Deb Aokiさんのイラストまとめ

I started reading The Boxer by JH on @webtoonofficial b/c @yenpress / @izepress picked it up for print release later this year, and wow, it is really something special. It does some really smart, unexpected things w/ its plot https://t.co/LfIxkWV59c

Omg - a new webtoon series by Akiko Higashimura (Princess Jellyfish) is now on @tapas_app. 20 episodes of Do You Remember Me? are up now: https://t.co/lRH8el0o9p

Tho, French / German / Italian / spanish manga readers - correct me if i’m not quite seeing the whole picture, but it feels like the English market has more Korean comics, light novels and BL/GL manga… true? Not true?

It’s helpful to remember that Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure was in a similar situation. The first @VIZMedia editions didn’t sell that well, so it was left in licensing limbo for a long time. Then the anime started 10+ yrs later & it found its audience https://t.co/oD4Au8oN8H

If/when @VIZMedia announces these two from Ai Yazawa or if Nana resumes, that will be *big* news. There’s a retrospective art exhibit opening soon in Tokyo, so maybe?

Was also pleased to have Rachel Thorn announce @fantagraphics' edition of The Poe Clan https://t.co/Fm3GGB9a1X, and Daihei Shiohama fr. Media-Do announce New Grappler Baki https://t.co/7lKblLuYJq at past Manga Publishers Roundtable panels at SDCC. will we have more this year?

Annnd here are a few "Most Wanted/Not Yet Licensed" manga picks from Best & Worst Manga 2019-2021 that haven't yet found a home w/ an English language publisher, in print or digital... yet.

hey manga peeps -- it's convention season, a time when readers pray to the publishing gods, hoping that their favorite as-yet-unlicensed manga series gets picked up for English publication. Here's a few that got announced at past summer cons... what's on your wish list?

Also on FRI 7/22 at San Diego @comic_con is "Josei, not YA" panel, hosted by @hellobarkada, with @BlackJoseiPress founder/author @JamilaRowser (Wash Day Diaries), Shamika Mitchell, Jessica Tseang & me. 12 pm, rm 32AB https://t.co/ALv0vH5xCE

@shinamishi @VIZMedia @denpa_books @KodanshaManga @DarkHorseComics @UdonEnt @MantaComics @Comic_Con With the manga market in N. America enjoying stronger sales than ever, AND a manga readership that is maturing/is ready to support these works by purchasing them, "classics" have a better chance than ever to get official English releases, but it's still not a sure thing.
