If it's the art style, then I must have strange taste (and if so, I'm bloody well proud of it), but I absolutely love The Last Uniform, so here's hoping for the best.
Adam Arnold wrote:The high cost of producing the third volume vs. the low number of sales it would generate make it impossible for us to put the book out right now.
You're not giving up on it entirely, though, right? I mean, I don't mind having to wait more, as long as it makes it out eventually. izzzy2:
If they had an anime for Last Uniform (same with First love sisters and Akatsuki-iro) and after finish watching it, people might buy the mangas but I don't know if that would make a difference

The costs involved in releasing a book exclusively for sell online are the same as if we were to release it for bookstores, so this isn't a viable option for us.

The Last Uniform hasn't sold all that well (maybe it's because the art style?), but we'd like to find some way to put out the third volume at some point. Now just isn't that time, though, considering how low bookstore orders are and sales have been across the board as of late.
I don't understand why some things sell and some do not. I guess not many do or we would have a lot of rich people. This manga has first rate art, story, and translation. I was worried about the size (format) of it at first, but the larger size makes the art that much better.

We currently don't have any plans to license the third volume of The Last Uniform or to reprint the earlier volumes.
