I will be reading this in the near future but does anyone know why this title was discontinued?
Thanks! 🙂

Not sure... but it looks like the author is trying to finish it. Seems there was an interview in the 9th issue of Shonen Sirius 2010.
「現在、平本アキラ氏は『俺悪』の第1部・完を目指し描きだめ中なのです!」
If anyone wants to translate that... be my guest.

Oooh, then maybe I'll wait for it to be continued. 🙂

Oh, I hope so! I love this manga. It's really too tragic that such an engaging and original story should be discontinued...but I guess Japanese readers might not be interested in stuff like Blues music and the lives of African-Americans back in the day?

It's best not to make assumptions.

I don't think lack of interest is an issue here. Maybe mental block, publishing issues and so on... you know how it goes. 😛
The manga just came back.
I also read EU/US comics and am a librarian.
