I just wanted to be the first to say THANKS! for scanlating Umi no Misaki!

I was a hugh fan of Kou Fumizuki's previous manga, Ai Yori Aoshi (in fact, it was the first manga I ever read) so after it ended, I was really hoping somone would pick up his new series. Now that I have started reading Umi no Misaki, I am really enjoying it.

Thanks again!

just as mdauben said for me too I picked it up from hearing it was done by the same person except for me I never read the Ai yori aoshi manga but only watched the anime but rly thx for scanlating Umi no Misaki.

also just in case for those who have seen the manga and anime of ai yori aoshi, did the manga go any further into the story than the anime and if so where would you recommend to start reading it from to join the 2 up.

This manga is one of the calmest I've ever read. It makes me feel relaxed - the backgrounds are superb. Thanks for scanlating this - it's a good one.

One more thank you for your work on this series!

Yes this is one of my favorites. I read more manga from this site than any other.

Give your thanks to Gari for working his butt off. As for Ai Yori Aoshi, it's licensed in US, and completed its run, so we won't be doing it afterall. It has been our long standing policy to NOT get in the way of licensed series. Sorry, but don't count your beans on us with Ai Yori Aoshi.

Anime (Ai Yori Aoshi Enishi) sorta covers up to volume 10-11. It could use one more season, but that's not looking likely.

thank you very much for this manga. it's looking pretty good so far.
but, the settings feel a little lonely, right?

Guess I'll join too.
Thank you very much for this. Definitely one of my favorites atm.

love at first sight. I too want to say thanks to the staff that scanlated the series

thanks, enjoy each release more than the last

It wasn't my intention to suggest that you should. I was just saying that I was eager to read Umi no Misaki because I liked the author's work. In fact, I already own all 17 volumes of the US release of Ai Yori Aoshi from Tokyopop, so I would have no need for scanlations.

Oh, yes, the manga certainly went much further, and reached a definite conclusion to the story. As far as where to start... well ideally I would just start at the beginning. The first season followed the progression of the manga pretty well, but it did skip a few bits. The second season skipped around quite a bit, however, and adds and "anime only" ending.

Season one ended up around the beginning of volume 8, and the second season had bits from volumes 8, 9, 10 and 12, so you could start with volume 13 if you really wanted to, without missing too much. The whole series is worth reading, though.

Please add my thanks as well.

There's something very pleasant about the manga that has me hooked. It may be in the harem genre but it doesn't feel like that to me. There is a certain quality to the characters that I find refreshing and enjoyable. It's made me want to read all of AYA now.

I'm betting that this title will be turned into an anime at some point. I still can't believe that they are making Sekirei into an anime!

Sekirei... only redeeming feature in that series is the boobies. (like many others before Sekirei)
