In case any publisher by the off chance might actually be reading this, please pick this series up. It's total gold.
Tokyopop just announced it licensed it.
Awesome!
Any here I though Tokyopop was defunct.
Nah they came back from the dead last year.
I'm not sure I'm happy about this. I mean I never had horrible experiences with the old Tokyopop and I have not checked any of their new whiff so I can't say anything about the quality, it's just that just st hearing about other people's horror stories about tokyopop I'm a little saddened such a gem was picked up by them. Hopefully they do it justice.
As someone who has bought their other BL licenses, I can say that the quality is superb, at the same level as Shojo beat but some actually have color pages.
I give Tokyopop the benefit of a doubt, although they are on two realeases a month like SuBLime. Either way, this is coming in print, that's better than nothing! xD
I'd honestly be more concerned if June picked it up, considering they drop a lot, stall a lot, and are only releasing digital now'n days
Cool. Glad to hear good news. Like I said I personally have no issues w/ the old Tokyopop, it's just that I always hear about all the disolutioned people and it makes me nervous. Sounds like they got their sh*t together this time around :)
is it translated in English?
Translated? They literally announced they licensed the series 2 weeks ago. At NYCC.
...so I’m sure you’ll see volume 1 soon.
can we buy it as pdf?/online
All Out!! got licensed so the scanlators might have dropped this series. As of this post, there are 10 official English volumes out. It's only being released digitally so you won't find it in your local bookstore.
I haven't gotten really far with this story yet (still in Act I) so after reading the comments I'm just wondering if you get the impression that Terajima is trying to drag the story out so that's why he keeps ignoring Sawarmura and holding him back as well as currently ignoring the Seidou team. Frankly, I haven't come across a sports manga like this where the mangaka treats the MC so bad by making him fail at every turn and inexplicably overshadowing him with another character that the reading audience is confused.
I dont think that terajima is trying to drag the story or something, because I've read somewhere, terajima didn't plan for act 2 at all. He wanted to end this manga by letting furuya get away with ace number... But due to massive fanbase, he had to draw act 2 and yet still able to bully sawamura..
On the positive side Karusano accomplished all of their main goals: 1) they beat all of the teams at finals and went to nationals, 2) they did the big dumpster battle with Nekoma and won.
After being with the team through this incredible journey (as a reader) I only wish Haikyuu could have ended on an upbeat note (like Kuroko no Basuke) rather than this bittersweet thing.
I also wish Furudate would have left Hinata on the court (or at least the sideline) until the end. The team started the year together, trained together, and battled other teams together. So I feel they should have ended their run together. [And Yachi should have been their too].
Do you think it's the end of the manga ? I'm pretty sure that is the end of their first national tournament, maybe their first year but certainly not the end of the manga. Hinata and kageyama are not at their best here. It's more natural and logic to see them lost here. New challenges and developpements are coming.
I don't know what Furudate is planning. Hopefully the series will continue and eventually end on a happy note. And hopefully the school will finally pony-up* and pay Keishin Ukai for all of the hard work he's done and will be doing for the team.
[*To pony-up - an expression that means to pay what you owe or settle your debt]
Yeah ! Ukai deserves to be paid !
