Anyone out here willing to TL the last volume of 14 sai no koi? The previous translator throw a bitch fit, and yen press don't even have it on the agenda for the next 5 months, and that's at the very least.

There's some cute-ass shit happening in there, unbeknownst to anyone.

>>146388998
You willing to get raws?

>>146389078
Yeah, I got them, dog. I'll upload them to mega, if you're up.

>>146388768
He's wants a tool to rip from toranoana but nobody's going to write it if there's no example book to read and fuck buying one just to do it

>>146389322
So wait, there's like previews on that site? I can't navigate through the moonrunes.

>>146389966
That's the problem, I don't see any.

Someone scanlate Kasane.

>>146389190
Alright, I'll have a looksies, but if there's no typesetter or anything you're not getting anything

How do I get into the whole editing business? I want to learn how to clean-up a page, redraw and possibly typeset it.

>>146391574
Use digital raws to make cleaning unnecessary, look up a typesetting guide, and get someone else to do redraws.

>>146391574
Cleaning has a bunch of guides, just look one up and find the one you like best. For redrawing it's better if you have someone show you the ropes. Typesetting is RHS guide+ FWPA font guides.

If you decide to TL any of it, just shoot me the script at [email protected], I'll typeset it myself.

Can anyone assist me in getting scans from Animatebookstore?
I was told by someone here to use nwjs and tiebaManga_downloader_alpha.nw , saying that that worked there even though it wasn't made for the site. I'm able to rip previews, but not whole manga. The same link that shows previews is used to show the full manga once purchased.

How do I get around this? Should I just use something else altogether? Is there perhaps a script or something I can use?

>>146393498
Updated OMD works for EBJ but it's not being posted publicly. If you want something cheap, Rakuten is still giving 550 yen coupons for new users for a few days and that's easy to rip.

>>146393498
The pastebin script worked for me some days ago. If they haven't changes anything since then it's still working.

>>146393753

Is there anyone interested in translating either Hi Score Girl, Pupipo, or Majimoji Rurumo?

Cielscans translator is gone and the group is pretty much dead, but I used to typeset it and I want to continue it. I have all the raws, and all the chapters are cleaned and redrawn. (for Hi Score Girl)

>>146393543
You asked that already, there is no way to do this with this tool because you can't input your account details or the cookie, this might be an option if there's an updated version

I dunno how to completely automate it, but you can simply write a small screen cap script for AutoIt.
For your example, you simply open the Web Development Tools (Ctrl+Shift+I) in Firefox and switch to the Network tab.
You open a link formatted like this in a new tab: content.js?dmytime=717584
In there you will find parts of the links that it is actually downloading in your tool and also the original resolution like this: orgwidth=\"844\" orgheight=\"1200\"
Now you simply open Responsive Design View (Ctrl+Shift+M) in Firefox, input your resolution and use its integrated screen capping function.

Another method is to rewrite the pastebin tool for EBJ since it's structured the same way. You simply need it to dump the selected canvas over here.

I lost all my fucking fonts. Where do you get them again?

>>146393517
You don't learn per se. You start with the cloning tool. Figure out what *you* can do with it. Figure out what you can't. Play with pens and pencils in PS until you think what you've done is good enough. This can mean five, ten, twenty, a hundred attempts before you get it right. But eventually you get what you want, and then your brain will know how to repeat the processes for the next redraw. Something can't be solved with conventional means? If you figure it out a way to do it yourself, you'll never forget it.

What's the preferred font for inserting jokes in the translator's notes? I want the readers to know it's me talking, and not some kind of author's sidebar.

>>146402023
Put T/N or something before the text?

>>146402023
Don't you dare insert that bullshit if it's not absolutely required.

>>146402051
pretty much, but why add jokes?

>>146402023
STOP_DOING_THIS_SHIT.otf is the best font for such stuff.

>>146402140
Maybe he means explanations of some wordplay jokes?
If not, he should really stop.

>>146402202

>inserting jokes in the translator's notes

>>146402384
Seriously. I just want to know if there's a typeface or something that you guys use when you want to write in the margins, like
>bow chicka wow wow wow
when the female lead lands on MC during a battle, and you want to make it clear that it's you saying that and not the original manga.

>>146402651
>when the female lead lands on MC during a battle, and you want to make it clear that it's you saying that and not the original manga.

>>146402651
Use the same font you use for regular dialogue, the reader will know the author doesn't write in the margins. Just make sure the text is the same color as the page background, usually white.

>>146402721

How easy is it to get the Rakuten coupons? Do you have to insert a different credit card every time if you're buying something over 550? Don't they block you if you're always on the same IP or using the same card?

>>146405978
Easy. You can even use one of those 10 minute emails since there's no need to confirm your account.
In the checkout page there's an option to pay fully via coupons at the bottom, so just click that.
I did a couple and I don't think I got blocked, but if you're worried just use a proxy or something.

when you said contracting and expanding you meant like this?

Why are there different tiers in the coupons? Is the 550 yen one a premium thing now?

>>146406450
I don't think so, I had to do it every time. If you set the page in english I think it lets you set an overseas address which requires less information.

>>146406466
Yes.

>>146406514
No idea, just I chose that one anyway.

>>146406582
you could go full weeb and put waki waki, put grab grab, shit i don't know

Grab grab looks good.

I just realized books are more expensive. That explains the coupons.

>>146407559
They're not more expensive, Rakuten just includes tax in the prices shown on the page.

>>146407799
Isn't it illegal to add tax when you register a foreign address? In Amazon that's the final price and they issue a tax refund if it's charged accidentally.

>>146408000
EBJ always charges me tax even though I use a foreign address with them.

I'm not calling shots, I'm just speaking the truth.

>>146414414
Posting non-/a/ images makes you the same kind of cancer.

>>146414346
If you don't want to use the word jpg go ahead, but they're covered in "whatever" artifacts.

>>146414545
There aren't any artifacts that are clearly visible. All you'd have to do is grayscale the image and clean the bubbles.

Can't someone IP Range Ban Chillock and Xpearse already? They literally ad nothing to the threads and just shill their trash manga on /a/ even though the threads die with 10- replies.

You don't need to level at all, just clean text boxes

Best way to tell if you go to far is generally grays. look at the blush if that version and the others. you lose a ton of it. As a time saver also put leveling on separate layers if you're not sure on if you went to far or not. It makes it easier to adjust later.

>Comission may be the only way going forward

Good thing this got brought up, because I've been meaning to ask: is there something like >>146416671 for non-H material? There seems to be a ton of people doing commissioned work and no frame of reference to compare them. The quality is all over the place.

>>146433555
Honestly don't use a chart someone provides from here, it's circle jerking at best. The best way to get a commission to to find out how good the translators actually are or you'll end up with a meme translation

>>146433555
I think most H groups would do non-H commissions happily, why wouldn't they unless it's some over-the-top bullshit like moyashimon which you need a textbook for. I know of at least one group that has. As for quality you better just check their releases and judge.

>>146433595
Yeah, I'm obviously not going to pay anyone before seeing their previous work. I'm just looking for pointers because there seems to be quite a bit of crud to sift through.

>>146433694
Or get someone who knows Japanese to spot check their work, a lot of the time scanlation groups aren't up to scratch and basically rewrite dialog

>>146433718
You also need some kind of insurance encase they don't take your money and run like the wind

>>146432816

>posts groups doing "unique" series
Maybe I should do some unique mangas from unknown series too.
That's why don't ask scanlators for the best scanlation group.

>>146419101
Buy the german volume and drop the scans here.

>>146433734
You can probably sort them by price, and the knowm scrubs like cgrascal. If they're under $1.50 a page I'd wager they're ESL.

>>146433694
I considered it, but I'd rather get someone who doesn't just do porn. Judging the quality of a porn translation seems pretty difficult, and I don't know anyone who could check it for me. Plus they probably wouldn't be too keen on divulging their credentials.

>>146433494
Cool. If you decide to do Kyoaku, just translating will be enough, I'm sure there'll be someone willing to typeset it.
Dump the script into one of these threads.

>>146433938
>Judging the quality of a porn translation seems pretty difficult
Why? The dialogue is usually simpler than your normal non-hentai manga so checking is easy. The real problem is you don't know how good their non-h moon is.
>I'd rather get someone who doesn't just do porn.
Well I only know of one group on that list that's done mainstream non-h. Otherwise you could cold-call/mail non-h groups maybe.

>>146434219

Can anybody help me work out the fucking mess of detail and linework that needs to be redrawn that was covered up by the original japanese text?

I don't even know what half this shit is supposed to be. For context, a bunch of robot parts are being dumped on the ground here, but I can't even tell what half of these shapes are supposed to be.

Arms? legs?

>>146434779
Only groups that openly take commissions, pretty much yeah. non-H groups don't generally advertise that they take commissions, some might though if you ask who knows.

I'm new to the whole scanning/release scene, you can just straight up pay release groups to do shit you want?

What's the process like? How would I go about that?

>>146434970
Because i'm a super autist and the person who did the first 2 chapters of the one shot did it, and I want it to be consistent.

>>146435038
Seriously, just content aware fill it in PS and then redraw whatever you think looks right like you are an artist (wholistically) and not trying to suss out 50 different bits of a puzzle. Your average reader isn't going to spend ten hours gazing at one panel trying to figure out where you redrew it.

>>146433864
>$1.50
You can't just force a price per page because the amount of text, typesetting and redraw required all have to be taken into account.

He finally found someone to work on it? good for him.
I'm sorry to drop it even thought i scanned it

>>146435227
Well, he didn't find me, I just really enjoyed the first chapter, sent Elem a PM on bato asking what was up with the rest of it, he said he was looking for an editor, and I said "well, if it's just putting in new text and doing minor cleanup, I can do that", and then it went from there.

I didn't have a fucking clue that like half the pages in chapter 3 would have SFX and dialog outside the text boxes though, since the first 2 chapterbarely had any of that, which is taking me fucking forever to do.

He probably thinks I stopped working on it because it's taking me so long.

>>146435148
I'm using GIMP and have been doing everything manually

>>146435340
Well good luck if you are planning to keep working on it. To be honest,just skip those SFX,not everyone are that anal on it.

If you like to continue doing more Takabatake Enaga after this,i would love to give you stuff to typeset with

>>146434997
For hentai works, yes, the hentai scene has a lot of commission work. Non-hentai stuff isn't usually commissioned and non-hentai groups usually just do stuff as a hobby, but some take commissions and some, if not most, hentai groups will happily do non-H.
>How would I go about that?
Easiest is probably to hit up some H groups since they actively do shit for cash, usually you tell them what you want done and they name a price, shop around if you want, check the quality of what they've done.

>>146435340
>I'm using GIMP
Oh so you enjoy wasting your time and love pain should've said so.

>>146435340
>I'm using GIMP and have been doing everything manually
This is why you should never use GIMP. It's not because we hate open source or anything but it takes 50x more effort for manga cleaning. Just torrent Photoshop from somewhere mate.

Any of you guys change your photoshop splash image? The CC one looks awful.

>>146435403
I'm intent on finishing it but at the rate i'm going it's still not going to be done for a few weeks/months I only have a very small amount of time to work on it per day, if at all on some days, due to a horrible wave of IRL issues.

> To be honest,just skip those SFX,not everyone are that anal on it.

If I can't figure out how to fill in the rest of the ;linework on the panel in the next few days i'll probably give up and skip it for this panel, but i'd rather not.

>If you like to continue doing more Takabatake Enaga after this,i would love to give you stuff to typeset with
I don't have any intention of doing that, sorry. As Is I barely had time for this and I bit off a bit more then I could chew. I'm only working on this because I really enjoyed reading the first 2 chapters and wanted to read the end.

I might eventually check out other stuff from the author, though.

>>146435506
Hey man if you wanna direct me to a good torrent for PS CS6 (and illustrator, I need it for something too), i'll be happy to switch over to that and use content aware fill over GIMP's clone stamp; but TPB hasn't worked for me in a long time and kickass is down, so

>What's a typical r
If you mean 'rate', refer to >>146416671

Easier shit would probably set you back an average of $1.40-$1.70/page I'd say, wordy shit with lots of redraws maybe $2.50 - $3.00.

>>146435642
>>146435472
My reply got cut off as I was typing it:

What's a typical rate for that, then? Really, I don't need stuff translated/edited so much as I want better quality raws for this one series in particular: The last 150 chapters or so of the series has great scan quality at a good resolution, but the first 200 isn't and i'd really love for those pages to be redone at the same quality as the rest.

I can do the editing and stuff myself, I just need the pages rescanned at a bettter resolution and the raws given to me.

>>146435708
Given that i'm talking about thousands of pages here, that's obviously too expensive for me. Would the fact I don't need typsetting/editing done and I just need the scans made raw reduce the price by a substantial degree?

>>146435708
>Example 30 page doujin x $3.00 per page = $90
Would people even pay that?

>>146435746
>reduce the price by a substantial degree?
$0.70 - $1.00 seems the norm for simplier scripts, if it's not too wordy. Get your wallet out nigger.

>>146435771
If it's a normal doujin you can have it for like $1.50 or thereabouts usually from the cheapest somewhat-trustworthy longtimers, $3.00 would be for the bad shit.

>>146435893
>$0.70 - $1.00 seems the norm for simplier scripts, if it's not too wordy.

Again, I don't even need that done, I just need better raw scans.

Though thinking about it, that's a dumb quesion because the creation of new raw scans would require them buying the volumes, so that'd actually be MORE, not less expensive.

Does anybody have a jcafe account and wanna download something for me?

>>146435939

Oh you want scans, only a few people do that, (see the google doc). I think some do it for free if you pay but you can pay for timeliness.

Might just be easier to ask elemhunter, he doesn't charge a commission fee. Might just ask you to pay for the book

The first half of Gash bell, which is around 15 volumes, so it wouldn't be a small job.

Well, I'm currently working on editing something for him and i'm taking way longer then I should, so if i ask before I finish he certainly won't say yes. I'l keep it in mind that he's the person to ask about this though

Admittedly it's the typesetter not the translator. The translator is a great guy and just doesn't want to lose the only person who offered to edit the manga.
>>146443707
Ripping from amazon is incredibly easy with calibre. just google calibre drm removal. Also for output options make sure you select tablet. It'll resize the images if you don't. You rip whatever quality they put it in with no loss. usually 850x1200 see example

>>146444029
Only if your translator's first language isn't English.

>>146444091
You're thinking of proofreading.

>>146444176
Editors should also proofread. It's pretty retarded to be editing a translation onto media without reading it through first.

>>146444232
There's no reason those two jobs have to be done by the same person.

>>146444091
And I guess if the translator is just lazy/doesn't know how to use Photoshop.

>>146444029
It's easy, just mind numbingly boring and repetitive. If they aren't horrible I'd wager editors are actually equally, if not more so wanted then more translators for most groups.
>>146444232
I remember working for a group that wouldn't proofread the script till I finished editing it. then I had to go back and change 50% of them because god forbid I changed anything on my own. Only did 2 chapters with them for a reason. Sucks cause canon futa manga are rather rare

>>146444070
So just buy them from amazon.jp and use calibre?

>ou rip whatever quality they put it in with no loss. usually 850x1200 see example

The existing scans are already around that resolution, though, I want something better. But i'll see.

>>146444029
I'm new to this, but based on my experience editing what i'm doing, i'd say yes. In theory, if it's just putting in text and doing occasional cleanup, anybody with even a basic level of image editing skill can do it, but you'll run into at least a few panels where the japanese text isn't in a speech bubble and you actually have to redraw art.

>>146444029
Yes, more than translators from my experience.
I'm not much experienced (actually started upping my moonskills about 5 months ago) and on my crappy level I can translate 20ish pages of medium to heavy text in about an hour, maybe an hour and half if I need to google some unknown expression or w/e.

And since I edit stuff myself, I take about 8h~ to edit those said 20ish pages, minor redraws included, or 2 days with huge redraws, and I'd say I have about average experienced with editing.

So yeah, if you have a translator who only wants to translate, he could get like 3~4 chapters done pretty quick (much more if he's better than me) and you'd need a lot more editing work...

>>146444526
>>146444176
What do you mean by editing then?

>>146444588
Image editing.

>>146444780
Oh, okay.

>>146444526
Got any advice for me here >>146434866 ?

I'm perfectly capable of drawing in new linework and filling in the textures, but I just have no clue what half those shapes are supposed to be.

>>146444943
Just clone it and add an outline to your text.

>>146445001
I think you misunderstood my question, but whatever.

Is the guy who did the first 2 chapters of Handred still here? Got a question for you.

>>146444943
Just figure out what lines connect where and make up the rest with some curves or whatever. If you can't tell what it is, chances are readers aren't going to be able to either. Enaga's stuff usually isn't very hard to redraw, I've only had issues with one or two pages so far.
Also, if you're doing sfx you should at least try to match them to the originals.

>>146444516
Find it on amazon.co.jp and send a sample. or link it and I'll do it. Almost everything digital in japan is 850x1200. It's very rare you get anything bigger.

>>146445599
>Also, if you're doing sfx you should at least try to match them to the originals.

Not sure what you mean by this. I'm using the translations I was provided for them and I matched the placement of the text as best as possible

>>146446023

I'm using the same fonts and such that the person who did the first two chapters used. For consistencies sake, i'm matching what they did as best as I can even if it's not as ideal as it could be..

>>146446340
>consistencies sake
Oh come on, no one cares about 'consistence' when it comes to SFX fonts. SFX fonts are supposed to be varied anyways.

>>146446340
>For consistencies sake
That's a terrible reason. If they only used one font for every sfx, then they were a shit typesetter. Literally the only reason to typeset sfx is to give readers an experience as close as possible to reading the original Japanese, so if you're going to mess up all the fonts then you're just wasting your time.

>>146446181
oh fuck that looks absolutely outstanding. Where can I buy those digital volumes then and what do I use to extract them? Calibre like with amazon as the other anon suggested?

>>146446465
>>146446457
Fine, then do you have a suggestion for what fonts to use that resemble the japanese text in this particular instance?

>>146446515
Ebookjapan is the only place that'll have that quality. For some reason Kodansha releases are always like that on EBJ and shit everywhere else.
You need a special ripper to extract them though, might be hard to find it unless someone posts it here since it's being kept secret.

Well, I hope somebody does.

>>146446671
Paying is easy, unlike some places they'll actually accept foreign debit cards which is really nice. Ripping is harder unless you've got an updated OMD. There are scripts you can use to grab the canvas elements but that requires paging through the entire book and tends to crash the browser.

Online Manga Downloader. EBJ patched their site to block it, there's a fixed version but it's being kept secret so they don't patch that too.

>>146446927
I think debit cards never really caught on there or something. I remember Honto accepting foreign credit but not debit.

>>146446562

For the lower one, maybe Arnold 2.1? Just try some fonts out and see how they look.

>Online Manga Downloader. EBJ patched their site to block it, there's a fixed version but it's being kept secret so they don't patch that too.

Ah, got it.

So my best bet then would be to fins somebody who has a fixed version, and have them do it for me/pay them to do it?

I don't suppose you'd know where i'd find a person who has it?

>>146446798
I remember going through hell to buy through some sites so that's good. Dmm was especially bad before they added the point option. How do you tell resolution of a product?
http://www.ebookjapan.jp/ebj/344551/ was a series I was looking for because rapeman said he'd likely continue it if raws popped up. Amazon has the x1200 standard. Another series I've been trying to find raws for would be haga yui's new work but I can't seem to find digital versions of it at all. https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=124644 keep hoping someone might find interest in it.

>>146446927
We are not the target audience of these stores.

>>146447501

You need to browse through the manga manually, though.
Not as convenient as OMD but at least you can get the shit yourself.

Alright, awesome, thanks

is there a guide to buying from them anywhere as well?

>>146448164
Buying is self explanatory. Just make an account and add your card.

>>146448295
And is the viewer for the pages themselves on the site itself or what?

Also I just realized I have no idea how to actually use the script itself

>>146448106
Better try if it works for you first.

>>146448397
Load it in Greasemonkey

Just out of curiosity.
Why isn't anyone willing to share the new OMD in the same way as we're sharing this script?
We've been doing this for months now, nor has it been blocked, and nor has it appeared on that forum yet.

>>146444516
Amazon will region block you after a while so make sure you have a VPN ready.

>>146448546
Because people are paranoid about jcafe

>>146448546
It only takes one person to upload it there.

>>146448546
Chink guy who leaks updates to his chink group wants it secret to make money on some site or something.

>>146448546

Not a chance. We already know JCafe fags lurk here.

>>146448628
>>146448698
>>146448725
So stupidity, greed, and paranoia. Honestly what was I even expecting?

>>146448800
Hopefully not for some retard to upload it for you.

>>146448800
What, you were expecting it to show up here?

>>146448459
Alrightly. You never answered me about the reader though, which is the last bit of info I need.

Thanks so much for the help btw, i've been looking for consistently good gash bell scans for ages.

>>146448800
/a/ - Drama and conspiracy

>>146448586
What? I've been buying stuff from amazon for years and never been regionlocked. Don't use a proxy or anything.

>>146448725

That reminds me, there's a Kirei Cake faggot on JCafe trying to charge people for ripping their ebooks that they bought.

>>146448865
>>146448887
No.
As I stated in my first post, simply curiosity.

>>146448899
Use the web reader, yes.

>>146449114
He's been doing that quite successfully for a while now.

>>146449106
It will happen randomly after a while unless you're in Japan. It took me around 20 kindle purchases to get the block.

>>146448899
If the book in question has a sample you can read in the browser then you will be able to read the full one in the browser as well and use this script
I don't know for sure but some books might be Windows reader app only in which case the script is useless

>>146449114
His tool is as good as >>146448106 - he simply dumps the canvas
People paying for it are getting fucked hard

Anyone know how to get stuff from senmanga?

Sorry, I was kinda gaming...
I'd say to just draw whatever it looks like to you. If it looks like SOMETHING to you, then it LOOKS like something to anyone else.

This is what it looked like to me.
And yeah, I didn't finish correcting the patterns, I hate uneven patterns...

And like what they were saying about matching fonts and what not, I'd suggest not redrawing SFX at all.
Just write in the most look alike font you can find near it in the same style, it looks much better, it's easier, and you don't mess the original art as well.
For reference, check any book released from FAKKU. Their editing work is very good and it looks clean.

Most of the time people redraw and translate SFX it just... doesn't match well as the original. So, basically, it looks like an amateurish job, of course, only if someone were to do the same work as the original artist to get it to match perfectly, and that's why I'd suggest to avoid it.

>>146450108
Download Fiddler2, use the proxy, visit the gallery, see requests

or

Download RefControl, set http://raw.senmanga.com/viewer as the custom referer for raw.senmanga.com, now you can access images directly, ex. http://raw.senmanga.com/viewer/Days/101/1, http://raw.senmanga.com/viewer/Tokyo-Ghoul:RE/89/1, etc

Basically you enter a gallery and add "/viewer/" between raw.senmanga.com and series name

>>146450108
>>146450859
Alternatively you can just hold down shift to force right clicks to go through if you just want a single image.

>>146448106
Always manage to miss this one. Does anyone mind temporarily uploading this one again?

>>146450859
Fiddler works, thanks.

RefControl's a little harder to use but I'll learn it eventually.

>>146449221
I have over 60 of mixed US/JP kindle purchases. Maybe because I have prime? You actually have me worried now.
>>146450108
Use noscript. You have to allow senmanga at one point but once the actual chapter is open just turn it back on and you can rightclick or just drag to a folder to save. I find the later faster.

>>146451561
That's scriptsafe, right?

>>146451609
https://noscript.net/ or on the addons site. Anything that blocks scripts would work I assume.

>>146451762
I see. Thanks man.

>>146449284
How do you tell the resolution you're getting? it's obviously resized for the web browser. Is everything just 1600px there?

>>146453374
The canvas is the correct resolution.
And you can actually use the old OMD to check if you want to. It will get the images with the correct resolution, but scrambled.

>>146453374
It's usually 1200, but sometimes (almost everything by Kodansha) it's 1600.

>>146451561
No idea, mine only blocked after around 20 JP purchases. I can still access the ones I bought and get samples but I need to be on a Japanese IP to make new JP purchases now.

>>146453580
The majority by Dengeki (since February or March) is x2048 now.

>>146453643
Oh, nice. Can't remember the last time I bought something from Dengeki so didn't know that. Still waiting for Daioh/Maoh to go digital.

>>146383279
Scanning your asshole on a printer doesnt count as scanlating faggot

>>146453487
Where do you even get the online manga downloader? Only thing that's coming up is an old github from 5 years ago and a dead site from 2012.
>>146453853
>>146453643
Nice. I wonder if raws for サクラ ナデシコ will finally start showing up. It's in Dengeki Maou though.

>>146429935
I hear you bro Amen

>>146454110
That new one from the author of Lotte? The first chapter's on Comic Walker, so that's something at least.

>>146448586
Once again, why the fuck would amazon block you? If you're spending good money, why would they give a fuck where you live?

>>146434997
Literally just email anyone. Youve got the money

>>146453853
It's about time they went digital, really.
Not too long ago all of their stuff was finally added to ComicWalker.

>>146454110
Isn't volume 1 out already? Just buy it.
(The first volume is still set at their x1536 resolution, though.)
It's on CW as well, but they reduced their resolution down to x1200 some weeks ago.

http://comic-walker.com/contents/detail/KDCW_AM01100023010000_68/

The first chapter here is the original resolution, though. They'll reduce it if they ever add more chapters most likely.

>>146454400
Ask them, not me. You can't buy kindle Viz from Amazon either unless you're in the USA by the way.

Yeah. I saw the first chapter a long time ago. Actual futa series are pretty rare, and I love her art. There is a tank at amazon https://www.amazon.co.jp/NEXT-ebook/dp/B01D9FYTOU/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=
But it's just the first 6 chapters. No one scans Maoh either. I was looking for a translator for it for awhile now.

>>146454400
I think they might not have international rights, or maybe it's something to do with taxes.

Do raws for Young Champion RETSU exist anywhere? Got interested in cool kyou shinja's story in it though translations with all of the net slang are incredibly hard. Bought the tank a year ago and have no idea if it's still ongoing in the manga or what. I can't find any info about it at all. Cirno who does every other cool work said it's to lewd sadly.

>>146454110
Newest old OMD I have.

Well thank you anon. Good to know I wont have to worry about trying to get it to work with EBJ as they're sadly the same resolution as amazon for Tasogarebashi Ekimae Omokage Shokudou I have to admit though this is pretty funny to look at.
