From what I know from sources that have translated some of the newer chapters, things are going to be even more intensely weird than normal (normal for Excel Saga anyway). For the time being Viz will continue the publication of Excel Saga in English, and considering the present publication trends we will have another volume per annum, until series completion. Vol. 22 is coming out in around a month from the date of this post, so figure from there. It's been a great ride, but all stories must come to an end - better they do so before they lose their edge. I haven't posted anything in months, but when things settle down, I will offer a review of the upcoming volume.

It’s been a great ride, but all stories must come to an end – better they do so before they lose their edge. I haven’t posted anything in months, but when things settle down, I will offer a review of the upcoming volume.

While both anime and manga are rather different, I think they're still funny and amazing in their own ways. Somewhat depressing to think that Volume 7 and 8 haven't been reprinted--at least good old Carl Horn (I know him from the Eva Geeks forums) seems to understand how frustrating things are for fans of the manga. Excellent article, I'll do what I can to check out more of the manga!

Excel Saga has a lot of great dialogue, and is one my biggest inspirations for humorous writing. :) Great article!
