    I see this series going on for at least five to eight more volumes. Unlike the original this sereis is a along dranw out multilayered drama with so much inter conceting history and stories it will take a long time to get it all sorted and out in the open.

    Sorry for bringing up the old thread, but I thought it a waste to start a new one. Anyway, I have Vol 1-8 and it has really been good thus far. I'm dying to read the next volume, but I've heard that Kishiro is only doing 9 volumes, like with the original series. I'm curious to see if that's true and if it is, how he's going to wrap up the series with only 1 more.

    You are talking about the original Battle Angel series, and not Last Order?

    Battle Angel Alita ends with volume 9, and it wraps up the series pretty quickly, and if it didn't end in the manner it did, it would seem like it was unfinished (which I felt it was).

    If you want what I obviously consider the real ending, you'll have to start reading Battle Angel Alita: Last Order. The plotline that diverges partway through volume 9 of the original series, and continues onward, revealing more of Alita's past, and the role she may play in the future. Nine more volumes so far, and it's ongoing.

    Ahaha, I should have been more specific. I did mean Last Order...I've had the original series for 5 or 6 years now. And Volume 9 isn't available...is it?

    EDIT: I guess Vol 9 was available as I found a scanlation. The series can't end here!
