| Sorry for the delay, but I was *at* NYAF, so was unable to post about stuff. It was great fun.
TOKYOPOP: Boku ga Utau to Kimi wa Waraukara. 1 volume, shoujo. Hakusensha, serialized mostly in Bessatsu Hana to Yume from 1993 to 1998. From the creator of Fruits Basket. This means everything out in Japan is now out here bar Hoshi Wa Utau. Ratman. 5+ volumes, shonen. Kadokawa Shoten, serialized in Shonen Ace since 2007. From the creator of Murder Princess. .hack//LINK. I don't care. Seikon no Qwasar. 7+ volumes, seinen. Akita Shoten, serialized in Champion Red since 2006. Artist did Mai-HIME and Mai Otome manga. Croquis. 1 volume, yaoi. Gentosha, serialized in Rutile Sweet since 2004. Blood Honey. 1 volume, yaoi. Gentosha, serialized in Comic Magazine LYNX since 2008. Love Knot. 1 volume, yaoi. Gentosha, serialized in Comic Magazine LYNX since 2007. Kawaii Akuma. 1 volume, yaoi. Gentosha, serialized in Comic Magazine LYNX since 2008. Sakoku Renai. 1 volume, yaoi. Gentosha, serialized in Comic Magazine LYNX since 2007. [EDIT - And the 2nd Fruits Basket fanbook.]
VERTICAL: Peepo Choo. 2+ volumes, seinen. Kodansha, serialized in Morning 2 since 2008. I am so very happy about this. Futatsu no Spica. 16 volumes, seinen. Media Factory, serialized in Comic Flapper since 2001. Twin Spica got a manga in 2004. Those who liked Translucent might like this. 70 Oku no Hari. 1 volume, seinen. Media Factory, serialized in Comic Flapper since 2008. Based on a story by Hal Clement. Chi's Sweet Home. 6+ volumes, seinen. Kodansha, serialized in Morning since 2004. They really do have this. It will be flipped and have translated SFX (which the artist has approved), so that it can sell mainstream. I approve.
DEL REY: Koko ni Iru yo!. 5 volumes, shoujo. Kodansha, serialized in Nakayoshi since 2007. Rave Master. 35 volumes, shonen. Kodansha, serialized in Weekly Shonen Magazine since 1999. Del Rey will finish the series, Tokyopop started it. Arisa. 2+ volumes, shoujo. Kodansha, serialized in Nakayoshi since 2009. The new title from the Kitchen Princess creator. Yokai Navi Runa. 3+ volumes, shoujo. Kodansha, serialized in Nakayoshi since 2008. From the Mamotte Lollipop artist.
VIZ: Gente - Ristorante no Hitobito. 3 volumes, seinen. Oota Shuppan, serialized in Manga Erotics F since 2006. A sequel to Ristorante Paradiso. Toshokan Sensou: Love & War. 4+ volumes, shoujo. Hakusensha, serialized in LaLa since 2008. Ningyou Kyuutei Gakudan. 2+ volumes, shoujo. Hakusensha, serialized in Bessatsu Hana to Yume since 2008. From the Godchild/Cain author. Kamisama Hajimemashita. 4+ volumes, shoujo. Hakusensha, serialized in Hana to Yume since 2008. From the author of Karakuri Odette. Bob to Yukaina Nakamatachi 2009. 1+ volume, seinen. Shogakukan, serialized in Ikki since 2009. A silly baseball comedy. Kotae Wa Mittsu. 2+ volumes, seinen. Shogakukan, serialized in Ikki since 2001. (Not sure Ikki was around in 01, it may have started elsewhere). Another silly manga.
That's a lot of licenses! Most excited about all the Vertical stuff, Library Wars, Kamisama, and more Natsume Ono. | |

| The big news - 30 volumes of One Piece in 6 months. From Jan 2010 to June, 5 vols. per month.
Shonen Jump will jump to the Impel Down arc in Jan. 2010.
Yes, I think this is stupid. I also doubt Viz has a choice in the matter. Shueisha owns them.

Hakusensha, serialized in LaLa, 2006. Very surprised Viz let them get this. Only girl at guy's school. Nadeshiko Club. 7 volumes, shoujo. Hakusensha, serialized in Hana to Yume, 2000. CMX also picked up the same author's Towaware Gokko recently. | |

| No manga, obviously.
Anime: Maria-sama Ga Miteru, Season 4 Aria the OAV and Aria the Origination Junjo Romantica, Season 1 and 2 Antique Bakery
Nicely divided; half yuri series, half yaoi. :) | |

| I'm out of here for NYAF till Monday. As a result, that's when the manga list will be posted. Have fun while I'm gone! - Tags:conventions

| Panel schedule is up for NYAF, and I'm going through trying to see what is necessary and what is merely interesting.
Definitely: Friday, 6:45pm. Vertical. Saturday, 11:15am. Cooking manga. Saturday, 1:45pm. Del Rey. Saturday, 8pm. Yuri panel. Sunday, 11:15am. State of the Manga Industry. Sunday, 12:30pm. Yen Press.
As for screenings: Sunday, 2:45pm, Aria.
Disappointments? No Viz, waaah. And no Kodansha, making me raise an eyebrow at their 'Big announcement in September' promise. No Tokyopop, but wasn't expecting them. | |
