Would the City Hunter manga not be exported anymore?


I've read the city hunter manga, which has about 193 chapters. But there are
only 136 chapters available in my _country_. Did they stop translation and
distribution of the rest of the chapters in foreign countries?




[_City Hunter_ on Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_Hunter) says
there are 35 Volumes to the series originally running in Japan from 1985 to
1991/1992.

on the [List of
Chapters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_City_Hunter_chapters) the
final volume came out in April 1992 however chapter information stops at
Volume 26 with Chapter 137 saying _"(incomplete)"_ and with the inconsistent
number of chapters per volume it's hard to extrapolate how many chapters there
was by Volume 35. this relates to the Japanese release

the English Release appears to have more chapters per volume with Volume 5
ending at _Chapter 44 - Gambling Queen_ , however judging by the names of
chapters in the English version it appears some of the Japanese Chapters were
split, such as _Volume 4: Chapter 15 - A Lame Teacher_ in the Japanese version
appears to match with the English Version's _Chapters 29-31 - The Wacky
Professor Part 1-3_. As there are no ISBN numbers for the English Version
after Volume 5 one can assume there are no Legal English versions released
beyond Volume 5.

On _City Hunter's_ Wikipedia Page, inside the right side info box under
English publisher it says

> NA Gutsoon! Entertainment (incomplete, defunct)

looking at [Gutsoon! Entertainment's Wikipedia
Page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gutsoon!_Entertainment) it says

> On March 15, 2004, Gutsoon! announced that they will be placing their Rajin
> Comics brand on hiatus. **Raijin Comics ceased publication with its July
> 2004 issue (issue #46) and the Raijin Graphic Novels line was subsequently
> cancelled as well.**

this is also confirmed on _City Hunter's_ Wikipedia Page

> Attempts were made to license the series for the American comic market
> during the 1980s; however, Hojo insisted the manga should be released in the
> right-to-left format. In 2002 Coamix created an American subsidiary,
> Gutsoon! Entertainment. City Hunter was a flagship title in their Raijin
> Comics Anthology. Raijin switched from a weekly format to a monthly format
> before being cancelled after 46 issues.

In these magazine serializations in Japan a Manga Series is generally released
a chapter at a time in each issue so the 44 Chapters of the English Version
run close to the 46 Issues of _Raijin Comics_

As for other countries there doesn't seem to be any data for their release
however the Wikipedia page may only be detailing the original Japanese release
and English because it itself is in English as [Anime News
Network](https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=1593) list
other countries that the manga series has been published in, however as i
don't know any other languages getting data from another Language's Wikipedia
will be a bit harder.

From the data we have on Wikipedia for _City Hunter_ we can say that only up
to _Volume 5: Chapter 22 - The Game's Queen_ was officially localized in
English as _Chapter 44 - Gambling Queen_. any other chapters in english that
are floating around on the internet i would suspect to be scanlations.

scanlation status is not on topic here on Anime and Manga as such you probably
wont find any information here as to any announcement by the scanlation circle
why they have stopped, however possible reasons could be due to

  * Lack of access to the Raw Japanese Manga
  * Lack of Staff (scanlation circles shouldn't be profiting so the staff only works when they have the time)
  * Being told to stop by the publishers/mangaka (has happened if i recall, just not sure on the title) 
  * Just a lack of interest in the series, this can be combined with Lack of Staff as Staff can leave individually when they lack interest.
