Official Translated Manga

>>154331207
Seven Seas a best tho

/a/ won't reply because they're tsundere as fuck for these kind of manga, they secretly buy it.

>>154331207
Seven Seas and Vertical are good. Fuck YP

>>154331207
>official releases can offer better translations
Not if they're Viz. Yen Press is a hit or miss; when they fuck up, they fuck up very badly.
Any publisher that goes heavy on localization should be doused with gasoline and burnt on a pyre.

Well, I live in France so of fucking course things are a bit different here, but I like having my books translated, especially if the translation is good.

In the recent yers, there was a wave of new editions for some manga that had shitty translation and I have to say that's a blessing.

Most translations here are godly, and a fuckton of works is translated so I consider myself lucky.

Of course we have some shit ones, but it depends more on the translator than the editor.

Fucking Mirai Nikki will never be finished. That'll teach me to buy anything.

>>154331207
It'd be fine and dandy if localizers could finish a fucking series. RIP Kekkai Sensen.

>Most translations here are godly, and a fuckton of works is translated
I always hear that frogs do a decent job with their dubbing and translating, is there a reason why?

>>154331207
Well I get plenty of stuff in my own language and it has worked out fine for the most part.
Except with Vagabond, they stopped doing that at volume 9 because shitbags weren't buying it. I guess I should get it in English. Those big volumes okay?

>>154331816
Well we have a long story of comics here so that might help, people might be more used to it.
Also looks like we're the second country in terms of manga industry, after Japan of course, so that may be a push for quality since lots and lots of stuff is translated.

However on dubbing (talking about anime, otherwise, movies and games are often good or great) it's often shitty, I think that's because cartoons are looked down upon because
>cartoons for children; they're too dumb to care about quality anyway
The problem also happens for american cartoons when they're localized here, but seems less important, I guess that's because anime is seen as more niche.
We still have some good dubs though, I remember that I prefered french dub of Air Gear anime than the sub. Also that shit aired in midday uncensored what the hell

However we still have some gems, like Wakfu, or the Dofus animated movie, which are just wow, but they're french productions so of course the producer would care.

>>154331816
Because we are used to.
Any and all cultural product that is to be published in France must have a french translation of some sort, meaning we've had all our movies and TV translated, etc.
Another big element that came into play is that comic books have always been quite popular since WW2 and that resulted in a certain quality standard among french and belgian publishers ; when manga and anime started to surface in the 80s, said standard was quickly applied in order not to create a divide within the readership (it didn't really work) and most importantly in order to capitalize on what was (rightfuly) seen as a market with huge potential growth when our more traditionnal comic books were losing traction due to the concurrence of TV.
That doesn't mean we don't have our stinkers here and there, as well as many failed collections, series stopped mid-run due to poor sales, etc.

But yeah overall we're well-served. The translations are alright (although there is often some cringeworthy stuff when it comes to swearing since the editors will be cautious not to use "shit" for a series meant for teenagers because reasons), the printing is usually okay depending on the editor, and we get some fairly unknown stuff translated at a loss because apparently some people in there have ethics.

If I buy a localized manga does any of that money get back to the manga-ka?

>>154332096
Depends on the editor, some have contract where the author gets paid once, some have contract where the author is payed by the sold (actually printed) volume.

>>154332096
Depends on the terms of the contracts between the local publisher and the japanese publisher.
In some cases, specific contracts are signer to translate and publish one author in particular in which case yes he/she does get things from it (usually the author got an initial contractual sum, and starts to recieve royalties once a certain amount of books sold is reached)

>>154331656
>>154331687
Shame neither seem to publish much I'd want to put on my shelf. Maybe Blame and Franken Fran.

Any thoughts on Dark Horse?

>>154332377
Berserk needs to be collected in bigger volumes.

Vertical, Fantagraphics, and Drawn & Quarterly are the best
Kodansha and Seven Seas are hit and miss (fucking translations or releases sometimes)

>>154332431
Having large hardbound deluxe editions of berserk with 3 volumes in one would be great. Something like what viz did with uzumaki.

>>154332431
>bigger volumes for something with very detailed art
Be careful what you wish for
>t. fell for the bigger volume meme with Planetes' reprint only to find blur every 20 pages and horrendous bleed in coloured pages

Seven Seas shills here a lot and picks up stuff from here
Yen Press DMCA all they can

>>154332522
>blur every 20 pages and horrendous bleed in coloured pages
Is this legal?

I only own the Azumanga Daioh omnibus. Pretty good though, they kept all the Japanese jokes rather than making them more localized like the original volumes here

>>154332543
Is that the new yen press omnibus or the old adv manga one?

/co/ has a shelf & recent purchases thread almost 24/7, how come /a/ doesn't do these kinds of things? Do most weebs just not buy things?

>Love Lab will never ever be officially localized

What was that about?

Polish translations makes me cringe so much. It's impossible to finish anything in one sitting, because you have to take breaks from cringe. Anyone with semi-decent knowledge of English will read those translations instead. Worst thing, weebs actually buy it, because there's no other option for these fucks - if they can't learn English, then they cannot even dream about learning Japanese. In general, learning japanese in Poland is hard, there's almost none decent learning material. The flow of cancer in Polish fandom is something exceptional. From cancer, for cancer.

>>154333726
My taste is bad enough, that I'll probably never come to hate something so much I want to get rid of it, if I did like it at first well enough to buy. Even really shitty endings are things I can tolerate if I liked it for a good amount of time. But, I'd never buy anything because I'm poor and I d things cheaply. Not going to blow very much money on something I can more easily get for free, although I might buy a few that I really like someday.

>>154333726
Back when I was a less proficient weeaboo who bought all the manga I bought I started reading Natsume Yuujinchou. I still like it a lot, but I don't love it or it's viz release, and I read all my other manga as scanlations now. I would be perfectly happy reading natsume that way too, except now I'm 20 volumes in and I just can't stop. I don't want to leave something half done. I secretly pray she'll end the series so I can stop buying them.

>>154331771
That's what you get for liking bad manga

>>154333728
Almost everything sounds edgy. Like, weeaboo edgy. Or it's just plain weird for say something like that in Polish, it sounds artificial. I guess there might be better translations around nowadays, 10 years ago, mangas were niche as fuck. Impossible to find outside bigger cities. Another thing, good amount of translations are niche even in Japan itself. They just pick whatever is cheap to translate, I guess, and they go with that. I don't think there's Berserk translation at all, while you can find Thorgal everywhere. As I said, it probably changed a bit nowadays - last time I checked my local shop, they had Pluto and Girls und Panzer manga, not bad.

>>154332096
Not directly. Western publishers typically pay a lump sum to license a property, and uses the profit from selling translations to license more properties.

>>154333950
Huh, my bad, they made Berserk translation two years ago. Things really did change for better then.

>>154333950
>weeaboo edgy
I'd ask for examples but I don't into Polish.

I can't place my ire in words, but here's an example:
>Scan group: Stop hanging around and let's go!
>Viz: Stop lollygagging!

I had to look up lollygagging since I had no idea what it fucking meant. Learned something that day, but what the fuck? What region of murica does this originate from?

Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service is the biggest "fuck you" series I own. Two years since the last english volume came out, the series has since been rereleased in omnibus format, translations are multiple volumes behind now, and there are only scanlations for half of the English translated volumes online.

Official translations are fine. The problem is selling them. I live in the Philippines, yet I wish American translations are sold there. Problem is, they're not marketed enough for there to be a demand. Same with anime.

It's for those reasons above that I now understand why pirating and fan translations exist. Not a problem for both in my country, but is so in the United States. I've seen "please buy official translations to support the author." I wish I could do so, but in the Philippines, not so.

>>154334747

Flipfag here.

Fully Booked or any Half-Competent bookstores allow you to order via them. I've gotten lots of Manga English releases by just ordering through them.

Better yet, just order the damn books yourself via whatever online service you're comfortable with. This can go for the English Releases or even the original Tankoubons if you can into moonrunes.

>>154331207
I guess it's okay as long as your local publisher puts in real effort.
The first and the last time I tried buying manga was when one of our huge publishers tried to test the market by selling imported Tokyopop editions of a few series. Managed to nab 7 volumes of Saiyuki, at a price that was not friendly to my wallet, especially given I was a relatively poor university student at a time. Gave up when I realized they will not restock what i wanted and have at that point started expanding their inventory with, I wouldn't say garbage, but definitely something I'd be sorry giving money for. I've checked again last year, they got a little better, but are still horribly behind.

99% of manga I've read would have never found its way to me if it weren't for scanlations.

Due to shit taste and too much money/free time, I actually do have a few.
I don´t really have anything to compare the translations to, though, so no idea if they are bad or not.
Just sometimes I feel like the translator did not really get what the original was trying to say due to not knowing where the story might be headed.
I think this could be the biggest problem with official translations in general.

They are okay. A two-for-one deal, it was the only way to get some of the earlier ones because the single ones are long sold out here.
Problem is that Vol. 38 is out since last month or so, but my autism won´t let me buy it and makes me wait for Vol. 19 of this MAX series, which could probably take two or three years if they even gonna do one.
Some of them have some issues with text being hard to read / very small, but from what I noticed this got fixed around Vol 10.
Funny thing about the German version is that they still call her Kjaskar or something like this. Then again, they were the Band of the Falcons (Die Falken) from the very beginning

Yeah it sucks, guess it has to do with the different thickness of them. They started with just one line on the first but then just went random.
The whole thing has a very old school layout in general with the weird advertisment in star form and all.

There's nothing wrong with Thorgal. I meant, those series have similar premise. Very good drawing, darker fantasy themes, and so on. If people in Poland enjoy Thorgal so much, it's pretty logical they would enjoy Berserk too. Yet we had our polish Berserk only two years ago.

Because they actually buy manga.

Unlike in burgerland, where a worrying number of people don't even know their favorite manga are in English (I still remember people chimping out when Viz told Mangastream to stop scanlating Jump, many not even knowing what Viz was).

>>154331207

I buy the English tanks for my favorite manga.

I wish they'd find a way to make them cheaper, though. 10 bucks a fucking book when I can get the JP one in Japan for 3 is fucking bullshit.

>>154331708

>Not if they're Viz.

Doesn't Viz get a lot of their translators from the scanlation scene? I know the guy doing My Hero Academia used to be a part of Powermanga.

Why are those translators "great" and "better than the official" when they're doing it for free, but "garbage" when they're actually getting paid for it?

>>154332632
Stop being such a drama queen. I have hundreds of manga published by Panini, including the first number of Planetes, and I never came across something like that. The only thing that came close was a Death Note volume with some missing pages, which I agree is unacceptable, but it literally happened once in like 7 years of collecting manga.

>>154342259
Because /a/ wants to pretend it's still 2004, that streaming still means you won't get over 460p, that publishers only have two guys who can speak japanese and 8 with an automatic translator, that official releases are still printed on yellow paper, etc.

Viz occasionally outsources translators from translation companies to do their manga, if anything it causes even more mistakes because they're unfamiliar with what they're working on.

>>154331708
Viz is fine, outside of a few glaring exceptions

I didn't know why Tokyopop closed until I managed to score all of their english GTO on ebay. There were places in at least 2 or 3 of the first few volumes where the text didnt line up with the speech bubbles in the slightest, or was straight up unreadable.

>>154346704
I was surprised they did this, the license must have been cheap or something. Just annoyed they skipped over the first story in the series though.

I remember having a lot of trouble reading GTO when I bought some volumes, the text was too small for my crappy eyesight.

What are the rarest manga you own /a/?

Mine is definitely The Walking Man Hardcover.

Generally going for over $1000 right now. Probably followed by The Strange Tale of Panorama Island.

I live in Japan so my collection's pretty haphazard - I buy and resell things just to save space all the time. It's hard to build up a huge collection when you live in a 25 sq m apartment.

>>154332698
>the industrial standards in Japan being pretty fucking low in terms of product quality
The reason for that is that comics are still considered disposable material here in Japan - Jump is printed on recycled paper, only bunko or kanzenban get HQ paper similar to the US.

I think America should adopt a lower quality/price model, and put out a deluxe edition later (like how American comics typically have tpbs and omnibus editions now).
[And as a brief aside, the comic industry as a whole should also move towards releasing monthlies with non-glossy paper at half the price if publishers want to survive on more than movie deals]

But the US has had this trend since the early 90s when digital coloring blew up that would be hard to reverse now. But they definitely should.

The physical release of the first 4 volumes of the Amazon Kindle-only US English translation of the Doraemon manga.

One literally cannot get these unless they know someone in Singapore that can ship or somehow find the English copies (and not the local language ones) in the wild somewhere else in SEA.

>>154359168
>he reason for that is that comics are still considered disposable material here in Japan
The main reason though I'd say is that the overall business model of putting out a lot of material targeting small audiences to capitalize on all markets instead of betting on the success of one central product is only viable if you keep production costs as low as possible to offer an affordable product to the consumers.
As opposed to the american industry that is on the opposite end and relies far too much on central titles and volatile products on the side that often result in a loss.
>But the US has had this trend since the early 90s when digital coloring blew up that would be hard to reverse now.
Digital colouring is the cancer that is killing comic books everywhere. It looks like ass, and I have honestly only seen one person use it in an interesting way that wouldn't be possible with other tools

>>154358822
Yeah I guess I'm better off finishing it. It's not well known nor sought after so even if I sold it I'd just get a couple bucks.

>>154359116
>Generally going for over $1000 right now.
Hate to burst your bubble, but you're a /co/mrade so I won't go easy on you - there's one on eBay selling for $30 right now.

The rarest reprint collection I owned was Incal (the Humanoids deluxe size that had a limited print run), which I sold for $600. And that was unusually high. $1000 is unheard of for reprints.

>>154359478
This is interesting; I've definitely never seen it in Japan.
I'm translating some odd titles on the side that I'd love to get published in English, but I also rather just scanlate and dump them for free. I think the English-speaking market of SEA has a lot of buying potential especially though, even if they are usually poor.

The industry needs to return to late 80s Baxter print paper, similar to TDKR or the Akira translations Marvel put out. Keep four color dots in the monthlies, save the digital coloring for the deluxe editions (although that sort of un-uniformity) would probably cause its own share of complaints among the autist collectors, it's the only way to revive the industry.

There are other reasons why manga is successful in Japan - $3 Jump with the extra costs covered by 50 pages of ads, a secondhand market that lets readers easily jump into long series, anime/merch tie-ins and a lack of social stigma that makes it an acceptable hobby, generally, etc.

>tfw no rare mangos
Rarest I have would be the full original print of Planetes (it's not really rare, the print was not that small but it's high in demand since all the other upscaled french reprints are ass) or Leiji Matsumoto's Ring of the Nibelungen (only 4 volumes out of 7, not very common but only fly for 50€ per volume or so)

Another big saving grace for the comic book industry in Japan is that instead of putting itself into competition with television, both became complementary. This is where euros and burgers have failed (it's especially visible in french-belgian comics, the drop in popularity coincides so closely to the arrival of cable TV, it's not even funny), although the tendency might be reverting in the USA (but with all the big money involved and subsidiary companies shenanigans, it probably won't trickle down to the comic books and only bloat the movie-making-machine even furether)

The comic industry is dying?

>>154360213
The US comic industry is in a weird spot and it will have to change because it isn't really viable as it is. Comic books are still in a weird spot when it comes to digital releases because in one hand the offer is there from publisher but does not interest anyone, on the other hand there is some pirating and the banality of free music and movies made a lot of people reluctant towards paying for media overall.
As if the archaic business model (made sense when you had three guys to pay every month to write 20 pages with sloppy colouring, not so much when the art is taking so much time everyone is either resorting to cheap tricks or struggling with deadlines) the batshit-insane ingerence of "diversity comissions" pushing their racial and gender quotas, replacing characters with "totally the same except black/woman/disabled/fat/alloftheabove" to please an audience that doesn't even buy their products did not help at all.

The quality of original japanese H-manga is insane. Overall books are better and much better paper quality than any shounen or seinen manga you would buy,

I hope you're not bating me, but yeah, of course it is.

The affiliated industries are keeping it on life support, and a few publishers have managed to transition to digital media, but if you compare the numbers to the corporate bloat of the 90s, or the proliferation of small/indie publishers in the 80s, the comic book industry is largely failing.

Anyways, my reading pile next to my bed, along with an unpictured Lupin (which I really wanna find time to translate, since Tokyopop's out of print edition were essentially guess subs trying to make it sound like an Austin Powers movie).

I regret buying most of this. Some of them were hand-me-downs like Black Cat and Chrono Crusade. Others were partly Borders dying and me getting their shitty leftovers.

I apologize in advance for that unpainted portion of the wall, my incomplete series, and my tastes not appealing to everyone(having nothing).

>The affiliated industries are keeping it on life support, and a few publishers have managed to transition to digital media
A lot of people that support the already dying industry refuse to buy digital "media" and would boycott if there was a major shift to digital like there was with PC games.

>>154360515
I didn't realize they didn't have a choice. When I get off work I'll take some pics of my favorite porn mangos.

>>154360548
How does it feel knowing HxH will never be complete?

>>154360696
Not so bad. I will always have autism over incomplete series, but it can't be worse than waiting 10 years for the Ant arc to finish up with scribbles. Those know true suffering.

The same two, I guess. Maybe Black Jack as well? I don't think anything else I own is that rare.

>>154360607
It's not that they don't have a choice, it's that often it's preferable for them to have for a lower price a smaller quantity of books printed on good paper rather than the minimum quantity required for a mass printing on cheap paper. Keep in mind hentai has very small distribution networks that couldn't handle larger quantities anyway.
or maybe it's just tougher paper so the books are hotglue-proof and since no circle writes fast enough to make you buy a new mango every time you're done wanking, they want it to last longer

>>154360565
I would refuse, I'm a big supporter of the print industry and feel a huge disconnect with a physical media being read through a digital medium - that sort of discomfort hardly exists with videogames since the media/medium is essentially the same regardless (the rise of mp3s definitely made that transition easier for vidya too, although they're only tangentially related).

Remember when Marvel included digital codes for its books, if you purchased the physical copies? They might still do it, I don't know, but I do know that when I was still in the US, no one actually used them - people even tried 'selling' them on eBay at reduced rates, but there was just no reason to buy them except out of novelty or by those trying to adapt to a new system.

When those 50 year old collectors who go and buy fifty titles a month from their LCS die out or give up, the market's definitely going to have to shift.

>>154360954
>I would refuse
I would too, I forgot to put "such as myself" in my post. Personal opinion, but I feel the same way about games and music. Luckily, pretty much all music I listen to has an actual CD I can buy. Can't say the same for games I want to play so I just end up pirating or not playing at all.
Like you already implied, the fact that the comic book industry isn't digitized as much as other entertainment isn't a reason for the industry decline at all.

>>154359627
Do you have a link to the ebay listing you mentioned? I don't see it.

>>154361262
Anon please, it's the first listing that comes up if you search for 'the walking man jiro'.

>>154361475
Yeah. I see it now. Swear it wasn't showing up though. I usually use bookfinder to find the lowest prices on books but I don't think it checks ebay listings.

Either way that's a great price for it, if anyone is looking for it, they should jump on that. It's the only one I see that low by the way, and yeah I doubt people are actually going to pay $1000 for it but I haven't seen it go low in a while.

Ebay always seems to be the best place to get these kind of things if you're patient.

Speaking of bookcases, what does everyone think of the Ikea Gersby? It's pretty cheap and I don't really have enough manga to fill it all up yet

Ah, these people are truly the worst. It's always newfags who have no experience with the genre but decided they unequivocally dislike everything that features robots. I bet he likes Evangelion.

>>154359809
I'd do away with the color altogether.

Have BW anthology bricks with many but small pages (I think B5 is the right paper size) printed on toilet paper in physical non-comic-shops. Much like the Donald Duck collections of Germany or Scandinavia. Put in coupons and crossword puzzles and anything to keep people from collecting them.

Comics shops and online can then deal with the luxury colored collections of individual series.

>>154363157
i like mecha, but there's literally only a handful of /m/ manga. most are released to promote an upcoming anime, the medium where the genre is best.

In English? Yeah. In Japanese? No.
