@Oliver - Where did you hear that about JoJo? I was wondering what was going on considering they have about 3 books left.

@Oliver- Thanks! I’m not up on Jojo’s release history here, but I seem to recall it wasn’t actually cancelled, but that only a certain number of volumes were actually licensed. I could be wrong about that, though.

@Danielle- I am a terrible hoarder, and though I own Tramps Like Us and several things by Yugi Yamada, I haven’t read them, despite hearing fabulous things about each. That, of course, does not prevent me from hoping more things by them will be licensed!

Great list! I always want to see more classic shojo.

Besides more Yamada Yugi (seriously, any Yamada Yugi makes me happy), I really would like “Kiss and Never Cry” Yayoi Ogawa (author of TP’s “Tramps Like Us”).

I am digging this wish list! Everybody seems to be talking about Rose of Versailles. I am also curious about JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, but it seems to be the only SJ title cancelled.

Ooh, Otherworld Barbara looks fabulous, and it’s only 4 volumes, too. Maybe that’ll induce someone to take a chance! Honestly, I’d love anything from Hagio.

Always a favorite topic, and a nifty list of requests. I'd add Daisuke Igarashi's Witches and Moto Hagio's Otherworld Barbara.
