Why is it so hard to get my hands on Demon Mask?

I've tried to order it through Diamond twice, and I just looked on Amazon and it's a 1-3 month wait? What the heck is up with that volume.
Any chance a new edition is coming out soon or something?

Actually, I also had some problems in ordering "Demon Mask". I first looked on Amazon.com and Amazon.ca, the waiting periods were extremely long, as you said and (mostly on Amazon.ca) the shipping charges were prohibitive.
Finally, I found the book on Amazon.co.uk. I ordered it... and it was in my mail box two days later.
So, if you can't find it on Amazon.com or any other US site, try foreign online stores, their stocks can may be more complete at a competitive price. It's worth trying.

Is this out of print as well? It's gotten so hard to find out what is, and what is not in print.
Space Usagi never sold well for me at San Diego, so I would bring just a few copies. This time, I brought just a couple of HCs and a few trades. They sold out the first day, and people kept asking for them throughout the con. It wasn't until later that I found out it had been OP for about a year. I don't know when it will be back in print. We may want to use this as an experiment in a different format.

Do you mean regular tpb size or the even smaller manga?

I don't know if Demon Mask is officially out of print or not. Diamond just cancels the order, they don't provide a reason. At least not as far as my comic shop guy has told me.

I also got mine on Amazon.co.uk. I had no problems... I ordered it around this time last year, I think. Perhaps a little later...
