Agree to both of these and would like to add again Read or Die series if it is not licensed. Oh and since SSE has the manga, the Inukami lite novel too would be cool.
Viz released all of R.O.D. (both Read or Die and Read or Dream)
Viz just released the manga. There's also a novel series, which I would enjoy as well since the novels apparently give you much more background on Yumiko than the anime or manga ever gave you.

Eat-Man (Viz barely got anywhere with this back before the new millenium... It could use a proper, complete release since it's easily his best work)
Companion (The manga Yoshitomi is doing now for Magazine Z; already another great from him)
I'll second these requests. Eat-Man is a great title from the late 90's/early 2000's that got unfortunately overlooked and overshadowed. I would love to see it get a second lease on life in English.

Yoshitomi's other title, RAY, was quite good too and I was sad to see ADV discontinue it after 3 volumes. With ADV, it was always hard to tell if a series was ended because of poor sales or their own managerial incompetence when it came to manga. If anybody gave RAY another chance, I would be a ready and willing customer.

In case you didn't know, Maria-sama ga Miteru light novels are being fan translated online. They are on vol. 2, and plan to do all 30. Just thought I'd tell you, I myself haven't read them.

I will repeat again, bring us SPICE AND WOLF!

And maybe MM! light novels too.

Ray and Eat-Man have a snowballs chance of being licensed again. They're just very iffy in the sales department.

I have to agree, Just like manga, holding the actual physical thing makes it so much more special. :)
