If you're thinking about starting the manga and haven't yet, do so now.
According to Amazon.com, they are running out of copies of every volume aside from 22, with no plans to get any more in. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=sr_nr_p_n_feature_browse-b_mrr_0?rh=n%3A283155%2Ck%3AExcel+Saga%2Cp_n_feature_browse-bin%3A2656022011&bbn=283155&keywords=Excel+Saga&ie=UTF8&qid=1302974289&rnid=618072011#/ref=sr_pg_1?rh=n%3A283155%2Ck%3AExcel+Saga&keywords=Excel+Saga&ie=UTF8&qid=1302974454) According to RightStuf.com, the only volumes currently in-stock are 1 and 22. (http://www.rightstuf.com/cgi-bin/catalogmgr/2NlJVxAicoQw04alcw/browse/search/5/4/0/0/results/desc/asc/50/1) While that one does say there are "more arriving soon," that doesn't always mean they'll ever actually get more in.
Dang.

hmm.. Not very often will I believe the "more arriving soon" line. For myself (at least) it means "You're shit outta luck, son!" :e_annoyed:
But I do hope this is not the case.
I... I just went and re-bought the entire series (minus volume 8 ) on half.com. Cost me about $90.
Now I can have a set to lend out to friends.
oh boy
seriously, $90 for 20+ books? That's pretty sweet.

And she made off like a thief in the moonlit night! :e_shocked:
It was $40 for the books and $50 for the shipping...

on half.com.
$8.95 for Volume 7.
Mother of God.
For vol. 7.. that's unheard of these days. O_o Excellent price.
FUCKING BULLSHIT! I have no money right now, last of which I spent on Wakfu Vol. 2 (which still has not arrived)... AND YOU'RE TELLING ME EXCEL SAGA IS GOING OUT OF STOCK!? I still have a lot of volumes to buy, since most of the series I've read off others (namely this one guy who is no longer here).
God damn it!
Damn, and I spilled juice on my copy of volume 4. I better look for a replacement quick and possibly invest in some kind of special case for my other volumes.
