Hey there people in the uk, I have some bad news for you I’m afraid.

I used to place a regular order for this magazine at WH Smith, because I work there and it’s easier for me to pick it up there than popping into central London each month.

When I hadn’t recieved 2 months worth of the magazine I phoned Smiths News to see what was going on (because accidents happen and orders can be lost – doesn’t happen often but it’s possible). Smiths News provide magazines to WH Smith, but also to a large number of other shops, newsagents, supermarkets etc.

They told me that it was no longer being published.

Now, I knew this was wrong because I’d seen it in Forbidden Planet where they import magazines and this website’s still showing new issues for sale.

All I can assume is that Smiths News don’t want to source it anymore (I’m guessing it’s just not profitable enough for them). This is going to make it a lot harder to find in the uk now because they supply so many shops.

And we can’t even subscribe here in England to make sure we get it. *sigh*

Anyways, just thought I’d pass it on to you guys in the uk.

I lovelovelove this magazine! and i hope you read these comments ’cause this is a question that needs answered!
The store where i usually buy yen got a new owner and the May edition of yen hasn’t showed up! I have all the magazines so far so it’s devistating missing a single one!
I was wondering if there is a way to order a spacific edition of yen (I’ve ordered the subscription so this horid thing doesn’t happen again but it doesn’t start till JULY!)
I must have MAY! I can’t handle just dealing with “the story so far” blips i want the story i missed!
any advice?????

I gotta admit, I’m facing the same problems as Medusa and Tango, although I’m in the UK. Maybe this issue will appear on the stands this week.

I live in Canada and the May issue STILL hasn’t come out!
I’ve checked 5 stores for 6 WEEKS and the April issue is still on their newsstands .
If it’s not being published in Canada then could someone tell me please, because I will try to subscribe to the magazine if I can to get the latest issues.

I don’t think expressing extreme disappointment is tantamount to whining. YenPlus is profit making venture and I would assume their purpose in having this blog is so that readers (read: the people forking over their hard-earn cash in the midst of a fragile economy) may provide feedback which YenPlus will then use to provide a better product. Also, on the other side of that computer screen is a person. As I’m certain you know, it’s not polite to call people names. Ahem.
So… anyway, I thought we had this worked out, YenPlus! But here we are again. I am unhappy with the rapid turnover and am again reconsidering whether I want to continue to sink close to $10 a month into a marketing tool. I am *definitely* holding off on a subscription. I really enjoy being introduced to new, interesting titles that I might have otherwise missed. (I especially enjoyed the extended preview for Goong.) However, perhaps it would be better to allot space each month for a rotating roster of preview titles, while leaving the long-term titles alone. I have already purchased my June copy and have seen the out-of-the-blue announcement that Sarasah is getting the Great Kiss-off as well. I’m just back to feeling used and taken for a fool for actually paying for what is essentially YenPlus advertising.
I love, love, love this publication and really want to see it continue to succeed. I appreciate you taking the time to listen and respond. Thanks!

Yeah! I can’t wait to start reading Pandora Hearts. Bamboo Blade was okay but not one of my favorites. I’ve seen an episode of the anime and it looks cool.

if only 2-3 series the only draw to mag then why buy it? I find it fine if they switch out the stories after a time if it matches up with the book. I’d just pick up where I left.

if anything, Id like to see some more extras and different columns and articles. this is a mag after all
