ADV has issues. They’ve dropped some rather great manga. R2 and Gamerz Heaven were great choices for them to publish, though true they aren’t that known. Only volume one of Rise R to the Second Power ( R2 ) and just the couple first volumes of Gamerz Heaven. Makes one wonder if the same will happen to Lagoon Engine Einsatz. Another publisher would have to take over and it may not have the nice square shape that volume 1 had. The art to R2 is nice, though a bit too clean. R2 is also pretty rare to find as you won’t find this in more bookstores and likely a lot of online stores. You’d have to order it or Ebay it. It’s technically out of print. There is the site ( EvalPowar ) that did scanlations for it, but their scan group is pretty much dead. The site remains and you can direct download it from them, since all their torrents have also died. I’ll go chapter by chapter later this week of the first volume and write about such. Perhaps at a much later time the artbook ( R3 R:Cubism ) could be scanlated by us.

Two new CurrentAir Anime sub-forums have been added. Ghost Hound and Gundam 00. About a month before they are going to be aired. That’ll give it a head start.

There will be several things fixed later on. Links, images, and the forum’s random downtime. This part of the site and gallery will also be updated, which should bring new features. After such, the Character Adoptions will return and perhaps new things to discuss.
