In Malaysia, one can buy the Chinese tanks up to vol 5 as of 27 Jan, 09. Don't know about the Japanese tanks though. Bought mine yesterday. Like Karakuri Circus, the first four volumes were wonderful. Vol 5 is like the author's taking a break from the heavy story telling, but hey, we get Cinderella making a mockery of Wangan and Initial D, the big bad wolf is really big and bad, while puss in boots is an ally of justice again (seriously, I thought shrek would be the last to use the cat). The cover art is good too, with demented and sinister versions of what looks like Pinocchio, Rottkapchen (think Bulleta), Momotaro, The Little Mermaid and some grandma with a nice red apple.
