I did wait for a while, but now i feel i need to ask, as most of you probably have greater knowledge regarding manga.

What is going on with volume 7 and 8 of Excel Saga? Amazon.co.uk no longer has a buy option, Amazon doesn't have it at all, half the websites I found turn up no results for any, Anime-on-line I've been waiting on for forty days, and only now have they stated their suppliers don't seem to be selling it.

So what's going on? Is it being withdrawn to be republished? Has a Manga series I actually enjoy, lost 2 of the middle volumes for no apparent reason at all?

If you could point me to a website that sells in english pounds* that would be useful (might be trying archonia.com

*Not old enough to have my own debit card so have to use my Dad's- and I'm never going to get him to purchase something in US$

Well, they are available used if you don't mind that. £3.50 (new) on amazon.co.uk for volume seven, £14.22 for volume 8. The price of the latter is a little steep though. You're sure you aren't allowed to shop American sites? It would be much cheaper.

Well I have just quickly set up an account on just manga. I notice it's advertised at the bottom of the forum, so does anyone out of the US have experience importing from that site.
Or any experience at all?

Then I can just state the positive feedback, keep suggesting it and sulk and then he might possibly consider it. Also Just manga does state they have the books in stock.

It's just possible import taxes- I've been waiting so long I don't really care, but that's likely to put off my Dad.

And how much would I expect to be paying to two books. Couldn't be much could it- it was only £4 for a simpsons DVD boxset...

Odd, it now appears as though the site were able to find the books and dispatch them. If they are correct, I feel some positive feedback coming on the feedback section Razz

Another website seemed to have volume 7 as "Out of print".

Guess It's kind of lucky considering I have volumes 1-6 and 9-15.
