Well Danielle and Kel, you both make sense and have points...though I'm not arguing--as I said, before I give it serious thought for application; as the more I read the more I totally love the manga/romance!
They do use some Japanese artists, but the graphic novels are created and published elsewhere, in many cases they are written by other, non-Japanese authors. In my opinion, since we decline Korean manwha, I see a parallel here ... unless you can correct me and show me that they are released in Japan?
Yes Kel, after research I found though they're written by English romance authors and art by Japanese manga artists, they have been released in Japan...since December 31st of last year! Called: A girl in a million.
Not only is the Harlequin Pink available, but also the Harlequin Violet...in Japanese....proof:
Amazon JapanYup! I did my homework!
Now, this isn't to say I'm arguing it--as stated: Korean manwha was declined and they're not 100% manga, so fair enough--a decline is a decline...
As far as the lines of manga, I agree with Danielle. CLAMP is another example of a "line" that we have not approved; you can apply for the individual series and/or one shot works, but not the line as a whole.
Yep, I agree too otherwise you'll probably get flooded with requests...but oh well, now this subject is covered in case anyone else has the same idea.
Thanks Danielle and Kel for clearing it up :flower:
