Manga: Kizuna

I've started re-reading the wonderful manga "Kizuna" by Kazuma Kodaka and it really pains me to see how little attention the US manga publishing companies pay to this wonderful mangaka in general and to "Kizuna" in particular. In Germany, there are already all the volumes that have been published in Japan out. So far, that makes 10 books. And I can proudly say that I own every one of them.

"Kizuna" is one of the most famous manga out there. I think that every yaoi-lover knows who Ran-chan and Enjoji or Kai and Masa are. It's really surprising that the publishing companies are not interested in sharing this wonderful series with their US readers. From what I've found, there are only three or four books out which is a terrible shame, really :( This is a legend and I think it deserves more attention and advertisement.

And so I want to know...

Five volumes are out but they take forever with each one. *SPORKS ON THE UNITED STATES* I've been waiting forever for the next volume to come out. ;-; *wants more Kizuna damnit* Maybe they're taking much care translating them or something... *hopes that's the case*

And favorite couple... Kai and Masa. I really want to see more back story with them. *nodnod*

I like your pool. You make me to search for some Kizuna releated things. I agree with you completly.

You got all volumes already?! I can't even get number 6 to come in anytime soon. US publishers stink! *smites*

*smites you to, for getting to read it all already!* *cries at unfairness*
