You can buy bootleg volumes of Basara on ebay for a somewhat affordable price.

i suppose that's true................however for now i think i'm okay with the random volumes i have. i read it fully on the viz app before striking some good deals on a handful of the volumes secondhand.

i'm really hoping that the announcement of the red river 3-in-1 releases is indicative of viz looking at their older, unattainable shojo titles for reprints, especially since so many people were clamoring for basara (and others) when shojobeat asked about reprint requests. there's certainly a demand for these older titles...but i think the potential for a basara reprint hinges heavily on how well red river performs. i'll definitely be picking it up though 👀

it really is amazing just how highly sought after a lot of the series from viz's original shojo imprint are though...like, even though basara is certainly the most expensive for a full set, red river, please save my earth, and from far away aren't much more affordable. it's really interesting, because as far as i know, shonen series from that era don't really suffer from the same issue. i can only assume it's because 1. shojo series had shorter print runs to begin with, thus causing a limited supply and 2. shojo readers are just really passionate about the series they want to collect.

wow so sorry this turned into a bit of a rant 🫣 i could honestly talk for hours about manga if given the chance. anyway read basara, it's a masterpiece 👍

#basara #manga #asks #answered #i'm still reeling from all the good announcements we got from viz recently tbh.#i hope someday we get 7 seeds over here...finish off the big hitters from yumi tamura #i don't expect viz to pick it up though. maybe seven seas #seven seas for 7 seeds ......would be pretty cool #as long as it's not kodansha. 🧍#wow i'm still talking. so sorry 😨

hi brickme! Not sure if you've mentioned this elsewhere before, but what if any constructive criticism do you have of shojobeat? You're very knowledgeable and it's be interesting to see your perspective/points !

(Personally I think the variety of licenses, color pages thing and extras in volumes is huge for me - not sure if they have anything to do with this last pt tho)

but what about yourself?

sorry if you've talked about this before!

Hello! Sorry this reply is coming so late, I suspect you might have totally forgotten you even sent it... I'm looking through my inbox for the first time in a while trying to reply to anything that looks reply-able (in the sense that I have enough brain power to process a semi-coherent answer).

My criticism of Shojo Beat is two-fold: my general criticism of Viz extending to Shojo Beat, and a more petty dislike for how Shojo Beat has communicated to its fans in the past, chiefly here on tumblr and on twitter.

While I respect Viz for a lot of things, and will stand by my opinion that it is the best publisher of manga in existence in the US, I also habor a lot of ill will towards how... limited its licinsing is. I'm pretty sure I've complained about this before, but basically they could do so much for manga publishing but they choose not to. Just off the top of my head, prominent and historically important shojo artists that Shojo Beat/Viz could license easily: Ichijo Yukari. Yamagishi Ryoko. Oshima Yumiko. Yamato Waki. Ikeda Riyoko. Kuramochi Fusako. Ikuemi Ryo. Tsumugi Taku. Mizuno Hideko. Yashiro Masako. Maki Miyako. And an endless list of shojo artists who are important to the history of the manga medium. Many of these artists might not turn a profit in English, granted, but I genuinely believe that publishers have a social obligation to make historically and culturally significant works of art available for the public. I think Viz/Shojo Beat fail in this obligation utterly.

Their social media was (is? I don't look at it anymore) so utterly condescending and snotty towards fans, omg? This is related to the above point, but when fans request especially older and more obscure titles the only response they give is a snotty "well then maybe you should spend money on what we already publish, if it makes money we might consider publishing more like it~" and I'm like true, we are living in a capitalist society, but that answer is basically bullshit because Shojo Beat has never shown any indication of being interested in publishing anything that falls outside of its very, very narrow niche. So if I buy all volumes of Vampire Knight you'll publish Tokimeki Tonight? lol fat chance, I do not believe that for a single minute. So their social media honestly pisses me off!

FIRST POST IN A MILLION YEARS! What are we gonna talk about? MANGA!!! The ones you see here are about half of what I've been reading lately. I read 26 BOOKS in January! Wait...say that again? Yes, 26! That's a new record for me -I never read this much in a month, let alone in the first month of the year. . Rapidfire review! I started some new: 'Wandance' (4🌟, excellent start!), 'Shonen Note' (4🌟, almost felt literary), 'Ghost Reaper Girl' (2🌟, not really my genre), 'Romantic Killer' (3🌟, kinda funny but not for me), 'Ima Koi: Now I'm in Love' (4.5🌟, I can't wait for more it's adorable), 'A Sign of Affection' (4.5🌟, this is a gem and everyone should read it). And continued where I left off: 'Queen's Quality' (4🌟, I need more...), 'Cat + Gamer' (5🌟, this is everything to my cat parent persona). Hubby is all about 'Blood on the Tracks'; so, that's been his mainstay this past month. . Trying to find all the manga series that I've been putting off starting and/or continuing on the basis of "not in the mood". Well, paint me the color Otaku! I've also finished the latest seasons of 'Attack on Titan' (the lack of sense with Part 3.1 and 3.2 is strong with me), and 'Demon Slayer'. 'Bibliophile Princess' is a nice shoujo change-up:) Binged a few more, but forgot what they were called lol. . I'm not sure if I'm burnt out yet (probably am); but, I've got a post in the works for later because I've reached milestone status in my life as a librarian in my personal life (I'm being vague on purpose). I'm excited and terrified since I know I'm a perfectionist about these things. . Thank you for reading! . #books #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #read #reading #readingislife #ilovereading #bookworm #bibliophile #dropeverythingandread #whatareyoureading #otaku #manga #readmanga #moremanga #mangaseries #mangaislife #otakulife #otakulibrarian #mangalibrarian #librarybooks #darkhorsemanga #kodansha #shojobeat #shojomanga #vizmedia https://www.instagram.com/p/CoVVhPLPDe4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

☆☆ NEW SERIES ANNOUNCEMENT ☆☆

Otaku Vampire’s Love Bite

Story and Art by Julietta Suzuki

Some vampires live to feast on the blood of their victims. Others just want to score super limited edition anime merch!

Hina Arukado is a modern vampire who drinks blood from bags instead of humans. But she’s also a complete shut-in who hasn’t left the house in 30 years. In an effort to reach her, Hana’s worried dad does something that changes her life—he gives her the complete box set of the Vampire Cross anime series! Hina is instantly obsessed with everything about the show, especially the character Mao. But it’s hard to fan as hard as she wants from her bedroom in Romania, so now Hina is out of the house and off to Japan to live her otaku dream!

Japan is otaku heaven for Hina, and she’s so busy collecting as much merch as her new apartment can hold that she almost doesn’t feel bad about missing out on the special menus at Vampire Cross cafes. If only she had a human friend who could eat all the themed food for her! But connecting with humans isn’t easy until Hina literally bumps into her neighbor Kyuta, a prickly boy who looks just like Mao. Having her best friend live next door will be so convenient! If she can just convince him to actually be friends...

Coming in October

While looking through my old manga I discovered that Shojo Beat has some of their manga in pink. For anyone who may want to read the material in pink without relying on edits like mine, this is a good place to look! I hope you all enjoy this lovely day!

Love Me, Love Me Not

Yuna & Akari are complete opposites & have very different opinions when it comes to falling in love. Even though they have different personalities they become friends. Yuna becomes attracted to Rio, who is Akari’s brother & Akari sparks a connection with Kazuomi, who is Yuna’s best friend.

Yuna Ichihara: A bit shy, but has a positive attitude & hopes to have a love like shojo manga.

Akari Yamamoto: Headstrong, down-to-earth & has a realistic view on love.

Rio Yamamoto: Goes with the flow of things, the popular boy in school & wants to date a pretty face.

Kazuomi Inui: Outgoing & friendly, is not shy to speak his mind.

Love Me, Love Me Not will be available March 3rd. Make sure to check out @vizmediaofficial to read a preview of vol. 1 & for more info @officialshojobeat
