I was hoping that somebody could either provide a release schedule, or total numbers, for the volumes of the following manga.

-Samurai Deeper Kyo
-Get Backers
-Negima
-Full Metal Panic

I am currently collecting all of these manga's, but I am rather oblivious to the duration of my commitment to them. I've been collecting Full Metal for about a year now. I've been with Negiman from the start of its domestic release. Get Backers and Samurai Deeper Kyo I know have quite extensive backlogs already. Especially Kyo, which I think has something like 14 volumes out there (I only own 3 volumes of Kyo right now). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know how complete this information is, but there are the release dates of GetBackers and Negima at least. Just use crtl + f to search the list for a title.
The future release dates are at the bottom of the page.

Google the domestic publishers for those series. They should have accurate release schedules on their websites.

Thank you for all the help. I went with Ulthirion's link. I didn't realize just how in depth this web page was, when it came to its anime/manga related resources. Looks like I have a long haul ahead of me with Samurai Deeper Kyo. I only have the first 3...but I guess i'll pace my buying speed. Negima and Full Metal I am caught up on...so I buy those as they come. and Get Backers, much like Samurai Deeper Kyo, will see me pacing my purchases. I guess my second question...is if anybody has a link to a site that informs you about how many volumes there are for each of these series in total. All I saw was that Kyo has 27 volumes. I know Negima is still going...but I figured Get Backers and Full Metal Panic would have been over by now.

GetBackers:
ANN's Page:
Quote:
Number of tankoubon: 26

Tokyopop's page

Both list 26 volumes.


Full metal panic:
ANN's Page:
Quote:
Number of tankoubon: 6

but on ADV's site it says volume 7 is out. Don't know what's up with that though.
In general I find the Tokyopop site very clear in their information about their manga. You might want to check there first if it's about their manga's.

I remember hearing a rumor about Full Metal Panic only being seven volumes...but that made no sense, because the story doesn't even finish. And who would bother publishing an incomplete series...
