Are there any sites that provide accurate release dates for Manga? Ive tried looking online for info on a new manga I picked up (and really interests me) called PSY COMM... in perticular when volumes 2 and 3 might be hitting store shelves, but even on the official tokyopop website no dates are given.
The only info I can find is that it had a publishing date of Nov. 2005... is it normal for there to be such a huge gap from when its published to when its on shelves, and finally when the follow ups are released?
I'd try Anime News Network's release list (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/releases.php) for upcoming domestic releases.
There doesn't really seem to be a norm in release patterns for domesticated manga. Subsequent volumes of a series can be released anywhere from a week to a year later. In general, since we're talking about TokyoPop, their releases are a usually bit more regular than other publishers. *coughADVcough* But, of course, there are always exceptions.
Well, that, and the fact that sometimes, licensors will pick up a series, release x volumes, and just abandon it out of nowhere. Cough ADV cough.
