So in case nobody else has been paying attention, Yen Press have been doing this amazing job localising all of the Umineko manga for release in English-speaking territories, and they’ve managed to release all the way up to the end of Dawn of the Golden Witch, consistently promising each subsequent volume. But all of a sudden, their release schedule for Umineko has disappeared. As far as I can tell, there’s no observable plans for Yen Press to release the final two Episodes of Umineko, leaving readers right before the finale of this amazing story. I’ve tweeted at them a few times for comment (they are usually pretty active in replying to people) but all of my attempts have been met with no response. Things aren’t looking good.
I guess the first question is: have you been buying these releases? It would help if I could get some firsthand data on whether or not these releases have been successful. I thought for sure they would be but, maybe I’m wrong?
