where to buy
The English editions are published by Viz Media, digitally from 2009 via the old SigIKKI site and in print from March 2010. The final volume came out in English in September 2019, about a year after the Japanese one. Availability has been in and out over the years but as of the last time I checked most of the run was obtainable new.
- Viz Media — the English publisher. Start here.
- Your local comic shop — genuinely, they can order it, and it is a better outcome for everyone than the alternative.
- Japanese volumes — Shogakukan, 23 of them, the last shipping November 2018. Importing costs more than it used to and I have no current shop recommendation, having last done this in about 2014.
other sites
Most of what was linked here in 2009 is gone. I have left the dead ones listed because it seems worse to pretend they were never there, and because a surprising number are partially recoverable through the usual archives if you know the name.
- gutter & ink — general manga criticism, still going, much better written than this site.
- ikki scans — dead, around 2011. Not for the obvious reason; the person running it just stopped.
- the hungry bug — dead, about 2013. A recipe site that cooked dishes from the manga. Genuinely delightful and I am still annoyed it is gone.
- hole city — dead, date unknown. Forum. No idea what happened.

The ring these buttons belonged to stopped resolving somewhere around 2014. I have left the navigation in the sidebar because removing it would mean editing every page, and because the buttons are the only decoration this site has.
