So killing time at mangaupdates, it looks like most of your announced titles are from 2013/4, with the oldest from 2011. Is there a reason you're focusing on newer titles? Is it marketing (newer titles sell better) or technical (availability of uncensored digital files)? There's some real gems in the 2008-2010 period I'd like to see licensed, so I hope their age isn't an obstacle.
I agree, it is great to see these newer titles getting published uncensored in English, but is there any way to get some older titles published the same way as well? I would imagine that titles from the late and mid 2000's would be just as easy to work with and still be quite popular. Also it would be great to see some of the truly older stuff, like from the 80's or 90's, published uncensored in English. The reason I say this is because manga from the 80's and 90's have more distinct art styles from the newer manga. Is there any way for Fakku to publish any older works?
I think entirety of this just comes down to what's just requested and popular the most. And when chapters inside the Ren'ai Sample got released and scanned from the magazine, those had very high number of views.
Sure, I'd appreciate if Jacob can bring every single thing Japan has to offer, but let's face it. Forget the profit perspective. That's just not going to work in the first place.
