I, too, am sad about From Eroica With Love, most of all.

@ Robin Brenner: The other titles, Emma and Swan sounded promising as well.

But we should not give up hope that some other publisher will take up these series.

@badzphoto and @dcm — thanks for the corrections! I’m sorry for misrepresenting what was happening with those series. I thought I’d double-checked eveything, but I’ve updated the entry to reflect your corrections.

@Valeria: I know just what you mean. I had to beg for a copy of volume 6 of Emma when our library copy was lost. I was surprised that, at the time when volume 8 was just coming out, the middle volumes were out of print. It would be wonderful if someone might republish Emma in a nifty hardcover omnibus or high quality paperback omnibus. I think a lot of fans would snap those up.

@Anne-Li Check out some of the other CMX titles while you still can. :) Swan is truly an epic series, and well worth the read.

Thank for for this write-up. I found it very interesting. I don’t know much about this kind of thing, I’m just a big fan of From Eroica With Love and I’m very, very sad about what has happened. I need my Eroica fix … I do so hope there is some chance of some other company might continue publishing it!

The news about CMX were a great blow in all the manga fans. I could not cope with it yet. I live in Brazil and I collect some of the CMX series. Unfortunately, I left Emma for the end. The problem is that some volumes are already out of print, or it look like. I could not get volumes 5 and 8. I wish CMX could released some new impression of them before the end…

Kusakawa’s Two Flowers for the Dragon will get to have one of the final CMX books to be published, but it will also be incomplete since there will still be one book remaining in the series.

“Kiichi and the Magic Books” is completed with 5 volumes.
