      You're misunderstanding smth.
      Yeah, the market was unstable back then but that doesn't mean it has to be the sole reason for every lost license.

      What assures it to the company that it wouldn't have been a flop whatever the market state is.
      I am just saying that it ain't as easy as u think...

          Now that I look at Japanese Kino no Tabi I see that the Volumes are very short like 260 pages,240 pages and even 1 volumes have 208 pages and if that many pages are translated it could have at least 144 pages if I am not wrong even less :( Well I don´t mind that they are short at least they are very enjoyable and JNC would translated 21 volumes in a FLASH :D

              No, only the first volume was released by TokyoPop, back in 2006. Aaand they rearranged the chapters to put them all in chronological order.

              All in all, it's better we pretend that release never happened...

                @korppi yeah Tokyopop screw up Kino´s Journey with rearanging chapter and making their own cover and the color pages weren´t even included there and because of this all Japanese Publisher was pretty angry with it and since then we have nothing because of Tokyopop

                          @yumenokage most likely has something to do with this:

                            I think when he said "come and gone", he was referring to the anime.
                            All these old stuff coming back usually have a new upcoming anime, cuz marketing a novel series by a new ongoing (or recently finished) anime is the easiest marketing scheme for these titles

                            FMP anime just ended last summer
                            Kino, that was in 2017 (Too long has passed)

                                      Still hoping against hope that this gets picked up someday.

                                        I would love to have this in English but I'm not surprised it's super pricy to license.

                                          Since the recent license batch has spurred more suggestions, I thought I'd give this topic a bump. I know it's not the easiest to license, but I would be thrilled if it can one day follow the recent trend of some older and rescue series being licensed that everyone thought would never happen.

                                          This is one I like enough to put in the effort to read it in Japanese (painfully slowly, but it's good motivation for me to keep up and hopefully improve my modest level of Japanese after graduating), and I will buy it both digitally and physically if given the opportunity.

                                            Bump because I bought Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina, Vol. 1 and found it shallow and boring compared to both versions of the Kino anime.

                                            Reading WWtJoA makes me really wish for a rescue of Kino :( ... I guess I'll just watch Kino again over the holiday break instead.
