Yeah, Pokepuke seems to have 99.9% of Viz's attention. At least they
released Key in a reasonable amount of time.

I think the only way that Ranma will have a resurgence will be for
a remake to start up (like Cutey Honey). And last I checked Takahashi-
sensei had no plans what-so-ever to redo or start the series back up.

Then again, UY did make a return didn't it.

Sounds a lot like Louisville, they try and get non-labour jobs but
the companies & the state/city never seem to meet eye-to-eye. All
of the acclaimed medical facilities in Louisville are also slowly
disappearing so unless something drastic happens, Louisville's gonna
be a collapsed city.

Yeah, that's smarts! ;) I guess I should be glad I'm not in any kind
of industrial job. My dad's a Tool & Die maker (a dying, yet valued
profession) for GE and almost every week some accident happens. A guy
gets his finger sliced off or his hand in a press, etc.
