It's nice to see they are continuing the Manga series again though the release dates seem a bit far off considering the length of the books and how the cover art is already done.

I agree that it seems slow, and if they keep up this speed (one book every two months), it won't be until summer 2013 that they catch up to where Chuang Yi is now (never mind where they'll be in 2013). But when you think about it, they're doing brand new translations for Volumes 8 and up, right? (They wouldn't dare release the shoddy translations of Chuang Yi, would they?) There's probably more work to do on these than you think.

Plus, they've got to give the kids enough time to save up the $10 they need for the next volume. ;)
