Glad to hear it! I was wondering if they'd ever catch up to Japanese release at this rate(Kyo's in its early thirties now x.x and Get Backers is even further). Although I'm not sure about Saiyuki and Fruits Basket. Those might catch up too quickly.
Getbackers is pretty good. It's funny and a pretty good action comic. The anime is fairly... gay(very manly-touching oriented), but the manga's more action and boobs. But, it doesn't let the eye-candy overshadow the action. I tend to think of it as being like X-Men, only less... social-awareness obsessed(and less crack). The first chapters are so-so. It's the later chapters, when it hits that Makubex storyline, where it gets interesting. |

This is a suprise. Most manga does better on a bi-monthly basis, unless it's superpopular (Rurouni Kenshin, Lone WOlf and Cub). Fruits Basket will probobly sell the same, but the other series might take a hit (after all, GTO wasn't monthly for very long).
As for Get Backers, I have mixed opinions about it. In some cases it's great, in others it's mediocre. I'm not up to date on it currenly, but I don't think I'll be reading any more of it. Pretty standard shonen with good art. |

Fruits Basket is a very popular title among girls and is always placing at the top of Graphic Novel sales in huge chain bookstores, so I think that it's a good move. I don't know about the others, though.
