You were really gonna make me jealous at 2500. Now I’m only a little jealous. You’ll have to post your link so others can check out your collection.

It would take a lot out from TP, but I don’t think its the books they want to lose. Doesn’t TP make a lot off their Cine-manga? I seem to remember seeing/hearing that somewhere… I’d think the import manga that doesn’t sell will be cut before the moneymakers.

If Disney’s smart, they won’t flip. Kids adapt so quickly to the right-to-left format. My kids only had a problem the first time, but picked it up fast. And flipping just annoys the fans and raises the price. But then again, Disney isn’t too smart…

Eep and whoops! I meant 1500 books in my first comment! 2500…I’d be sleeping on my books! I ended up giving it a go and an addictive couple of hours later I put most of my collection on there, save more for later and some titles I couldn’t find. It’s a great little resource for keeping track of things, especially when it comes to showing curious others.

As for DisneyPress, I’m not really sure what it’s doing right now in terms of licensing properties from overseas. I’m curious if they’re going to go all out, so to speak, and start publishing the cine-mangas they have rights to (along with future licensed manga) instead of Tokyopop. It would take a good sized chunk out of TP’s title list, possibly part of recent restructuring cutbacks?.

Also makes me curious about if Disney will print the manga they do have confirmed now (Disney Fairies, Kingdom Hearts) as original format or flipped.

I got all of my in in one evening. They make it pretty easy. Once you find the title, you just use the mulitple tool and just click away! You can also add full sets (when they have them), but they count as on unit and may not be an accurate book count.

I keep waiting to get a cancellation notice for Fairies. I’ve been wondering about that Disney Press too. What I really wonder about though, is that Disney is a US company with US properties that are licensed to Japan and then we are licensing back. Why doesn’t Disney just publish new titles here?

Neat website, I may check it out! It’d be great to have an online resource, especially an organized one, of what I own for referrance purposes. Though finding and adding almost 2500 manga titles seems a tad daunting for me!

I hope those Disney Fairies books come out, I had them pre-ordered but haven’t recieved any notice of them not coming out (though as you said the first still isn’t available). With DisneyPress having the rights and publication prep for a lot of the remaining Kingdom Hearts manga, it wouldn’t surprise me if they went about publishing most of their own stuff from here on out. Disney in the manga scene… bound to happen eventually I suppose.
