ComicsOne has to be the most unlucky studio in the business.

 Please Teacher! - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Note: This particular translation can be potentially misleading, as it may be misinterpreted to mean something along the lines of "satisfy teacher," when the Japanese word "onegai" means "please" as in "please and thank you." The title of the series is sometimes also shortened to 'OneTea'.
The English language version the manga, released as Onegai Teacher, is published by DrMaster, formerly by ComicsOne.
DrMaster also publishes the Onegai Teacher novel, written by Gō Zappa, which (somewhat loosely) follows and expands on the events of the anime series, since it covers most (if not all) of the written episodes for the anime that, in the end, didn't make it.

I know that ComicsOne is officially defunct now, but just to add a different side to the whole manga/comics debate, here's an interesting excerpt from the article Crouching Tiger, Hidden Demand:
Not only were Chinese comics available, but their sensibility, aesthetics, and pacing were so distinct from the manga style that Kuo and ComicsOne editor Sean Sanders became convinced that theirs was an untapped cultural niche.

 Mangamaniacs Review: Onegai Teacher by Shizuru Hayashiya & Please!   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
My one complaint is that the pages are very busy, crammed full of characters and activity and speech balloons and sound effects, and I wish Hayashiya would have opened up the layout every now and then to let his very appealing artwork breathe a little.
ComicsOne has done a nice job with their English language presentation of this manga.
The artwork is reproduced very cleanly, and they even did a good job with the logo design, keeping the look and feel of the original cover while accomodating the differences in language.

 Mangamaniacs Review: Kazan by Gaku Miyao   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
His action sequences are very creative, using Kazan's eagle friend Kamushin and his unusual weapon (an ornate knife with a rope tied to it) to set up some clear but surprising visuals that display more style than your average action manga.
ComicsOne has done a mostly adequate job with their translation, although like many lower-budget manga companies they have chosen to use verbs (like "push" and "walk") as sound effects.
That, and one page late in the volume that was clearly not flipped before translation, are my only complaints about the presentation.

It doesn't actually say anywhere on the site who is in charge, but ComicsOne is prominently mentioned on the home page, and there is no manga from any other companies on it.

It's old school/new school time again on Manga Island, just as school lets out across the country and on the Island itself (my wife just graduated with her Masters and so we have time to catch up on things that have washed ashore on all parts of Manga Island!).
I was first exposed to the series through the OAV (Original Video Animation) series in the 90s, and was very happy when the now defunct ComicsOne took a chance translating the manga from the late 60s/early 70s.
Although the books are flipped from their original right to left reading style, and some of the names are changed from the original (their leader, Hiba remains the same, while the character Hebopi is renamed "Hippy Tom"), overall the presentation is solid and crisp.

We’ve lost a fair few good titles with the closure of Comicsone which we will now never see the end of, but I hoped that The Four Constables wouldn’t become one of them; and it looked touch and go at one point on the Dr Master Forums.
I am very very happy that 1 title has been picked up from the remains of ComicsOne outside of the handful that DrMasters has claimed, but what impressed me the most was Infinity Studios willingness to go back and reprint the first 5 volumes before continuing with the series where ComicsOne left off.
That is a fairly risky gamble and for their sake (if all what is said in the press release is true) I hope it is one that pays off.
