Wonderful news. I've only purchased up to volume 3, thanks to volume 4 being OOP for a while. Now I can finally catch up with the releases. Thanks for the news!

Some unfortunate news regarding that "reprint" of volume 4 for Sunshine Sketch:

Got this email yesterday from TRSI:

Good afternoon!

Our records show that you recently placed an order for [order #] Sunshine Sketch Graphic Novel 4, which unfortunately, was canceled from your order. We have discovered what the issue was and made the appropriate corrections. This item is again posted on our website and is available for purchase if you would still like to purchase it. If you prefer, we will be happy to add this onto an un-shipped order.

We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused!

Sincerely,

Alysia ~ Customer Care

I reached out for clarification, but haven't heard back yet.

That email's pretty confusing.

Though it just makes me glad I decided to wait until more in stock were confirmed.

Doesn't that Email mean is back for order after some problems? isn't that good?

That is how I read that too...

I think what it's saying is that the book was cancelled from your order by mistake and that you can still order it, and they're willing to add the book to an unshipped order without you having to cancel the unshipped order because of their mistake.

That's what I'm reading anyway.

Any word on HSotD? is the series dead? It's been ages since anything has been printed right?

[AKX20000]

That's because it's been on hiatus and hasn't gotten any new volumes released in Japan.

So Yen Press has already released all they can for now.

Seeing some new solicitations today while checking Hachette Book Group.

Durarara!! Seika Arc, volume 1 [3/26/13] (Yen Press) Screenshot
Is This a Zombie?, volume 4 [3/26/13] (Yen Press)

Also, this seems to confirm (while obviously wrong solicitation dates) that Yen Press has up to at least volume 7 licensed for BTOOOM!.

---

The solicitation for Durarara!! Seika Arc, volume 1 is a completely new license, and is the direct continuation to the manga adaptation. The original Durarara!! manga adaptation ends at volume 4, so with the popularity of the series and undoubted success of the manga, it seems like an obvious decision for Yen to continue bringing over more DRRR!!; still holding out for the LN, as hollow a hope that may be, heh.

I'm only interested in the LN since the anime was based on that. I hope Yen Press will get it at some point...
