and fewer physical stores are listing it (Barnes & Noble still has copies of volumes 1 and 2 and BAM has copies of v1).


Barnes & Noble and Books a Million (BAM) are the two remaining biggest book stores out there. Nobody else out there other than RightStuf (for manga) really matter. Really don't see the other small retailers taking a loss on these manga, unless there is a distributor "buy back" program.

Too bad for the artist though, all her hard work. And now her signature artstyle will be a reminder of act-age to many people which is not a good thing.


I am sure artist will be fine. She can always get a new job at a different manga publisher.

He was the sole credited writer AND, with how copyright works within the manga industry, either shared or primary owner of the IP. They couldn't legally continue it without him/his approval.
