With the sequel now publishing is there any chance of the original manga getting a reprint??
Looking at pictures of manga covers, i see 2 different vol. 1 covers (other vols too), and the new cover is in the same style as the sequel cover, so in japan they got a reprint??

English version was never completed, anyone know of other manga that first run was not complete but got completed in reprint? Maybe ther's still hope for this

Highly doubt it.

Shogakukan (those behind Viz) lost all the rights for Konjiki no Gash !! , so there won't be a reprint made by them. (That's why it never got completed in English)
Those who have the rights for it is Kodansha , so they should be able to do their own publication (even in English , via Kodansha US) , but they are not those who actually publish the Sequel , so it seems that something happened...

Not a "reprint" per se , they just got different editions.
Tankoubon (Normal) edition with 33 Volumes , a recompiled 16 Volumes Bunkoban (smaller books) edition & a 16 Volumes Kanzenban (Definitive/Perfect/Final) edition.

So there is a chance the perfect edition will get an english release?? I don't know all the publishing terminology, that's what i meant when i said reprint, a new edition

In this case , yes , there is some chances.
But the fact that the Sequel is published not by Kodansha , but by a random unknown company is weird...
Since Kodansha has the rights , they should have got the Sequel published under their label , and if it was the case , a reprint would have been something to expect , but now... Dunno.

The Bunko/Kanzenban (dunno which one) is being published in Brazil, so I say that's totally possible. I do recall Kodansha not being the owner anymore though. It seems there are bunch of manga rereleases by minor publishers. The Hokuto no Ken kanzenban comes to mind.

Yeah, that one. It's the first time the manga is being released here. Sorry for the late reply.
