Good to finally see some Moto Hagio recognization at last. I wrote my thoughts of appreciation here:

For those of you interested, I also put up a few pages from the They Were Eleven sequel on the old Scans Daily site;

Comment comes a bit late but I’m ecstatic that Wandering Sons is getting published. Hopefully it won’t be discontinued (I’m unfamiliar with the company’s practices) because I’d hate to have an unfinished series sitting on my bookshelf but mostly because it is one of my favourite series.

Very happy the translation is in good hands it makes me confident in my (future) purchase.

Late to reply, but congratulations! I’m so excited that these titles are coming over, and that you’re playing such a large part in it. I feel like I’ve benefited so much already from your work in discovering talent, adapting works for English readers, and writing thought-provoking essays about writing, translation and adaptation. (I am also a huge fan of est em!)

Will you also be attending Comic Con this year? If so, I hope you’ll host or be a part of a panel or Q&A! I’d love to attend.

I had recently borrowed my friend’s nine volumes of “Wandering Son”, his own translations scirbbled around the panels for me, and breezed through them in a weekend. I absolutely cannot wait for this release and glad to see the enthusiasm you have for it too.

And I’m also excited to be introduced to Moto Hagio now.

I am so happy to see Wandering Son picked up for release in the US. Do you have any insight into how frequent the releases are going to be?

Fantastic news!

Why are there no more licensed manga from Comic Beam in America, that’s the question? I understand the logic of the publishers, but what is odd is the shortage of demand. The magazine is a chest of treasures – I am reading Imuri just now, and can’t believe what the rest of the world is missing.

I’m very exited to hear about these releases, I’ve been looking to get into Moto Hagio’s work and I was disappointed to see that what little was available in english was out of print and hard to find it’s great to hear there will soon be more of her manga easily available.
As for Wandering Son, as I’ve followed this title it has become one of my favorite manga and has resonated with me emotionally in a way that few works have.
I am overjoyed to see these excellent works are being released by such a great company and that the translations are in more than capable hands, I look forward to purchasing them.
thanks.

You have made my day! This is such wonderful news. My sister and I still have our copies of Four Shojo Stories that we treasure deeply…I can’t wait to tell her about this upcoming Hagio-sensei collection…thanks, Matt!!
