I wonder which version of Dogs Viz is licensing....
The one-volume Dogs, or the follow-up series, Dogs: Bullets & Carnage.... or both.

Maybe they licensed both, but first want to see how the "one-shot" sells, before announcing the series.

I'm really happy about Lucky Star, March on Earth, Orange Planet and Happy Happy Clover. Not really sure on the others, though.

Missed one. Viz also picked up 20th Century Boys. Good year for Urasawa fans.

Whoot! I'm so happy that Yet Press has Cat Paradise licensed. (Especially since the scanlation group has seemed to drop it.)

there are two entries for the above title - there is also one for "sarasa" under author RIANG Ryu (which incidentally says the title isn't licensed). can they perhaps be merged?
