Battle Angel Alita: Mars Chronicle in English so far

The English edition started with Vol. 1 on Jan 23, 2018 from Kodansha USA. In the 8.1 years since, 11 volumes have come out — one about every 10 months on average. The pace has slowed lately: recent volumes have come out about every 1.2 years. The longest wait was 2.2 years, between Vol. 6 and Vol. 7.

English has caught up with Japan (Vol. 11), so each new English volume now waits for the next Japanese one.
