Ah crap, I'm reading Video Girl Ai. >_<
So what exactly are we dealing with? I never heard of Diamond really... and I have to go online to buy my manga anyways because my book stores don't provide much so does is affect me still?
I don't think this event immediately affects most of you. The point of this news is one of the major comic suppliers considered that those Japanese manga no longer make money. The shrinkage of the manga market is getting more and more substantial.

Not really. This sucks for a lot of people. Not for pirates like me though.
Oh, my bad, I though this was a good news this is bad, very bad.

but ION and Wanted are pretty much new. Furthermore, they are very easy to sale.
For example: Arina Tanemora is popular in my country, so selling ION to those who've read Full Moon or Gentlemen's Alliance is very easy.
I'm also shocked to see Shakugan no Shana Novels on that list.
Why remove the original novel instead of the manga adaptation @_@

Seeing Banana Fish on that list takes me back, though. I haven't yet seen it being sold outside of chapters in Animerica Extra, back in the day.
