3.3.7 Byooshi!![edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

A search for reliable third-party sources only comes up with websites distributing illegal scanlations. Beyond the plot descriptions, the article fails WP:V, WP:NOTE, and WP:BK. The magazine or publisher of the series does not contribute anything towards the notability of the work. Nor does the author of the work appear to have any notability either. While the series does seem popular in scanlations, popularity is not the same as notability. Appears that it has not been licensed outside of Japan. —Farix (t | c) 12:14, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No evidence of notability found => Fail GNG & WP:BK. No licensor in English, French, German, Italian & Spanish. Search results are scanlations, blogs, forums & direct download. I should note that this series had a 5 bunkoban re-release by Kodansha denoting at least some popularity in Japan however that won't do in term of notability --KrebMarkt (talk) 09:58, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
