Is the Gunsmith Cats manga (both the revised and burst ones) completely out of print?

So yea, it’s an absolute banger and as such I have decided to look into its manga, even more so that it seems that it’s full of content not adapted by the OVA.

But the thing is, I couldn’t really find any physical copies online (unless they were exceptionally expensive), and other than that I could only find it as a digital release on Apple Books and Google Play (though the latter seems unavailable for purchase for whatever reason). On top of that I saw on r/mangacollections that the manga has been out of print, but it did not specify whether it was only the original release or the revised and burst ones too.

So my question is, are all Gunsmith Cats mangas completely and forever out of print?

They are all out of print. (The original , the revised edition and Burst)
As if it'll be forever... who know. Atleast , there currently was no announcement about re-printing them.

That's super unfortunate then, I guess that the closest thing to buying a legit copy of it would be on Apple Books but damn, while I have nothing against E-Books, physical copies just feel better and give off much more satisfaction than a digital copy.

Thanks for letting me know!

Totally agree. Fantastic but short lived. Wished it would get a reboot or new series. Sad to hear that manga is unavailable as well

Dunno if you've been keeping up but there's a paperback omnibus edition scheduled for release next year. It should end up spanning 3 books for $30 USD each.

@Elevatorisbest NP. Sonoda is a car and gun nut so it has some of the best car and gun artwork you'll ever find in manga. Definitely worth a spot on anyone's shelf.

@NTAD Seems like the preorder is not properly up on my local Amazon (page is there but its unavailable for any sort of order) but Germany's Amazon has it up for 30 euros, lowkey expensive compared to what I usually pay for mangas and LNs but I will be still looking forward to get it (and it's better than ebay bankrupcy lmao), hopefully it gets listed properly on my local Amazon quickly

@Elevatorisbest Yeah it's a bit up there in price but keep in mind it's because they will contain multiple volumes per book and they will be printed a bit larger than a standard tankobon. That's where the extra cost is coming from. If not for that and it was a standard reprint they'd probably be around $9 USD per volume. Hope you're able to snag them!

@NTAD yea I know, the price makes sense, even more so given the larger size (I had no clue about it), it's just bigger cost than what I'm used to, but via my local Amazon or not, I will do my best to grab them wherever reasonable

Edit: Oh yea, smaller domestic stores have preorders for it too, so even if they never set up the preorder properly on my local Amazon, I won't have to waste 5 euros on shipping from Germany's Amazon lol
