For example, had I known how Kamiyadori ends, I probably wouldn’t have bothered to buy all the books just to find out the ending is nowhere near complete. Well, I’m fairly certain I wouldn’t have bought Murder Princess vol. 2 either, if I had been told how it ends before I bought it. That’s just me, though. Murder Princess still has excellent artwork and cool action scenes. For some that may be enough, but I would’ve liked to see a better conclusion instead. Knowing the circumstances I’d say the end was decent and I’m not blaming the artist for bad end, but cancelling of Dengeki Teioh which caused all of this.

Anyway, I don’t think you should be quite so hard on Rozen Maiden. True, Comic Birz did cancel it; true, volume 8 is generally lackluster; but the story is definitely not over yet. Peach-Pit signed on with a different magazine to publish a second series, taking place a year later. Hopefully it gets licensed and translated by one of the really good publishers (Broccoli Books and a couple others); hell, if VIZ gets it, I might make an exception for my vendetta against them.
