@chichiri
Looks like owly got your v1, I'll check around my sources this weekend for v2, how much you willing to pay, not more than MSRP?

@Tamaria
Yeah, but on the negative side, Catbug can't actually control his jumps either, they're kinda random. But one time came back with a fresh out of the oven tray of brownies, that was a nice treat!

But as long as they keep sliding, they'll collect all the manga eventually, right? It's all good then.

heh so that's what amazon did with the copy of volume 1 of Deadman i sent em. they game me £15 for it and that's 3 times what i paid for it, i wouldn't ask a person to pay that much but as it was amazon i was happy to take the money.

I wouldn't bother with deadman as there were only about 5 volumes of it out before it got canned, fingers crossed it finds a new publisher who goes back and starts again (and checks for spelling as the tokyopop one had typos in it)

Recently, I acquired OOP manga of Viz shojo (eg. Maison Ikkoku, From Far Away, etc)... They were hell expensive. I live in Asia with less income than western countries, so I can't possibly get all the recent english manga from online or kinokuniya as I wish per month.
Plus, I can't buy the digital version due to region restriction, what a sad thing.

And the recent manga that I wanted to buy was "With the Light: Raising an autistic child". Damn... the recent volumes went OOP before I could grab them.
Also, I want the OOP books of "Case Closed". And, I wish that Viz would reprint "Monster", but in the form of the 3-in-1 edition with bad quality paper.

Some interesting series that are definitely OOP are manga from CMX, I wish I own Emma, Seimaden, etc... TAnime cryT

I am hoping for this to, especially with a live action show being produced for HBO. It would make sense for Viz to jump onto that cash cow when the show airs.

Anyone looking for some Eden: It's an Endless World? www.archonia.com has volume 9 back in stock. Only a few copies though, perhaps just one.

I wonder if Yen Press ever reprints their manga. I see that "Sayonara Sensei... are OOP. And I seriously want to read "With the Light", but there's absolutely no scanlation available.
I wonder how some sellers (Amazon/ebay) get to know about OOP books and grab the OOP books then resell them. I really wanna know how they know which books are getting OOP apart from checking with Rightstuf. I never knew which book will get OOP, never saw any sign.

Anybody knows where I can find "With the Light" vol. 5+6 at decent price? Thank you!

I'm sure they'll reprint popular series that are still running and (fairly short?) completed series that did well the first time around, but Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei... that's not going to happen. Most, if not all leftover Del Rey-stock seems to have been dumped overseas and it doesn't look like Kodansha has any intention of continuing the series.

I have a copy of Short Program 2 if anyone cares. There's a bend in the spine, bit of damage to the top of the spine, but otherwise, pretty good, and it's hard to find.

Had to cancel my order for attack on titan vol.4 because its been 3 weeks and it had still not shipped i have no idea what the problem was there.

Hope i have better luck ordering it from amazon in a month or so maybe. This is the first time the book depository have let me down and they've been a bit cold about the whole thing.

Hmm. I see a "send by e-mail" voucher thing that costs nothing & a "send by UPS" that costs 150+ Euros. =/ I am very confused, to put it simply.

classicalzawa: The Banana Fish books came in on Monday. Thank you!
