Why would I want this to be licensed?
It's has a very intresting synopsis and quite unique nowadays I'd say.
Besides, the artwork in this series is really eyecatching.
LAM definitly is one of the reasons which got me intrested into this book. Checkout Witch and Hound's official wesite for more info/images about the world and characters.
