While their 2014 release slate is pretty locked down at this point, as publishers work pretty far in advance to secure all they need in a timely manner, 2015 is looming and we’re seeing a new survey from Vertical where they’re asking fans what they want to see picked up. Not surprisingly, based on previous surveys, there are some restrictions to be had here of course since there are entire ranges of books that they can’t even look at due to publishers being locked into specific deals, etc. So make sure when you go through the survey and list the titles you’d like to see, they fit into the right category so that your entry doesn’t do any good.
Restrictions include:
Make certain to not provide titles from the following publishers:
Shueisha
Shogakukan
Akita Shoten
Gentosha
Also we are not accepting licensing rescues.
We are only accepting titles launched after 2002
We recommend participants keep series to 10 volumes or less.
No novel submissions, please.
