Don’t be Suckered
- “Akagami no Shiraiyukihime” by Akizuki Sorata — too long, thoroughly scanlated, and the current scanlator doesn’t stop when series are licensed.
I wish for Ou-sama ni sasagu kusuriyubi, Kurosaki – Kun no linari ni NanteNaranai, Love phanton

I really hope Library Wars’s sequel is licensed. I freaking love it and the MOVIES are seriously one of the best adaptations I’ve ever seen.
I’m so done with Vampire Knight.
I’d love to see a reprint of Hana Yori Dango-though it never will happen because stupid digital 😛
Hedgehog, Hatsu*Haru, Sabaku Harem, and Sumika Sumire are what I hope get licensed.
