Holy shit it is already March. I had completely forgotten it was coming out so soon.

Though I see it's not translated yet. Hopefully someone other than the slow-ass group that was doing Dorohedoro picks it up.

Neat, thanks OP.

I'm glad the art is consistent to Dorohedoro.

>slow-ass
Still can't learn Japanese, I see.

Has nothing to do with the group taking forever to release chapters. Me learning Japanese wouldn't impact their release schedule in the slightest and it would still be an issue for people that don't know Japanese.

Why is Ebisu here?

>it's just Dorohedoro but in space
nice.

I wonder if most of the cast are going to be essentially nice people again

Next time post the chapter in the thread. It is an image board after all.

>essentially
Dunno about that

I'm also happy with the general aesthetic being the same but I do wish she'd change the character designs more, I know it's not that easy for an artist to just do that but still, you can't help but compare how similar some of them look.

Is it gonna take place in the same world or whole new story and lore but same style and design?

shit, was going to translate the whole thing for you guys but something came up. if this thread is up in a few hours i'll finish

Looks really fun. If Q gives us a Noi-Shin couple as the main, I am more than happy.

I'll wait for you user.

Fuck yes
>it's space
FUCK YES

sure hope so

Still gotta finish Dorohedoro, hope all my faves made it to the end they probably didn't

That very much depends on who your favorites are.
Who am I kidding, it's En, Noi and Shin, right? They're okay.

>I was never an apprentice
This reminds me of the rumor that she was an assistant for Nihei, makes you wonder who even started saying that to begin with.

Dorohedoro is not a new manga.

Literally Shin

Appachian has no cute girl beneath the skull. At least, for now.

Hoping this doesn't flop because it's in a shitty magazine. She should have gone to Kodansha or Shueisha.

Did she change the magazine for this series?

It's the same magazine that Dorohedoro finished in. The magazine that it was originally in went under and she had to move and she moved to this one. She didn't move specifically for this series.

I think it won't flop then since it will probably be bought and read by the same people who were into Dorohedoro.

Dorohedoro moved from Ikki to Gessan near its end. Gessan is a shonen magazine but it shouldn't matter. What matters is how this magazine is almost completely irrelevant.

Dorohedoro was a special manga. A lot of people won't bother with this anymore but hopefully enough of her hardcore fans get the volumes. If things go really well it could be even bigger than Dorohedoro but the chances are slim.

FINALLY

It actually moved to another magazine first, which also went under, and that's when it moved to Gessan. There's nothing wrong with being in a smaller magazine. It could give her more freedom because an irrelevant magazine won't be quick to cancel shit. And irrelevant magazines can be lifted up by specific series. Take Young Animal with Berserk (if it ever came out) or Ultra Jump with Jojolion. I don't know how much the difference in pay was but considering Dorohedoro was in two magazines before it that couldn't even manage to stay in business, it's better than it having been canceled.

>Dorohedoro
>Cyberpunk

If anything it's "biopunk"

I always call it cyber trash punk, not sure if it even has any name but I crave this so much I would read, watch or play anything that gives off these vibes.

It's quite unique. Not much like it unfortunately. No Guns Life maybe?

And the Nausica manga would also fit in the biopunk aesthetic.

Go away until you grow out of your shonen shitter mentality.

>If anything it's "demonpunk"

HayaQpunk

I can accept that

Super creepy.
Yeah.
According to the rumors, besides the stuff of darkness, Zaha-Sanko also had something called the "Skin of Darkness"

you don't really need the brackets, it's just to make it easier to figure out where the text goes.

Punctuation ALWAYS goes inside of quotation marks.

user, brackets are to show that text goes into narration boxes. You don't keep them while typesetting.

I wonder if it'll somehow take place in dorohedoro's universe. A bit of same face going on with Zaha who looks like Shin/Nikaido

It may or may not matter, but Hayashida is not using the word "hyperspace" travel. I decided to not change it even though it feels strange.

Come to me, flesh of darkness.
Nice.
Looks like we're in the middle of high-speed travel.

This artist has the objectively best art-style out of everyone there is. But i still can't believe how shit dorohedoros ending was.

He even has Shin's mouth-cut mask. Can't wait to see not-Noi.

Thank you user!

man, she really loves cute characters with disproportionately grimdark costumes huh

Not getting a sappy hollywood happy end is good, you shiteater.

This. MagePunk.

I always thought the word "grunge" when imagining her art style.
Whatever it's called, it sure sounds like this

Curse was such a cool concept.

It all just reverted to exactly the same as it was before. The ending feels like i got blue balled in the worst possible way.

I was happy with how Kaiman and Nikaidou's story ended personally, they both sorted their shit out and had decided what they wanted to do with the rest of their lives. It's the others I felt a bit more blueballed by, like with Ebisu and Fujita where it felt like the author was actually about the write an ending for them earlier on but then got the go-ahead to extend the story so she backtracked on that, and then never really went back on it.

I'm sort of sad that devil Nikaido couldn't last

She can't draw other style. Yuck

working on page 17

What's wrong with having a style and aesthetic?

are the tankobon extras from the last volumes of dorohedoro translated yet?

I loved the extra stuff, like chidaruma's daily life

It's probably the first time he reads 2 series by the same mangaka.

It's distinct compared to other comics in the magazine she's working on right now but it still looks just like her previous works Dorohedoro Maken X and that other one shot.

And?
Look at Mizukami who has incredibly similar character designs and general style between his manga. Or Urasawa who also has a very consistent aesthetic.

I love this
God I hope this one goes on for at least a few years, Dorohedoro in Space is awesome

mangadex.org/chapter/559592

I think he means that some of the designs look too similar, not the art style. Using Mizukami as an example you can clearly tell his style apart but I never feel like the characters look too similar.

People don't seem to hate Boichi despite his blatant character-reuse

Yes.
>Anonymous said as an example, “this is where commas go,” then clicked on “Post.”

I was faster :^)

nor Murata

I'd disagree mizukami characters look incredibly alike in my opinion. Especially coming from Samidare to Sengoku Youko

Or Leiji Matsumoto

big thanks user. im hoping this doesn't get canned - dorohedoro is one of my favorite manga because its just so well constructed

So a page it's missing? and its avakian?

Looks pretty fun so far.

Thanks

Thank you translatorkun and typesetterkun

I loved Dorohedoro but I'm not feeling this so far.
The bizarre art is spot on, but I got more the feeling of a short oneshot than the first episode of a series

slightly related, but does anyone know if there's anymore information on the anime adaptation of dorohedoro? i'm not holding my breath but i'm curious to say the least

It just hasn't bothered to vomit out its entire setting at you in the first chapter, I expect it'll start to reveal more as more chapters come out.

It's fairly short for a monthly manga's first chapter, so not much can really be set up. Dorohedoro's was shorter though. I just looked and it was only 24 pages long, which is ridiculous. I think it's fine though. It introduced what I assume is the main character and he's in some sort of conflict. You're right that it doesn't feel much like something introducing a new story, it feels like a chapter more in the middle of a story, though there's nothing really wrong with that.

I figure the meeting between Q Hayashida and her editor went something like this
>EDITOR-SAN: Hey buddy you went pretty heavy with fantasy in your previous manga, maybe you can try a change of pace, sci-fi maybe?
>Q: No problem!
And then she drew magic users with skeleton masks in space.

I think maybe is how the supossedly main character spent unconscious most of the episode while the space pirate rambled about ruling the universe like a saturday cartoon villain. It wasnt very catchy.

It does feel kind of oneshot-y, we were already introduced to half of the guys in the cover and seems like the whole place caught fire already, pretty fast paced too, we're not in for a slow start which makes me scared
Wasn't this supposed to start in April tho

oh man I really hope the anime does the manga justice

I don't have much hope for it, unless they get a really competent staff.

Nice, I'm glad it came out relatively quickly after Dorohedoro ended.

Dorohedoro is urban fantasy. Don’t need some stupid punk-ism attached to everything

With no studio or VA announcements my hope is pretty much nonexistent.

What the fuck, she didn't plan Dorohedoro's story at all from the beginning? It felt like the opposite when reading it: that everything, at least regarding the central mystery, was planned meticulously from chapter 1. My mind is blown.

It's too early for that stuff.

Shin is cute at least

Yeah it did feel like it had a fairly planned out plot, the only thing that didn't feel planned out was how long certain things would last. Hence why the final arc lasted so fucking long beyond her original dates.

>this is just space cobra with dorohedoro's artstyle

It's MEATPUNK you imbecile

Right?? what the shit, i literally just read the whole thing for the first time the last week and the plot is rock solid in those terms, everything feels like it was meticulously planned and deliberately put in place. Either she's lying, she got really lucky on how the things ended up lining up, or she's a genious when it comes with coming up with stuff.
The only thing that felt out of nowhere was hole kun but at that point i was like yeh okay you deserve that i leave you pass that one.

Most mangaka have this issue, the only cases where there's a drastic enough difference in character design styles is when the mangaka has been around for long enough time for his entire art style change entirely like say Araki or togashi, and even then they have a lot of samefaces if you compare characters from the same era, specially Araki.
