Awesome!
170% collected! Wow! It would be interesting to see if other niche mangas could get funded this way.
I'm crazy psyched for this comic, and can't wait to read it! If this works well please bring out more quality, hard-to-find manga into English.
I am glad this worked out it will be interesting to see if you can get any other books this way
Wow! Thanks Mary and everyone who has supported this project! The response has been WAY quicker and more enthusiastic than we could have hoped. Incredible!

Yay! You made it!
Good luck! I've checked this out from my library 3 or 4 times but getting it for 21 days at a time isn't the same as having a copy of my own. PLUS I would love to have Gohonmatsu on my shelf.
