To be fair those editions were omnibus,so you were getting your money's worth.

I guess the anime is making it get a reprint or helping it.

Gotta wonder why it wasn't reprinted already. After Del Ray got taken over shut down by Kodansha Comics. Kodansha reprinted the series with the Kodansha Comics imprint and but it's obvious that reprint sold out awhile ago since half the volumes have been out of print for awhile.

I just don't get/understand these USA manga companies nobody is going to ever buy a series when half of the books are out of print.
So many series out there with missing gaps.

But I guess unless it's attack of the titan or naruto sales wise it's not going to get a reprint.

Anyways this is nice to hear it's getting a reprint.

Not surprised here, yeah I knew Parasyte anime and live-action would get a lot of attention in the anime fandom to warrant a reason to reprint the manga.

'Cus it's a weak seller here, and the only reason it's coming back is 'cus I brought something up with Kodansha Japan's rep. Namely that the Twilight lady 'borrowed' off of it with The Host. Rolling Eyes
