I will always trust the taste of the Japanese when it comes to manga. The Japanese knows what makes an amazing series. Do you not realize that manga originated in Japan, and that the Japanese have had just as long to be critical of their own manga? One Piece is the best selling manga series constantly, month by month, year by year for a VERY GOOD REASON. This has got to be the most ignorant statement on Japanese manga taste I have ever heard. Why? Begin rewrite in 2014.And every time a new One Piece volume outsells everything else by millions I will lose repect for Japan's taste.

Via British Paintings “Aunties’s Best Bonnet” Beatrice Offor Why can't I buy one? Why!!!! I want it so bad. I'd certainly be open to the possibility, although nervous that nothing could equal what a wonderful experience I had with the Parasol Protectorate adaptations. But recently the manga sold into translation to both France and Germany.ģ.What about a manga of The Finishing School Books? However, Japanese publishers remain uninterested in the manga. They found REM, my amazing artist, and ta-da! I feel super lucky, it's rare for any author to get a graphic novel adaptation unless they are crazy popular like George R.R. Was I ever! After Soulless did well, we pinged him to see if they were still interested in a manga adaptation and they were. He hinted if I were ever interested in a graphic novel of my work. I love manga so I got excited over his books. The head publisher of Yen and I met at BEA in 2009 and he complemented Soulless. It's done by Yen, one of a few American-based manga houses (hence the reason the book is read from left to right). But I don't know for certain.īut, actually, the manga has nothing to do with my Japanese translations. My publishing house there is quick to do the translations and they were one of the first to buy the new series: both good signs. Is the series terribly popular in Japan? (via LadyAvalon in my Reddit AMA) I'm curious about how the manga of Soulless came to be. I'm happy with the decision, but since the manga creation process has been nothing but fun for me, I am a little sad to see that aspect end.Ģ. I think the first three hold as a trilogy. Lastly, frankly, it was a little odd to think about how to manga-up a inconvenienced Alexia for Heartless. Plus, she included a special bonus ending. REM is a little burnt out on the project, it's been years of her drawing my characters, and I imagine she wants to draw her own (or something else, or nothing at all) for a while! I understand her feelings entirely and think Blameless makes a good ending for the series. Is this the last installment of the Manga series? Madame Lefoux and Alexia cabinet card from Soulless Vol. Perhaps it's the happy ending, and an extra little dose of happiness that came directly from REM's imagination and which will satisfy many fans in ways I never did. Perhaps it's the adventure format with dashing across Europe giving REM ample opportunity to exercise her mad landscape and steampunk skills. Perhaps it's because Madame Lefoux gets so much screen time.
