As much as I hate the series, if it's making Yen Press money, then I'm happy. As long as they don't make Twilight a main focus. After all, with all that Twilight money they get, maybe we'll be able to get more manga over here.
It would be great if that happened but I am pretty sure the fans buy the book becuase it is Twilight, nothing more nothing less. So I would not expect the fans of Twilight to branch over to Yen Press's other titles ... if at all unless of course the storyline involves vampires and what not, but Vampire Knight is licensed by Viz ... so yerh. More or less it would be a "I am walking into a bookstore and going straight to the Twilight graphic novel and walking out again" situation. But then again, never say never.
I said this before and I'll say it again: if someone doesn't like Yotsuba&!, they are not human, Twilight fan or not.

I'm with you. I want nothing to do with Twilight, but if it leaves Yen Press rolling in dough, so that they can license awesome titles (and keep bringing me Black Butler and Sarasah), then go Twilight.

I'm no Twilight fan either, but each to their own, and its overall a great thing for Yen Press, especially with the industry not in the best shape. Guess you better get the whole series locked down, Yen, before someone else jumps in.
Hey, if this gets Yen to pick up the Interview with a Vampire manga, I'm all for it.

Yeah, I agree. Twilight in manga format = more manga fans and sales overall. Then, the publisher can bring over more series. Everyone wins.
And bash this series all you want, but about 80% of current licensed manga is as stupid or more (I'm looking at you, shoujo and harem series! And yaoi!). At least, 80% out of the stuff they market over here, because teen girls are the biggest market share.
And I am not a teen girl. Or even a girl.
Okay, I'll stop now.

I have a begrudging respect for Stephanie Meyer; she got there first. If I (or anyone with an eye for exploitation) had taken a good look around, I might have realized that there was a huge potential market for vampires and romance, and all the other stuff that goes in those kinds of stories. I missed the chance of a lifetime...
