With the amount of manga that is released in English, it is easy to think that we have access to pretty much everything that Japan has to offer. However, while we have seen the release of many classic manga lately (the release of Rose of Versailles in English is particularly noteworthy), there are still plenty of mangaka whom I’d like to see more of their works released in English.
Speaking of Rose of Versailles, I’d like to see more titles from the Year 24 Group released for English speaking audiences. I’ve mentioned the Year 24 Group before but for those unfamiliar with them, the Year 24 Group are a group of female mangaka who redefined Shojo manga in the 1970s and tackled taboo subjects such as gender and sexuality in their titles. While we have seen titles such as Rose of Versailles, Heart of Thomas, Toward the Terra and more translated, I would love to see their works continue to be released in English.
