Well I would love to see licensed Uchuu Kyoudai and Gaku. Especially Uchuu Kyoudai, I love space, and the manga just looks so cool. Also waiting for someone (Viz) to license Oyasumi Punpun.

The rest of it is already licensed in French, which works for me (lika Ashita no Joe or Saint oniisan).

EDIT: And forgot to mention my impossible wish Thermae Romae. I would love so much to pick that up.

[quote=GGpX][quote=Aikanaro]Why would you want 7 Seeds to be licensed while we're getting weekly scanlated updates? Do you want to wait 3-4+ years before reading any more of it?

Way to miss the point.

One of the reasons why people want their mangas to be licensed is that they can purchase the mangas for their own manga collection instead of just reading them from the internet or their computers. Purchasing the manga is also a sign of respect/appreciation for the mangaka's works. ^^

shrug I guess I just value being able to read something now rather than far in the indeterminate future. Collecting is fine, but reading is better. With their general track record it's hard to trust localisation companies to get their shit together and release at a reasonable rate.[/quote]
it would be sad if your favorite mangaka has to look for a new job because everyone just read his stories online and didn´t purchase them. It´s like this: Read manga online -> check which mangas got licensed -> by at least one volume of you favorite manga when they are released in your country ->? -> PROFIT
i think they should license hetalia. good for education and is funny[/quote]

considering that a mangaka will get less than 1% of a licensed work sales, id rather write them a check or send some pay pal love if i could.

Still tha mangaka prefers that you buy their manga, rather then "stealing".

None that have to be licensed for me since I live in Japan 😛 But off course I wish that people can read the manga they love in their own language for their comfort and be able to buy it in their own country.
Also I really think if like the manga, and have the option of buying it, that you should do it. Nothing can beat the feeling when you can look at your collection and read them whenever you want.

This may be a foreign concept to you, but it's perfectly possible to buy manga in its original language, even if you don't know Japanese. The printing quality is generally better so you get better quality art, it's guaranteed to be unedited so you don't have to deal with censorship, and it's generally way cheaper than English releases so you might even save some money.

The World God Only Knows
Tokyo Crazy Paradise

If they would be licensed I would certainly buy them. I don't think I'll have to fear voor TWGOK. It is getting so populair, now with the anime and stuff. It will propably get licensed. But Tokyo Carzy Paradise? I don't think they will ever license it -_-'

The World is Mine, Specially the wideban editions with the colour pages and Hideki Arai interview.
Ultra Heaven in a nice giant format would be sweet.
I am a Hero
Soil
Kiichi VS God damn it Delcourt and Shokakugan or Enterbrain or who ever has the rights right now, GET ON IT!

I second all of these, especially the first. I'd add Nijigahara Holograph, The Music of Marie and Takemitsu Zamurai to the list, and I'd suspect that they have a somewhat higher chance of eventually being licensed.

In addition to these, I'd love to see a full volume from the Nishioka Kyoudai or Shintaro Kago printed in English.

Rainbow and Saint Oniisan, for sure.

Can just about imagine the religious controversy if Saint Oniisan got localized though.

Rose of Versailles (This is my first choice), Glass Mask,Vinland Saga, GEKKA NO KIMI (it's not that good I just like it), Ichi the Killer, Hapi Mari and theirs more I would like licensed and I will look them up later.
I don't mind reading manga online, I just prefer to have a hard copy that is on paper.

The only reason Saint Young Men is not licensed is because it's dripping in Japanese pop culture references. Vertical looked into it, but Kodansha said that they're not yet interested in releasing it here, basically, because it might be a failure for the reason I mentioned.

This may be a foreign concept to you, but it's perfectly possible to buy manga in its original language, even if you don't know Japanese.

This is pretty true. I won't say most books are censored over here, since censorship of manga is not widespread like it used to be- I wish people could just drop $5-7 on just one of their favorite mangaka's tankoubans, even if they just end up donating it. They're really not hard to order or anything, there are a ton of ways, and that is a really good way to support the industry.

Though I just buy the ones I want to in English, and Japanese, too. It depends on how likely I think the series is to sell poorly, how far the English one is compared to Japanese, etc. If I feel like it's a risky thing to purchase the English volume because the series isn't performing well, I buy it in Japanese. It's probably cheaper, even with the shipping (I just got 14 tankoubans for like $70)
