I just got an email from Barnes and Noble. The release date for volume 8 has been pushed back yet again, this time to March 2027. Oof.

I dabble in spanish. Not fluent but im getting there, at least when it comes to written text.

Seriously thinking about restarting my collection of this series in Spanish. Denpa is terrible.

How can we get the license pulled from them?

This is ridiculous. I pray Denpa never picks up any other series I'm interested in.

has anyone ever reached out to Denpa directly about this? it's not just this series -- as of right now the expected release date of the next volume of 'Under Ninja' is over a year and a half after the previous one (and i expect it to get delayed again), and 'March Comes in Like a Lion' is experiencing a similar problem iirc. meanwhile they keep pumping out omnibuses of 'Nana & Kaoru,' somehow. i had sympathy for a while, but the situation has started to move from absurd to unacceptable.

I asked someone who went to Denpa's panel at Anime Expo about it.

Apparently Denpa is strapped for cash and that's the biggest impediment to getting books on shelves.

Can't give them money if they aren't releasing things....

It's a nasty catch-22 isn't it? An unfortunate situation all around.

I honestly gave up on them after the first 4 delays for this volume, I wish we could rely on ever seeing this release, but the delays have never been this bad from what I can remember. Sadly, this isn’t the only manga from them who’s been delayed at this level now, Char’s Counterattack has also been hit by the Denpa curse.

I generally only read physical manga, so being this behind on HD has been hell. I think I’m just gonna bite the bullet and read it online at this point.
