Welcome to the Manga Collected Editions thread! I've wanted to make this for a while and I'd love to help anyone get hooked on manga. I don't really have much to else say but I will try my best to keep this thread going and update it with more info. Any and all criticism is welcome (I really could use the help and advice). I will be post about new licenses as they come (with extra links about each series). I also will try to add the Japanese Publishers each Publisher is able to license from (eventually I want to add the individual magazines each Publisher tends to License from).
Rules:
1. Discussion of ongoing series: As this is a Collected Edition thread, try to keep detailed discussion of the weekly & monthly releases of series to a minimum. The New Manga/Anime Lounge Thread (http://community.comicbookresources....a-Anime-Lounge) would be a better place for that.
Licensed Manga
Licensed Series List http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/ency...d=1&sort=title. This list isn't up to date, but it's the best I could find.
If you don't find a series listed there check baka-updates (http://mangaupdates.com). (Google the name of the series + baka updates and the series listing should be the first link you see).
