OneManga.com is shutting down

Can't get enough of the Japanese-inspired art form? You've come to the right place.

Actually about the americanisation of scanlations, does anyone know if the americanised version is what gets brought to Europe? Because I detect a flaw with that logic... (I know that happens with TV, but manga could be re-translated easier)

Also, there are sites that are legal because they don't host the images, they just have the translated dialogue for you to read along with the manga. Not the easiest thing to do but, who knows, you might pick up some japanese...

Do you mean official releases? (you said scanlations so...)

It depends on the company as far as I know.

Ah, yes I meant the official ones, sorry >.<
Getting mixed up with terms, I'm new to manga...

It might be the only manga I read (because it's f***ing awesome!) but DAMN IT! I still need to properly support it! I'm waiting for the English scans to catch up! Even if it takes over a year! It's an awesome crazy fun entertaining manga with a non-cliche style and it deserves my money!....I'll just read the latest scan I haven't read yet then I'm OFF THE STUFF FOR GOOD! >_> Super-cereal-promise!


Ho ho! You wish you were me my soon-to-be-jealous friend. For I, prepare to be amazed everyone, actually BUY MY MANGA:

And it continues to grow. HO HO! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Seriously, I love scantalations because I feel like I'm getting a true translation of every japanese word, but that won't help the industry, so I prefer to actually buy them even if the translations are americanized, because, you know, I'm american and don't know how to read japanese.

In the bright side, Viz didn't do a 4Kids on it and completely americanized it.


EFF YOU(jk). BUT STILL I'M SO JEALOUS.
