		ADV Manga publishes the US version in English.
		These comics were translated as a service to anime fans who don't read Japanese before the US release by ADV Manga, and are in no way meant as an infringement of the copyrights of the original owners.
		Now, the anime is available domestically from ADV Films.

	Manga Reviews - Information and Downloads @ Anime Cubed
		VIZ typically releases their manga on a bi-monthly schedule and occasionally chooses titles to be in-store exclusives for chains such as Waldenbooks.
		Unfortunately for ADV, the lack of an organized licensing plan and a history of unreliable release dates led to the cancellation or rescheduling of many of their titles.
		ADV claimed the market was saturated with titles, and they were ultimately forced to lay off as many as forty people.

		ADV Films is the home video publication arm of A.D. Vision based in Houston, Texas, specializing in publishing anime and tokusatsu videos, and other live-action material.
		ADV also holds anime screenings Tuesday nights at 7:30 at the Alamo Drafthouse in Houston and Friday nights at 7:30 in San Antonio.
		Recently, at Anime Expo 2006, manga publisher Tokyopop announced that it had obtained the licences for Aria, Tactics, and Peacemaker Kurogane and intend to continue publishing from the first volume of the three series rather than where ADV left off.

	ADV Manga now official - Anime News Network
		Following the initial announcement at Anime Expo 2003, ADV announces the formal launch of the new publishing division.
		The U.S. market for manga was recently estimated by www.ICv2.com at approximately $100 million annually, with growth rate predictions as high as 30% for the current year.
		It seems that those optimistic souls who made "it gets better later" claims for Valkyrie are suffering from some confusion as to the difference between the words "more serious" and "better," namely the fact that the two aren't necessarily one and the same.

	COMICON.com: ADV MANGA RE-STRUCTURES
		Unlike other names in the manga market, ADV began their trade publishing division relatively late as an outgrowth of its homegrown success in anime distribution, hiring Susan Itin as its publishing editor in May 2003 and announcing the publishing effort in November of that year.
		For ADV, their future in manga depends on overall success in the business on which the company was built starting in 1992, perhaps more so than any competing publisher.
		Manga companies generally have a hard time maintaining production discipline due to the allure of top title sales levels and agreements with producers that often involve taking properties in groups in order to get at the most promising one or two titles.

	Anime-Source.Com - ADV revokes its manga line-up
		For their part, manga readers remain skeptical whether or not ADV would be able to complete those titles in-progress that have not been cancelled outright yet.
		Some may try their darndest, but its a sad fact that manga and anime is not made for any one outside of Japan, leaving the casual fan to get the few ttles he can understand and leaving the rest of the industry to the few hard-cores out there.
		ADVs real problem, though, was to not just hook up with a translation group and use their talent.

		ADV is a couple years removed from their bold claim of 1000 volumes of manga.
		Such is the state that ADV is in right now and that is reason enough for me to want to forget ADV Manga entirely until they solicit something I really need.
		It would've been fun to sit in on the interview Publishers Weekly had with ADV Manga's sales manager for their article on TV-graphic novel tie-ins when the topic of Gunslinger Girl came up (did the reporter raise the question, or did ADV mention it?).

	ICv2 News - ADV Refocuses Manga Efforts
		ADV will release about 50 volumes of manga in 2005 in contrast to 80 in 2004, and will focus increasingly on properties for which it has both anime and manga rights.
		Although shelf space devoted to manga and graphic novels in bookstores continues to grow, the number of volumes released grew faster in 2004, leading to a very competitive situation at retail.
		In such a competitive environment (for both manga and anime actually) marketing is especially important and ADV is planning a number of cooperative efforts to push its anime and manga titles.

	comicreaders.com - Hundreds of Pages of Huh - July 2004
		I've not taken an actual survey of the translated manga hitting the market, but it seems to me there is a lot of shojo manga ("girl's manga") on the shelves, perhaps even enough to have surpassed shonen manga ("boy's manga") in terms of quantity.
		This is, of course, due to the fact that shojo manga is proving to be very popular among western girls.
		If you've been to our manga review section a few times, you probably know I'm a big fan of Iron Wok Jan! It's like the best kung-fu movie you ever saw, but instead of weapons and fighting, the story is filled with fresh vegetables and cooking techniques.

		When I saw the first ADV Manga titles at the bookstore my first thought was “are they nuts?” Most of the titles weren’t big name titles, and ADV was a virtual unknown to Manga fans who don’t like/bother with Anime.
		ADV also publishes NewType magazine, a category leading anime/manga fan periodical, and much of the editorial and production work for the manga books has been shifted to the staff producing the magazine in a new publishing division.
		ADV had a tendency in the past to grab up rights to portions of series that another company had already started doing the distribution for.
