Naoki Urasawa's "Yawara! A Fashionable Judo Girl"

Naoki Urasawa's "Yawara! A Fashionable Judo Girl"

The company reported that its domestic rights to the anime based on the manga from Eisner Award-winning 20th Century Boys and Monster creator, Naoki Urasawa, is expiring this August 31. The premise revolves around a girl who wants to have a normal life, but is browbeaten into training into martial arts for her grandfather, in order to win tournaments and sports events. [Thanks, Wikipedia!] Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, Animeigo could only get the first 1/3 of the series over here, but it’s 40 episodes which you can currently own for $35. Thanks to @jrnemanich and @animeresearch for the tip.
