i dont remember how long ago it was but i posted a thread asking if the Viz DB manga was censored or not. Well anyways i decided to get it (since i found out it wasn't). I started getting 2 volumes at a time, every month. I was missing 5-6 until recently. i couldnt find them at the local waldenbooks store, it seemed strange that they hadn't restocked any in a while. So yesterday i once again went to check for them. To my surprise they had fully restocked the mangas! But guess what? no longer was it the same publisher WTF?!? Instead of Viz it had Shonen Jump on it, and it was a new format, it wasn't the same layout as the one before it. So my question is if Viz will stop the production of the mangas, from what i saw they had only made 1-10 (i got 1-9). It would really suck if they did because I started collecting the Viz published ones, i wont get to see the complete spine illustration

edit : spelling, yeah im picky like that.

Viz is still publishing them, just under the Shonen Jump name, to try to push the brand, I guess. But now they're a bit cheaper, and yeah, the new ones are all uncensored too. The old ones can still be found on shelves, but something tells me they're not being produced anymore.

Its possible they might still make collected paperbacks, it may just take a bit longer. I'd recommend picking up Shonen Jump anyway.

well i'll probably have to pick up the shonen jump ones, but only volume 11 and up. The only way i'll pick up 1-10 all over again is if i become rich or something, it can happen! what sucks is that i wont have the full illustration on the spine label

They do actually have the spine label illustration on the new Viz Shonen Jump GN, just in a different spot. So you'll have the pic, just not in full allignment.

Like the price cut on the new line of GN, as I'm just starting to get the new Inuyasha GN's...

really? well that's good i guess, but also my collection will look odd due to the different sizes, these shonen jump ones are smaller then the orignal format by viz, and your right about the alignment, but oh well, as long as i get them. And your right about the price cut! at least that's good .
