Here's something intriguing. Probably you guys in 7Seas already know about it, but there's a third and final volume that's coming soon. I wonder what that one is going to be about.

I always feel an ominous chill when I read the word "final."

I'd say you have to whether you can or not, because Seven Seas put the series on infinite hiatus (for lack of sales AFAIK).

The series is on hold due to rights issues.

Ah, yes, I recall now that you mentioned this in the "Talk Back" forum once. You still aren't allowed to disclose any details I take it?

I truly hope these issues do work out for the best, this is a great seires, and one I would like to see more of released over here... if it helps with getting the rights, you can tell them there is at least one more fan that would snap it up the second it hits the shelves.

I couldn't agree more on this series.

That sucks! In my opinion if a company is determined enough to get a manga/anime etc. liscensed in the US (or anywhere else) then they should be polite enough to release the whole thing not just one or two parts of a series. I'm still pissed that Infinity dropped 'Iono-sama'! I don't think its fair to the consumers to not release the whole series just because sales aren't as good as they think they should be. My guess is one or two series not selling well is not going to be enough to counteract the profits of the series that are selling well!

However, money spent is money that cannot be spent later on, would you have a company risk even five dollars if it later turns out that five dollars what stood between it licensing a title you want and not being able too?

While First Love Sisters has performed slightly better than The Last Uniform, the series is caught in rights hell right now. So even if we wanted to release the 2nd volume, we can't get the rights to it. Thankfully, volume one is self-contained.

Well ok I guess if you can't even get the rights to it thats one thing. I just hope that Seven Seas isn't in the habit of dropping series if the first volume(s) don't sell as well as expected.
