Yeah, 10 volumes is a good run for any manga. Even Blade lasted 14 volumes, which is only 4 vols. over the limit, but 4 vols too many for me. What I found with Beyblade is that last 4 vols were hard to find. The series ended, the toyline was finished outside of Japan. The LAST vol was the WORST. I think it came out 4 months or something stupid after vol.13. I hung out and I hung out, in the end my boyfriend ordered it for me. It took so damn long that even my regular comic book store man didn't hold out long enough to get it for me, and he got me vols 11-13 for me.

I myself can't afford to buy One Piece as it is, I have the first 5 vols then had to stop because I knew I didn't have the money to keep this up.
