Just wondering... how many of you plan to repurchase the manga now that Dark Horse is going to redo all of the volumes in the original Japanese format (Right to left instead of "Americanized").

I know I'm gonna buy them all again...

Anyone know what kinda schedule they'll use for the re-release???

Well, out of curiosity why is it worth re buying the manga ^-^? If you already have it and know the story, is it not enough ^-^? However I will probably get it from the library ^-^

REALLY!? THEYRE GONNA RE-RELEASE A RIGHT TO LEFT FORMAT?
yes! me buy it me buy it!
Thanks for the info KeiichiK1....errrr......i think i'll stick to calling u Larry! :bg:

Library? You can Manga from your local Library?

The Envious um, err Eccentric Elf

Yes, if you buy the "Sora Unchained" TPB, at the very end, they discuss how they're cancelling the comic book and only releasing TPBs from now on. Furthermore, they tell you that starting with Volume 21, the series will be released right to left, and that they will be going back and rereleasing Volumes 1-20 in right to left format.

I'm definitely going to repurchase them. I prefer reading manga that way, and once you have a little practice in it, it becomes second nature.

Right to left? I hate it like that. I'm too used to left to right. I find it hard reading a comic/manga like that......

Larry, that is excellent news, i prefer reading my manga in the right to left format, although when its Ah! My Goddess i dont really mind as long as i get the manga!
Arigatou Larry for the info!
im definitely going to purchase the re-released volumes when they come out along with the new volumes.

Well, for those of us who are going to purchase them again, I'd like to offer a suggestion...

Donate them!

Find someone who has never got into anime and give them to that person.

Donate them to your local library.

Find a cute member of the opposite sex (or same sex if that's your preference)), walk up to them and say "Here, I want to share a great story with you."

After all...

that s a good kind idea Larry! but im a bit split on the idea! i just love Belldandy too much to give them away! but i also like the idea of giving to an attractive girl (especially if that girl is like Belldandy!)

although im the type of person that treasures all the things that have provided me joy and have served me well, which also goes back to the point that Keiichi himself treasures all his things even if theyre outdated etc.
i have warm feelings attached to them and dont want to abandon them.

it dosen't take much fetting used to read manga in the "traditinal" format

I have gotten to the point were American or Jap style I just start reading and don't even notive if I am doing one way or another

an OMG addiction will do that to you :heh:

You should really worry when you start reading an "Americanized" manga, and keep getting thrown off because you're used to reading manga right to left. This happens to me a lot.

i can switch from one style to the other with no trouble at all, i read all of the Love Hina manga in right to left format and my Oh My Goddess! mangas are in left to right. maybe it has something to do with me being a bit ambidextrous! LOL

Wow, I'd heard the rumor that it was being re-released that way, and I'm glad to hear it's true! I thought that might be why the others are listed as "out of print" on amazon.com. I was undecided about buying the manga before, but I think I will once it's re-released. ^_^

hopefully when they release the re-released volumes they will number them this time!

I heard they were going to... and that they were actually going to break them up so that each volume has exactly the same stories as the Japanese volumes.

and Keiichi-K1... you're really lucky to be ambidextrous. I'd give my left arm to be ambidexterous! (That is a joke... think about it)
