|    Lycanthrope Leo: will the rest of the ma    |

      From: hairball-"@eskimo.com              Manga musings on a Sunday afternoon...               A few years back, I was hunting for any info regarding further volumes of       Lycanthrope Leo (only one volume published by Viz), since the story was       obviously ongoing and, to me at least, an intriguing twist on the shapeshifter       myth/legend. Someone from Viz replied that the company decided not to continue       translation/publication of the rest of the manga due to it's extreme violence       and gore--consensus was it didn't sell well at the time.               Well, we've currently got Berserk, with its own hyper-violence and gore to the       max, doing quite well in sales through Dark Horse. So, I'm wondering, even       though it's an older manga (although this hasn't been a sticking point with       other titles), if Leo has a chance at being published in its entirety in the       US.        I personally can't think of a manga with such an original take on       lycanthropy,       and I'm very interested in seeing how Leo's personal journey progresses through       the series.               Thoughts? News? Info? Any and all appreciated.                     Purrs --       --        /\ /\ | "There are many intelligent species        ^o o^ D.K. "Cat" Kraft | in the universe.
