Not sure if I'll be checking any out. Rasetsu probably, even though Yurara, while starting with a lot of potential, ended up a disappointment. OTOH, I've loved the other two series by Chika Shiomi that I've read, and Rasetsu is about the more interesting characters. Black Bird's description at Baka Updates sounded like it could be fun until I got to the part where her childhood friend-turned-protector is now her teacher.

Meanwhile, what will it take to get them to license Tokyo Crazy Paradise and Seven Seeds already?

ETA: Err...missed Ooku at the top of the list. That one I've heard good things about.

Ooku would have had me from "AU history of the Tokugawa shogunate" or "serious exploration of gender role reversal" alone, even coming from a totally unknown mangaka. Both elements together, and from Fumi Yoshinaga, who has a ridiculous track record of even managing to take tropes I dislike or am actively squicked by and making them work? I do not have words, capslock, or sparkletext sufficient to convey my overwhelming squee.

ME NEITHER.
