It's been a while. [plus tiny rant]

Well, I apologise for my long diparture from this blog. It honestly has been quite a while, I know.
So, I am a big fan of shoujo manga, and thus turn to Shoujo Beat for different series to read. There are very good series under the name such as Godchild or Ouran High School Host Club. I have noticed, however, that as time goes by, more and more series are being licences by Viz (under Shoujo Beat), in very small periods of time.
This, in my opinion, is rediculous. There are at least 40 different series in the SB line, most of which only have 1 volume out as of now. It's like a manga collector that grabs volume 1's, never continues, and thus has a collection composed only of that.
This process slows down the releases of many series - the series that are actually popular.
Take Ouran High School Host Club, for instance. A very popular series that many shoujo fans like. The last volume was released in Febuary 2008 (volume 10). The next volume is due to be released in November. That is almost an entire year.
And while these series are being released at very slow paces, tons of other volume 1's are coming out.
Shoujo Beat - take a break! Calm down! Take the time to complete your series and then license again. This is crazy! We fans would like volumes to be released once every 4 months or so, at least. Not once a year!

Hopefully changes will be made eventually. Honestly, licensing companies should be COMPANIES, not badly organized manga collectors.
