Hihi all,
I must add my two cents, especially since the most
recent messages have expressed my own sentiment.
AMG is one of the few translated manga titles that
have retained it's readership over the course of many
years, 7 years I think. They are consistently one of
the top 10 manga sold in the US, but with how fragile
the US manga industry is every reader counts.
When DH printed the lost AMG chapters in SMB! the
new bulk manga got a great send off into the market
place, but just 3 issues after AMG finished SMB! is
having to raise their price, because of the drop in
sales. The new manga CLUB 9 is really great
comedy, by the way!
I am not as really worried about DH dropping their
best selling manga title, but it is frustrating the amount
of delays DH/SP has suffered in the last year and a
half. SMB! most of the time came out late. The only thing
I really believe that has seriously distracted them is
this summer's convention season. That will be over after
this weekend. the BIG APPLE convention is not till
Halloween, so hopefully SP will get all their ducks
in a row in the next seven weeks.
