Have you forgotten how reluctant Toei is to make their series available anywhere? In all honesty I'm more surprised CR got it for as many places as they did.
I haven't forgotten how much they get off of being utter c'ts, I can tell you that much.

Berserk Manga to Resume After Miura Runs 6-Chapter Mini-Series

Kentarou Miura's Gigantomakhia is set 100 million years in the future
This year's 22nd issue of Hakusensha's Young Animal magazine is announcing on Friday that Kentarou Miura will launch a brand-new original manga mini-series called Gigantomakhia. The six-chapter story is set in a world 100 million years in the future, and it will begin with a 44-page chapter with a color opening page. Young Animal adds that Miura's Berserk manga will resume after his new mini-series.

Hakusensha published the 37th compiled book volume of Berserk in Japan on March 29. Dark Horse Comics will publish the same volume in North America in December. The manga inspired a new movie trilogy from Studio 4°C that Viz Media is releasing in North America.

At least this explains why there hasn't been much progress on the manga, in addition we got the volume reprints this month to keep us amused for the time being.
 
Lucky Star celebrates with it's 10th Manga Volume (yes, the manga series is still continuing) and adds some special covers including one with a crossover from the latest Fate series Kaleid Prisma Illya. Another store chain, Toranoana, will instead bundle a clear file with the Lucky Star cast dressed in tigers kigurumi costumes. (The "tora" in Toranoana is the Japanese word for "tiger.")

Meanwhile, D.Gray Man sold 20 million manga copies and REAL sold 14 million manga copies.

I'm somewhat suspected the 7 volumes we got were not the entirety of the series. Guess we need to wait and hope someone can pick it up (and preferably redo those poorly done early volumes)
 
Sentai Filmworks will be releasing The Pet Girl of Sakurasou: Collection 2, Mardock Scramble: The Third Exhaust, and To Love Ru - Darkness in March 2014. That's one more Kaze title to get some release during the Q2 2014 era.

My crystal ball says Kazé will delay it to Q3 2114.

Seems like most US manga licensors hate license rescues.

Yen & Seven Seas snagged a few choice titles from the ADV/Tokyopop days though. I suppose if anyone would do it, it would be Yen as they are the only ones interested in 4 panel stuff it seems and they do have links with Kadokawa

That was shortly after Tokyopop went down though. If you ask Yen/Seven Seas/Kodansha on social media these days, they all say the same thing about license rescues - they don't like them. I certainly would like to see Yen Press take up the series though.

Series like Lucky Star are worse in that most of it has already been released in the West (8 volumes out of the 10 have been released already).

Could of sworn it was 7, but my bookshelf says 8 :)

That definitely puts it into the probably not zone, though it is out of print and a few other things have been rescued that were 6-8 volumes in.
 
Just a slight correction regarding To Love Ru, it's the first season not the Darkness series that's arriving in March. Sentai have also confirmed it's sub-only for Blu-ray.
