In response to Angelanime, here are pictures of my manga collection. I have too much manga to write out a list. (I also hope you now understand why I want electronic manga): My collection is divided into two rooms. I’ve sold off at least 300 volumes over the past 3 or 4 years to make room for my constantly evolving collection. Haha! As you can see, I’m almost out of shelf space again ;p.

First of all, I’m trying to get some clear information on the ban. So far what I’ve gathered is that law is trying to establish what’s okay to sell to minors and what should be sold to adults only. So in this sense, I don’t think it’s a ban on manga so much as a clarification as to what’s appropriate to sell to minors. I think we all know from the selection of manga I chose for this group that I don’t choose series with even modest amounts of violence or sexuality or series that depict inappropriate acts towards minors. … Continue reading Random Thoughts on the Child Protection Law Passed in Japan
First of all that was an extremely long wait! And 52-pages was a lot of translating for me. Fortunately, the print quality of that section of the magazine was excellent, so the pages were easy to clean. Speaking of the quality, one thing I did notice is that a lot more care than usual was given to the drawings themselves. There were some nice shadows: And some all-around fine drawing: It was a real treat to prepare the images for this chapter. Onto the story itself. Taken on the whole, I liked it, though, I thought it was a little … Continue reading Thoughts on Ouran Chp 81
Okazu: The Solution to the Scanlation Solution Here’s a nice blog posting about the current scanlation issue. Continue reading Something to Read: Okazu: The Solution to the Scanlation Solution
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
http://deliporo.wordpress.com/I’ve been looking through my stacks of magazines and so far here’s what caught my eye: “Jiu Jiu” — Chp 1 is already out, but there hasn’t been an update in 3-months. The first chapter didn’t impress me that much (the dialog is very flat and lifeless), but the later chapters look interesting. I will check back into this series to see if the groups that did the first chapter are, indeed, continuing it. If some of you have time, please read the first chapter (Link) and let me know what you think. “The Princess and the Three Wild Beasts” … Continue reading Some Thoughts on a New Series to Translate and Recruitment
