Tiger & Bunny manga after volume 5?

(Anonymous) 2014-07-13 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I just started reading these books, and bought them all because they're great.

Only I came to the last one, and it's not the last one? I was wondering how they were going to tie up all the loose ends in just 5 books, and they didn't.

Anyone know how many more Tiger & Bunny manga books there are going to be? I can't find the info anywhere, including Viz (the publisher's) website. When are they out?

I did try to google this but no luck.

My guess is that volume 6 isn't out yet in Japan. It can't be translated until the original volume is released, right? This happens all the time when the translation has caught up with any Japanese back volumes. Enough chapters have to be finished one week/month/season at a time for them to be compiled into a volume, then the volume has to be translated and all the new artwork done, the book printed/compiled into the final GN, and shipped out to publishers.

Check the printing date in vol 5. If it's less than 3 months ago, you have a couple months more to wait, minimum. If it's been 6 months, the new volume should be out soon. If it's been a year or more, then something's going on and you should email the English publisher and ask what's up.

June 2014.

Bugger, you're right. For some reason I thought it was 2012. I don't know where I got that from.

I'll just have to be patient.

Internet thanks to you!!!!!!!!

This is the first manga I've bought since Pet Shop of Horrors.

You're very welcome!

If you simply MUST know when vol 6 will be out, try looking up the release dates for the original Japanese volumes. It should be on amazon.jp or CDJapan. The timing of the previous five volumes can help you guesstimate when vol 6 will be out in Japan. Then add 2 months onto that for the earliest potential date for the English release.

There's 4 months between previous English language volumes. I'll look forward to the next volume for Christmas.

Thanks for all the helpful advice.
