    I have the complete run of Family Compo in the French edition from   
   Tonkam as well as the Japanese Shueisha originals purchased from various   
   Book Offs in Japan from one of my trips there. I think there's also been   
   a Spanish licenced translation too. Sadly, as you say, there's been no   
   official English release.   
      
    I scanlated a few volumes of Family Compo (4, 5 and 6 IIRC) but another   
   scanlation group, SCX-Scans took over and did most of the rest of the   
   chapters that are on the Web before they fell apart and stopped   
   releasing stuff. I've been tempted to get back into it again but I think   
   I'd get gazumped again by another group that suddenly wakes up and   
   notices the title once again.
