While I have no idea where you can buy Manga in Singapore, the Shugogetten Manga is split into 2 parts.

The old Manga which ran on Gan Gan and the new one that's still running in Comic Blade.

The Gan Gan on had 11 volumes and if I remember correctly, it ran from 1993 to 1999. The story stopped without ever being finished since the artist (Sakurano Minene) went off to do another series (Healing Planet) instead and never picked it up again afterwards. Raijin Comics is also serializing this serie in English, last I heard they're up to volume 6 or so and have released 1 graphical novel. If you understand Chinese, all 11 volumes have been translated already years ago.

As for the new one running on Comic Blade, it is still by the original artist, only she changed the art style. The 3rd volume is coming out in January 2004 in Japan while the Chinese translation is still stuck on volume 1. No sight of any English translations.

Info as in? If you want information regarding the story and all, just do a search online. There're lots of sites (most dead) on Shugogetten, and there is one particular one that's called Shugogetten Encyropedia or something which has nearly anything you can think of on the series, although it only covers up to the beginning of the OVA series.

I have all 11 of the Japanese Mamotte Shugogetten manga and the ending is really abrupt. I haven't heard much of Healing Planet other than a few images, it looked somewhat interesting. I like Joushuutouzoku Aratamekata Hinagiku Kenzan! now that's a pretty manga! ^_^ I think it ran for five volumes?

The "ending" in volume 11 isn't really an ending. Minene just stopped working on Getten (there was a rather interesting rumor regarding why this happened), went off to Healing Planet (which lastest just a year) then went all silent until she restarted Getten in Comic Blade.

That's what I meant.
