About damn time for Kurosagi. I emailed them last year to ask if they were going to release more. They said they would but gave no time table.
I can't wait to continue the series.

I've been a little curious about Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service. It seems to be one of those titles with a loyal band of idiots that cheers loudly and enthusiastically, but can't seem to get enough other people to listen. (I've been one of those idiots from time to time) Then again, maybe they did this time. I should investigate more closely, although having a set of omnibuses, then a dribble of single volumes would be a little ungainly.
Now, if only we could drum the band up for the rest of Reiko the Zombie Shop. Ah-hah, I kid myself.
I have uncertain feelings toward Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt. It was sort of fun and I got a rise (oh, dubious choice of word) out of Panty, but outside of my tastes in a lot of ways. Yet, a single volume might be worth the risk.

Kurosagi is great. I've been trying to get my hands on this one out of print volume for awhile now. I think it's five? Anyway, glad that DH is continuing, even though they are probably losing money on it.

Woohoo! More Kurosagi! It's the right amount of twistedness, horror, and black humor. Luckily, most of the stories are self-contained. It's an easier pill to swallow when you have to wait with uncertainty for the next volume. There's some continuation and an ongoing backstory with Karatsu, but it's mostly standalone.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! Volume 13 left us with such a cliff hanger. This series is easily in my top ten. Keep them coming Dark Horse! You rock!!!!

I take whatever good news from Dark Horse I can get. Kurosagi was probably the best (except for maybe Eden) of the manga titles they had on hiatus. Can't wait for volume 14! (And please do omnibus' for your other stalled series!!)

If only they'd resume Reiko the Zombie Shop. I love that manga.

Woohoo! I was just talking about Kurosagi on Twitter today. Such a great series, but so obscure that I haven't even been able to find fan translations. It is one of the few titles I collect, and I appreciate every volume I get (although I do wish we were closer to volume 19. When did we fall so far behind?)
I'm guessing that all that Avatar the Last Airbender comic money, which I also throw at them, has made them a little generous. It's nice to have a comic release that consistently gets on The New York Times graphic novel best seller list, isn't it?

Can't wait for the Kon art book. Recently got to read his early manga, "Tropic of the Sea," and it absolutely blew me away.

hopefully the 3-in-1's will be better quality than the norm, something along the lines of vizbigs would be good

While id have preferred Eden they deserve credit for trying to finish any of their stalled titles.

When I was on Jamie "Panty Anarchy" Marchi's FB page Sun., a guy said that the 1st time he discovered her voice talent was through the anime version of Dark Horse's Witchblade.
I told that the person that at Phoenix Comic Con, a Dark Horse booth rep told me said that among their best-selling manga is Oh! My Goddess (the TV versions are now owned by Funimation). If I recall correctly, I think he said that the series is actually their best-selling title ever.
