Viz is finally releasing Ichinose Family
It's a complete mystery as to why this took so long to get out
My guess is they wanted to see Takopi’s anime/english reception would pop off enough for physical release..When it didn’t, they probably opted for digital.

My question is why does Viz license these random unpopular titles instead of old and new successful WSJ series? Like surely Hertz, Beelzebub or Reborn would sell more than Gal x Gal Yuri or the Cinderella isekai one.

To be fair Reborn wasn’t even selling very well in it’s prime, I don’t doubt that it would do decently nowadays but more than gal x gal yuri is a bit of a stretch

The best bet for Reborn or Beelzebub getting an english release would be that forever rumored anime remake coming out for Reborn or Cosmos really popping off

I feel like that at least is somewhat inevitable. It's premise of "Men In Black as a shonen battle manga" is pretty much tailor made for worldwide mass appeal. Plus, as much as Beelzebub is one of my all-time favorite Jump series, he's clearly grown so much as a mangaka with Cosmos. From his art, his storytelling, his handling of tonal versatility. It's just honestly such an incredible series.
From how insane the fights were in the Pied Piper raid arc (as well as how creative it was in general), or how heart-melting the alien mangaka arc was, how the series effortlessly shifts between being wildly intense, heartwarming, heartmelting, and hilarious. It's just a masterpiece and once it gets an anime it's going to be on top of the world.

Companies need to publish more than just battle shounen to have a larger pool of buyers, not even getting into artistic reasons. So yeah, I would rather have Gal x Gal yuri.

All of it. They actually strapped Taco to a chair and extracted his brain (they put it back of course) in order to complete the anime in case his breaks resort in his untimely demise before the manga ends.
From what I have been hearing, although the studio is regarded as good, it has a tight schedule to animate a lot of stuff. So it is a gamble.

I watched a video of a bunch of times Luffy made people mad.

The rest of the Straw Hats are just his parents who are trying to make sure he doesn't put his tongue in a light socket or drink the cleaner from under the sink.

Just got caught up on Roku and Class 2-B. I’m going to need Roku to run for years, thanks. Class 2-B… ehhh… uhhh… it has its moments, we’ll just leave it at that.

I can amend the point but still keep the spirit of it: Witch Watch, Sket Dance, Medaka Box Detective Neuro, Roboco, Gintama, Saiki Kuso are WSJ, but I consider them to be different from battle Shonen and have sizable enough communities that I think they’d sell more than a lot of titles the Viz seems to license.

Some WSS series like Red Blue, Kaisen Wizards, Silver Mountain and Parashoppers ( even though it is battle Shonen) also are more deserving than a lot of series that have been recently licensed in the past few years and have far more potential too. Same thing with why they took a ridiculously long time to license Kingdom; the catchup could’ve been so quicker.

Im not picking on gal in particular, but there are a lot of series that just don’t have big name recognition or communities that are getting physical releases over those that do. It’s the same reason why I’m confused how it takes a year for them to print when a new JP manga comes out (i.e. One Piece 112 is coming out in July 2026 when it came out in Japan July 2025.

The manga industry is also far different than the bubble it was before. I think series like Gin Tama and Reborn could do much better than they previously did

Viz actually did license Gintama but wound up dropping it after volume 23. This was a long time ago though, back in 2006-2011. Was a very different economy for manga. Borders went under that year (major buyer of manga) and manga was still pretty niche in general in 2011.

Yeah it was the big manga bubble of the 00’s; Zatch Bell was another victim of it too. So many series got licensed then that would not have gotten licensed nowadays like Hoshin Engi. It’s why I’m heartbroken all the manga’s I named (alongside Hinomaru Zumo) never got a physical license when Viz was in hard recovery.

Which is why they extracted his brain and uploaded it to a 99kTB hard drive. Nothing to worry about.

lol as if they don't do plenty of that, anything gets licensed today, from the Jump battle shounen to the X obscure smut series no one talks about, if anything there are dozen and dozen of Jump classics that never see the light of day while tons of stuff just a couple of people read gets licensed all the time.

Wait, Beelzebub isn't licensed in America? LMAO!!!

It's pretty funny how here in Brazil both Reborn & Beelzebub were fully published ages ago and Reborn just might get a new edition when the anime is finally announced :grin

Obs: It's not a remake but a sequel.

Ok is confirmed someone in the advertising team hates Nue, it's the freaking 4th week and Nue hasn't got the spotlight yet while Shinobi gets for the 3RD TIME LMAOOOOO!!!

Obs: At least Kinato is getting some promotion 👍
