I read a manga that is a collectors edition. Now the collector editions are still being printed as it's just reprinting the material that is already available. The author for the source material died last year and there has been no announcement as to whether the series will continue or not. It's standard though that if a manga author passes the series ends there.
Would that work or am I stretching it a bit to far?
I think it's fine. As long as the last book in the series was published in 2021. Whether it's because the series wrapped up or the author unfortunately died, either is fine.
I've done 8 prompts and finished 1 series, surprisingly! Lol. No letters yet though.
How is everyone else doing?

Nice job Gord! This one is definitely tougher. I'm at 8 categories filled... and that's it. Lol. Although I have finished 1 series so far!
The spell out has too many of the same letters for me and not the ones I've been reading :P
But I am at
5/15 letters 8/15 prompts
4/5 series complete/UTD
