GetBackers in English so far
The English edition started with Vol. 1 on Feb 10, 2004 from Tokyopop. In the 4.8 years since, 27 volumes have come out — one about every 2 months on average. Recent volumes have kept close to that pace (about every 2 months).
Japan is at Vol. 39 (Apr 17, 2007), so 12 volumes are already out in Japan but not yet in English. At the current English pace, releasing those would take about 2.1 years.
