I would like to see Psycho-Pass, New Testament Wolf Is Coming!, Zombie Hunter, Saiyuki, DENDROBATES, and Black Bullet as the next ones to come out by Seven Seas License. I would like to see all of them in a manga omnibus format.



Plot for Black Bullet (Retrieved from http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=83411)

From Baka-Tsuki:

A near future, where humans have been defeated by the viral parasites named Gastrea. They have been exiled into a small territory and live in despair, side by side with terror.

In this world trapped in darkness—

Rentaro, a boy living near Tokyo and member of the "Civil Security" – an organization specializing in fighting against the Gastrea – is used to accomplishing dangerous tasks. His partner is Enju, a precocious young girl. They fight thanks to their peculiar powers until one day, when they receive a special assignment from the government. This top secret mission is to prevent the destruction of Tokyo...

Set in a near future, this thrilling heroic-action story... starts now

How about picking the manga Future Diary? After all, there's only 2 more volumes left to be published and the series will be complete.

Actually, I'd love to see anything (everything) that he's done be published over here, but TLBH is probably the most easily marketable thing he's done. Also the best. It's got a large enough cult following over here that I think it has a decent chance of doing well, and I for one would almost kill to see it be brought over here.

My god. Unless this is the cruelest joke in history, you have just become my absolute favorite publisher ever! It was oh so very worth the three years of waiting since I posted that-you people are the absolute best!

I would love to see a publisher pick up Seikon no Qwaser again since Tokyopop went bankrupt and the series just rocks :)

I loved the series and feel the same way, though I seriously doubt it's likely.

Here's another manga I would like to suggest for my list of requests and I gotta tell you that this one's crazy.

Love x Rob x Stockholm

"Sayama Junichirou is an ordinary student who wishes for some action in his life. When he come home one day, he is held hostage by the famous bank robber, Kazuha." (Retrieved from http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=41617).

What makes this manga crazy is the mess that Sayama is in with the bank robber, Kazuha.

Here's some more titles I would like to suggest for my list of requests. These titles were just released this year and I gotta tell you that these titles are both crazy and funny.

Zai x 10:

This manga is basically a police anthology manga based on what I've gathered when I read it.

Wind Up Snail (Nejimaku Kagyu):

"Negizawa Kamo once tearfully promised his weak childhood friend Kagyu Jubei that he would grow up to be a teacher who would not stand for bullying. Several years later, as a teacher, he meets Kagyu once more under...strange circumstances to say the least.

While Negizawa was training to become a great teacher, Kagyu (who, like most women, fell for Negizawa) polished her fists so that she could protect him when they met again.

Hilarity ensues as Negizawa strives to become the teacher he once dreamed of being and Kagyu protects his chastity from the numerous women who lust after his sweet behind." (Retrieved from http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=63542).

Today's Kerberos (Kyou no Cerberus):

"Ever since an childhood incident, Chiaki has never been able to truly feel joy or have fun. One day, his traveling father sends him a mysterious cardboard box. Once opened, a girl who calls herself Cerberus pops out of the box! This girl, who has three personalities in one, vows to protect Chiaki from all harm. Will Chiaki be able to live with this three-in-one girl? [DrCoke]" (Retrieved from http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=102952).

Otogi Taisen Phantasma (Otogi Taisen Fantasma):

"Yamada Tarou is living a regular life, until the death of the father he never sees catapults him into the role of the 13th King of the holy Phantasma kingdom. Now that he's king, Tarou has become the target of assassins, and all he has on his side is a mistress, Princess Kaguya, whose goal is to make Tarou a worthy king." (Retrieved from http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=95617).

Re: Marina:

"From MangaHelpers:

Rinosuke's useless and vagrant father is now dead. Now, at the age of 16, he is completely alone and will have to quit school to survive. On the night his father dies, a naked woman with large breasts falls from the sky and lands on top of him. She introduces herself as Sakamoto Marina, the future wife of the future Rinosuke. She states that she used a time machine to come back to the past, and start a new life with the younger Rinosuke. Rinosuke's new life with his future(?) wife begins.[DrCoke]" (Retrieved from http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=95345). I understand that this is an adult manga I'm o.k. if you do or you don't choose to license this title.


Now the following titles that I would like to suggest are interesting and some of them were released in earlier years.

Misun Impossible:

"Top secret agent Im Misun! She's given an absurd mission to become an "ordinary teacher." Her unique lessons start now." (Retrieved from http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=101159). This manga was released this year in 2013.

Fuku Neko:

"One day, a ronin on his way home gave a bentou to a cosplay cat girl. Unexpectedly, the cat girl then decided to stay at his house, resulting in the two living together. Another unexpected thing is that the girl turns out to be one of the mountain shrine Gods… Having to deal with the girl’s magic and the teasing from other cats and Gods keeps the main character’s hands full. Will he ever get a break or will his “big pet” be a burden forever." (Retrieved from http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=45707). This manga was released in 2008.

Charon:

"From MangaHelpers:

An average of 260 humans are born every minute. On the 9th minute of the 9th hour of September 9, 2024, only 18 individuals were born. On that day and minute, 18 stars shined brightly in the sky, and these 18 children were chosen by prophecy to be the saviors of mankind.

Nitarazu Hisoka wakes up, completely naked and surrounded by cold metal. Others lay around him, all approximately similar in age. As they attempt to grasp their situation, they find themselves face to face with the leader of a cult-like religious group known as "Kreetha." The explanation they receive from this religious group shatters any hope for a normal life for these young individuals. Now, they must survive the trials laid before them, while coming face to face with each others' pasts. [DrCoke]" (Retrieved from http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=103654). This manga was just released this year in 2013.

Rikijo:

"From MangaHelpers:

Marumi was accepted into her high school through her Kyudo (Japanese Archery) skills, but recently, her growing breasts are getting in the way. Now, she has been forced to quit Kyudo and is now on the brink of being kicked out of her high school due to her not so stellar grades. Her teacher recommended her to a club known as "Rikijo," a female sumo wrestling club. Will Marumi be able to keep up with this new club? [DrCoke]" (Retrieved from http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=98581). This manga was also just released this year in 2013.

In The First Grade (Ichinensei ni Nacchattara):

"While on his way to school to confess his love to classmate Kusanagi Mikuru with a love letter, a second year high school student Takatou Iori gets run over by a truck to save a cute first year elementary schoolgirl.

But when he wakes up, he's revived by a perverted doctor, as a full fledged female first year student and is now in the same class as the girl he saved." (Retrieved from http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=15026). This manga was released in 2007 and it's basically like Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl but different.

M Game:

"From MangaHelpers:

In the past, plump and rounded women were considered the pinnacle of female beauty. Now, society, and in turn women themselves, changed the ideal female figure. This story is about a young boy and his battle against society's stigma towards healthy women. He is the guardian of plump women around the world, and he will not stop until society realizes what is true female beauty. His name is Takehaya Susanono Mikoto and he is the 150th Guardian of the "Muchi Muchi." [DrCoke]" (Retrieved from http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=98420). This manga was just released this year as well in 2013.

Here's some more titles I would like to suggest for my list of requests. I hope you like them.

Spotted Flower:

"It's about the married life between a newlywed working otaku and his pregnant wife." (Retrieved from http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=59921).

Cellphone Girl Heaven:

"Ginta's father works at a cellphone company called "Choto Bank." Their new cellphone is a humanoid cellphone. Gina's father sent his son a prototype version of the humanoid cellphone, but Ginta's sister unexpectedly made some "changes" to the new cellphone and due to that it makes countless mistakes. The cellphone humanoid, named Momoko, slips on flat surfaces, rips Ginta's jacket, turns a jacket into a puzzle, and trips and nearly kills Ginta when a pair of scissors slip out of her hand. Ginta asks himself, "Will I live long in this condition?"
{Notice: This manga is different from traditional manga. Instead of reading right to left, it reads left to right.}" (Retrieved from http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=40939).

My Pretty Bride (Kuroyome):

"A series of inter-related short stories including:

01-04: Kuroyome
05-06: Metoraba
07: Mitsuko-san's Agony
08: Fuji-sensei's Lie" (Retrieved from http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=63219).

Grim Reaper and Four Girlfriends (Shinigami-sama to 4-nin no Kanojo):

"From tethysdust at MangaHelpers:

Minaguchi Kaoru is nothing special. He's no good at sports or school, isn't in any clubs, and he's not popular. He has no friends and isn't even interested in any of the girls he knows. He's also teased due to the fact that he loves shoujo manga. Unlike the harem daydreams of his peers, he dreams of finding his true love. Unfortunately, a shinigami comes to kill him, simply because he's a "forever alone" sort of guy. When he gasps out his intention of embracing life with his final breaths, though, she takes it back! As long as he follows through on his intentions, he won't be killed.

To convince the shinigami that his plans are genuine, he declares that he will confess to the girl he likes, the very next day. Expecting failure with confessing to random girls in his school, he sends out love letters to four different girls. To his surprise, they all agree to be his girlfriend. Now, this shoujo-manga-loving guy has ended up in a kind of harem story, quadruple-timing four girls! Will he be able to stay involved enough with society to avoid an early death?" (Retrieved from http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=98567). This manga was just released this year in 2013.

In addition to these titles here's a recap of the ones from my previous posts that I would like to see licensed and published the most. I apologize if this sounds like that I'm being pushy and impatient but I'm not being either pushy or impatient. I would just really like to see these titles licensed and published the most along with the above titles I've just mentioned. I understand that takes a while to license and publish certain titles because of what you have to go through but I can wait.

Hi there.

First I would like to say thank you for bringing us such titles ad The Sacred Blacksmith, A certain scientific Railgun and Monster musume. These are some of my favourite titles at the moment. And I can't wait to buy future titles.

I know you said that 2014 was fully planned, and that you would have to consider what might sell in 2015. But im going to take a chance and suggest Koihime Musou and its sequal Shin Koihime Musou.

http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=26073
http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=42447
http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=63680

The anime is being streamed on crunchyroll, and has been licensed by the sentai filmworks, and the visual novel by mangagamer. The manga is a few years old now, and Im not sure if there is a huge audiance for it. But I thought I would suggest it anyway. Im kind of a big fan of the series. And I would love to see the manga in english.

Another title I would to like to licensed along with my other requests is this one...

Dr. Hitomi's Infirmary (Hitomi-sensei no Hokenshitsu):

"A new monstergirl series running in Comic Ryu that follows Hitomi, a cyclops that works as a nurse at a school, and the many students that come to her for help with their human (and not-so-human) problems." (Retrieved from http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=103132).

This title was just released this year in 2013 on October 5 and it's still ongoing. In fact it's already up to 3 chapters. This manga is both crazy and funny and it has a lot of weird stuff in it such as monsters. I hope you like it and that you'll license it once it gets more chapters.

In recognition of the license of The Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer, I would like to suggest two more titles by Satoshi Mizukami, the author of The Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer: Psycho Staff and Sengoku Youko. Psycho Staff is a completed one volume series, whereas Sengoku Youko is ongoing with twelve volumes and counting. Their descriptions on Baka-Updates Manga are given below.

Psycho Staff: "To Hiiragi Kouichi-kun. I'll be waiting for you after school behind the school gym. Sakuragi Umeko." These were the words written in the first love letter Hiiragi ever received. But when he meets Sakuragi, she tells him that she wants to take him to the planet R'lyeh!?! Disappointed that the love letter from the cute girl came from a nutcase, Hiiragi returns home, only to find that Sakuragai won't give up so easily. Not only that, she may have been telling the truth afterall! But then again, Hiiragi isn't such a normal guy, either...

Sengoku Youko: "Stop your evil deeds and take the right path!" That is the creed of Youko Tama and her younger step brother, Jinka Sendou. The two demon siblings travel the country to stop the deeds of all evil doers, along with a scaredy-cat swordsman they picked up along the way, Hyoudou Shinsuke. During their travels, they will come across a monk organization with more than suspicious methods and they'll soon be at war.

I know I had ask this already but are you sure there is no way to license the manga Magico by IWAMOTO Naoki just because viz media owns it, I think that they have no intentions of bring that great story with the perfect blend of action, adventure, romance and comedy into an english version. It would be awesome to have possession of a manga in it physical print form then to read it through the screen. Anyway keep up the great work of bring the Asian culture of manga/manhwa over the states.
