I'm wondering why Viz listed volume 25 as the last volume of the series. If anyone has any ideas as to why Viz is stopping the series at 25, instead of going to 33 that would be great. Because if Viz is really doing this, I will be really bummed out about not having the complete set of Zatch Bell.
 
Hopefully just a screwup. 26 is listed for an august release on the 11th, true to the bi-monthly schedule, and has an english cover on amazon.com:

EDIT: found an english cover for 27 also, scheduled for October : http://www.bestnhobby.com/142152242x.html
 
Apparently if Viz were to stop on volume 25, it was probably because they felt that the sales weren't good enough for carrying on Zatch Bell even if the anime series will never be released in full on DVD here in the US.
 
As someone who bought the first 25 volumes, this is very, very, very unnerving.

I hope this is a simple clerical error, as aside from that on line on the site, no other news suggests the series is cancelled.

If this is true, I`ll lose a LOT of faith in buying Long Running series from Viz, and I`ll resort to scanlations. If you screw with me, I`ll screw right back.
 
I have received volume 25 today, and I can now say......




That is was a screw-up. The volume does not say "Final Volume" on the back, and it enRAB saying "To be continued!"
 
I really do hope its a screwup or I'll hate Viz forever. But considering that they still release some manga (like Saint Seiya) that doesn't sell well, I think they will finish Gash/Zatch Bell.
