I don't think that was the main issue since the "older" sister character is in the first book as well, and that one is still in print. Kinda shame the publisher (Fantagraphics's Eros) is in limbo after Toren Smith passed away, since I think he handled it. They also have (had?) all the Kisaragi Gunma licenses. At least Project-H managed to wrestle away the rights for Yamatogawa's first two tankoubons from another dead publisher.
Anyways, Domin-8 Me is still in print, Bookdepository has it, Rightstuf is restocking it but Amazon doesn't have it atm, the Japanese ones seem out of print though. What turned them off... that pointless rape chapter, the crossdressing chapter, the shota gay sex chapter, the... yeah I think the checklist is fairly long for the 2nd volume.
I remember buying Domin-8 Me and Love Selection in 2011, as part of my first imported English h manga, though Gunma pisses me off.
Seems like he refused time and time again to license his books in Italy.
Yeah. TayuTayu got one panel removed from a page, the one where, in the flashback, the young girl drops her panties to show her genitals. It wasn't anything big, but it still sucks to get something censored, though still better than not getting it all would say someone (or not end up in jail, would say the publisher).
At least they asked for permission to Yamatogawa to remove that panel and he accepted knowing the reason for it. Everything stemmed from some bullshit accusation against Dragonball and its publisher as being pedophile material many years ago, so TayTayu's publisher didn't want to run the risk to end with the same kind of accusation with something that is actually pornographic.
You said Magi will end at chapter 230, right now it's at chapter 217 (?).

A lesson to everyone: always read the details of the lease. Whether you're the person renting or the man-eating monster who is required to get the owner's permission to enter their house.

Haikyo Shoujo 1-4 (END)
Jesus, I must've read enough brilliant shorts recently to last me all of 2014. Actually, I read the first story in this collection back in 2012 before the other three were released. Now that I've finished the rest, they're just as enjoyable, maintaining the uniqueness, excellent art and, er, frequent mental instability that endeared the first one to me. Just goes to show how much I can enjoy shoujo when it's not unremarkable romance rubbish.
On a related note:
Kagen no Tsuki
Gin'iro no Kami no Arisa
Haikyo Shoujo
Kousha no Ura ni wa Tenshi ga Umerarete Iru
Deguchi Zero
There's basically no romance in any of these, except for Kagen no Tsuki, and even then it's handled completely differently from your typical shoujo romance manga.

Funnily enough, this is also something I started reading in 2012, with chapters 4/5 only being released more recently. It's a shoujo supernatural romcom about an 'ugly', timid witch who guards a graveyard, and whose love interests are a lycanthrope and, uh, her undead uncle. Enjoyed it predominantly for the characters and setting, and would definitely keep following it ever resumed again, since there's clearly much of the story still to be told.
This winning streak can't continue. Someone recommend me a shit series to read so I can be brought back down to earth.

Time for me to harass some people for a digital copy... the regular color pages are pretty cool as well, but finding them in good quality is pain. Manager <3

2014 Manga list
So far with me:
Started
Boku Girl
Bambino Secondo
My Abnormalities
Dropped/Lost interest (there are lots more but these I invested more time in)
My Abnormalities
Nisekoi
Aunt Tits
Akame ga Kiru
To Love Ru Darkness
Yamada and the 7 Witches
Masamune no Revenge
Genshiken Season II
Completed
Chimoguri Ringo to Kingyobachi Otoko
Assassination Classroom
Damn Karasuma-sensei is badass even at cops and robbers. Shame Bitch-sensei wasn't a sexy cop but it probably would be too obvious, plus how he caught her was hilarious.

How the fuck is there a stealth symphony fandom when only 3 chapters are out thats still in the "not sure if I like this" phase yet
Simultaneous release with the rest of the world means bigger fanbase?
Not that they matter, the only opinion that matters is Japanese kids who vote in the polls.
Like Iron Knight. Decent series, but Japanese kids hated it so it's dead.
We'll see what they think of Stealth Symphony in about a month.

no she's amazing
Hey, I don't want to get between Manga-GAF and their shota, but even though the whole story is very heartwarming, I can't escape the fact that this is textbook predatory behaviour.

probably.
but I wouldn't mind being the subject of her predatory behaviour
she's adorable
Yup. It's pretty adorable but the romance angle is taking forever
Which is partially fine, I guess, but I'd like something to happen.
Iris Zero 33 - oh god a chapter
That's possibly a darker route than I was expecting for this to go. So she's just ... delusional? Like, she just thinks she sees percentages and everything and she just made it up?
Dear, Only You Don't Know 36 - Speaking of mismatched age pairings, guess we're back to these two. And he goes pretty excessive on shutting her down, poor girl. I guess we're setting up some kind of love polygon between some of these stories.
Kingdom 342-343 - Shin's big goddamn moment this arc #17.

Best manga gets epic. The climax for this arc will be so good.

So, Ten vs. Kyoukai huh.
A brilliant strategist girl that smackdowns a famous tactician on her first battle vs. a beautiful swordswoman who can chop heads easily and gracefully to the point many consider her inhuman.
Shin gets the best girls, I swear.
Of course, Kyoukai all the way :3

Wow, AssClass outsold Bleach. That says quite a lot.
And of course, One Piece domination. The gap between #1 and #2 is astonishing.
*looks at Kochiekame sales* Huh, I thought that series would be a much higher seller. Unless the only people buying it read the series in the 70s and 80s when it started out.

The problem is that one of them isn't there.
So many dead bodies left in their wake...
I wonder if this would actually ever get resolved.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
How does that even work? She just sees random bullshit because the Iris isn't compatible with her Zero-ness?

Wonder if it is just immune to the whole Jump cancelling everything under the sun or something.

Well it was doing it all 2013 so I dont think it wouldnt be able to replicate such performance in 2014.
I believe it is yeah. It'll just end whenever the author wants to stop. The guy still sold like 155 millions copies of it as of 2012 so he's fine.
