Huh, why keep cancelled series on an ongoing print if there aren't any new volumes? :|

Beats me, but they keep assuring people they won't let those series get out of print.

Nope, some of them (volumes 5, 9 and 11) were out of print for quite a while, but they've since been reprinted. Wish I knew that before I had to buy them used.

Since this thread is already pretty much about colors, I might as well ask my question here rather than open a new thread for a question that may be quickly answered.

Do we know why the bicolors pages had the red and the (dark) yellow chosen as the two colors to keep?
Was it because they were the easiest ink colors to get for Jump somehow?
Was it because it makes a visually striking combination?
Was it because those colors are deemed the best possible choice to fit a lot of elements regardless of the story (skin, fire...) with grey deemed better to mimic blue/green?

Just got my hands on this.

These are absolutely gorgeous. The color palette is just astounding, the detail is great, it's just so good. I will be very, very, very saddened if the rest of the series isn't released like this here. I very well may have to end up importing it or obtain it by other means.The only flaw I see is that for some reasons some of the ki attacks are the wrong colors, but that could just be because that's how the anime had it (i'm pretty certain Kamehameha's are actually supposed to be blue, though)

Is there some email address for viz customer feedback or something so that we can let them know that we really want the rest of these released?

And what about the digital versions? I know these were released digitally, does viz offer the rest of the series in color digitally, or like print, does it only go up to the end of the saiyan saga? I also asked a while ago if anybody knows what the native resolution of the digital manga is, but I have yet to get an answer.

The Kamehameha is blue in the anime. Even in the original manga run, color pages with the Kamehameha was a whitish yellow color. It was blue in the anime and thats it.

Ah, okay. I figured that might be the case, but I wasn't sure.
