Ribon is a shoujo manga magazine aimed at girls age 9-13, published by Shueisha on a monthly basis. The titles in Ribon that have been licensed here in North America were picked up by various publishers at first. Some of the earlier series came from Tokyopop and and CMX, but now are mostly from Viz media under Shojo Beat.

Which popular series have been in Ribon? Marmalade Boy, Full Moon wo Sagashite, Time Stranger Kyoko, I.O.N., Phantom Thief Jeanne, The Gentlemen’s Alliance Cross, Mistress Fortune, Sakura Hime, Aishiteruze Baby, Cactus’s Secret, St. Dragon Girl, Ultra Maniac, Gals!, and Kodacha to name a few. As you can see, that list is mostly dominated by Arina Tanemura who no longer writes for Shueisha but is a free agent. Well, what’s running now, you say? Here’s what’s currently running in Ribon:

Sugar * Soldier

Hai! That’s what currently running in Ribon. There are always short stories and one shots of course. These are the main series you will see that are ongoing.

So which of these series that’s non-licensed would I like to see? Tsubasa to Hotaru actually got an anime, so that’s one I’d like to see. We were going to get Hiyokoi from Tokyopop before they went defunct. Now, who knows? I think Romantica Clock looks interesting, too.

How about you? Anything look interesting? What would you like to read?
