YAY YOTSUBA :DDDD

I hope there's more interesting licenses like this throughout NYCC; the others above I don't really care about :/

OMG Yotsuba got relicensed? Awesome, I always wanted to read it in book form now I won't have to worry about it getting discontinued. I'm sure it'll get rereleased/translated as Spiral did when it was discontinued by Tokyopop. Also good news on Spice and Wolf. Didn't the novel get picked up too?

I am so happy about the bandai announcement. I'd been hoping they'd announce at least some of those, so... yes, very happy :D

The Yen Press Yotsuba announcement was good too, will be good to be able to pick up the next volumes. Finally. Its good to see titles rescued from limbo :)

I'm glad Yotsuba got picked up again. I've had that on hold forever.

...even a saint needs a soldier to do the dirty work.

Wow, great news about all of the 00 acquisitions! Never thought I'd be able to see most of those over here. Hopefully I will not be so completely broke by the time they get released. Thanks, economy.

I'm thrilled that even with the economy the way it is, we're still getting a lot of new manga over here. Can't wait for All My Darling Daughters (Fumi Yoshinaga = <3) more Yotsuba&!

Viz's license list is surprisingly obscure. Usually they're the type to get the big, well known stuff but this time it's mostly seinen and jousei. :o

oh, these little earthquakes

I'm liking that list.
Was wondering how long it'd take for Yotsuba&! to get licensed again. Good stuff.

weird how TP didn't licensed any real mangas this time. BD they only said about having Domo-kun in an OEL manga in the future.

And Vertical~ 8D yay. They're getting support from a Japanese company. >w< (p.s.: I really want Terra e.. manga. D:)

It's not manga but Del Rey also announced that they'll be publishing a translation of the Genshiken novel. Hooray for canon fanfiction!

To update that, going by ANN's latest update on the Bandai announcements and the following clarification, the 'main' Gundam 00 manga they licensed should be this one rather than the one you linked above.

The update:
Update 2: Bandai Entertainment told ANN after the convention that it acquired Kōzō Ōmori's Mobile Suit Gundam 00 manga adaptation from Kadokawa Shoten's Kerokero Ace magazine, and not Ōto Taguchi's Mobile Suit Gundam 00 manga from Kodansha's Monthly Magazine Z magazine.

The clarification:
The North American distributor Bandai Entertainment has clarified with ANN after New York Comic Con on Monday that it acquired Kōzō Ōmori's Mobile Suit Gundam 00 manga adaptation from Kadokawa's recently launched Kerokero Ace magazine. It did not acquire Ōto Taguchi's manga of the same name from Kodansha's defunct Monthly Magazine Z magazine.

In the comments on MangaBlog someone else said that, but Brigid says she spoke with Kurt who informed her that they have the license for all the Yotsuba volumes going forward (just not the ones going... back)

Link to the comments (10th and 11th comments, so you'll need to scroll a little bit)
