...*AND* they also just announced licenses for the Boku dake ga Inai Machi (a.k.a. ERASED)-- which, BTW, is fantastic, and *LEAGUES* better than the anime!!-- and Bungou Stray Dogs manga, too!!

[MangaRocks!]

Continuing the glorious saga of "Yen Press Owns My Wallet And I Give It To Them Gladly" , now they've licensed the Sound! Euphonium novels (among other things)!

[MangaRocks!]

Yep, Yen Press strikes again-- this time with the excellent Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria (a.k.a. The Empty Box And The Zeroth Maria / HakoMari novels!!

If you haven't heard of them before (or would just like to know why this is a great acquisition), you can read my review of this 7-volume series in this post.

[MangaRocks!]

For once I'm *not* posting about Yen Press, LOL-- this time it's Seven Seas, who just licensed Satoshi Mizukami's masterpiece Spirit Circle!!

[MangaRocks!]

Chihayafuru has been (digitally) licensed!

[MangaRocks!]

Yet again, Yen Press owns my wallet: They just licensed the ACCA: 13-Territory Inspection Dept. and One Week Friends manga series (among other things)!

[MangaRocks!]

(EDIT:) Several more rather large pieces of news:

* #1, Yen Press (...who else, LOL? ) *FINALLY* licensed Silver Spoon (among many other things)!

* #2, Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card Arc has just been licensed by Kodansha!

* And #3, Seven Seas has licensed Takano Ichigo's Orange: Future, the Boogiepop novels, *and* the Toradora! novels!

[MangaRocks!]

This time it's Viz (for once, LOL ) -- they just licensed the hilarious Takane to Hana!

[MangaRocks!]

Seven Seas just licensed the excellent romantic comedy Ojojojo!

(EDIT:) Plus, Yen Press finally licensed Fruits Basket Another!

[MangaRocks!]

Actually not a licensing announcement this time, but rather a new series announcement-- and one I would have never expected (this was definitely a pleasant surprise):

Muhyo & Roji's Bureau Of Supernatural Investigation is getting a sequel!

[MangaRocks!]

Vertical licensed After The Rain (a.k.a. Koi wa Ameagari no You ni)...

...AND, MUCH MORE IMPORTANTLY, Kodansha licensed WotaKoi {a.k.a. Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii)!

[Kaori]

Vertical licensed After The Rain (a.k.a. Koi wa Ameagari no You ni)

Nice.

[MangaRocks!]

MOB PSYCHO 100 HAS FINALLY BEEN LICENSED!!!!!!

[MangaRocks!]

Holy crap, someone *finally* licensed the Akagami no Shirayuki-hime (a.k.a. Snow White With The Red Hair) manga!!!

[Rose Faerie]

Well, Hiromu Arkawa's writing a new manga. No one knows what it's about, but she's making one. All that's been released is a visual she drew. I'm probably going to read it once it's liscenced.

[Kaori]

Neat! I'm sure anything by her will be great.
