Viz Media, who beforehand had published Matsumoto's Black & White (and later Blue Spring), released the first English-translated volume in a dust-jacket format closer to Western comics standards. The second volume was released in 2003, but due to bad sales (roughly less than 1000 copies of both volumes together sold), the series was instantly discontinued. Neither volume received a second printing run, and so is believed to be a rare manga in today's market. It was published in French by Kana.[1]

gollark: > you didnt realize reatailers use face mapping technology for years?Not sure about that, but I would definitely want to *minimize* the amount of cameras and/or spying in any case.
gollark: > And you can track people for block and block on end, via public transit cameras. So even if they get a brief glimpse of the person, they can track them until they get an identifiable image or even where they live. Subpoenaing records is just building the case to prove it was youSounds surveillance-state-y.
gollark: Ah yes, one example, so that means EVERYONE gets caught.
gollark: h? h.
gollark: Looks helicoptery.
