ADV Translation Titles Ended Forever ..... ?
Before I start with anime, which I will promise to try again to update later tonight, it is long overdue time to update in regards to the titles that ADV has seemingly dropped forever. This is mostly just a list in no particular order but anyone that reads please let me know if more titles should be on the list.
These are only the ones I can think of off the top of my head too, others have told me more titles that fall or could fall on this list. I am not sure what happened to ADV, some say over exapansion, some say they never took the manga market seriously. I am not sure which I beleive but I hope by bringing attention to these titles others who like these and those not listed will show equal interest in getting this series continued if not by ADV by whoever desires to pick up their licenses.
1. Steel Angel Kurumi - nine volumes released
2. Happy Lesson - one volume released
3. Dream Gold - one volume released a great one that could have easily been a major sleeper hit for ADV had they allowed it to continue. In fact it was one that the second after finishing it I tried to mark down when the next one would be released or grab it if it was already out.
4. R-Squared - one volume released another sleeper hit which would have done a lot for ADV I think had they allowed it to continue. In fact it was one that the second after finishing it I tried to find the next one almost the same day.
5. Desert Coral - three or four volumes released this is one which spoke to me on a level I cannot express to people if they don't understand it themselves, but took what I always have hoped for, the making of a dream world and dream girl, and turned them both real
6. SkyBlade Sword of the Heavans - two volumes released - which had the promise of being a very funny serious
7. The Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok - one or two volumes released
8. Tacits - one or two volumes released by ADV I believe another company has picked up the license for this one.
9. Louie the Rune Soldier - four volumes released with a promised fifth that has never come this was a very funny one a good laugh out loud enjoyable series
10. Aria- three volumes released with rumors Tokyopop has picked up this series along with the series that came before it. visually this is a stunning epic masterpiece of a manga which has a great story and stunning artwork. more then worthy of having the entire series released
11. Jinki Extend - three volumes released with rumors that this series and the one prior to it have been picked up by another company visually this is nicely done too with a great story.
12. Yotsuba&! - three volumes released with the future of this unknown but four volumes out in Japan at least four volumes.
