English Licensed Manga Removed from Aggregator Sites

K3

Well, it’s begun…So far I’ve noticed that series licensed by Viz have been removed from MangaFox.  Good for Viz!  I know some of you who read scanlations are quite upset and I feel bad for those of you who cannot access these series without scanlation.  Viz, though, has to protect its market in the US. Hopefully, once the manga aggregators purge their sites of licensed series, the pressure will be relieved and we can continue to enjoy series that are new outside-of-Japan or too niche-y to license outside of Japan.———————-Update:  It’s interesting to see what manga/manhwa rose to the top … Continue reading English Licensed Manga Removed from Aggregator Sites

Zettai Heiwa Daisakusen Chp 17

K3

Here is “Zettai Heiwa Daisakusen” chapter 17. Link to ZHD Chp 17 Hopefully, this is the lowest emotional point in the story. If it isn’t, I don’t know if I could handle any more bad befalling these characters I like so much.  From the way the chapter ends, it looks like the next chapter will be a flashback chapter — or so I hope, because I would really like to see how Yuda and Johanne met during the war. Read beyond here after you’ve read the chapter because what I ramble, may contain spoilers. On the topic of Joshua, I … Continue reading Zettai Heiwa Daisakusen Chp 17

Holy crap that was a LOOOONG 4-months to wait!!!  Anyway, here is Akagami chp 19: Link “Akagami no Shirayukihime” chapter 19 After this we have another long 2-month wait until the next issue of Lala DX in August.  Hopefully, then we’ll find out what bit of “sweetness” Zen whispered into Shirayuki’s ear on page 44 ;p.  I’m also looking forward to tons of fun adventure time with Obi and Shirayuki. Oh! and here’s a link to Hyper Parfait for Sapphire Pyro’s excellent AnS chp 19 write-up! It kinda makes me wanna write up a “smart-ass” version of the chapter…heheheh.

"Seirei Produce" Chapter 2

K3

Here is “Seirei Produce” Chapter 2: Link to “Seirei Produce” Chapter 2Spanish Version (Coming Soon)French Version (Coming Soon) In this chapter we get more of a feel for Shiina and her family situation.  I really like Shiina! Her mother is pretty funny too.   Amane’s, though, is a brat and is treated a little too much like eye candy (he kinda reminds me of “Aram” from “Meru Puri”.  But turn about is fair play  I like this series, so we will take it on as a project! Lala DX 7/2010 should be ready for me to pick up tomorrow.  According … Continue reading "Seirei Produce" Chapter 2

Scanlation Crackdown Group Formed

K3

Here’s an article about it from Publisher’s Weekly.  Yikes, everybody…so you haven’t been buying the books…hmmm…Actually, I know this very well, since NONE of you have bought a book from Amazon through the links I provide and less than .1% of you even click on the links.  All of you understand that “free” is not a business model. Well, I certainly don’t do scanlation to hurt the publishers or the artists and I’m sad to see that consumers will not pay for their favorite manga titles when they do become available for purchase.  At the same time, manga at ~$10/volume, … Continue reading Scanlation Crackdown Group Formed
