More Takahashi.

Caught up with the latest Apocalypse no Toride chapter. Was going to start reading some Black Knight Story, which Hox did a little while back.

Waiting for more Mob I suppose.

Hoping for some more Jiro Taniguchi. I wonder if my local library is going to have the last volume of Summit of the Gods anytime soon. My Father's Almanac needs someone working on it as well. I'd love to see some more Susumu Katsumata in English. He has some other stuff published in French I think, but no scanlations certainly.

hoping Cupid no Itazura Nijidama is actually picked up this time and not another 700 day tease.

Still waiting for v19 tank raws of Dorohedoro.

I really need to catch up on dorohedoro, i'm like 10 chapters behind, has it been good? Should i wait for the end?

>>113084621
I'd probably just wait till the end, but the ending has been rather delayed.

>>113080737
Where is the other leg?

File: Otomen_v01_p039.png (3MB, 2819x4400px) Image search: [Google]

3MB, 2819x4400px

Picked up Otomen since I'm trying to read more shoujo. I'm somewhere between a third and halfway through.

It's not bad, but it stretches itself too thin. Instead of developing existing characters, the mangaka just keeps introducing new otomen and while the concept wasn't bad in the beginning, now it feels stale and redundant.

There's no romance, since the main couple is a couple in name only, and the single potential secondary couple that showed up only got a single appearance so far. I hoped that with the multitude male characters it would have a lot of background romance, which is something I'm really fond of, but instead it's just a sausagefest.

Also, to be honest, it feels rather hypocritical - it's okay if you're an otomen, and have girly hobbies or whatever - but ONLY if you're ALSO strong and tall and manly at the same time. The only otomen who didn't have those qualities is not only pretty much a joke character, he ends up getting NTRed, too. I guess it's realistic, but still, bitches and whores, man. I hope it doesn't continue in that vein.

>>113084621
I'm 10-15 chapters behind too. Decided to wait for the end and then reread the whole series.
One of the best ongoings.

>>113082428
That was slightly more horrific than I'd imagined.

>>113084904
>sausagefest
>bitches and whores
You're not really making a good case for me. I was actually considering reading it recently. Oh well.

>>113086202
Well, the bitches and whores bit was more in jest and about the mangaka rather than the girls in this. Well, other than the protagonist's mother, that one is a manipulative bitch of the highest caliber.

But yeah, if you're reading it for the girls you'll be disappointed - the main girl has some great moments, but even she doesn't appear much, and the other ones are completely forgettable side characters that barely show up.

Maybe it will change in the second part, we'll see.

That said, for shoujo it's not exactly bad - I can't bring myself to even read bad shoujo pas a volume or two, while this was reasonably entertaining.

>>113084621
>end
What's up with everything ending all at once recently? And it's all series I never got around to picking up.

Guess I'll have a lot of marathoning to do soon.

>>113088701
I think it's just you. I don't think I've had many series at all end on me. Except maybe Nickelodeon thanks to that Ikki magazine shutting down.

>>113089212
Wait. Nickelodeon is over? The last chapter was the space one?

>>113089212
Naruto, Kuroko no Basket, Koe no Katachi, Dorohedoro, Claymore...

I mean mostly longer running/popular series like those.

>>113089449
Two more I think.

>>113089613
That's rather saddening. I liked it. Does this mean we'll get more Oddman 11 though?

Thanks.

I picked up a couple long shounen series to tide me over during the Fukumoto drought. I'm really liking all of them so far. Also, volume 4 of What Did You Eat Yesterday just arrived in the mail, so I'm looking forward to some more cute gay shit.
I really want to see more scans of Jin. It sucks since EGScans is a very consistent group, but they're too busy working on webtoons to release chapters more than about once a month.

>>113084621

Dorohedoro is still ongoing (got moved to another magazine), so you might be waiting a while if you're want it to finish first.

I don't think I've ever seen Little Forest mentioned on /a/.

Maybe for the best, because it might trick hapless anons into moving out to the countryside and becoming farmers.

Great stuff.

You should check the archives first. Igarashi Daisuke is fairly well known. I didn't realize that was finished, though, so I'll read it.

>>113082428

Forgot about that. I don't think it has scans, though.

>>113098353
Taniguchi got a lot of releases in Italy. No wonder since he took great inspiration from Vittorio Giardino.
We got Chichi no Koyomi too but I still have to read it. I wish I wasn't a poor neet.

>>113098353

I haven't seen any on Share, etc. so you're probably right. Someone should scan it.

>>113099571

Fucking Italy. Well, that's good that you have such a diverse market.

Oh, yeah, Tokyo Killers should be Hotel Harbour View plus another story or two, I don't remember. All hard boiled, though.

>>113099948

Nice. He needs more scanlations. Maybe someday.

Finally getting around to reading Voynich Hotel (Dowman Sayman).

>>113095986

Does anyone know if Bastard!! has resumed publication?

>>113081086
>>113099571
All this Taniguchi talk made me check what else he has published in my country(I already own Fuyu no Doubutsuen) and apparently Kodoku no Gourmet is coming out in a couple months. Definitely going to buy that, since I wanted to read it for a long time.

>>113101934

I doubt it, the artist gets tired easily. He may very well be working on the next chapter, but I don't think it's been published. Who knows.

>>113102818
Isn't he redrawing the old volumes?
Who gives a shit anyway, I prefer the old art an after volume 7 or 8 it goes to shit.

>>113103100
>redrawing the old volumes?

I was unaware of this. Is that why there are like 3 editions lately?

Started Ateya no Tsubaki again since it got picked up by a new group. Really funny that it got from Batoto on the grounds of being "borderline hentai", yet you don't see any genitals and the sex scenes aren't the focus, the psychosexual violence that follows them and the subsequent investigation by the MCs is. Shit, even I'm not that prudish, this is ridiculous.

The series itself is interesting mainly both due to the atypical MC who is a semi-misogynistic and borderline asexual shunga artist, aand the historical Edo period setting. The female MC is also nice, she's not archetypical and has an existence that doesn't depend on the MC. While the subject matter is bleak, lighter moments also exist so it balances out.

Only complaint I have is the character design for the females. Every single one of them has big tits and asses but we all know that this isn't the case in any country, let alone old Japan. The character interactions and the atmosphere feel natural but those designs sot of degrade that.

Hopefully new chapters won't take long.

New Ika Musume chapter when? I'm guessing the /a/ team needs staff (or just lazy).

>>113103141
Are you Italian too, by chance? We have the normal edition, the "collector" edition (or whatever it is called and then the Kanzenban, for wich I'm pretty sure Hagiwara is redrawing the old volumes.

>>113103942
Just do the same I did and only read it every 50 chapters or so.

Makes all the manga with short chapters and slow releases more bearable.

>>113104101

Nah, just an interested 'Murrican reader. I was browsing Amazon JP to see if there's any indication of it picking up again.

Any comparison shots of the Kanzenban edition?

>>113103942
Is the project still directed by that Vert fag? I've heard he's unsufferable from an anon that left the project.
>>113104155
I remember seeing something but I don't have them.

>>113104277

Vert doesn't do anything, he just hangs out in IRC. It just so happens that members of his little group are working on Ika.

>>113104331
That anon said he directs the whole thing and acts like the boss.

>>113105092

Well, that's just from my personal experience. He hardly even posts in the IRC, and Ika scanlations are mostly autonomous (TL is posted whenever it's done, editors get to work whenever they feel like it, and the chapters are posted).

>>113080737
Picked the fuck up

I caught up to Berserk last night. I'm also trying to push myself through SZS but I'm having a really hard time getting interested in it. I don't want to spoil myself on the ending though. I've managed to avoid them since the manga ended.

Other than that I picked the series that are getting anime next season.

Thank fuck. I was worried for a couple days.

>>113105914
The first and Zoku.

>>113106320
SZS kinda requires you to at least care about Japanese culture, if not necessarily be knowledgeable about it - basically, you have to be THIS weeaboo to get on this ride. Unless you're just in it for the girls.

Watch the rest of the anime, it's all good and I think easier to get into than the manga - you can then skip the manga chapters covered by the anime and read the rest if you still care.

I'm pulling a bunch of Takahashi Yousuke from Share. Surprised that his older anthologies are available in decent resolutions (1600px and so).

>>113106525
I guess my weaboo levels are low and it's not like I'm not interested in Japanese culture. I did get some laughs out of the first 20 chapters.

>>113096890
I posted it and dumped some. Dead thread though. Nutella was amusing. Can't believe it got a live action though.

There are reasons why dumping manga ends up as dead threads almost every time now. Fucking moot.

That's only half of the problem. Other half is 60 second posting cooldown. Fuck, I still remember when 4chan X suddenly broke in the middle of my story time thread when faggot implemented this shit. That's the main reason why they started to die off.
Once anon was dumping all 3 volumes of Oyaji for straight 7 or so hours with short breaks. That was really awesome, but we won't see this anyore unless OP has a jewpass.

Are there any irc channels for raw manga?

>>113118384
Only for shit-tier amounts mostly. Raw distro had a bot with some amount of raw manga.

>>113118364
I haven't dumped more than 50 pages at a time since the new timer. I did a couple volumes before that.

>>113104497
>Natsu no Zenjitsu
There's only like a chapter left or something isn't there? Although, I'm not sure I even want to know.

>>113118364

Storytime threads pretty much require a jewpass. No one wants to babysit a thread and type captchas for 5 hours.

>>113118457
That's sad. Around 95% of links around the web are fucked off by DMCA already.
I decided to archive some complete magazine scans yesterday, but it was nothing but pain and suffering to obtain them. And in the end, it didn't even worth is since everything I got was speedscans without any bonus pages and even the cover.

>>113118719

There are plenty of raw sites with working links. Raw-zip and rawcs are my go-to. Otherwise I just scrape Share (I'd use PD but it doesn't have trigger downloads).

>>113118717
I'd be more interested at failing miserably at writing a captcha solver than buying a pass.

>>113118766
I was mostly referring to complete magazine scans. Raw-zip and rawcs are updating their links once new volume is out.
Both PD and Share don't want to work on my ISP, unfortunately.

>>113118832

Well, that one anon has been doing storytime like every other day for the past year, i'd say he got his $10 worth (pass has been on sale a few times)

>>113118874

Unfortunately if you want guaranteed complete scans for a magazine you might have to buy it yourself or ask someone else to scan it

Reading Giant Killing.
It's the best soccer manga I've ever read. Actually it's the only good soccer manga I've ever read.

Anyone interested in working on Joshi Kausei? It's a free web manga that Crunchy decided to jew, so the current scanlator dropped it. Web raws, 2150px png, very little text to translate and it looks easy to edit.

>>113118952

Haha, yeah, like there'll be someone who'd willingly and properly scan ~800 pages of shit paper monthly.

What else are you ripping?

>>113119323
It rips everything as it comes out. Every hour. It even was sneaky enough to get Onikirimaru before it got paylocked not long after. I just wrote some php that runs on a free server.

>>113119357

God bless. I wish there were a way to see recent uploads.

It sounds more like classical sports drama. Nothing against this, but I've read a lot of that stuff already.

Not that guy, but it looks like it. Onikirimaru rips are up there.

Is there a download manager that works with the FTP? I don't want to download 500 files at once, I just don't want to click on links for an hour.

>>113119538
Yeah, I didn't want to put it anywhere else otherwise the directories might move around or something. Just don't want it to break randomly cause setting everything up is a pain.

If you want some, atypical sports manga, read Hanaotoko?

>>113120204
Looks like a different encryption scheme than the online reader. It looks doable, and it might give better images even, but I probably won't have time to work on it for a while.

>>113120603
I can make a throwaway mail account if in case you'd need me to upload other manga if you want.
Well, if you'll feel like working on it, obviously.

>>113120711
The file's already given me more than enough info. It looks practically the same as the online reader, except they've applied one extra step on top I think. It's more a matter of breaking apart the android app to see how it applies the encryption.

I just read Scientia by Toda Seiji. Nice collection of short stories. The character designs remind me of another mangaka, but I can't place who. Toyoda Tetsuya maybe?

>>113121583
I'm still not sure if I have the masochism to read it. I'll decide if/when it's ever done.

>>113121583
He's always been slow as fuck. For past year there was like what, 4-6 chapters?

>>113121590
I loved it as well. I somewhat agree about the remark on Toyoda Tetsuya. Wish there was some more Toda Seiji actually.

Finally got round to the latest chapter of I Am a Hero; what the fuck is going on with all these strange zombie variants?

I finished SZS last night, took my time with it and somehow avoided spoilers as much as I could. The OPs make so much fucking sense now. There was a lot of fluff in the 30 volumes but it was an overall nice read.

I wish more stuff by him would get scanned as well. It's a disappointing feeling to find a new mangaka you enjoy, only to see that they barely have anything scanned.

It especially kills me for some of the artists from ages ago. Some of the old gekiga guys. Wish someone would finish more of Tsuge's works and finish Munou no Hito. And I wish there was some more Susumu Katsumata. At least Red Snow was scanned.

>>113122175
You can ask Elemhunter, scanning shit is his hobby.

Catching up with the latest chapter of UDDUP. I just wish it could end. I remember loving the heck out of this series, but it's just been going for so long now. Really kills the excitement.

I guess I missed the Genshiken thread. Dat Keiko

>>113123780
I've been putting off Genshiken for ages. Scanlation just finished for Gonensei by the same author. Was thinking about reading the series.

>>113121583
I'm kinda worried about Lau to be honest.

>>113123980
The two series are kind of similar in that they're both about college age young adults growing up, but tonally they're shockingly different. Both are worth a read though.

Began reading Ookiku Furikabutte, i'm really liking the character, but wish the art was better, is even hard to distinguish characters due same face.

There was this one manga i was reading way long ago. It was basically about some dude who was re incarnated from some super mage who disappeared. And he had this hot bitch lusting after at what she thought was the super mage, only to find its MC. Basically i dropped it because apparently there was no hope of it ever getting more scans because of licensing or some shit.

This is probably a good thread to ask:

I am thinking about finishing The World is Mine. The plan is to buy the French volumes, translate them and use jap raws for the scanlation. So far I've obtained raws for all volumes and I am planning on ordering the untranslated in English volumes from Amazon.fr. I am looking for a skilled typesetter who is willing to do all 4 volumes by himself. I am going to do all editing and whatnot, so it's really just placing text in bubbles.

>>113133889
>just placing text in bubbles
Once you start doing this shit you get to realize that it's not that simple.

>>113133938
Oh wait, I didn't notice "skilled". Just wanted to point out that typesetting should never be advertised as "just placing text in bubbles".

>>113133938
>>113134089
It's piss easy for anyone skilled, especially with the help of tools like Typesetter and Photoshop actions. I'd do it myself but it's tedious and time-consuming, and I just can't be arsed. In the end, I will just take my time and release all four volumes for Christmas.

>>113134106

I wish that shit got an update. Most of times I had to rename the folder with it just to make it work again.

How are you ripping them?

Kindle images in English are pretty reasonable. Although they're a bit variable. Sometimes they have like 99% jpeg, other times like 80 or worse. Older volumes at worst are like this size. They have 1400px wide sometimes. Kobo is about the same. Sometimes slightly better, but very bizarre leveling sometimes, although easily fixed.

It's SoL but it's also way more eventful than Aria and the likes. It is relaxing at times but also has its plenty share of drama and romance even. Gisele is a really likeable MC.

Auto pagerize probably.

Some people really don't like the end. I thought it was alright, although it's really out there.

I think my favourite from him is still Samehada-Otoko to Momojiri-Onna. Zashiki Onna just lacked something.

I got so far out of loop with this one. /a/ never really talks about it. Shame considering it's such a good read. At least up to the point I got to. Ended up dropping it after the scans came in in whole volumes. I need to reread it just to understand all the crazy shit going on.

Shoukoku no Altair
Pretty good but sometime very gay

I recently got around to reading mangas and giving anime a break. Thought it would be more tedious than enjoyable but fuck I was wrong. Sorry to be that guy but shit do I have to download chapters individually or am I just fucking up? If thats the case reading them online seems better at least until caught up, no?

Honestly, just do whatever convenient. Since Mangatraders went down, there's not really a general purpose low-barrier site anymore. Which also managed to repackage a whole lot of manga into volumes over the years.

BakaBT is generally reasonable for completed series, but yeah, ongoing ones just won't be there mostly. I always find that catching up is always better when it's downloaded cause of page lag and unreliable servers.

There's FMD and other online reader rippers, I haven't used any of them in ages and last time I checked FMD was broken for a lot of people.

Amazon Japan Kindle stuff is region locked in that you can't buy it without the right IP address. Certain other ones are too (Bookwalker?) or they won't take non-Japanese credit cards.

What's fine: ebookjapan, papyless, neowing, honto

im waiting for translations on inherit the stars and jabberwocky. Im not giving up hope

>>113143233
I could just as easily switch to American even though I like halfway around the world. Seems a little odd. I mean, what qualifies as a Japanese credit card anyways? How do they tell? I generally just use prepay cards.

>>113106136
I hate how it sometimes locks up weirdly. You'd think such a simple script could manage to perform its tasks reasonably.

>>113080737
Reading Dorohedoro. I thought it gonna be an edgy fest but turn out fucking great

>>113145728
Still waiting for that ending.

Currently reading Ore Monogatari. It's my first shoujo

>>113148802
You done fucked up, it's not going to be half as satisfying without knowing how different it is from the rest of shoujo manga.

>>113149025
Why?

>>113149162
Because the manga makes fun of shounen tropes. Kinda like watching Evangelion without knowing a little about mech anime

Reading 20th Century Boys, nice story

>>113149433
Did you reach the first timeskip yet? If not, drop it when it happens.

Trust me on that one.

Re-reading hidden gems cause there's nothing else to read.
Waiting on pic related. (2324d ago) ;_;
Can't into moon (unless it's korean) nor interested in raws so no scanlation hopes.

Does anyone know the name of the manga, where it's about this guy who loves his little sister? He's like a construction worker of some sort.
Ever since MangaTraders went down, I didn't get to track it down.

I don't know why this isn't more popular, seems like something /a/ would be all over normally.

I meant I'm not interested in raws unless they're in Korean because I can read/write Korean.

>>113150118
That's what I meant, lots of manga gets released in Korean, so I was asking whether you already looked for Korean translation if you can read it.
>>113150183
It's Momoiro Meloik. Thailand seems to be pretty chill place if it got an official release there.

>>113150194
It's all about that e-fame and donations bruh.

>>113150475
Too many webtoons and not enough well-drawn out manga (or manhwa if you want to be technical about it). You can take a look for yourself at comics.naver.com

>>113150961
I think he's talking about Korean releases of Japanese manga.

I really need to learn to stop reading manga adaptations of LNs.

They always die after 2 or so arcs.

Re:Monster and One Punch Man to fucking update. And Dungeon ni Deai to update too, once in s blue moon.
>What are you hoping gets scanlated?
I have no clue, man. I just read shit that comes my way every now and again.

As a side note, why the fuck is batoto so fucking slow lately?

Who's got some good sappy love shit? I just finished up A Method to Make the Gentle World and I need something to tide me over.

This was a pretty decent manga thread. I would have liked it to evolve into discussing art styles though. dat Takahashi Yousuke.

>>113158168

Thread's not over yet, man. 57 images and 349 posts.

I like art style threads, but they usually end up just being "post Vagabond" threads.

>>113113490

Fuck, the only thing I pick up at this thread and it has 3 fucking chapters.

The waits going to kill me.

I'm trying to read Mahou Tsukai no Yome but something about it bugs me.

The premise and characters are interesting, but it's just not enjoyable to read at all. The translation is rather bad, so it's a bit hard to tell, but the way mangaka goes about telling the story isn't working for me at all. The dialogue seems stiff - and it goes beyond just bad translation, since the very flow of conversation seems broken and mechanical - and the pacing leaves a lot to be desired.

Well, at least Chise is extremely cute.

If it was just a bad manga, I wouldn't really care, but it has a lot of potential, that's so far sadly left unrealized.

>>113113490
I picked it up recently too, it seems like Tonari no Seki-kun but actually good, but I didn't want to bring it up since like
>>113158456
said, I'd feel bad mentioning a series that only just started. Same with the other series Ciel Scans translated with 3 chapters out, Hayachine - it's also good, but since the group doesn't exactly have a good track record when it comes to keeping a steady pace of releases, I didn't want to bring it up until more chapters are out.
