That's great, these scans must've just been made recently, I'm sure they didn't exist in the past.

Hopefully they'll upload the specials and stuff too?

As well as the two alternate endings?

I also pray for fan translations > _ >

Given the fan translations of Excel Saga in the past have amounted to one group doing about the first 4 volumes and then giving up, I'd stick with hoping that Viz continues to release the series.  ^^;;

Well I based that on the fact that no one had even scanlated raws before, but now this has happened.

I'm sure Viz will keep doing it, but I don't have much interest in waiting four years to find out properly how it ends.

I could literally learn to read Japanese myself in that time.

They're also relentlessly unfunny due to their appalling usage of literal translation in a comedy. :P

So hey, Foggle and I, we both TOTALLY want this commemorative booky thing..!
We've been looking everywhere with no success though, we'd be willing to pay inhumane large sums of cash to get it, so if anyone comes across it, ANYWHERE, we're willing to take a look at it and order it..!

Really, we're literally dying to get this, need it, must have, etc, so any help would be appreciated, and you'd earn our undying thanks!!!

^It's become an elusive Holy Grail with the ending of the manga. I had given up on getting a copy last year. :elcry:

We're not giving up, every now and then we look for it, in hope that some sorry soul who has no sense of collectibles would sell one (or better, two) online so we could grab it, but it's next to impossible to find it..!
I actually considered sending Rikudou an email about it, hoping it was possible to buy a copy straight from him, but I doubt he'd be able to read the message, or worse, not have any copies available himself at all...

Can't stress how much we'd like to own this, so if any copies are available and you guys aren't planning on grabbing it, please let us know about it!!! :elhail:

I still wouldn't mind scoring a copy as well. If you or anyone else happen to find another extra for myself, please let me know.

I'll continue to look around for any leads.
