Viz posted on Facebook earlier that they have the reprints ready to be sent out to retailers now.

As for me, I finally got Sensual Phrase 17. Guilty pleasure series complete. I wonder what my next OOP hunt will be?

Anyone knows or have a place to get Volumes 22, 23 & 26 of Iron Wok Jan? These are the only one I'm missing to complete the lot.

I just went over to Alibirs, I was able to find all three for around $5 a piece (though with shipping starting at $4, just try to order from the same seller to decrease that cost). Still, not bad

I'm assuming you already went, but if not, I'm searching for a copy of the Del Rey Parasyte Vol. 3 as well as the Editor's Choice editions for Maison Ikkoku Vol. 3-4.

Just to give you piece of mind I didn't see anything. The only rare title I saw was Priest 14 in Waterstones for £6.99. I was very tempted to pick it up but it was in pretty poor condition Sad

If anyone doesn't already have Adolf, I'd get it ASAP, Vertical tweeted that there's something like 20 copies of v1 left in the warehouse (plenty of v2 he said).

I'm bad, I have my copies but haven't read them (I've read the Cadence edition via my university library, but it's a pretty depressing read, which makes it hard to revisit. I think Adolf and Barefoot Gen are the two most depressing manga I have), but it's still really good!

Fortunately, I have v01. I still need to get v02 but that seems less urgent.

Inio Asano's fans should get Nijigahara Holograph while they still can at regular prices. Since it was a hardcover edition by Fantagraphics and, therefore, quite expensive for the prices we are used to when buying manga, I've been delaying the purchase until I've noticed it had gone out of stock at Bookdepository - and for quite a while now. I've bought one of the last few copies from Amazon, and I think the prices for it will skyrocket soon, as it seems to be a limited run and don't know when or if it will be reprinted (it sold out pretty quickly, so a reprint could be on its way sooner or later, but you never know...).

I should have jumped as soon as i saw this. Managed to get an order in at waterstones to the tune of £18 even though im strapped for cash right now (damn you steam summer sale) should anything happen to this order like say they don't actually have it in stock as advertised my next best price i found was £40 which is unacceptable.

Had to be done, i got solanin and what a wonderful world and would very much like punpun if it ever sees a US release, asano is prime material to present to someone if you want to shatter their perceptions of what a comic book is.

I'm usually pretty good at finding titles, but this time I'm stumped. Has anyone seen, or does anyone know of, a source for the third novel in Katsura Izumi's The Guilty series? Stupid DMG sent me volume one for free and now I have to know what happens. Laughing The cheapest I've seen it is $50, which I'd rather not pay for a small paperback if I can help it, and Interlibrary Loan just told me that they can't get it at all. Any hints would be greatly appreciated, even if it's just to say, "Look at page ___ of this thread, stupid!" (I skimmed through...)

If anyone happens to find volume 8 of Parasyte, I would be interested in buying it. Preferably someone from the USA, but I'll buy oversees as well.

I've been sitting on volumes 7 and 8 for a while. Should have bought 'em sooner considering I had troubles with some earlier volumes. Laughing

^Are you looking for the DelRey or Kodansha versions or does it not matter?

I'll see what I can do but let me know if you find them.
