   English-language publishers outside U.S.

   A post in  a few weeks ago got me started thinking:   
      
   If a manga series is dropped by its U.S. publisher with just part of the   
   series published, is it worthwhile looking to see if the entire series is   
   available from a publisher in an English-speaking country outside the U.S.?   
      
   I've been rummaging through my manga collection the last few days, and I've   
   found a bunch of series that were dropped by the U.S. publisher without   
   being finished: seven of nine volumes in one series, six of nine in another,   
   two of three or one of two in others, etc.   
      
   I tried Googling a few series, but wound up with tons of pages and nothing   
   useful for non-U.S. sources.  So I'm wondering if anybody here could suggest   
   URLs for any non-U.S. publishers or retailers who might ship   
   English-language editions to foreign countries (including the U.S.).   
      
   (In case it's not obvious, I'm in the U.S.)   
      
   Thanks for any help!
