Awesome, with all the hentai and yaoi we have to work on the Tezuka titles are a nice change of pace that everyone in the office likes. Right now I'm doing some work on Captain Ken and can't wait for it to be complete.

ROBOT was quite a bit before my time at the company but it was pretty much one of the reasons Wani hates us so I hear. Funny enough last week because we a have a number of extra copies of the first volume of ROBOT my boss gave me a copy and turns out it was signed by one of the artists.

>>112878434
I wish there was some kind of kickstarter for reprints/rescues where people could put in orders. Except for books rather than dollars.

The first goal would be getting the thing to print. Stretch goals would reduce the price of everyone's items down towards the marginal cost rather than adding goodies.

And yeah, anyone getting to order any number of copies, being open to both retailers and end customers.
>>
>>112878252
>Captain Ken
Looking forward to that one, it's the first Tezuka I've bought with no prior knowledge of it at all. Still waiting on The Crater from another Kickstarter, hope the biggest issue is just lots of delays.

Haven't bought any of the digital titles or the hentai yet, neither plunge is one I'm quite up to, though I do enjoy many of the series you have available.
There's no chance of Sweet Blue Flowers, Kimagure, or King of Extreme Cooking going physical, is there?

Sounds like an interesting idea, could try and talk with some coworkers about it. Bit ambitious though.

>>112878821
Yeah unfortunately there is no chance of our DMG titles becoming print as quoted from my boss.

But yeah prices are rather steep being a bit of an understatement in my opinion for the digital titles. The hentai we have been coming out with is some nice stuff, lots of cowtits in our catalog but we have started venturing into more unique genres. Some legal choices that have been made I disagree with but upper management makes their own decisions.

Well, yeah. I don't expect it to work without a rich madman at the helm.

There are plenty of details to fill in, but I see it as some manner of web shop where you put objects into your basket/wishlist/whatnot and you get the items when a production run is feasible. Then there's getting the extra customers who only want to jump in when the reprint gets a greenlight, who will reduce the costs for everyone else, I leave that to someone with ideas.

>flowers of evil
I'm enjoying that one, only two books in so far. Still not sure why the whole style of the covers changes so abruptly, but I assume there's a storyline reason for something so different. I hope there is at least, I get annoyed when a publisher changes the spine design halfway through by changing imprints - I think they do it on purpose.

Yeah bit unfortunate, I would like to see a lot of these titles in print but contractually we will only have digital rights for them and even then the rights aren't permanent. But it is nice that we are able get these title out at all.

>I like your president.
Yeah is a pretty nice old man who doesn't have much interest in the yaoi or hentai but with the oldies like Tezuka titles.

>>112879379
There quite a lot of pressure from those who want our yaoi reprinted. Every con or event where I am selling I always get the same questions about reprints and stories of how older out of print volumes are going for like $300 a book on ebay.

I do like the idea personally, it would be great as I am sure those that are willing to drop a ton of money on an old book could drop a similar to help a greater number of people get that same volume. An issue I do see is that a lot of manga publishers are contracting/losing money and aiming for newer titles rather than looking at the past and thinking about reprints.

Its been fun /a/nons, got to go to bed for work in the morning. Will check back later.

At least you're getting something.

Here 4koma have never been published, comedy/sol is often ignored because doesn't sell enough while we keep getting dozens of generic battle shounen every month that people buy.

What's the point of having one of the biggest localized manga industry around when the variety is absimal and just keeps churning out more of the same?

It's fault of the shit taste of most of readers for the most part, but damnit publishers never even tried to propose something different.

What is the price range for shipping manga in japanese?
>>
>>112888551
250-300 yen per tank for SAL. A bit less by sea, a bit more by EMS.
>>
>>112888542
English release is omnibus format so it has less volumes but the same content

>>112888551

This seems like the right thread so I need to ask something. I'm too dumb/drunk to make my own thread.

I ordered some things from j-list for the first time and payed for premium shipping. According to the order it should be 5-6 days business. It's been five days business and according to the tracker it hasn't even fucking left Japan.

Is the tracking incorrect or is it really going to take that long? I want my fucking games and manga dammit.
>>
>>112889611
Do you use japan's or your nation's postal service's tracker?

Unless it's EMS (your parcel's ID starts with EM or somesuch) or other fast service (e,g, DHL), it can take eternities.

I'm impressed with the number of people who have original Japanese language volumes in their collection but how many of you can actually read Japanese? Do you buy them to read? to collect? to support the author/series? Or all three. I have the entire original release of Sailor Moon and Cardcapor Sakura in Japanese but only have them to collect since I can't read them.

As soon as I own my own place and I'm earning a decent amount, I'm going to buy one of those beds with a sliding drawer underneath and store mango in it.

True, and they may take much better care of my order than the thug mail carriers here in the states. I just wish I knew where it was and what's going on. I've sent things internationally but almost never had things sent to me.

Everything usually goes very smoothly when sent to Japan. Not so much in other countries.
>>
>>112889970
I usually buy Japanese manga if it's a series I really like that won't have an english release, if it's really long I opt to buy artbooks for it instead

I found it even better than the anime in some parts, namely cutting superfluous stuff and exposing better some key points of the plot (like how the fuck Adam appeared on Gendo's hand).
Plot-wise, follows the TV serie up to ep 24, the EoE up to Sea of Life scene, then gose on it's own (not yet completed) ending.

Really? I don't think I've paid more than AUD$14 for a paperback in months. Yotsuba in about $12 a volume. Hell the super nice hardcovers of Otoyomegatari are $15~ brand new.

I can't really say "You're missing out", because Italian manga publishing have some big faults, but at least when comes down to sheer amount of volumes/series the only competing market among western countries is France (which is slightly better for /a/ - and my - standards due to which series are published).

Obviously there are ups and downs and you have to be wary of what you're doing, but overall is a quite good.

I used to browse #lurk and all that shit on Rizon ages ago. Makes me feel old remembering it.

I could always use an android app to rip batoto again but then I'd have to xfer to my pc to read it in big portrait screen glory.

Also Batoto doesn't allow upload of most of the lewd stuff so I have to obtain that from scanslator sites and shit.

How very hispanic of you.

Fyi you can lay down the last few on the end or a small series so they act as a stopper to hold the rest of the stack up. For example you could lay the Hidmari's down side ways.

On another note I own an original print copy of the US hidamari vol4 or whichever one it was that cost like $90 for awhile because it was so rare. Too bad they reprinted it, though its good for the bros that missed out on it.

I thought so. It's basically the game but with some other random twists. It introduces a new random villain, but I mainly got it because you get to see Haseo, Endrance and Atoli in their real life/outside game selves. I got mine for $4 each, so it was worth it for me.

As much as knowing they could have saved the franchise with a reprint of some early volume.

I got 1-3 and 5-14 of Ichigo 100% for cheap on a blowout sale. I reckon every additional v4 could have created 5-10 additional sales.
