I noticed the Dragon Ball Z VIZBIG editions going randomly in and out of print while I was collecting them (two years ago, I think?). They always came back on the market if I waited a while. :/ Not sure if that's happening now, though.

Looks like Viz reprinted Hunter x Hunter Vol. 14 after all: Book Depository has it at a low price, and while Amazon.com doesn't have it yet, there's a reputable Marketplace seller who's selling a new copy for under $7. I think that we have the new anime to thank for this. |

A heads up here, RightStuf just delisted a bunch of Viz books, including volumes of:
Absolute Boyfriend Banana Fish Case Closed Dr. Slump (all available digitally) Fushigi Yugi (has omnibuses) Hayate the Combat Butler JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Knights of the Zodiac Mar Megaman NT Warrior Mermaid Saga Monster Nana Neon Genesis Evangelion (omnibuses coming out) Nightmare Inspector One Piece (early singles, there's omnibuses for that) Prince of Tennis Ranma 1/2 Red River (becoming available digitally) Ruroni Kenshin (also has omnibuses) Shaman King Ultimate Muscle Yugioh Duelist Yu Yu Hakusho And the boxsets for Vampire Knight and Pokemon Adventure 1. For which specific volumes, just check their website Also, I need to point out the hilarity of just wtf happened here over on Amazon in regards to used Pokemon Adventure boxsets |

Luckily, I have Vol. 6 & 16 of Banana Fish + Vol. 3 & 8 of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure already. I'll need to get Knights of the Zodiac 19 and Slam Dunk 12, though.
Slam Dunk I can see them reprinting, since they did reprint 10 and 14 when they went OOP. Knights of the Zodiac, no. |

handy that they are re-printing HxH as i was just trying to get into that recently and the lack of available volumes put me off. i sold the harcback copy of vol 14 i had but i can now get the paperback one instead.
also nice to see the later volumes of hikaru no go get reprints too as they were oop and expensive. Wish i had the resources to just make a big list off all the at risk books i want and grab em. |

It looks like Berserk won't be getting a reprint at least in the near future: http://boards.darkhorse.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=19979

holy crap they can speak!
thats a shame i though berserk was really popular too of course from what I've learned of the manga industry my rule should be "whatever i think is wrong". Im almost all caught up with berserk, just put in an order for vols 25, 34 and 35 meaning i can order 26 and 36 on friday and then i just gotta get the new volumes as they hit. |

Berserk is popular and quite successful... However read through Randy's two entries again. He covers the topic of Sales Velocity (also known as Rate of Movement or ROM) and how that has impacted volumes in the middle of a series. That is especially true for long titles as stores do not always keep all volumes on shelves. More reason to preorder books. More reason to not delay when following a series... Unless you like manga hunting. |

Oh man, that's a real pity about Berserk. I'm still getting the books when I can but still...
I've actually been considering getting into Blade of the Immortal since it's actually finished up, but I'm a little nervous...Does anyone know how "safe" it's looking? |

Oh man OOP titles are such an annoyance you'll never really know what will be in or out from the vault. lol
Seriously I just noticed that volumes 17 & 19 of Xxxholic are being sold on Amazon at twice its regular price! Then the former OOP volume of Case Closed which is 34 is being sold at its regular to even lower price at the moment! It used to fetch around $45 or so.. But right now Case Closed 15 is the OOP one. Just FYI! I don't buy things consecutively rather I buy what volumes I could get more conveniently at stores. If I don't remember which volume I needed I usually get the much recent released volumes.. I always hate it when it's often the volume(s) I don't have that gets OOP!!!!! Seriously! |

I picked up all of the above on Sunday. I found Saint Seiya Vol. 19 for $3 at that. I also nabbed a copy of The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service Vol. 6 as that has also skyrocketed in price. Hmm, I have to decide quickly if I want to start Berserk.
I didn't realize that Vol. 34 went back into print. But 15 didn't? Odd. Maybe it'll just take its time to show up as available over the next several days, like Hunter x Hunter Vol. 14 did. Or maybe they just didn't think it was worthwhile at this time. It looks like Viz actually wants to keep all of Case Closed in print, if the reprint of Vol. 1-8 last year is any indication. We'll see if Vol. 11-12 follow suit, which have gone OOP since the last time I checked. I didn't realize that those xxxHolic went out of print. Interesting. This was also pointed out on Viz's Facebook page recently, but OOP volumes of Yu-Gi-Oh! Millennium World went back into print, as well as Vol. 3, 6, 8 and 23 of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist. Vol. 7-9 for Duelist remain OOP, from the looks of it. |

I still haven't gotten around to buying those last two volumes of XXXholic, so calling my friend who works at a comic store now to see if they still have them on their shelves. Don't want to pay too much, and I don't want to buy it in omnibus form whenever, if ever, darkhorse may touch it. Thank you guys for the heads up.
