"Thick as Thieves" manga collection coming to US and Canada this August! (Update)
Update:
The book has now been confirmed for the U.K. (releasing July) and Germany (releasing October). Pre-orders are now available for both locations. The German release is likely taking slightly longer, due to the additional translation work needed to localise these classic stories into German.
As a note - I suspect the U.K. date will shift to match the U.S. date. It’s just a hunch - however, the same thing happened with the first volume, Greatest Heists, so I suspect it will happen here, too.
