    Hourou Musuko is continuing magazine publication in Japan -- I picked   
   up volume 11 of the tanko when I was there in June so finishing it in   
   English translation is a bit of a moving target. There's also the   
   likelihood it will not be a particularly popular title in translation   
   given the story-telling style (the content is not that off-putting, I   
   think) and the sketchy artwork so even getting the current eleven tanko   
   volumes out the door is problematic -- see other titles such as Aria for   
   the sorts of problems a niche-market manga has even if it appears to be   
   popular and even with the extra marketing push of a well-received anime   
   adaptation behind it.
