It frustrates me that for so many of the series we have, the last volume didn't get translated, or the printing gets cancelled... so they don't exist in English. So the collection will be forever incomplete...
I've only flicked through yona 36 and 37, so I have the broad strokes but not all the details. Last week was yet another week off with Daiya, I am guessing that the writer may be under a lot of stress and needing more time - or he might just want a holiday. I have a feeling that the next chapter may be pivotal to the whole story.

Last week was yet another week off with Daiya, I am guessing that the writer may be under a lot of stress and needing more time - or he might just want a holiday. I have a feeling that the next chapter may be pivotal to the whole story.Why do I have the feeling that when the Daiya manga starts again there might suddenly be a rainstorm or something else to prolong the story even further? I think it's officially been a year now since the game started? I'm a Koi, Now I'm in Love 3 was released. I need to pick that one up. I also need to move some of the books on my manga shelf around to make room for the new titles. Ponyfan
Oh, you mentioned that rainstorm tongue in cheek, but you know, delaying tactics are brutal. SpoilerLast week's chapter was entirely a time out, with a messenger sent from the bench. THE WHOLE CHAPTER HAD NO GAME ACTION WHATSOEVER. Bear in mind that was the first chapter after a 2 week break and a cliffhanger. GRRR! xD.
Not to be repetitive, but again with Daiya.Real spoilers within.SpoilerI'm currently trying to work out whetherSpoilerthe game just ended or not. I know that should be obvious, but the way the pitches are, I'm really not 100% at the moment. Sigh. But...SpoilerMei was definitely out at home plate.Also...SpoilerReading it over, I think it ended...but I guess we'll see next week if it did. The umpire certainly hasn't called it yet, but it does look very final and general conversation in the fandom seems to be that it's done and over with.
Daiya:Uberspoilers in this tagSpoilerThe game didn't end with Mei being out, but if the game did end,Spoiler yes, Seidou won.The general view in the fandom is that it's the end and the game is done. I think so too, rereading it multiple times, but the umpire has not called it yet and I'm so wary because this mangaka is such a naughty person when it comes to putting in cliffhangers.Basically what happened was...SpoilerThe last chapter ended with Furuya's bullet throw to Miyuki, which he caught in time to get Mei out. Mei acknowledged the back home throw was so good that he couldn't really complain about it. Itsuki was on first base and moved up to second during this time. The third batter, Jinguuji, came up to the plate. Eijun did some thinking about how he wanted to step up to the next level too, beyond this game. Miyuki's like, let's go there, together then. And then it looks like he strikes the guy out. I never take it for granted until the umpire calls it.Something I can also say outside of spoilers, but it amuses me how some teams have 'themes' in the names of the characters. Inajitsu is a good example. Shirakawa is a place in Kyoto. Jinguuji is in Osaka. Tadano (Itsuki) is in Fukushima. Yabe is also a place name I think. I'm not sure Narumiya is a place name, but a Miya is a shrine, and so, technically, is a 'jinguu'. Yamaoka probably isn't a place name specifically, but the name is made up of 'mountain' and 'hill', which is also sort of in the theme. It just amuses me. I should be checking out whether Ugumori's characters have names relating to the sengoku or Nobunaga, since in their game against Inajitsu and I think against Seidou, they were throwing out Nobunaga quotes and comparing their games to Nobunaga's battle victories...Haikyuu does this too iirc. I certainly know that Ushiwaka is a not so subtle nod to Yoshitsune, not least because there's a comment about his teammate being 'Benkei', Yoshitsune's right hand man. There's probably quite a lot of Haikyuu manga, even if it's not quite as old/long as Daiya. They've managed to squeeze multiple anime series out of it, albeit I think season 1 and season 3 are only about 10 episodes each.
