I guess almost every avid manga reader has some favourites he or she can only read on screen or in japanese. What manga would you like to see licensed? For me, the top manga would be:

1. Hajime no Ippo (one of the best manga ever - if not the best)
2. Kimagure Orange Road (classic)
3. everything by Mitsuru Adachi

currently, none of Mastumoto-san's original manga are available in english ;_;

i'm still very grateful Viz did license and translate the Eternal manga arc, but i would still like all of Matsumoto's classic works translated.
