Current Availability Status
Fans have noticed that while the complete series is hard to track down, other adaptations, like Black Label and spin-offs, are much easier to find. One comic reader from the UK stated they are ready to buy but can’t find a complete set available for one-time purchase.
Responses from Retailers
Comments from fellow comic fans indicate that a few retailers still have stock:
Fakku: Some volumes are reportedly still available here.
Denpa: They have printed both the main series and the Black Label in a massive omnibus format, each consisting of about 600 pages.
The Hunt for Volumes
As fans note, the later volumes of the original series seem especially elusive. "The later volumes are harder to find," shared one disappointed collector. Many seem to be turning to user boards and local shops in hopes of tracking down these missing pieces.
