The Most Popular Manga Yet to be Licensed

VIZ Media, Yen Press, Dark Horse, Kodansha, Vertical, Seven Seas, Crunchyroll, J-Novel Club—the localisation playing field is wider than ever, but not every manga has the fortune of being officially translated because, well, there's just too darn many to sift through! Not even scanlators can cover every base.

It's easy for minor manga to miss out, but even some of the most popular series on MAL, going as high as the top 100, have yet to receive an official release! So in this list, I'll be going over the most popular manga yet to be licensed in English, but I've also noted official licenses in other languages for reference. This does not include manhwa, manhua, or novels.

Parts 5-8 of JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken would otherwise be listed (yes, all four), but since the series has an official translation currently making its way through Part 4, I think it's safe to say that they're guaranteed to be released in due time.

Dont forget: we regularly get surprise license announcements (most recently Hokuto no Ken from VIZ Media), so there's always hope for your favourite series!
