Storytime when?
Is there a good complete anime adaptation of this?
About fucking time
Damn, that's a damn nice surprise! Sign me up for some of those digital releases.
hold on is this a rerelease of the original manga?
FINALLY!
anime? i sleep
manga rerelease? real shit
Viz translations aren't great but honestly this manga is near and dear to my heart as the most based shounen of all time so I'm probably gonna actually buy official stuff for once. Also will probably be good to replace my downloads of scanlations that jumped around being shitty ms paint scanlations at two and a half dpi, ones that were randomly taken from the French release, etc
Yes
Shame about how far away the release date is.
I thought it was licensed long ago? What took so long?
HOLY FUCK YES
License probably expired
did the old dark horse books ever make it all the way through the manga?
I hope they license City Hunter and Rokudenashi too.
This is actually pretty cool.
They're gonna pick this back up r-right?
Don't feed the Hagiwara otherwise he will never ever continue
Praying from the bottom of my heart they pick up City Hunter next.
I don't think Dark Horse ever had Hokuto no Ken. Viz published a few volumes in the past and there were some full color releases by Raijin Comics, but neither of them got that far.
this is worth a real sticky
just get the german/french tanks
Hopefully hardcover with the original color intros restored (not the full color digital ones)
the five "Legend" Oav covers the good first half of the manga
Agreed. City Hunter and various other manga from shonen jump's golden age deserve some more recognition.
Good, hopefully someone picks up Ashita no Joe next
I'm surprised to learn that Hokuto no Ken hasn't had a complete English release up untill now even though it's such a popular franchise.
why
it's like 30 years old
It's never a bad time to reintroduce people to good comics.
Probably by Kodansha or Seven Seas
No.5 by taiyo matsumoto also got licensed(re-licensed i guess) for anyone that cares. A junji ito title as well but I've never heard of it.
How is that an argument?
Not until some sort of reboot and/chiba tetsuya passes away
why do they still publish don quixote? it's 400 years old
It's WSJ so does that mean it's going to be censored?
Is it even completely available in german?
Are foreign publishers finally getting redpilled on good manga?
