Is it just me, or they...

[Vonwert]

releasing mangas longer, and longer between volumes?

It seems that it was every month or two. But now it seems it takes up to 4 months before the next one comes out.

My favorite mangas are taking forever to come out, and it really makes me mad to think that I have to wait that long before I know what happens.

Did the whole, manga translating craze come to a hault for Tokyopop and the others? Or they too busy trying to translate a volume of every manga they can get their hands on?

Maybe they're just trying to torture us.

I'm just happy that we have so much great manga available these days. I'd rather they take their time on the translation, even if I have to wait a while to find out what happens.

Which manga are you talking about? Most of the ones I can think of still do releases every two months or so.

Manga dealers are like crack-dealers, the longer we have to wait, the more rabid we get, and the more we are willing to shell out when our addiction comes avalible.

The only series I collect is Excel Saga, and it had a pretty good two month schedual until the last issue, because the manga here had caught up with the manga in Japan. I think that might be the issue Vonwert is having.

In Yoshiyuki Sadamoto's case he's still drawing and writing Evangelion.

I've been reading and collecting and re-reading that series since freshman year of high school.

I know for a fact that xxxHOLIC is still ongoing, so they're probably either waiting for more to become available in Japan, or spacing the releases so they don't catch up too soon.

Yeah, that happened for a while with Saikano.

Yeah, Hunter X Hunter is still coming every two months...but with Togashi taking a year and a half (and counting) "sick leave", I'm sure it'll slow down too.

People are just too impatient.

When you're waiting for a continuation/conclusion to a story you started eight years ago, yeah, people are impatient.

Yoshiyuki Sadamoto has to do design work for other projects, though. It's not his ENTIRE JOB.
