Well the reason we all label what series we're talking about in bold is so that people can just avoid the text if they don't want to read about that particular chapter.

That's not what I mean.
I mean, I don't know the timing to when I can talk about it, since I have no idea when they are scanlated.
I'll just wait till someone brings it up and assume that it's out I guess.

You can talk about anything with text as long as you label it correctly. For images, just hotlink until it's in English.

The only caveat is I believe there is a gentleman's agreement to spoiler tag full chapter summaries (like your One Piece work) before the scanlations are out.

Gotcha, understood. I went ahead and edited the previous page to reflect the above.
(the only problem I have though, is like I said, since I don't know the timing of English releases, I should just hotlink everything just to be safe when it comes to images)

Well yeah if it's a Jump manga or one of the manga in the OP list (did you look at our amazing OP btw? it has the spoiler rules too), someone posts about it here pretty much as soon as a scanlation is out! A lot of people use this thread to know when something comes out.

How do you keep track of your manga if you're not using MU? Are you one of those sneaky Excel guys?

I read the entire WSJ magazine.

For example, One Piece/Naruto/Bleach gets a scanlation out on wednesday on a week before the magazine is out.
Assassination Classroom, Soma, and few others gets scanlated I assume right around the time the magazine goes on sale in Japan. Cross Manage is on simulrelese in Alpha, so it should be around this time too.

Meanwhile, Sket Dance is about 40 chapters behind.
PSI Saiki Kusuo is... I dunno, like 30+ chapters behind?

Kochikame is never scanlated and only god knows when one-shots are.


I read all of this at the same time, which is normally around the time you guys get Toriko scanlation.
(with the exception of One Piece, of course)

So you can see my predicament, everything is released completely different timing for scanlations.
 
I wish I could tell you where you can buy the magazine early but people would kill me.

Regardless, you can let it all hang out here and discuss whatever whenever, it's pretty flexible.

Don't be depressed ao-man! It's okay. Post away and I promise I'll go back and read it once I read the chapters in English! (<- I do this anyway)

The only asparagus here is the whole images thing, the rest's fine if you just put a bolded header even if no scanlation is out. Plus yeah most Jump manga get impressions here as soon as there's something in the wild.

I say just talk about it when you have seen it but just take note of the format (Manga title in bold, just link (no direct links) all the pictures since it easier to deal with, ensure the pic doesn't have the name of where its translated since thats apparently a no no).

Wasn't Drake the first Supernova to attack one of the Yonkou's territories? I was hoping to see him during chapter 700.

Yeah, he attacked one of Kaido's favorite islands.

I'm curious what he's up to since he's the only major Supernova we haven't seen yet.
 
Code Breaker 211

Easy non toku, yuki, way to keep me hyped for the next chapter is to have Emperor-dono just suddenly appear. Was so glad to see him and I guess the three others finally gathered meeting once again, though Heiki, as usual :( I really hope this isnt the last we see of Cat Boy.
 
ST&RS 32

Darn if it wasn't cancelled we could still be traveling to different dying planets, saving them, and mapping the whole universe with Peroperopyon. Shirafune Maho could see so much and fill it in, I wish they were able to fill in more of a chunk of it, though address if the universe were truly still expanding or shrinking.

Usually if a series is ending it's announced in the second-last chapter's end note like "Next time... the final chapter!" or something like that. That's not to say Medaka Box won't end next week, it is possible, but it would be odd. It's also possible that it will end in WSJ and be moved to Jump Sq or something.

Most Jump series we only hear about it ending when the TOC leaks.... Mago was a rare case of getting a lot of lead time...

Have you guys seen the One Piece parodies of Nedroid?

Theyre hilarious.

Could only find two of the other ones: this and this
 
Darwin's Game 1
tumblr_mj1ur4agyr1qm9z16o1_500.jpg


This kill or be killed survival game manga is off to a fairly good start. I wish they explained Sudo's newfound ability, (was it copying stuff) but didnt throw him right into his first match right on a train. I guess with that "-nya/kewl" girl, she may save him and teach him the rules against this pandakun, but still would have prefered him being all epic and stuff at the start.
 
Sun-ken Rock 45-47

This manga is porn for my eyes.

Really well done. But again, I'm easy to please.

Anyway, the development is quite interesting. Tae-Soo is once again scheming his plan in the background and it kinda seems like Ken doesn't really know what he's getting into there. He's once again talking about building his state and everything, but despite gaining some influence and followers in Seoul, the jump to the USA is quite big. Yumin's appearance is quite the surprise. It seems likely that she's there to see the same man, though I wouldn't understand what she's gain from it, seeing how she's still on the run from her clan. Their meetup should be fun. The Italian is so going to join them, I can already see it.
 
^ I'll have to bookmark the site just to keep an eye out for more OP comics. The Zoro one is another great one. Vergo one is easily the best.

World Trigger 3-4

This series seem to get a lot better when it isn't focusing on Kuga being a fish out of water. Damage taken while using the trigger disappearing when the trigger is broken is kind of a lame cop-out though.
 
Holy shit, the comedy panels in this are killing me.

This manga has not only some of the best looking panels, but also the funniest I've seen. It's really such a joy to read.
 
It's Not My Fault I'm Not Popular:

Sure, Yuu. Your "friend" did all that stuff. :p

Though it'd be hilarious if one chapter later they actually did reveal Yuu has some sex crazed friend. XD

Haha yeah I remember those One Piece comics. They're great! It's even better when you see Law in the comics so in-line with how he interacts with the crew recently.
 
Sun-ken Rock 53

Ah yes, the Idol arc. I think it was Whippy who warned me about it, when I criticized the fan service in the earlier chapters. I prepared myself for some heavy fan service in the usual Sun-ken Rock style, but I did not expect that it turns straight into hentai. Wow.

smutterfly effect 8

Yeah, bringing Alcohol really wasn't a good idea. It's almost as if he wants to get murdered.

AKB49 117

Hell yeah, Arisu just goes from strength to strength with each and every chapter.

Not Popular 36

... Well, at least she made an effort.
 
Sun-ken Rock 79

This arc was pretty good. I never followed this whole K-Pop and idol stuff, but it wouldn't surprise me if it's really that fucked up. It pretty crazy how influential they're becoming, even when the team itself doesn't grow by much. I loved the reaction of that KG guy, when he found out about Ken being the boss. It was excellent. And gosh, so many panels that scream "BADASS".

I really can't think of another manga that is as badass and funny at the same time.
 
Guys, I've never read a single page of food smut and yet it feels like I just did.

Yeah, I love it when he does shading like this. Both dramatic and gorgeous.

It's really excellent. He also does it sometimes, when doing references or paying a tribute to someone. I chuckled at the Marlon Brando/The Godfather panel.

2 panels where he just poured ink on the page no backgrounds. F. Terrible artist.
There is a severe difference in actual legitimate dramatic tension and solid contrast, and the garbage you call Kubo's work. Plus two panels are acceptable while 18+ pages of blank shit isn't.
 

Angry Grimace

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"

I probably missed it, but why is the ocean full of bunnies in Dressrosa? You can see them on the top panel of the page where Franky talks about his lasers.
