Hey, I want whoever's got the rights now to do more too, no problem.
^_^

I think Software Sculptors decided to jump ship and give the rights
to someone else. I think Pioneer might have picked it up, but I don't
know what their plans are for the series. I kinda think SS did a bad
job of making the last ep a leav-off anyway. ^_^

However, it still doesn't change my opinion on some of the Viz
release schedule yet. Does anyone know if they are just stretching
out Hard Battle until they find a replacement for Sarah Strange? It's
seems like the Hard Battle series is the longest running of them yet.
Maybe they can't think of a good name for the next series, hm? ^_^

I also have no idea what would be a good title for the next series.
Hmmm.... "Romance in Nerima"? "Tendo Dojo"? 

How far do people think the "Hard Battle" series go for? They
certainly have to end it somewhere...
