It's good to hear the production quality remains first rate. As for the idea it gets more grim, it will be interesting to see how that ends up coming across to me.

You've got me interested, I'll give you that. Hopefully I can find a copy this weekend.

I really enjoyed the first volume, but hadn't had a chance to get to the second yet. I was kind of expecting it to get more grim, but maybe I'll save it until I'm in an appropriate mood. Yen has rapidly shot up to become my favorite publisher.

Hmm, I've been to 2 Borders and a convention. Couldn't find a copy. Hopefully TRSI has it in stock.

As of current TSRI has the two currently released volumes listed as "On Order". That being said, I ordered both volumes from TSRI. Both of which I've already received. So while they may not have them listed as "In Stock", it's just a matter of time before they ship the volumes once ordered.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm actually waiting until Thursday so I can see what the new specials are.

Just a heads-up (especially for those looking to grab one, or both, volumes of Kuro): going by the current forum thread and Amazon.com, apparently the first volume of Kiyuduki’s newest series, GA: Geijutsuka Art Design Class, has already made it to stores.

Something possibly worth keeping in mind for anyone on a Kuro-quest.

Now, I haven’t yet read GA (another yokoma about “five female art majors in their senior year of high school”), but I’m more than willing to give the book a blind shot.

Also, props to forum-mod Hayate Kurogane for bringing the book's in-stock status to my attention.
