it doesn't really end with rape though, since rape requires actual penetration and they got whacked with a broom before that. what they did falls under sexual assault, I'm pretty sure. even if we forego that distinction, the series doesn't end on that note, there's a couple of chapters after.

From what I remember the ending was a timeskip with the kid who was somewhat his disciple, now grown up and reminiscing about the Kojiro duel. He made illustrations for it for some expo or some shit.

That's a blatant scam.

Feels good man. My only complain is that it's often harder to find good quality raws than translated ones on internet.
There's nyaa but the quality of their png is often garbage.

Better that as an excuse than axed(me and the devil blues) could be continuied but is not(highschool of the dead) or left in permanent hiatus(GTO paradise lost).

That requires the manga you're reading to actually get licensed which in my experience is an issue in itself. There's even been a couple manga I want to read that were licensed but then not fully translated.

how do i get into translating manga for fun and practice? my japanese is trash and so am i but i'd like to do something like that anyway

>start reading manga
>It's garbage but I can't stop once I started

That's why I usually only read finished manga

>last translated chapter was over 6 years ago
>still on volume 2 out of 10

Any minute now right?

Tae Kim's jap guide is a good place to start
That and just grinding out Kanji
Then start reading raws of some easy manga like Yotsuba& or One Piece or something

i am short of like 600 cards to finish core 6k deck and i've read entire grammar guide like 3 times but i still suck, what do? i want to help translate to make some people happy but i suck too much and wouldnt want to subject people to such horrible exprience

There's worse things than that.
>manga is translated
>3 volumes out of 10 though
>manga was actually localized worldwide but nobody gives enough of a shit to scan and translate it to other languages

Another bad thing
>manga X scans are translated worldwide
>....except for the spanish ones, who are just 5-6 chapters ahead of everyone else
??????????

Just read everything you get your hands on, it'll still probably take years before you start feeling competent but that's really the most you can do besides moving to Japan

Will probably be a rougher start since most VNs aren't aimed at kids, but whatever works
Actually some all-ages RPGs like Dragon Quest or Pokemon could work too

well as long as the kanji isnt on some weird background i can just use screen capture to translate it so its fine i guess

....ortry OSK where the manga had like 8 different scanlatoes, and the quality and the scans go between shit to good.

The current one is an attention whore and she is translating the useless shitty side stories, once a month or 2 months.

Problem are release schedules. They're brutal. Unless you're the likes of Miura and can apparently release whenever you feel like.

Do yourself a favor and don't look up how many Guin Saga volumes are available in English. Sure, it's s a novel so we're talking a ton of text, but it's depressing anyway.

>losing his hard drive
I hear this a lot, but how the fuck.
You should keep any files you've touched in the past week or are planning to touch in the following week on your computer, not on an external hard drive.

If it's hentai make a bounty on e-hentai

It's not a hentai, it's just the standard lewd battle manga. It just has a 4person gangrape in the last chapters.

What? Hagure Idol?

I'm less than 2.5k into 6k and I can read non-chuuni manga with no problem.
You just need practice.
And what do you mean by "hard to find readable raws"? Resolution too small? Where are you even looking? You should be able to find almost anything on Nyaa in semi-decent quality.

No.

Just snipe it if you are unsatisfied, no scanlator has exclusive domain unless they contact the publisher and get a license to translate it.

Yeah at least he's trying. I am glad there is some passion and honesty left, most anime fans these days are smug, ironic, and cynical.

That's what happens when you adapt from books

when is REAL gonna end lads?

Which one

by practice do u mean reading? might be the case, ive been slacking off on that. and yes by readable i mean raws with big enough resolution so that when you zoom the kanji doesn't become a mysterious blob of black ink, a problem especially when it's written in bold

thanks for the interesting read user

No matter what I downloaded form nyaa or those shitty "wait 90 seconds to generate download link" sites, the worst I've seen is that furigana sometimes get hard to read.
To stop slacking off on reading, you can always forbid yourself from reading scanlations of the current manga you're following.

This warms my cold heart.

>you can always forbid yourself from reading scanlations of the current manga you're following
i tried that but usually what gets posted on Yea Forums is korean scans and translations are ironically posted faster than the raws. but maybe im just making excuses, ill have to get serious

The fuck is this from. Don't leave me hangin.

The Vanisher King and his 12 Starlight Maidens

Yomikadou Meijirou is an ordinary highschool boy. After saving a devil, he discovers that he was born with the Seal of Solomon on his tongue, a special power that allows him to control all forms of sorcery and devils. He also discovers that he will die in three years as every use of his power uses up his lifespan.

He is told that the only way to save himself is to establish a contract with the twelve Starlight
Maidens who were born with a special sign somewhere on their body, and to do so, he must lick their sign with his tongue where his sign is located.

>manually inputing kanji into google translate
the fucking MADMAN

>random user translates a chapter that is 15 away from the current scanlators

never happened

How many people ITT are translators looking for a series to scanlate anyways?

Black Lagoon?

Could read the novel

0?

>want to translate stuff to make anons happy
>be too retarded to translate
Being stupid is tough.

How well can you translate shit?

Nip people dumber than you learned the language.
Stop making excuses!
You're just lazy!

I don't know, maybe if I tried really hard I could translate something not too advanced? Depends what you want really, like post a page of raws or something maybe?
I won't deny that, lazy and stupid.

It has furigana. Does this seem complicated to you?

Not really hard, I can read that I guess?

If you're up to translating a few chapters, we can set something up. I already have half a dozen chapters ready to typeset in.

Sure, if you wouldn't mind me I could try and you would see if it's acceptable quality I guess. Do you have any contact info?

I sent you a message and a friend request. Made an account just now. Will be going to sleep now. Good night.

I assume it's when travelling. Say when visiting parents and hoping to work from there. But, make backups people.

>want to read manga
>it's pretty much unavailable worldwide
>only scanlator group holds it hostage and may or may not send you scans if you present them with a proof of purchase
Just kill me already

O used your read chinese cultivation light novels and suffered from this. Translators used to churn out like 5 chapters a day for months and then dissapear for months. Even wors all of these stories are the same so easily forgettable which means 50p chapters to try and reread.

the result probably was intelligible garbage, but man, i can fucking feel this faggot's determination

They're all roleplayers, you've taken the bait.

A man who knows neither Japanese nor English has contributed twenty-seven (27) more chapters to the community than you.
What is your excuse?
