I just noticed in the Viz Zach bell site that they have listed volume 25 as the final volume. However there are still 8 more volumes left in the series.
Does anyone know if this is a mistake? How can I contact Viz to ask them or to complain to them. I know Zatch Bell did not do good in North America as well as it did in Japan but they should have at least kept the manga going.. |

I'm sure it's just a little mistake. Viz always finishes series, even when they sell like crap (hi, Saint Seiya!). Volume 26 is scheduled for 08-11-2009.
There is a contact form on the website. About -> contact -> contact form. |

Maybe now they do. I could name quite a few series that they dropped midway in the nineties and early 2000's (?). |

and there also the shakugan no shana novels they've dropped. |

The only manga titles that Viz has dropped are their Pulp ones at the turn of the century; even then, they kept on with a few of them to completion. (Their last dropped one was No. 5 in 2002, which is apparently their all-time worst-selling title.) Would be very surprised if they were to drop another manga now or any time in the near-future. |

Oh? Then what happened to the likes of Urusei Yatsura, Black Jack and Metal Guardian Faust (okay, that one deserved it)? Did they lose the licenses halfway through or what? |

Meant in the last decade; my apologies. Those titles are of different policies and markets. Should also correct myself: there's one another manga title that Viz dropped. That manga is Tough (which is more or less universally hated, and was an experiment for them anyway, so...). |

Thanks for answering. I really do hope its a big screwup that they did because I got volume 25 today and it says to be continued, so they can't end there.
I really blame Viz for screwing up this series though. Its my favourite along with Naruto and One Piece. |
