I'm referring to the manga [Satisfaction
Guaranteed](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satisfaction_Guaranteed_%28manga%29)
by Ryo Saenagi. I came across this manga quite a few years ago, and really
loved it! I bought the first 7 volumes in English, which are distributed by
Tokyopop. When I was finished reading them I tried to find volume 8 on Amazon,
but didn't have any luck. I searched and found that, in Japanese, [nine
volumes](http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=5299&page=28)
were released to complete the series. But I couldn't find them in English
anywhere.

I come back to this problem every couple of years and do a search in hope that
something has changed, but I still can never find volumes 8 or 9. Does anyone
have any idea what happened to this manga? If it really was never released in
English beyond volume 7, as seems to be the case, then it seems the best I
could hope for is to buy the volumes in Japanese and find a translation
somewhere on the internet. If anyone knows where I can find such a thing, I'd
greatly appreciate it.

question
satisfaction-guaranteed
Was anything past volume 7 ever released in English?


As [@Krazer](https://anime.stackexchange.com/users/63/krazer) [mentioned
above](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/3306/satisfaction-guaranteed-
was-anything-past-volume-7-ever-released-in-english#comment2533_3306),
_Satisfaction Guaranteed_ was one of the projects that
[Tokyopop](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyopop) was publishing. However, in
2011, the company was shut down, and the publishing of the project went along
with it.

[Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satisfaction_Guaranteed_\(manga\)#Manga)
cites volume 7 as being the last (English) release as of July 31, 2010.
According to AnimeNewsNetwork, there is a [theoretical volume
8](http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/releases.php?id=11625) in
English; however, that information was posted prior to the suggested release
date of the volume, and it appears to have never come to fruition.

So it does seem that volume 7 is the last official English version. You'll
probably have better luck looking for a Chinese or Japanese version (even
English fan translations past volume 3 appear to be scarce*).
