i dun really get it, don't u get the rights to release all of the volumes once u license it? i think there is only 3 volumes, and they have all be serialized and compiled into the 3 volumes that are all out in japan now
Support the anime industry! If you really are a fan and enjoy a series, buy the DVDs, fansubs are great, but misusing them really hurts the already marginal-profited anime industry.

Licensing tends to happen in 3 volume chunks, but it can be any number.

For instance, when we licensed First Love Sisters, there was only one volume out in Japan at that point, so we could only get the rights to the first volume.

Now First Love Sisters is a Comic Yuri Hime manga right?

Yes it is. Volume 2 was published on 5-2-2007 and Volume 3 was published on 5-1-2008. Most Kinokuniyas in the US have them. I picked mine up in the Little Tokyo store in LA.

Any chance of all three volumes of this series being re-released as an omnibus edition?

Scanlations are okay as a temporary fix, but I prefer having physical copies of the manga that I read.

The license is in rights hell with no chance of anything beyond the first volume being released in North America.

Is there any development regarding the license issue of volume 2 and 3?

In my opinion it's a really great series, I hope you guys find a way out of this situation and acquire the rights to release the last 2 volumes.

Thanks for your continuous efforts, high hopes!^^

We have no plans to repursue the remaining volumes of this series.

Not sure if anyone will read this any time soon, but worth a try. I wanted to know if Seven seas plans to release volume 2 of first love sisters?

The series has rights issues associated with the later books that prevent volume 2 and 3 from being licensed. We tried to get them right after we released book 1, but were unable to.
