This really is very exciting!!! To have all 39 volumes of GB translated is a major dream come true!! I truly never thought I'd see the day when it would happen -- but now that goal is actually in sight!
Yea why did they even stop translating it? I think it is a contender for 'Greatest-Manga-of-All-Time'...
The reason they stopped translating it was because Kodonsha cancelled tokyopop's lisense. Im not sure why they cancelled the lisense though.
