Toward the end, English volumes came out about every 2 months. The last English volumes came out about 2.9 years after Japan's. How we predict

Zatch Bell! in English so far

The English edition started with Vol. 1 on Aug 2, 2005 from Viz Media. In the 4.4 years since, 28 volumes have come out — one about every 2 months on average. Recent volumes have kept close to that pace (about every 2 months).

The Japanese edition has 33 volumes, all published before the English edition stopped, so the two editions may simply split the story into different volumes.
