@Vertical_Ed The Star of Cottonland by Yumiko Ooshima? It's a classic title ♥

@MangaCur
@Vertical_Ed You could always publish "Space Brothers" as companion programming for "Twin Spica."

@Vertical_Ed Or you could just own my soul forever by publishing "Thermae Romae," that time-travel public bath manga.

@MangaCur NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOwwwwww! Sorry but I can't. I'd rather quit the manga industry before licensing that.

@Vertical_Ed "Space Brothers" or "Thermae"? My knowledge of both is limited to thinking they sound cool, so I'm willing to be corrected.

@MangaCur Thermae. Space Brothers is one of the best titles in recent memory.

@MangaCur @Vertical_Ed ha! Sounds like a job for @lastgaspbooks; because *someone* needs to publish bara manga (male/male comix for men) ;-)

@KodanshaBooks
@debaoki @mangacur wait since when is Thermae bara? The guy is married.

@debaoki
@MangaCur @Vertical_Ed ha! No, no -- I thot the bath house manga you were describing was bara. Maybe I have lived in SF too long ;-)

@Comics212 oh it is. but even at its current length it is too expensive for Vertical to license.

@MangaCur i was interested before it became apparent that the series will be at least 20 volumes long. now it's out of my reach & in orbit.

@Vertical_Ed What's wrong with "Thermae?" It's such a prize magnet that I assumed it was great.

@KodanshaBooks
@MangaCur well the prizes it has won are from bookstore clerks, who like to promote the quirky and offbeat.

@MangaCur as someone involved with the MangaTaisho I know that we like to give those type of comics a platform for success.

@KodanshaBooks
@MangaCur which is why a mountain climbing manga and a playing card manga have also won that prize.

@MangaCur i simply find it boring. and after a few volumes it loses its charm

@Vertical_Ed I bought it Thermae, it seems pretty neat. Lack of male nudity, sadly.

@Vertical_Ed if you're gonna put a dick on the cvr you should have at LEAST one on the inside too. C'est la vie. Still, don't hate on it
