Ohshit, seriously? I pretty much gave up on seeing Nagano continue Five Star Stories. He posts an entire timeline so that you know what happens. I'd love it if he made it to the end spoiler[when Lachesis and Amaterasu finally meet up again after being separated for eons.]

I'd love a re-release of the manga in America. At least half of the volumes go for obscene prices, and they don't cover everything that's been released in Japan. I ain't holding my breath though. It's just another in a long list of manga series that I don't ever expect to see a full release in America (3x3 Eyes and 7Seeds being two other series I really want).

At least I have the OVA. It remains one of my favorite OVAs.

I think we only got to volume 10 in English. I'd love to see the rest of the manga. The OAV was a fairly accurate adaption of the first volume of the manga. Shame they couldn't do the rest.

Wow, such a long hiatus makes the Hunter X Hunter hiatuses seem weak.

Cool, Cool, Cool. But is this supposed to be final arc material like it was reported a few years ago.

Toypress released up to issue/volume 26 in english. Don't know how that relates to the Japanese release. Plus we never got any of the "Tales of Joker" series.

There are other instances of series that take a really long time to finish (even if the original creators die). An example includes Cyborg 009.

Hoping, hoping, hoping for a restart of the English translation. This was one of my first manga series, the one I would go up to LA or into NY to get back in the day. I still reread the issues I have and take ve~ry good care of them. (And all this despite the fact that it was not at all what I was expecting when I picked it up.)

That said, I'm not really expecting such miracles.

We're in the Majestic Stand so we still have a looooooooong way before the manga finishes.

Isn't the English version pretty much never being continued because the author wasn't happy with it or something?
