REQUEST THREAD: What Manga Should Seven Seas License Next?

[MrTerrorist]

Gakkou Gurashi.
It's a slice of life school manga you will like....Honest.

[ThelceManCometh]

Poor Poor Lips is a fantastic Shoujo-ai / Yuri manga. It was being put out by JManga before they went under so I don't know if it's available for licensing or not.

[Crazyj21990]

Here are some more titles that I would like to see license by Seven Seas Entertainment along with my other requests. Three that came out back in 2013 and the rest that came out this year in 2014. Here are the titles that came out in 2013...

Girl and Car on the Beat (Pato Musume Ikkimasu):

"In the town with a lighthouse, Inuhouzaki, the police patrol division's new recruit, Kurumi, and the talking middle-aged police-car-dog No.1 are on the case!
Everyday, they somewhat protect the peace of Inuhouzaki, but is it okay to leave it up to the rambunctious duo?
The new sensation that is the cute, slice-of-life short comedy is here!" (Obtained from http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=106087).

Regards to Black Wife (Black Yome ni Yoroshiku):

"Shinta, a normal highschooler on his way to school, gets (yet again) into an accident, but instead of dying, he is saved by a girl wearing nothing but black. She says that she is a shinigami and has come to become his wife, as promised. By the author of Kamen no maid guy, a perverted comedy with a shameless main character!" (Obtained from http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=101337). Judging from the description I have to say that it sounds like the main character is definitely in one crazy situation.

Boku Girl:

"Mizuki gets confessed to by a boy in front of a special Mirror. Legend has it, that if you confess to someone you like in front of that mirror your wish comes true!

There is a slight Problem in this Equation: Mizuki is just a very feminine looking boy.

Also it seems that he caught the Attention of the Norse Trickster God Loki while glancing into the Mirror. Loki decides out of boredom to mess with Mizuki and turns him into a real Girl." (Obtained from http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=105986). This title is basically another fantasy version of Kashimashi: Girl meets Girl just like the other title I've mentioned in one of my earlier posts, "Fukigen Cinderella", but also with a different plot.

Now here are the titles that came out this year in 2014...

Amagi Brilliant Park:

"The "slapstick drama" begins with Seiya Kanie, a high school boy who is invited on a date in an amusement park by a mysterious beautiful transfer student named Isuzu Sento. He is introduced to Ratifa, a "real" princess and the park's manager, and is asked to be the acting manager of this "disappointing amusement park in the Tokyo suburbs."" (Obtained from http://www.mangaupdates.com/whatsnew.html?). I would recommend this title for those whoever wondered what it would be like to run their own amusement park.

Kakei no Alice:

"High-school girl Stella comes from the noble and rich Kuonji family. Each month, they hold a special event – The Tea Party. And once all siblings were gathered at one place, the disaster happened… with the announcement that they all must kill each other, until only one survivor is left to inherit the right to become Head of the Kuonji family. And thus, a blood-drenched game starts for Stella. Or..?" (Obtained from http://www.mangaupdates.com/whatsnew.html?).

Keep Your Hands Off My Daughter! (Uchi no Musume ni Te o Dasu na!):

"The story follows a super heroine who stepped back and retired a decade ago. She withdrew to a humble life as a homemaker with her daughter. However, her beloved daughter was selected to become the next-generation heroine, so she returns to protect her daughter." (Obtained from http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=107275). I recommend this title for Seven Seas Entertainment if they are ever looking for any superhero related titles to license. If they are then they should license this title if they want to or if they choose to do so.

Monster Girl (Funatsu Kazuki) (Youkai Shoujo-Monsuga):

"Nishizuru Yakki is a permanent part-timer, regular customer in a maid-cafe, and 20-year-old virgin. What makes him special is his ability to see ghosts. But ghosts are not monsters, they are mostly harmless. At least our hero can live by simply ignoring them. Yakki never believed in monsters until the day when he meets the girl named Rokka. This cheerful girl appears to be one of the monster-kind!" (Obtained from http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=108373).

You're All Annoying (Omaera Zenin Mendokusai):

"For some reason, Kunitachi Kunihiko, a language arts teacher, always finds himself quarreling with his student, Ichimiya Kazumi, an anti-social girl without any friends. When he tells her to make some friends, she declares: "Be my friend, Sensei."" (Obtained from http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=107497).

Ore no Kanojo ni Nanika Youkai:

"Dan from Population GO:

While attending a Human/Youkai Co-ed school Fukuzumi confesses to Shiroishi Muku, classmate who happens to be a Snow Woman. He gets dumped and hilarity ensues." (Obtained from http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=89971). This title is basically like "Rosario + Vampire" but different.

Mermaid Prince (Ningyo no Ouji-sama-Mermaid Prince)

I hope you guys will license these along with my other requests. I also hope that you like them.

[Adam_Arnold]

Anything from Shueisha is impossible for anyone but Viz to get.

[Crazyj21990]

I can understand that. In fact I just discovered "Boku Girl" and "Youkai Shoujo-Monsuga" are published by Shueisha after I just look them up on www.mangaupdates.com. I just still hope that maybe you, Viz Media, or some other manga publishing company will license and publish these titles here in the US. Now as for the other titles that I've mentioned I hope that you guys will still license them along with my other requests.

[Choos]

Hi any chance you fine people will put out Log Horizon?

[Reeny]

Bonnouji by Aki Eda
Non Non Biyori by Atto
Sasameki Koto by Ikeda Takashi

[Ashandorath]

Tokyo ravens (It has both a manga and a novel. *hint* *hint*)

from wikipedia: In the "Great Disaster," Japan has been thrown into chaos by onmyouji. Harutora Tsuchimikado was born into an onmyouji family, but has no power whatsoever. His estranged childhood friend appears one day to take him up on a promise he made long ago to become her shikigami.

Had an anime series that ended in March.

[Crazyj21990]

Here are some more titles for my list of requests. I hope that you guys will license and publish these. I came across these titles on the website as well as its app (which connects you to its website) "MangaBox". Here they are along with their alternate titles that I looked up on http://www.mangaupdates.com in parentheses (except for the second one because I discoverd that its title is the same but written in different ways) and their summaries that I obtained from http://www.mangabox.me...

Man's Bestest Friend (Wanko Number One):

"Just after being dumped by his girlfriend for being wishy-washy, our hero meets a high school girl... with dog ears? Is she a dog? A human? She's wide open, rather naive, and with her around, it's just one crazy day after another. Romantic comedy author Hiroyuki Tamakoshi, author of "Boys Be", brings us the unlikely love story of a hopeless office worker and the extraordinarily beautiful girl who lives with him. Take care of your doggy!" (Summary obtained from https://www.mangabox.me/). This manga is basically like "Inukami" but different.

NadeNadeShikoShiko:

"The main character “Totoki” is an ordinary high school student who leads a mundane school life. One day, a mysterious, primitive girl, “Cherry” appears before Totoki! Whatever Cherry does is a mammoth class! Because of that, Totoki is being thrown around mercilessly! Is Totoki's normal life gradually changing?!" (Summary obtained from https://www.mangabox.me/). This manga is basically something you would expect from "Tarzan" except the jungle girl is a cave girl.

Too Much Booty (Onimote):

"Our protagonist, Outarou Kiyohime, is rather prone to getting pushed around. At the orders Nagi and Hibiki, a pair of gorgeous twins who head the student council, he goes off to ask the “Devilishly Hot Club”, who are unlawfully occupying their club room, to kindly leave. But then, the club Captain, Fiolentina, falls for Outarou at first sight. She does nothing but hit on him, and he just can’t get down to business! In the end, will Outarou be able to have them leave the room as per his orders? This is a soft and squishy 4-panel gag strip about a high school boy who is, for some reason, too popular with the ladies for his own good." (Summary obtained from https://www.mangabox.me/).

Milk on the Farm (Rakunou Milk!):

"When she was very young Milk Ushijima saw a calf being born on television and was greatly moved. Now she's enrolled in Tokyo School of Veterinary Medicine, and she thought her campus life was going to begin, but unfortunately... it turns out she's a complete airhead! She's about to get caught up in the lives of the crazy characters that are her teachers and fellow students, and her journey's about to go wild! A brand new four-panel comic set on the farm by Yoko Sanri of "B Gata H Kei Yamada's First Time!" Laughter, it does a body good (?)" (Summary obtained from https://www.mangabox.me/).

Bushido Academy (Take Dake Dake!-Takedakei Gentei):

"Bushido Academy gathers people who are descendants of the military commanders from the Warring States Period to fight for leadership. As Shingen Takeda’s ancestor, Tetsuro Takeda is forced to join Bushido Academy. Joining him is Rieko Sanada, who is descended from Masayuki Sanada, a loyal retainer of Takeda. Can they unify everyone together in a school where various warlord students battle for control? The curtain rises on this magnificent picture scroll featuring a Warring States themed academy." (Summary obtained from https://www.mangabox.me/). This manga is basically like "Sengran Kagura", that you already have licensed and are publishing, except it's all about samurais and not ninjas, and the school is not a secret like the ninja school is in "Senran Kagura".

Oh God! Dear God! (Haratama Kiyotama):

"Mitama Kamishiro is an athletic junior high school girl with a strong sense of justice who has dreamed of becoming a crime avenger since she was little. A mysterious shopping district, “Yaoyorozu Shopping District,” suddenly appears in front of the silly yet righteous Mitama, who “wants to save humanity from its inevitable downfall.” When Mitama goes to the shopping district that seems to be calling out to her, she is faced with… This is a Shinto-inspired comedy about a silly righteous high school girl and some bizarre Gods. Hurry up and pray!!" (Summary obtained from https://www.mangabox.me/).

Eyaminokami-The Plague Princess (Eyami no Kami):

"Sounji Nagare was in despair at his own incompetence and the contrasting, sheer brilliance of his younger brother. But his destiny takes an unexpected turn when he meets a beautiful young girl who calls herself “god.” Where will his family’s secret dark occupation and Nagare’s bloody past take him? An original story by GTO’s Toru Fujisawa is given new life as a manga by Happy Project’s Hirokazu Ochiai in this out-of-this-world fantasy." (Summary obtained from https://www.mangabox.me/). This title will be available on MangaBox on April 15,2014 for those of you who want to check it out.

[Crazyj21990]

Here are some more titles for my lists of requests...

Kantai Collection - Kancolle (Kantai Collection - Kankore - 4-koma Comic - Fubuki, Ganbarimasu!):

"Enjoy the heartwarming antics of the World War II-Era Japanese Imperial Navy in the form of cute girls training at the ship girl school.

The manga is based on the Kantai Collection browser game." (Title and summary retrieved from http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=97567). This manga is basically like the anime "Upotte" except the characters in this manga are the personifications of battleships instead of guns.

Killing Bites:

"From MangaHelpers:

People have been created that are human-animal hybrids, and powerful businesses bet on the outcome of their duels. College student Nomoto Yuuya's casual acquaintances ask him to drive them around to pick up girls one day, which he soon finds out means by force. The girl they kidnap is an animal-human hybrid named Hitomi, who slaughters all of them except Yuuya. Hitomi is a honey badger, which has been called the most fearless of all animals. Now Hitomi is assigned to stay with Yuuya, for his protection!

--------------------------
Killing Bites are underworld duels between human-animal hybrids.
One beast who knows no fear will fight in this animalistic world full of fear and insanity.

This ultimate battle of the beasts will shock you to your core!" (Retrieved from http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=105236). This manga is basically a cross between the novel "The Island of Dr. Moreau" and the TV Show "Deadliest Warrior". I know that this manga is an adult manga but I hope that you will license this if you choose to. If not, then I can understand your reasons for not wanting to license this title.

Hana no Android Gakuen:

"About Android school (all girl school?)
The students are the personification of Gadget/Device brands which use Android OS.
The School teacher is Google-Sensei
There also student (boys) from other school : Apple-Kun, RIM-Kun & Nokia-Kun" (Retrieved from http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=73612). This manga is also basically like the anima "Upotte" except the characters in this manga are the personifications of electronic devices that use Android OS software instead of the characters being the personifications of guns. The electronic devices in this manga are every electronic company on the planet from Sony to Panasonic to Nokia to Apple and other electronic companies. For more information on this manga go to http://weekly.ascii.jp/elem/000/000/162/162166/.

I hope that you will license and publish these titles along with my other requests.

[jessiej1987]

i would like to see Karneval by MIKANAGI Touya and Amatsuki by TAKAYAMA Shinobu licensed.

i love Amatsuki and just wish someone to License it. i know Karneval is licensed in english but its hard to get the books since Madman Entertainment only distribute in Australia and New Zealand and Chuang Yi went into liqudation.

[Crazyj21990]

Here are some more titles for my list of requests. I hope that you like them and you will license them along with my other requests. Here are they are and they're all supernatural titles...

Screaming Lessons (Zekkyou Gakkyuu):

"From Titania

Welcome to the classes of horror! I will be your guide to a world that lurks under everyday life. For these lessons, you don't need text books or notebooks.

If you're prepared for the worst..." (Retrieved from http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=35025). I would recommend this title for the company if it's looking for a horror anthology manga to license. This manga gives off that same vibe as the classic comic series and the tv show adaptation "Tales from the Crypt" except the stories take place in a school setting.

Shinbashi no Miko:

"Sadao, a graduate of a low class college, finds himself surprised that he was moved to a different department in a high level office building, located on level B2 (basement level), of the building. Upon entering his new office, he encounters a miko, and is told by his superior to follow her. He follows her and finds a man about to rape a woman, but the miko, named Ichiko, enters the scene and purges the man. A spirit exits the man, and things are back to normal. According to Ichiko, the number of sexual harassment and rape cases have multiplied by 20 times over the past 3 years! In order to do so, Ichiko is to reduce the number of such cases and prevent chaos from occurring by purging these souls that affect the minds of humans. Sadao was believed to have potential to fight against these souls, which is why he was moved to that department. So what's the secret to her powers? Read and find out!" (Retrieved from http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=37800).

Soul Mate Tourist (Yuurei Ryokoudairiten Soul Mate Tourist):

"At her grandmothers funeral 5 years ago Touno Mariko saw her grandmothers ghost. Ever since then she has been able to see ghosts. One day when visiting her grandmother she accidentally angers an old spirit and is saved by Takenaka Masato. Masato works for a spirit travel agency, which is exactly what it sounds like. As fate would have it Mariko now has to work for this agency to pay off her debt to the angered spirit." (Retrieved from http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=13505). Talk about a crazy mess that the main character is in.

[Crazyj21990]

Here are some more titles for my list of requests and they're all supernatural titles. I hope you like them and that you'll license them along with my other requests. Here they are...

Izo's Lover! (Izoraba!):

"From SCX-Scans:

Once upon a time, there was a courtesan who fell in love with an impoverished Noh-mask maker. However, when her lover rejected her, the courtesan threw herself from a bridge in dispair. She left behind a note cursing him and his descendents. In current day one of that man’s decendents, Izou, discovers that the guardian mask at his temple has cracked and the ghost of the past has come back for her lover." (Retrieved from http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=24117).

Kami-sama Drop (God Has Fallen):

"17-year-old Nowaki Asunaro has been forsaken by fortune since his birth. Every step he takes, bad luck awaits, whether it takes the shape of a falling bucket of water on his head or being blamed for crimes he never committed. Even for an exceptionally unlucky fellow like him, he still hopes to become friends with the love of his life: Hashihime Banri. The only problem lies in the fact that every time he almost gets close to her, his lack of luck blocks the way.

On one typical day for him, filled with unfortunate accidents, he ends up having to protect himself from the rain in a forsaken and dilapidated temple. He becomes feverish from cold and hunger, but in desperation, he prays to the gods that he survive this day and become friends with Banri. Lo and behold, it seems like he accidentally summoned a God(?). Will this accident bring him the luck he never had?"(Retrieved from http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=87845).

Kami-sama x Ore-sama x Danna-Sama:

"Amane Ninomiya is a elementary-school sized high-school girl who stopped growing at seven years old. Amane, who is worried about her growth, comes across a weird (but handsome) boy who calls himself a god at the shrine of her grandfather. "I'll grant your wish and pay back your grandfather's debt," the god says, kissing her, and for some reason her body grows...!?" (Retrieved from http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=97071).

Now here's another title I would like to suggest for my list of requests and this one is not a supernatural title. Here it is...

Doukyuusei no Maccho-kun:

"My name is Bakuryusai Yuu, I’m in first year high school and a little more sturdier than normal people, by a little more I mean a lot more. But that hasn't stopped me from chasing after the girl I love, Tsujizono-san. But wait! There is a note on the blackboard saying that she is kidnapped! Wait for me Tsujizono-san! I will save you with my MUSCLES!!!" (Retrieved from http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=107967).
