I suspect the odds of licensing are so low that I should just accept that I will just have to learn Korean to read it! But you never know–publishers have surprised me before.
Joy! I have been wondering if you have been reading this series (Oishinbo that is) – I have been reading them and loving them! The exhaustive detail is awesome :) I get very tired of the father/son drama though. Shikgaek sounds great too! Speaking of manhwa I have also been enjoying the “Color” trilogy by Kim Dong Hwa – got my hands on Color of Heaven today. First Second did a really great job on those books – they’re gorgeous.
@Erin – I’m especially looking forward to the one about izakaya, since I love going to them so much. If you’re ever in the area, I will take you to one!
I’ve been looking at purchasing the “Color” trilogy for SJPL but haven’t read it yet. I’d like to do both, but I’m still figuring out how far my budget will stretch. (I blanch every time I contemplate buying 30 volumes in One Piece in the first half of 2010 for 18 (soon to be 19) locations.)

Wow, Shikgaek sounds fabulous. I do hope the manhwa gets licensed eventually!
