They handle all the Ana Sanchez girl's love releases (Sirius, Alter Ego, Alter Ego 2) and a few other good ones, so I've never really thought about their content strategy much. I don't assume customers will care who the publisher is though, but I don't know anything about that anyway.

Glancing at my collection and the only Tokyopop I own is Still Sick, a random Yuri Espoir, and my childhood KareKano collection. Maybe they just don't get titles I notice. Or are bad at promoting.

tbh, I'm slow on this manga because it's redraw heavy, the bubbles are narrow vertically and the Japanese is extremely colloquial, making it difficult to give it justice.

Plus, people are complaining all the time because there's a guy... :P

I probably won't drop it, but TP may overtake me if they publish whole volumes at a time, so if people are interested, they buy it from them. Dunno about the quality of their releases though.

I do love this series and it's very funny to see this guy cry his eyes out because he watched a movie about a one-sided love and all it can remind him off is the exact relationship he has with Hibiki. I'm not normally meanspirited but lol, lmao even. Shoulda know better my guy.

I think the best part is that if the guy gets into another guy the lesbian fujoshis will piss and shit themselves and go insane etc. He's so pathetic lmaooo

Could we just not do this kind of shit?

It's tough to be around someone who values and likes you.

This line hit me like a truck to the face, and perfectly captures Aikawa as a character. Good lord.

Thanks a lot for the translation!! This manga seriously deserves to get a lot more attention than it currently is, at least among the English-speaking audience (it appears to be doing quite well in Japan, thankfully).

The official release just came out and vol 1 finishes with chapter 13. There’s a nice color front and back page and about 30 pages of extra content at the end. I’ve not read through it yet.

For everyone's information, I'm dropping the scanlation of this manga, for various reasons:

• This is redraw heavy, with floating text over art everywhere, so it takes me days just to redraw a chapter.
• This has been licensed and the 1st volume is already out, so there's little point in continuing
• This is actually not easy to give the translation justice, because the characters are speaking a really colloquial/slangy Japanese.
• And last but not least, people just couldn't get into this manga because the co-MC kissed a guy.

So, if you want to read it, just buy Tokyo Pop's release.

Thanks for the effort and for trying to bring this popular series to people, regardless of how it was received here. Guess I'll lurk around the official release even more, though those are behind, behind.
