Just as the topic title says, I wanted to know if anyone had heard anything about if Chuang Yi is still publishing their english version of the manga anymore, or if the company in general might be having problems? I ask because its been a suspiciously long time since they published the last volume of the series. I believe their volume 41 came out in February. As of the end of this month, October 29th, Viz is going to finally surpass their volumes (not counting those mini BW volume releases), when they release HG/SS volume 2. I also checked Chuang Yi's website and was surprised to notice that the manga that shows up on their recent release page is a manga from March *2012*!! The pages for their Sept. and Oct. "latest releases" and "coming soon" are completely blank. Also, the section for the Pokemon Adventure manga in their main catalog area only shows up to volume 40 (no volume 41 listed, even though I have it and you can find it on Ebay) and the screen caps for many of the volumes are broken links. All of these factors together make me very suspicious about what might be going on with that publishing company, and the future for their version of Pokemon Special. Its usually not a very good sign for a company if their site isn't up to date and has broken links like that ^^;;. So has anyone heard anything about this, might something have been officially announced in that country??
If they are still publishing then I can be patient enough to wait for their volume 42, rather than buying Viz's version, as I've found Chuang Yi's translation for the most part to be better than Viz's, and they haven't screwed up the chapter and volume numbering like Viz has. But if their translation is being cancelled, then I'd like to know so I can switch to the remaining alternative.
