so how many are "officially" dead

[komugi_aikuchi]

ok ... so how many manga stories are "officially dead" or "dropped" here on Death Toll Scans

series like "Sprite" ... and others, that have not been worked on in close to a year or much more

yeah I know about all of the standard excuses ....................... so what is the actual "REAL" reason some series seem to have been dropped ?
