I can’t name five Manga that I’d like to see, but I can name one: Atsushi Kaneko’s Bambi. Every issue, collected and translated. It’s one of the few Manga series that really yanked my crank.

I’d love to see Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou come out, but I’d also really like any of Nobuyuki Fukumoto’s works too. I do love homely gambling.

I think people would really dig the work of Kazuichi Hanawa. His recent work is being published in French, and it’s absolutely mind-blowing, but he’s been making comics for 30 years, so there’s a whole lot of material to draw from. The only thing that’s been translated into English so far is “Doing Time”, which is great, but not at all representative of his other work, which is a mix of fantasy and horror, heavily influenced by Japanese folk tales. Anyone who reads French should check his stuff out.

-Glass Mask.

-Anything and everything by Moto Hagio. At the very LEAST I’d like Viz to bring A, A’ back into print so I can bully my friends into buying it and stop being paranoid that my copy will get lost or damaged.

-Glass Mask.

-I second the call to bring over Ai Yazawa’s Last Quarter. It’s pretty, and tightly plotted, and only three volumes long, and it’s Ai freakin’ Yazawa.

-Glass Mask.

-Seizon [LifE] I like this salaryman mystery drama. Nearly all the detectives in the mystery manga we bring over seem to be teenagers.

-Glass Mask, Glass Mask, Glass Mask. It is never going to happen, because it is old, and over forty volumes long, and ongoing, but GLASS MASK, DAMMIT. If someone would only license it I will buy each and every one of those forty-plus volumes that you put in front of me.

Wow, good choices all around. I’ll add my voice to the clamor for more Tezuka (especially Princess Knight), Rose of Versailles, Moto Hagio, Usamaru Furuya, GeGeGe No Kitaro, and Pluto (or anything else by Naoki Urasawa). And while I don’t know if I can come up with five suggestions, here are a few:

-Fourteen, by Kazuo Umezu
-More work by Taiyo Matsumoto (has Ping Pong been translated?)
-Other “Magnificent 49er” manga
-Stuff by Go Nagai?
-Vinland Saga, by the creator of Planetes (I’m too lazy to recall his name)
