I was wondering what happened to them; it seemed like they largely fell off the edge of the universe after the Street Fighter series ended.

Read or Die: R.O.D. Official Archive

That's an interesting choice. Is R.O.D. considered that popular??

They brought over a really nice Monster Hunter artbook not too long ago.

Not sure about ROD, but it was shown here (USA) on TV dubbed so... maybe. I only really buy their art books.

Yeah, I remember it running on G4.

I own 3 of the Korean "Apple" series they translated, and their original Apple-style book, "Vent".

Tough & Riki-Oh's Saruwatari to Launch New Manga

This year's 34th issue of Shueisha's Young Jump magazine is announcing on Thursday that Tetsuya Saruwatari, the creator of the manga Tough and the artist of Riki-Oh, is launching a new manga series in late September. The magazine is not revealing the protagonist, theme, or setting of the new series yet, but future issues will have more details.

The combined 37th/38th issue of Young Jump will also launch a three-chapter spinoff of Tough, tentatively titled Devils x Devil, on August 9. The survival story is set in Paris in the near future, when a virus threatens all of humanity.
