best of luck, its been on my hitlist for a little while now and I've had no luck.

got the wrong end of the stick there and thought you were saying my love story wasnt getting decent reprints too so i went and bought volume 7 as it wasnt available directly off amazon lol. I'd not started buying it yet but it was on the cards so its not a big deal.

I am looking for Jormungand 6. See, I got a bunch of them for $1 each, brand new, but had no idea about vol 6. It's currently listed at like, $200+ for a single volume, which is just silly, but Viz is also terrible at pre-printing things that aren't selling insanely (like SJ titles and some popular shojo, like Skip Beat or My Love Story)., as I'm sure any Basara fan can also attest to. I don't even care if it's ex-library, I care if it's a reasonable, not $220+ price.

Does it have to be a physical copy?

k all being well I've managed to get a copy for around £20 which stings but with it being a dark horse title its unlikely to ever get a reprint and i'll prioritise getting the last few volumes i need to cap this series off.

I'll see how things go, gonna be a while until i have that copy in my hands provided they don't cock up the order they're forcing me to go through with. Wonder if they even realise the rarity of the book they're selling me. Their manga section is mostly copies of avatar so i have to think they have no idea what they're doing.

Well after going ahead and making a push to finish off blade of the immortal (mostly due to the vol.27 scare) im happy to say i now have all the volumes on shelf. Better still im almost totally up to date with all the dark horse titles im collecting so should they decide to resume any of the ones they've stalled i'll be in position to just carry on.

I was tempted to try and grab vol.8 of suzuka to fill that gap i have when kodansha said they "rescued" it but im just gonna assume they're being wind ups again and only plan to do the digital only crap they pulled with mushi-shi.

seems like it's always that one Volume. That price should fade or at the very least I'm going to ignore it for now. The first two omnibus editions are already up for pre-order and yeah I'm chompin' at the bit for them.
Blade of the Immortal Omnibus Volume 1
Blade of the Immortal Omnibus Volume 2
BLADE OF THE IMMORTAL OMNIBUS VOLUME 1 TPB

@lem

Any idea if this edition is flipped or unflipped? For that matter what is the trim size (height and width)?

I've got the full run, I've been reading the series since sometime in 1998. I may have to wait for it to show up at Barnes & Noble before I decide to double dip or not.
