| According to Manga Comics Manga, it was announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2013 that Doraemon will soon be published in English for the first time. The title will start coming out fall 2013 for the Amazon Kindle. Currently print publication isn't being looked into. The volumes will be full color. Doraemon is a well-know iconic children's manga in Japan. It is about a robot cat from the future who can pull anything from his pocket. He travels back in time to help a young boy named Nobita Nobi. The manga ran from 1969 to 1996 and was written and created by the duo known as F. Fujio Fujiko. Doraemon has also had three anime TV series adaptations, including one that ran from 1979 to 2005. There have also been a number of feature films based on the series. Source: Manga Comics Manga |

| It's about damn time. I mean, it's actually pretty surprising that such a famous manga in Japan took this long to be localized. |
 |
| Wait does this mean I'll be able to actually add Doraemon to my collection? Oh god yes! |
| To see how late the English version is compared to other (mainly Asian) countries, check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_non-Japanese_Doraemon_versions Hong Kong got the license to publish it back in 1976 !! (it was the first manga release of Doraemon outside Japan) |

| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |

 |
