Will Saiyuki Reload 9 be released in the US?

Question

I was trying to find information about whether there will be a saiyuki reload 9 manga released by tokyopop in the US. If anyone has information about this it would be great!

Answer 1

The Reload tankobon 9 has already been released in Japan last month (I have it).  You are right about no word about the US release from TP.  They are so slow with everything right now (they are cutting back in staff too due to economics).  I would assume they will have it ready by the end of the year.  If not, beginning of 09.  Sorry, but that is the best I can come up with.  If you want to find out the latest chapters from Zero Sum after Volume 8, just go to either Radio Banri (they only provide RAW scans) or Saiyuki Manga (they have the translated scans) share at LiveJournal.
