That Time Dark Horse Almost Licensed Attack on Titan & Rose of Versailles

posted on by Kim Morrissy
Michael Gombos shares "embarrassing (manga) licensing stories" at AX

Rose of Versailles.

Dark Horse ed on Hajime Isayama's Attack on Titan.

Gombos also recalled another story about a manga he overlooked which was a big deal: Udon Entertainment picked it up, Carl told me, 'We coulda had that?!'"

How did this happen? Gombos explained that the manga team at Dark Horse is small, and he was juggling many different tasks at the time. He frankly acknowledged the missed opportunity in retrospect.

Hajime Isayama launched the original Kodansha Comics is publishing the manga in English digitally and in print, and released the 34th volume on October 19.

Ikeda launched the original manga in Shueisha's Margaret magazine in 1972. The story is set in the intrigue-filled court of Queen Marie Antoinette before and during the upheavals of the French Revolution. Lady Oscar is a young woman raised as a man to serve in the palace guards.

Udon Entertainment began releasing the manga in December 2019, and has since released the entire manga in five omnibus volumes.
