Hey there. Thermae Romae was finally scanned, so I'll be dumping it for those who are unaware (and possibly never even read before). Got a few OVA episodes.
>When Roman architect Lucius is criticized for his "outdated" thermae designs, he retreats to the local bath to collect his thoughts. All Lucius wants is to recapture the Rome of earlier days, when one could enjoy a relaxing bath without the pressure of merchants and roughhousing patrons. Slipping deeper into the warm water, Lucius is suddenly caught in the suction and dragged through the drainage at the bottom of the bath! He emerges coughing and sputtering amid a group of strange-looking foreigners with the most peculiar bathhouse customs...over 1,500 years in the future in modern-day Japan! His contemporaries wanted him to modernize, and so, borrowing the customs of these mysterious bath-loving people, Lucius opens what quickly becomes the most popular new bathhouse in Rome-Thermae Romae!
The author has an adaptation of Steve Jobs' biography in serialization as well. You can find scans of that online if you're interested.
Because of moot's 60 second bullshit, dumping all 1200 pages of this would take me like 20 hours, and each volume will take 1 1/2 threads. I'll post as much as I can. You can get the scans from kitty's blog/ftp.
kitty's blog / the ftp*
v2 and v3 are being uploaded.
American publishers don't give a fuck that their publications got scanned?
In other news, a Macross Frontier doujinshi by Dowman Sayman was translated by a kind OKTF.
>>112043925
Obviously, they do. If you like it, buy it, etc. The Thermae Romae releases were pretty nice, but large hardcovers will run you $20 each.
>>112044033
I meant in a way that how the hell their blogs are still not C&Ded after so much manga scanned. This makes me paranoid, so I archive almost everything they do. And I never mention where I get these scans in fear that it'll get more popular and thus get more attention.
>>112043983
I hope he'll get a spot in some other magazine. Can't believe Nickelodeon and Voynich are ending.
>>112044113
Voynich is ending?
>>112044113
Yeah, Dowman's two primary serializations ending so close to each other is pretty disappointing. Especially Nick, an anthology of oneshots by an artist known for oneshots. He said he has plans for a new serialization next year, though, so that's nice. He still has irregular serializations (Oddman 11, Ayame, Suicide Parabellum). He also has a new oneshot out with his current doujinshi circle, but I haven't bought it yet.
As for the blog, no idea. Just keep it on the downlow, but KTK seems fairly well-known by now. Hopefully they keep backups - I might start archiving it myself just in case. I think most of it can be found on BakaBT, though. Keep circulating those torrents.
>>112043701
kitty's blog gets too many hits on google, could you be more specific?
Finally, I've been waiting for the last volume to get scanned. Also fuck moot for post timers, shitposting sure decreased right.
>>112044221
OH SHI
V3 is finally scanned?
fuck year, now i can finish this glorious manga even when it seems to bejust wrapping up the love story thing
>>112044945
Please don't tell me that is all.
>Mfw I was half expecting him to show up in a female onsen. Then wacky antics.
Still great tho.
Whenever I see this manga it makes me play Ceasar
>>112045222
Sim games are best games. I've been leaning more towards grand strategy lately, though.
>>112045251
Grand Strategy is great too but It doesn't give me the satisfaction of building your own city and looking at it as it grows bigger and bigger.
Also try Phroah too If you haven't already
I would like to dump Mizuki Shigeru sometime soon as well, but so little of his stuff is translated. Guess I can post Street of Mysteries.
>>112045295
Pharaoh was years ago for me, but I should replay it.
Holy crap, this is amazing. I've been waiting for scans for a while. A local Kinokuniya has them but they're really fucking pricey.
>>112045222
Whenever I see this manga it reminds me of Hyouge Mono, because tea and bath are wonderful together.
Scanlation fucking never.
>>112045484
;_; Maybe someday. I might just commission the chapter that covers the last episode someday.
>>112045484
;_; Never lose hope friend
Fucking beautiful scans. Ty OP
Is it true that the US version released the two volume of japanese edition as a single volume?
>>112045560
I'd clean and typeset and shit if we actually had a dedicated translator. But these are rare animal in this place.
>>112045593
My hope was that it would become popular and we get some scanlation ongoing. But we all remember how it ended. Man, those rare threads about new episode subbed by Doremi was one of most happiest times I had here.
>>112045750
Yes, each US volume has two of the original Japanese volumes in it. There are 6 Japanese volumes in total, and 3 US ones.
>>112045750
Yes.
>>112045752
Hyouge Mono fans are cool. Surprised it even got 3k downloads per episode.
>>112045609
>yaranaika
>>112045878
This page is fucking gold, all of it.
>>112045784
3k? Aw shit. I only remember that there were at best 200-300 leechers per episode.
>>112046007
Oh god he's gonna learn about the future of exfoliating.
There were some additional OVAs, like learning about the wonders of an iPhone, but I haven't seen those.

>Monkey came back with him.
>Just fuckin chillin.
This is great. I want more.
I've never heard of this and you'd think the premise, time traveling Roman bath fetishist, would suck - but this is great. I'm actually fascinated by it, very interesting Manga. Thanks for sharing.
>>112043701
>FTP now needs you to fucking register on IRC
>Kitty's blog is so fucking vague it's impossible to find
Great stuff. I was looking forward to reading this given the anime was entertaining a couple of years back, too.
>HBO Rome only got 2 seasons
>>112046394
Vague for sure. I didn't even knew they had an IRC channel or ftp till now.
>>112046394
FTP anon was getting hit pretty hard, had to throttle it somehow. Someone posted a link elsewhere and suddenly 2 terabytes were moved in a few days.KicktheKitty
>>112046602
Ah, he was talking about that FTP.
Well, no wonder, actually. Shit got leaked even on earlier stages of its development, and now it has MT backup.
>>112046602
Yeah, I figured it out eventually.
The whole FTP was a terrible idea anyway, there's a reason this shit used to be done with torrents.
>>112046699
Whoops.
>>112046699
It's just a temporary situation for sharing manga. I myself would like some torrents so we're not running some poor anon high bills.
>>112046699
Terrible or not, but at least I got last two volumes of DMC from it. And 10 volumes of Excel in shitty quaity.
>>112046854
I'd like to scan Excel Saga. Apparently someone else was doing it before, but they disappeared with the scans.
>>112046924
are they going tobang
>>112046950
I heard this story, though it was quite vague. Either that particular someone got fucked by Viz and his scans were erased at the speed of light or he just simply disappeared. Dude who was about to do some photos of all 27 volumes so I could transcribe them and typeset on raws disapperead too.
>>112047256
>average Japanese reaction to gaijin
Great thread though, thanks OP
I passed this thread once and skipped it because I thought from the OP pic it's some kind of typical gay manga featuring in rome or something,then I actually got interested when I googled the name.
Apparently it's been made into film several times,anyone know if they are any good ? Or is it the usual 3D disgusting adaptation ?
>>112047229
>italians are loose with the concept of time
The truth hurts me.

That just sound like a good trait when you're meeting with them.

>>112047318

One of my favourite things about this is how the MC isn't really that good at what he does. Few things bothers me like OCs being more proficient than RL masters.
>>112047401
>>112047425
Best set of pages in the whole manga.
>>112047697
You know that page always bothered me. I'm pretty sure the romans didn't have clear glass.
>>112048313
Romans had clear glass ~100 CE.
>>112048313
Clear glass was discovered around 100 CE
>>112048313
It was actually developed around the time of Hadrian.
>>112048382
>>112048373
Yea I realized I mixed it up with glass clear enough for telescopes

Haven't read it all, just a few pages in the thread, while trying to wait and see if you needed a few pages TL of something/help ITT.
But yeah, translating this seems like a real task, and it doesn't seem shoddy, so commendable.voucher guy btw, have just been lurking threads while being busy as of late, in case something pops up.

Wasn't a huge fan of the way it turned into a love story in the last volume, but aside from that it's pretty solid.
Plus it's funny that the author is a Jap who married an Italian man.

We had a Thermae romae dump a few months back. I really enjoyed it, as I've never read the full series.
The anon that was posting it stopped at volume two, so I will surely watch these threads and finally read it all.
>>112050198
oh my...
>>112050198
dammit, Hadrian
>>112050198
>shoujo misunderstandings
>>112049341
Ah, yeah, I can tell who you are. Thanks again for your translation. I'll ask someone to typeset it once Batoto is back up. I'm not sure what dead scanlation I could dump next, but if you're looking for something to translate, I have plenty of those short oneshots.
I think the Latin translations were from LAT->JP-ENG, rather than LAT->ENG.

Although, since you're here, maybe you can offer a little input on the translation of the piece that you just did.
>Clan Clan's Jar (or Pot)
>? can also mean "target" or "acupuncture point"
However, I have no idea what title I should go with. I'd have to reread it again, but the oneshot didn't really make any sense. It seemed to be a setup for a visual pun.
>>112050277
>LAT->JP-ENG
That's what I was guessing.
Yeah, just said 'voucher guy', since last time I added the trip I forgot to take it off, thus adding a list of off-topic/Non-TL replies to the archives.
I only really add it when making threads or posting a line of TLs that could need it.
Of course I don't use it when helping out in threads, like when Mamare showed up.
Now that you know me I'll just avoid it.
Especially since I don't have much time these days and don't want people to expect things, ha.
>>112050433
As my friend Reggie once said, in his immortal words,
>that bitch is a bitch
>>112050545
>Clan Clan's Jar (or Pot)
>? can also mean "target" or "acupuncture point"
What?
I don't remember anything like that.
Is this about Witch Girl?
>>112050611
Yeah. First page, small title on the bottom.

They've been professional soldiers protecting the peace of Rome for 25 years, they don't ruin shit.
>>112050821
>>112050643
As in, this; http:/dic.nicovideo.jp/a/???????
>>112050821
Clan Clan is her name. However, I don't remember "pot" being part of her name.
My confusion comes from how the title relates to the story, and what title to use. I guess there was a jar somewhere in the story.
>>112050915
Rich words coming from someone always crashing the Jap's relaxation. But I'm guessing that's what this chapter will be about, how different bathing cultures clash out of ignorance. I'm guessing he'll make a Germanic-friendly section, or perhaps educate them in the art of Roman bathing.,
>>112050876
Let me look at the page since I overlooked it I guess, thought you were just confused at the sequence since you didn't screenshot the rest, but that part is just 'Clan Clan's xxxx', ??? doesn't just mean jar/vase/pot.
>>112050856
All they knew how to do was fight, that's the problem.
>>112051034
Yeah, it seemed weird, hence my asking. Thanks.
>>112051037
They know how to bathe, just not how to bathe the Roman way. Someone's gonna have to teach them, how else would they know? Tolerance, patience, understanding, surely these are vital to fostering a peaceful bathing environment.
Shouldn't he be rich and successful? He invented a lot of shit, he worked with the emperor. Why is he still a common plumber?
>>112051169
that bath house is not a common one, hundreds years old bath house from the republic time dude...
>>112051122
Okay great, can't find the file here to look at the bottom.
Anyway, it could also mean 'hitting the mark (of a subject)', (not) getting something the way it's meant, etc.
Even though I don't know what the other half is, that seems a likely contender.
>>112050739
>there will never be any doujins about Diana getting sold into slavery
Feels bad man.
>>112051079
>>112051162
okay who are they "germanic" guysRus? Slav?
>>112051218
The bath house he made in the first chapter was extremely popular, he invented private baths and worked with the emperor. That alone should ensure that 7 generations of children shouldn't have to work a day.
>>112051221
My bad.
http://i.imgur.com/b0SSHmO.png
Bottom half is just the author name.
>>112051289
Well, germans. Or dutch. Or any other white rae from the north of the roman empire.
>>112051289
They look like Hell's Angels or something, but there's no reason to find those in Japan.
>>112051299
he did it himself due to respect of the old traditional bath house.
>>112051169
Maybe he enjoy working? And now that he have no family to take care of he need to do something to keep his mind off it.
>>112051316
Crap, sorry.
Made you screenshot for nothing, I should've just noticed the bottom the first time around.
You could TL it as 'Clan Clan/Kuran Kuran's deduction'.
Not fully on the markheh, but good.

Don't know where that 'not' came from, probably part of captcha.
Anyway, if there's something else, mention it.
I'll have to go in a second.
Oh and when you find a typesetter, mention it, and I'll QC it again/go over it together to get your desired end-product.
I'll be lurking in these threads plenty, even if I'm busy.
>>112051289

Thanks for the update on the v3. I wish there were more roman stuff or even more European historical stuff in general.
For anyone who likes this kind of thing I strongly recommend Historie. It's about a "greek" who becomes a secretary for Philip II, Alexander the great's father. Really good.
