I would recommend people buying the complete sets from Yahoo! Auctions Japan instead (as I did), as there are several complete sets there all the time, with the cheapest one right now (buy it now option) is 4000 yen (~52 USD).
About nine times of ten they don’t. So you have two options, either you have a friend in Japan that can buy it for you and ship it to you when she/he receives it.
The other option is to use a service provider that does it for you. On of many is http://celga.com/ , which I used several times. Of course they will take a fee for their service, to know the total cost, read their FAQ.
Here is a link to some of the auctions: http://goo.gl/8KDbT
Remember, there are more items up there than the manga, because it’s what the Japanese use instead of eBay.
But… how? The plot isn’t anywhere close to finished, and it kind of already has enough chapters to make 8 volumes. One more volume simply won’t close all the open issues.
Hell, Hamel and Flute haven’t even arrived in Sfz yet :/
I have no idea – I can’t read french. But do you know how trustworthy this site is? Maybe it’s better to wait for confirmation one way or another from Anime News Network or a better known site.
I can only read the kanji, and it does mention the final chapter. I have no idea what’s been going on since chapter 63, or how many chapters have been released since then, but I also can’t see how this series is going to end without being rushed. (Though I suppose it would be Watanabe’s style to use this as a joke on Flute and Hamel. They traveled all this way so urgently, only to arrive in Sfz after the battle’s won. Heck, I can even imagine Great smugly saying “What took you guys so long?” to troll his parents)
最終回【さいしゅうかい】 (n) last time; last inning; last part.
http://michiakiblog.cocolog-nifty.com/blog/ I’m trying to read his hand-written notes and he does seem to be saying that “Shchelkunchik is reaching the last part” or something like that…..:( I still can’t believe it, though! The manga’s nowhere near finished!
Of course, I don’t put it past Watanabe to troll us either. XD;; Maybe it’ll change titles, though? One can hope.
10x yes. I don’t know about the original, I only found out about it when it was finished, but I’ve heard of other manga which did switch names while changing magazines… so it’s possible? Here’s hoping.

….wow, that sure does look like better business! XD Do you have a link to that specific auction, though? And do they ship to the Americas?

That will be finished with only 8 or 9 volumes ! o_o
But… how? The plot isn’t anywhere close to finished, and it kind of already has enough chapters to make 8 volumes. One more volume simply won’t close all the open issues.
Hell, Hamel and Flute haven’t even arrived in Sfz yet :/
So … It’s look like its a no sale issue ? :(
Man, i’m sad. x_x
Or it’s just the end of a first “part” and he will continue in another one ?
I HOPE !

I think the news is based off of this scan from the latest(?) chapter of VoH:S, so I think it’s legitimate.

If we get trolled I’m hoping it’s by Watanabe and not by the publisher who’s axing this series due to low-sales. :p
I *think* the original VoH series switched magazine at some point, so I don’t know if a similar thing could happen with Schelkunchik.
10x yes. I don’t know about the original, I only found out about it when it was finished, but I’ve heard of other manga which did switch names while changing magazines… so it’s possible? Here’s hoping.
I have trust on manga-news, it’s one of the best informations websites in french. Not like ANN but hey … XD
I’ll just pretend I don’t know any of this until it’s official, which I hope it’s not. Too sad for my sanity.
