Manga Worth Reading

Via Brigid comes news that a common fan complaint has been addressed: ADV Manga has updated their website to include their current publications.

Unfortunately, it demonstrates that to them, manga appears to be only a product, and mostly an afterthought. The site is clearly set up for DVDs, with each book given a Details tab that lists “manga” as a category under “DVD Specifications”. The only information available for those I sampled was which books are in stock to purchase.

That’s how I noticed that their newest, hottest title, Yotsuba&! Book 4, is listed as sold out already.
