Does this happen to you? This has actually happened to me on a few occaisions, although recently I've been buying manga thats a bit more popular so I haven't had to worry about it, but a few series that I started were dropped. (Ironically all stopped after volume 2. . . well not really ironic, its just a coincidence)

Anyway, have you had this happen?

(BTW the 3 series I've had dropped were Cowboy Bebop Shooting Star, Devil May Cry 3, and Shin Megami Tensei "Kahn"

There was a manhwa I was planning on getting into, called Unbalance Unbalance. It's not exactly dropped, but they stopped hard printing them, and now you have to buy the rest of the series in online format. Only volumes 1 and 2 are available in print.

I have a few discontinued series on my shelves.

-888: I can't recall the publisher, was it ComicsOne? In any case, it was dropped after just one volume, even though it's a pretty good series.

-Beck: Tokyopop sucks.

-Kindaichi Case Files: More Tokyopop hate.

-Yotsuba&!: not officially discontinued, but stuck in purgatory nonetheless

And then there are some series that are on hold/barely updated/discontinued in Japan:
-Immortal Rain
-Qwan
-Sexy Voice and Robo
