Aw. No Ecole du Ciel anywhere. TokyoPop almost got to the 12th volume. Although, the series is on hold, so would probably be unreliable as a seller...

And I don't think it's canon?

Awesome, I'm loving The Origin so it would be nice to see vertical release more titles. Although i'm not really sure what i would want to see since most of the unlicensed gundam manga series I'm interested in are far from finished.

Technically all Gundam manga is non canon. Or to be even more technical there is no "canon". To Sunrise there is only Official and unofficial. All gundam anime series fall under the former and anything else the latter.

Edit: according to twitter Vertical is only interested in titles created after 2007

I'm not at all interested in Gundam manga, but for guidebooks and artbooks absolutely yes.

Personally, I only collect manga if it doesn't have an anime adaptation or if the anime is drastically different (like Rosario + Vampire). So, I'd want all the universes to be available so I can get all their side stories.

Having said that, I would rather Sunrise and Bandai just make anime adaptations for every existing manga side story and novel instead of piling up the events of each universe, especially Universal Century.

I voted Crossbones, its was good manga, but I only got sample of the thing.

I would vote for one of the newer ones.

As interesting as potential Origin series, I'm not into rehashes.

I'd like to get Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam Define, the newer Zeta Gundam manga.

Unfortunately crossbone gundam came out before 2007 and Vertical is only interested in titles after 2007.

I'm pretty sure I saw it on their list of titles in the survey, though.

@Zetabag

Yeah, Crossbone was an option on their survey, so they actually are considering it

Alright I stand corrected though I hope its the actual Crossbone manga and not just some art-book, guidebook or some other supplementary material.

Personally though my first pick would be the Gundam Unicorn manga adaptation.
