Kodansha Comics @ Otakon 2015
09:13:00 Q. Maria?
09:13:15 <bay|Ota|Kodansha> A: Unfortunately, Maria didn’t perform well enough to justify rescuing it
09:21:30 <bay|Ota|Kodansha> Q: Why is Akira the only (??) manga available in English
09:27:11 <bay|Ota|Kodansha> A: I can’t answer that
09:27:11 <bay|Ota|Kodansha> Q: If I read the manga on Crunchyroll, does that help you?
09:27:11 <bay|Ota|Kodansha> A: We are Kodansha comics, part of Kodansha USA, Crunchyroll works with Kodansha Japan
09:27:11 <bay|Ota|Kodansha> so indirectly
