What the fuck is this shit? She just turned into a blackhole? Out of the blue she turned into a black hole. I'm so confused.

Silver Spoon 65 is really good so I'm bitching at people to get it out faster. Either tonight or tomorrow.

"Don't mollycoddle me!!!" is probably the cutest, silliest thing I've ever seen a girl shout while punching someone, that I have no clue what it means. Hahaha!
I wonder if we'll see more of the girls' team, it looks really cool.
Everyone's reactions to everything are still the best thing.

Bought Busou Renkin volume 1 to 4...let's see how over-the-top it is.

So....not very good? :lol
Yeah, it's no fun anymore. So, I've since dropped it for the time being, which is a shame as it truly was hilarious in its earlier stages. Now it's just all the nekkid without the funny.

They got the bronze. Their volleyball team is typically one of the best in the world.
It was actually pretty cool to watch.
The South Korean team had a real beast on their team, too. I enjoyed it more than the male matches to be honest. It's an amazing sport to watch regardless of the gender of the players.

Damn, memory failed me. :/
Was thinking they lost the bronze match to Korea.
Men's to me gets a little boring because they seem to cover too much of the court well. It results in a lot more volley's but it can get a little boring.
It's easliy my favorite sport to watch or play in.

We better get our SJ series tomorrow. Tired of all the smut.
Havent had time to get into Blade of the Immortal yet, so that's my fault.

Wait, there's no big 3 this week either? Since when do they take of 3 weeks in a row? Maybe I'm just forgetting but don't recall that long a break ever.
They should be back tomorrow.

Oh, good. A co-worker said he looked it up and read they won't be back until next week.

This is true in Japan. Scan groups get the stuff a week before Japan does.
A constant source of confusion.

Well that was fucking weird. They all become spaghetti people-forever? A guy turned into a galaxy? I wonder is Junji Ito clinically insane?

Just got the first 14 or so volumes (with the exception of volume 3) of Tsubasa: Resevoir Chronicles from a college colleague; I started this series but never finished it.

That was either my first or second manga series I had fully bought and completed (that or Spiral, cant remember now). Definitely get the rest as it has a great end, and pick up the artbook too. I would always listen to this song reading it, just captures the series so well.

Actually, it doesn't. At least not for me. How do scan groups get the stuff a week before release?

My understanding is that its a guy who works at the printing facility.

There are certain stores that get the shipments early and break the street date.
I think that's a bit of an understatement there
Ignis Fatuus
Banned
To clarify, it is not difficult to find a store that will break street date by one, two, or even three days. Only exceptionally rare sources will break the street date by five full days, which is what you need in order to compete on the very popular series.
To my knowledge there has never been a source that could beat the street date by more than five days.
The snail bits were more fucked up
Uzumaki is my favourite short (<3 volume) series.

It's not exactly nerd culture when your competitors are Turkish investment groups and Chinese entrepreneurs with their own offices.

I guess it just surprises me that a weekly mag gets printed a week in advance.

They would have trouble distributing it to the remoter parts of the country if it weren't. The stores which get it early all tend to be in the Tokyo area.
It's sad how the manga for Fist of the North Star and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure both got completely screwed in the West.
FotNS got a graphic novel release from Viz in the 90s, but covered 5 volumes. Raoh barely got an introduction.
Raijin Comics tried again around 2003, but they failed, only managing to publish 9 volumes.
I wonder if Viz isn't allowed to license it again...
As for Jojo, hoo boy. Part 1 and 2 were completely skipped over, because Araki was ashamed of the art (kind of understandable). So it started with Part 3. Publication was ceased when someone found Dio reading the Qu'ran IN THE OVA, it didn't even happen in the manga. Yet somehow, this was enough to stop the manga for a year. It managed to finish off Part 3, so Part 4 is next right? NOPE! Dead in the water.

Wait, are we still talking about scanlation groups?
Ignis Fatuus
Banned
Yes. I've been retired for a while so I've not been keeping up on the latest situation, but I think it's safe to mention now that it was MangaReader (AFTV, a company run by a Turkish investment group) who first began erasing the boundaries between scanlation and aggregate sites. They were the first to create a proxy group (MangaZone) to try to lock down all the high traffic series. Before that happened aggregate sites just rehosted stuff produced by various fan groups.
Nowadays if you want to work on a really popular series your competition is going to have no qualms about quality, many paid staffers, and five day early raws. They will also have professional hired hackers from China who can DDOS you. You can't even begin to compete unless you match their raw speed. This is why only a tiny handful of fan groups are capable of playing in that league.

I always thought it was just really not at all that popular in he west. Cant imagine there being any other reason for Viz to not have done any other parts than that, and I guess there probably was just no appeal as they have not even added released volumes on their digital service.

Wasn't MangaZone that group (they're dead now, so its okay to talk about them...right?) that had the utterly awful translation?

Like I said, the aggregate proxy groups don't care about quality. They're paid to get it out first.

That sounds pretty insane, but I can see how there's money behind the game. Money the mangaka will never see, because companies like Jump don't get the global market.
But then again, how do you beat leaks like that, without pissing off your retail customers?
