We did our best to answer everyone's questions, but if you still have any doubts, ask away. We are also working on keeping a close relationship with everyone involved, more news on that will be forthcoming. All three roles must be filled in order to form a group. Proofreading the translations, rewriting if necessary to make sentences sound more natural, slang that may be more appropriate for English, grammar and spelling.

This role will also double as "quality checker", to look over lettered pages to make sure no sound effects or translations are missing, and everything is ready to go.

Babe we couldn’t get much mire — Elder Scrolls Online: Murkmire review

Making sure pages are clean of Japanese text and dust, and rotating pages. Putting translated text in with appropriate font, changing font sizes and type when necessary. Translating from Japanese to English, making dialogue and text as close to the original as possible but still sounding natural in English.

As long as we have your real information, you can use an alias in the credits if you wish to keep your identity private. Will my affiliation with scanlation groups hurt me? We are looking to recruit localizers, people who have skills and want to be part of our community. We are not concerned with whether or not you may have scanlated before, that is your business with what you do on your own time.

Currently we are planning to start off with mainly yaoi titles, but eventually we will add more mainstream genres like shoujo and shounen. Who are the six publishers? At this time we are not able to name any publisher publicly.

• Translator.
• Gate Keepers - Wikipedia.
• Diabolo: Volume 1 by Kei Kusunoki.
• Circles the Trilogy: Volume II: Revelations?
• Diabolo [Manga] | Awards | LibraryThing?
• You're here.

We will announce this once we are able to. Are there deadlines, and how long can I take to work on one title?

Shonen Jump Vol. 9, Issue 1

There will be deadlines, the actual time length will be announced at a later date. There will be bonuses and advantages to finishing more than the minimum. Why can't I choose what title I want to work on, why must it be from a packaged set? You can choose which set to work on, which may have some of your favorite titles. We are also trying to make it fair for groups, by having a variety of quality titles in each set. This should help average out the potential sharing revenue, and no one group will have the advantage of only best-selling titles.

Will we have the option to work on a minimum of 3, 4, or 5 books per year? There will of course be advantages to working on more books. One book would be like one volume of a series, or a one-shot. The program we were working on unfortunately has gone back to stage 1. Therefore, it's back to the "old fashioned" way of editing, translating, and typesetting via your program of choice i. Will the titles that are popular enough to be published get printed in it's own imprint or a Digital Manga imprint? This is still mostly under discussion, be we are planning to give each publisher that joins their own label.

How contractually bound will I be to finish a title? What if something happens and I can't be a part of DMG anymore? We want the Guild to be a helpful and open community, so in the event that a member or group can't finish their work, they find another group to take over. We are working on the details. How much are we going to get paid? The Guild is still evolving, terms of payment will be announced at a later date. Again as a reminder, all revenue will be sales based, not on the amount of hours put in.

Please also keep in mind that the revenue might not be much at first, but it will grow. Then, there is the beautiful mess of Nier.

Diabolo Volumes 1-3 Tokyopop Manga Complete Set

Nier is about a doting dad and his sickly daughter living in the far future of what is heavily implied to be our own world. It also stars a cynical magic talking book, a foul-mouthed huntress wearing the most ridiculous outfit in video games this side of Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness , and a sweet and dangerous boy. In addition to its entertaining storytelling, Nier has a striking visual aesthetic that strongly recalls ICO and other Fumito Ueda games, a soundtrack that absolutely deserves its stellar reputation, and some excellent voice acting.

However, it also has some janky animations, alternately fun and annoying combat, meh sidequests, forgettable farming, and bad fishing. It is not a great game, but at the same time, it is. One of my greatest regrets in not ever getting a WiiU was missing out on Mario Kart 8 , so I was delighted when this Switch port, which includes all the DLC, was first announced. My only real complaint so far is that the new Rainbow Road is somewhat underwhelming.

Comments Off on And Then…. Since I reviewed a selection of games from the previous year, I figured, why not do manga as well? Still, better late than never! As with the Games Selection, a bit of explanation is needed for the setup. The series are presented in alphabetical order, with no rankings whatsoever. The other students bully and ridicule them, making them outcasts in their own hyper-competitive school.

However, they have a chance to turn their fortunes around thanks to a secret government project in which they will receive a huge cash prize if they assassinate their teacher Koro-sensei, a grinning octopus-like creature who has destroyed much of the Moon and threatens to do the same to Earth. Koro-sensei, by the way, is a shining example to his profession, and through his lessons and various other adventures—the best of which often involve one-upping the horrible student body and administration that treats Class 3-E as outcasts—the kids come to love him.

The setting and characters appear to be the results of some painstaking research, yet there is also a Japanese flavor in the leisurely pacing which is a hallmark of manga. Some of the finely detailed art can be shaky at times when it comes to the basics, but otherwise, this is a very good slice-of-life drama. However, this time, instead of a teacher, it is a student. Sakamoto-kun is cool beyond cool; a tall, suave wunderkind of mysterious origin who always seems to have the right approach to any problem.

In this way, he makes the best of bad situations, gently guides his classmates in positive directions, and earns the admiration, or at least the grudging respect, of everyone he encounters.

There is drama aplenty in My Love Story!! What follows, then, is a cute and hilarious tale of their relationship, and all the little milestones they take along the way. Another, perhaps more remarkable, thing which separates My Love Story!! Goda is a somewhat clueless but extremely likable hero, and the scenes with his best friend Makoto Sunakawa are frequently enjoyable glimpses of an honest and true male friendship.

Given the rough year that we will all undoubtedly face ahead, I highly recommend this series as a joyful escape. I will be sad to see it end—the final volume should come out in English later this year—but will be rooting for Goda and Yamato the entire time. The art is astonishingly good, too. I must note that although this is an excellent drama, one of the early spoilers carries a trigger warning with it; read this review if you want to find out more. It begins with a peculiar island where a young girl frolics with her friends, people can fly, and the residents are insulated from an ongoing war.

Also, Watarai has an estranged son, Kiriya Kitakata, who has problems and concerns of his own. Tying all this surrealism together is the most appropriate art style possible: Otherworld Barbara is most definitely an acquired taste, but if if happens to be yours, it is a fascinating one. In the first volume, our heroine, the jellyfish otaku and NEET Tsukimi Kurashita, has a chance encounter with someone from the direct opposite end of the social spectrum: Kuranosuke Koibuchi, a rich, stylish, attractive, crossdressing guy.

Somehow, they become friends, and when Kuranosuke learns that the charming old building where Tsukimi and her otaku compatriots live is in danger of redevelopment, it triggers a whole big mess of adventures as he attempts to save it. Every single damn member of the cast is funny, and a few take us down some particularly hilarious turns as the story goes on.

Over the course of many volumes, we not only see plenty of limbs lopped off, but also Thorfinn growing and changing through his interactions with his fellow warmongers, a captured prince, and others. Vinland Saga is currently the best seinen manga you can buy in English, which is no small feat. This series, about the adventures of an eccentric little girl and her family and friends, is charming up the wazoo, very funny, and sometimes even carries an air of nostalgia, depending on whether or not you had similar experiences when you were a kid.

Digital Manga Guild

Comments Off on Manga Selections. Just got back from Portland yesterday. I had wanted to write this post either right before or during the trip, but a lack of sleep got in the way. However, I managed to catch up, somewhat, last night, so here I am. To start off with, at the beginning of this month, I beat Shin Megami Tensei: In terms of both gameplay and plot, it was better than the first Raidou game, which I beat earlier in the year. Every so often, roughly once a chapter, a character would ask a rhetorical, philosophical question that basically asked Raidou to choose between revolution and the status quo.

A few days afterward, I finally finished reading a manga series which I had first sampled over fifteen years ago: My first experience with Gen came with a copy of Volume 2, picked up cheaply at a certain bookstore in Philadelphia. Around then was when I learned that my older volumes were heavily abridged, and that the current edition, published by Last Gasp, is complete and uncut. Therefore, I repurchased volumes 2 and 3, and, later on, the last six books as well.

By the end of the first volume, the bomb has dropped, and the story truly begins. Subsequent volumes find Gen making new friends, being discriminated against, and raging at not just the Americans who dropped the bomb and occupied Japan, but the Japanese Emperor and politicians who were so eager to wage war in the first place. Gen is also a violent manga; atomic bomb aside, it hews to the shonen manga tropes of its time, with lots of hitting and fighting, often between adults and children.

Despite its pacifist message, seeing Gen so eager to physically fight people who dismiss his anti-war views is more than a bit disarming. After Gen was wrapped up, and between new volumes of Nisekoi aka the harem manga for people who normally dislike harem manga and the always charming and hunger-inducing What Did You Eat Yesterday? I also cranked through a few short games on Steam. Dadliest Catch , whose controls were the opposite: This game, about an octopus trying to live as a normal suburban father in a nuclear family, revels in the ridiculous.

• Diabolo (manga).
• Manga & Anime Favorites;
• Cristalli di quarzo, manifestazioni di luce (Italian Edition).

Everyday tasks, such as mowing the lawn or picking out the perfect apple at the supermarket, are much harder when your arms and legs are tentacles and you want to blend in with actual humans. The story takes some interesting turns, and although I felt somewhat partially robbed of my final victory due to where a certain object landed, I found Octodad to be a neat little game overall. The pair of included bonus episodes were worth playing through as well. The third short game I played through before leaving for Portland was the shortest and least interactive of the bunch: Produced by the developer of To the Moon , this is a similarly sentimental journey.

In it, a young boy, who goes through the motions at school and is interested in flight, rescues a bird. Thankfully, the length is just right, and most everything about it is simple and straightforward. I also picked up Legend of Dungeon again recently, which has improved since the last time I played it, thanks to some patches. So Long My Love. In addition to playing a lot of games, I read a ton of manga. Even when picking up manga on the cheap, I tend to do some basic research beforehand; the length of a given series and its general reception are the two most important factors.

Like most of the books featured in this post, this was localized by Tokyopop, which abruptly shut down its North American publishing operations in This manga, in which magic is a normal thing in contemporary Japan, is about a seventeen year old girl, Yume, who spends a summer in Tokyo for magic-user training and certification.

Her everyday adventures, tinged as they are with magic, reveal her to be extremely empathic and wanting to do the right thing, but, at least at first, without much serious thought put into the potential consequences of her actions. Her biggest hurdles come in the form of lessons about life, death, and happiness, and, on top of that, her teacher has issues of his own. Yume definitely fits the moe mold: Aside from some mild and occassional emphasis on certain body parts in the art and composition, there is nothing creepy here, just a coming-of-age story about a teenager who also happens to know some magic.

I wonder why Tokyopop chose to release these two volumes individually, rather than compiling them into an omnibus; it could be because of the way the story arcs are structured, or a restriction imposed by the original creators, or something else.
