Amazon, you dirty, dirty tease.

So, as anyone who visits the Culture section of the City of Heroes/Villains forums know, I am a *HUGE* fan of the manga Chi's Sweet Home, about a kitten that gets lost from it's mother and adopted by the Yamada family. It's sort of like Yotsuba&!, only with an adorable kitten getting into all sorts of adorable kitten mischief.

Anyways, thanks to Greenykins, I was informed that the Manga is finally getting a US translation (And not one of those fan translations, but an actual license deal). The catch: Both Amazon and Right Stuff Anime Superstore list the publisher as being Vetical, however, Other sources report a statement from the president of Vertical that they do no in fact have the license. Plus, I'm not seeing any listing of it on their websites.

So, the billion dollar question is, are they getting it or are they not? At this point, we may just have to wait until June to find out (I hope not. I'm already frothing at the mouth in anticipation for my Chi goodness). In the meantime, I want one of these so bad.

Side note: When the hell is someone going to wise up and get the license for Liar Game and Team Medical Dragon?

    Interesting thing, just a week before that thread Right Stuf was having a %33 off sale for products from Vertical.
