But for some reason, even though Nakamura's manga has just ended in May 2012, the manga has yet to be released in Graphic Novel format. I can't even find it on Amazon Japan.

The first manga covered Aincrad arc, it is only 11 chapters long and doesn't cover Aincrad side stories.
The second manga going to cover Fairy Dance arc.

Will the Aincrad main story covered in 11 episodes as well on the anime, also I wonder if the artist changed due to reader complaints?

wow...the manga art kinda below average...

The art in the manga covering SAO was pretty bad to say the least, the one covering ALO on the other hand is decent.

Neither holds a candle to the 4koma though, those are pure gold

The 4koma helped cement SAO in my mind. XD

The recent issue of the 4-koma is made of win.

That resurrection item chapter. Lol.

Does anyone know how much of the LN (or VN? I forgot) was skipped here?

The manga's following the first light novel more or less faithfully. Ep 2+ were side story prequels.

There never was a Sword Art Online manga, but on a sidenote Namakura Tamako is horrendous as a manga artist

Swimming up Denial isn't healthy.

The art started off pretty nice, but it did take a sharp decline from around chapter 6/7.

I'll take any visual production of the later parts of novel volume 1 at this point; it's gonna be a while before the anime even gets to novel chapter 16. Darn the author and his refusal to make novel illustrations of any bit of KiriAsu in volume 1. >.>

Chapter 7 was fucking good. XD

The Chinese Translation was made BEFORE the Raws came out ROTFL. But yeah, I WANT ENGLISH VERSION TRANSLATION ALREADY. It's hard switching back end forth from the 16.5 rewrite of the Sketch Version and at the same time appreciate the color goodness.

On the other hand, my reaction:

Of course not. But I wouldn't really complain if there wasn't one considering the moral guardians squawking around.
