Zetman

Post by Nekomimi »

I couldn't believe it. NO threads for zetman!
Am I the only one who likes this, gory, a bit sexist, maybe cruel, but so
damn cool manga?

Hmfp, I didn't intend to start reading it, I knew nothing about it. But it was an Evil_Genius scanlation! So I begun xD

And I love your work, as usually.



Im mostly drooling over the main character Jin. But the main attraction is the story itself. Ahh, and the art. I love manga the more detailed it is.

The storyline is creepy. I got hooked after the first few chapters with the young Jin jumping around and asking money for saving people. I just have the bad feeling this manga will be sad.

Lets talk!

Well Zetman isn't in my top 40, but it's still a good read if your into seinen with some violence and action.

Yeah, the pace of the releases is horrible, but I like it. It's no Berserk or anything, but it's alright. I do like the art too, it can be pretty detailed sometimes.

I think it's awesome. It's totally brutal in places but then Jin is really sweet. I also think it'll be interesting once that blonde kid is set up as a 'hero' for contrast with Jin.

What chapter's it up to in Japan anyway?

Me i havent read Zetman for a long time.

I read it mostly cause i like Jin and the art is something special sometimes.


How is the story? The last i read was that rich kid losing his hand when he tried to play a superhero.


Has Jin reappeared in the story yet?

I just finished reading chapter 80 and I wanted to jump in here and show my appreciation for bringing such a great manga to the masses. Thank You Evil Genius from Bogotá, Colombia.

I wasn't speaking of the speed of releases but the content inside them. The character development is frequently drawn out to the point of dull; although I can't say that about the last few chapters. They were interesting.

I thought it was pretty quick moving. Probably cos I read it all in one go!

Anyway, any theories on where it's going? I kinda reckon Jin'll be switching sides to keep the players in line rather than exterminating them. He might even end up protecting them from richboy. I mean, most of them are just blending in and getting by, right?

Kouga will join the players' side to piss off daddy and gramps, while Jin hunts down the players. Jin becomes a sort of Blade Runner against those players, and eventually will clash with Kouga (from the very first scene).

On this occasion it should be mentioned that there won't be any new Zetman until the next volume is released in Japan. I as well as other group members, refuse to work with inferior magazine raws.

That said, enjoy.

I know its been 4 months but still.

Do you know when that'll be?

And could you point me in the direction of the raws for chapters 81 on. Thanks.

1. We don't post raws.

2. Volume 8 is slated for release on the 19th of October. That's ten days.

Well, it is true that there isn't a topic with rules in it, but if you are addicted to internet (and i suspect you are since you are trying to get your paws on new releases straight from the people that translate it) then you have the common sense to understand that it will be translated and released one way or the other. Preferably in chapters so that we don't get the whole thing and then have to wait another five months.

And one other thing. :twisted: Don't let the scary man with a strange hairdo and funny eyes frighten you. :twisted:

Right.

Still right.

Wrong on the intent. We are not machines. You get it as soon as it's been finished and QCed. We don't hide a secret stash of chapters. But maybe we will in the future. We might try out the Pavlov's Dogs experiment, but with manga releases.
Kurodoura wrote:So is the whole volume going to be scaned and released or will it be released chapter by chapter
That being said, if you want to have it in a volume, that's fine. You'll just have to wait 6 months instead of every 2 weeks or so for a chapter. But it is a dumb question though, if you look at the trend of our releases for Zetman, it's always chapter by chapter. It's pretty easy logic.

Well there is a topic about guidelines and rules here http://www.evil-genius.us/forums/viewto ... ?f=1&t=446. But you wont see anything about not asking info on the next release, because I guess it only becomes a problem when it is abusively asked. Which isn't happening here because it is common knowledge to not ask.
And one other thing. :twisted: Don't let the scary man with a strange hairdo and funny eyes frighten you. :twisted:
Who's the frightening one, your the one with some kind of a burning elf in his hand...
But I guess your right, if he had seen these videos, he should probably be scared :D

It is not an elf it is a bunny rabbit. A cute little bunny rabbit at that. Or at least it was until it was incinerated by flames. You can see the end of it's ears in the hand. And that picture only means i like to eat rabbits. There is nothing unnatural about that. Is is a primal urge to fill your stomach with meat.

Back to the topic anyway.
What will be the test, a whistle, or something else for the experiment to work. I know it will work on me, since i drool by just seeing the spoiler.
