After waiting 160 days or nearly half a year, we finally get the next installment of the Level Comics-licensed xxxHOLiC, but it's still a long way away from Del Rey's volume 11, much less the Japanese volume 13. I guess Gramedia is taking that 'xxx' denotes a variable
unknown quantity thingy seriously when it comes to the publication schedule of this CLAMP series. By contrast, the elapsed time between the last Hajime no Ippo release to this volume 44 was under one month.
I shouldn't quibble. At least, we're getting a release (which is more than can be sed for m&c!'s Goong), with these Kodansha seinen, shounen, and shoujo manga.
