Turns out I was wrong on this. Volume 1 came out last month and volume 2 is due out next month. It goes by the title Attack on Titan which is... unfortunate because it's a terrible title (it's the engrish subtitle the series has in Japan). Even worse, I actually commented on the terrible title in reply to its license announcement elsewhere.
Edit: For fun I put 進撃の巨人 through google translate and got "Giants Advance" which is a much better name than what it currently has.
I have a question to ask since all of you have a much better understanding of Manga than I do. I've been watching the anime Beelzebub and really want to own the Manga for it. But there appears to be no english copies of Beelzebub in physchical form, I would much rather have it in book form rather than in computer form even if it means paying about £8 a book, does anyone know if it's out in english and where or to explain when or if it has will be released..
Beelzebub hasn't got any official english release. A physical one seems highly unlikely as well. Viz don't seem to care much for releasing comedy mangas and I don't really blame them since it's probably a lot of hard work for little reward as they probably don't sell very well (they stopped publishing Gintama for this reason). It may eventually show up on their digital service Shounen Jump Alpha, but that's US only and probably not very good.
