Eagle: Japanese Newspaper/Politics Manga

Hey there, I know this isn’t a review, because well, frankly, I don’t have time to write one. But. I think this is something you guys should check out. This manga is called Eagle (イーグル)by Kaiji Kawaguchi, and it follows a Japanese news reporter who is covering a Japanese-American senator’s run for the presidency. It’s set in the timeframe of the 2000 presidential elections and features such characters as Bill Clydon (Clinton) and Al Noah (Gore). Especially if you’re familiar with American politics, this is a very interesting manga, and it has a lot to do with newspaper, which is the theme of the week.
I first read this in English, before my Japanese was good enough, but now I’m looking forward to reading it in Japanese. Unfortunately, I don’t know where to find it online. Can somebody help me?
Here’s a link to buy it in English. And you can find scattered volumes in Japanese here .
If you know any better place to obtain these, let me know.
