Um, well I'm going to an anime store and get it today, because they got the english version last week. They called me and told me so.

Really? Because I can't find it anywhere, either in shops or online. Far as I can make out, it hasn't been released, but there's been no word from Bandai as to why, or even confirming that it's been delayed.

It says it's in stock on the online chapters shop and you can also pre-order the other ones.

In other news, guess who's just obtained a copy of the Lucky Star manga English translation!
Suddenly, very happy.

Sweet, good job.
Oh thank God. I was about to get furious at BANDAI for a minute there.
In other news, THAT'S what Tanner looks like.

Well, I have it now :D finally!
I wonder where the rumor about Bendai holding back the release came from? There haven't been any official statements from the company about that, have it?
Anyway, I'm so glad I have it now, and can't wait to enjoy it!

Might I suggest the Gurren Lagann manga?
My B. Dalton store is sold out of everything that I want!! I bought the last copy of Gurren Lagann manga Volume 1 a week or so ago, and Haruhi Suzumiya (both novel and manga), Lucky Star, any of the One Piece books I want, and Ouran High School Host Club are all either sold out or not in yet. The clerk said that they only order more copies of something if a customer orders for them, which is stupid!! Why don't they just order more when they run out?
Besides, Naruto and Bleach do NOT need all that much space on the shelf.

Somebody please give him a cake, or better a copy of Lucky*Star. (I don't have either right now T_T)
Back on topic: I'm in Tennessee right now but my copy from Amazon should be at my house by now =]

I'd prefer the emboldened.
But, hinestly, I do not see why Naruto and Bleach have all that much shelf space reserved for them. I swear, I know that their popular, but nobody in their right mind would purchase THAT MUCH of either one.
Lucky Star, on the other hand... :D
I never got into Naruto and Bleach. And the only place i can buy manga is Borders.
Now i gotta wait for it to get here. Which could take forever.

I buy my manga at Borders, Half-Price Books, Barnes and Noble, some comic store, and online.

I usually use the internet, but I have also used Borders and Forbidden Planet (where I got Lucky Star).

I use B. Dalton (obviously), Players, and I used to use Waldenbooks in the mall here before it shut down.

amazon.co.uk is amazing, it has manga that's only in America with no added import costs. Also free UK delivery! Woo!
Might not seem that great to many people, but it is for me.
i think amazon is my new favorite website.
i didnt read the manga yet, but i flipped through it and the artist's style indeed changes. try comparing the first few chapters to the ones around 3/4's. I would imagine it to change in the 2nd or 3rd volume.

Given that it's a monthly comic, it's possible that there would have been a year and a bit between the first and 20th chapters.

Yeah. At the end of the first volume (I read scanlations online), Kagami Yoshimizu's art style begins to look a lot more like it does in the anime than it does at the start.

Indeed! In chapter one of the manga, Konata looks like a real lady and her hair is different than in the anime. In the later chapters, she looks like a girl with the hair we are used to :)

I finished the manga today, and on one of the last pages where the information of the English version of the manga is printed, I noticed some numbers on the end of the page. It was:
[quote]10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1[/qoute]
What does this mean? Will there be 10 volumes?

I doubt it, only six have been released so far (it's ongoing, but I doubt they'd be that specific).
The page with the publisher's information on it (first published in Japan in 2005 etc.)? I have no idea what those numbers mean...
