Self-explanatory title.

At least that's something, I guess...

Great question, I have no idea. This series desperately needs a resurgence tho. Just recently watched the dub version for it and it was really good too.

For the same reason Kingdom and Hajime no Ippo do, high demand on a popular series.

Because Funimation is a dub studio not a manga licensor....

The manga doesn't need to be licensed for a show to get a dub
