The email has been sent. This is the first we heard about this, so hopefully we're not too late! But if we are, that's okay, too, because Takaya-sensei can be hard to translate. Thanks for the heads-up!!

Good luck. I keep my fingers crossed for you :)

[double_dear]

No good, it's already been assigned. Oh well, them's the breaks.

[badtzphoto]

That's too bad! Thank you for letting me know.

Ahahahaha~... yeah, all those resolutions I made about not asking for any new series. SevenSeas was making it easy for me (so far), but I had to sit on my hands when Yen announced Baccano! manga yesterday. And now this...! Well, we'll see what happens.

Good going with your Fangirl Friday posts. It seems like more and more exciting news keeps happening since you started posting these! :D

Good luck, Lys.
This morning, I was wondering what I'd do with this month Fangirl post :) Yen makes it easy. I can't take the credit.
It seems that Yen is doing well with rescuing high profile titles, first Emma and now Fruits Basket.
eta, these fangirl friday posts are very distracting :P

[lyschan]

Distracting, yeah! I've recovered from losing my mind over Yona though, so I doubt much can top that (for me) any time soon :)

Reading your edits-probably "Western audiences" was meant to refer to the western English-speaking market (to differentiate from Twinkle Stars' partial(?) release by that one Singaporean publisher in English, mainly distributed in Asia/Australia?). Not the most accurate wording but oh well.

Yes, "Yona"!!!!!

"Not the most accurate wording but oh well."
Yeah, one of the ANN's post commenter said that "Western" meant differently for different people (not exact quote, just paraphrasing here.) Have a nice weekend.
