Which Mangas are you reading?

Post by **Libaax** » Wed Sep 20, 2006 11:21 pm

Are you kidding?

Is it a raw?

Post by **ZombieToaster** » Thu Sep 21, 2006 1:09 am

couldnt it have been that the guy first writing the news spelled it wrong as 17 instead of 19?

Post by **Finito** » Thu Sep 21, 2006 10:30 am

I dont think so, I heard the same that Ares had more than 17 volumes and that some people had read after v17 too. Someone talked about it in the Kmt forums too, but they used some old backup for their forums so the messages were lost.

And of course it is a raw...

Edit: Thats one of the reason why I didnt talk much about Ares ending at v17.

Edit2: I just checked back and I did mention the Ares series ending at v17 in the "Dangu and other Manhwas" page 7.

Of course its raw what was i thinking

Do you know how many vol was realesed before it got canceled?

Gotta ask KM guys if they are gonna realese everything.

Post by **Finito** » Thu Sep 21, 2006 5:00 pm

Yeah it would be interesting to know where it stopped or if it ever stopped. We are pretty short on any info except that some people have read above v17 and Silverado says up to at least v19.

We dont really know which company went bankrupt and we dont know if he ever stopped the series.
Is it the publishing company releasing the volumes(which most probably is), is it the company in which he was serializing the chapters or is it both of them.
It is most probably the publishing company, since if you lose your serializing company, you can do without it or just change.
If its the publishing company, maybe he just continued with the serializing. Or it would be interesting to know where(chapter) was the serializing when he stopped.

Yeah since its korea and not japan what we heard about Ares might not be true.

Sure hope he still realeses the chapters in weekly mag or something.

Post by **Finito** » Thu Sep 21, 2006 5:17 pm

Oh yeah, and we dont know in which country Ares was published, was it Korea only or Japan too. The company who went bankrupt could have been japanese or korean.

And Silverado your raws are in what language?

Post by **Libaax** » Thu Sep 21, 2006 5:33 pm

Shesh i took for given it was the korean version.

Forgot that it might have been in japan the thing happened with the company.

While searching the web, I found some other series with the name Ares

Except for the name, no apparent similarity.

GREAT NEWS!!

One of the k-manga pmed me back this

"It's totally awesome, but we have news saying a different company picked up Ares. It has continued past v17, and is now on volume 19. Keep reading on-- it's no longer canceled ^^"

With what Silverado said about vol 19 this means its twice confirmed that Ares isnt canceled

Post by **Finito** » Wed Sep 27, 2006 7:01 pm

Good to know another company as taken it over.

Post by **silverado** » Fri Sep 29, 2006 2:03 pm

Since Ares is a manwha the raws are supposed to be korean. I'll upload the raws in the next days/weeks, but before uploading I want to ask you something. Do you really want to spoil this awesome series? Since there is no other (faster) group then KMTS translating it, It might really be better if you just wait for kmts to release ther stuff. Otherwise you will spoil this (awesome) series forever.

I dont ever read raws not even on avreage mangas, so i would never ruin Ares for myself.

Post by **Finito** » Fri Sep 29, 2006 7:22 pm

You should just leave that choice to the readers, they can choose to spoil it or not if they want to. Distributing the raws leaves us the choice to choose, it can also help kmts if they dont have the raws yet or have suckier raws.
It can also give the chance to another group to scanlate it since kmts is not the fastest around lately, a little competition might speed things up which would be good for us readers.

Do release the raws for the love of scanlation

Right now I'm reading:

Rose Hip Zero
Melty Blood
Air Gear

Has anyone read Level E? It started off kind of so-so, then got real good by Volume 2. Definitely recommended.

Post by **Libaax** » Sat Oct 07, 2006 10:44 pm

What is it about?

Post by **Lungs** » Sat Oct 07, 2006 11:20 pm

It's about a rogue alien with a personality dysfunction and an unsuspecting earth. It's done by Togashi, the guy who did Hunter x Hunter. It's quite a short series, with only three volumes, and each of those volumes feature different group's encounters with the alien. Once you develop an attachment with the characters, especially the alien's comrades, the story becomes hilarious. It's not really meant to be taken seriously, but even so it contains quite serious themes and ideas concerning the paranormal and the exterrestrial. A fun day's read.

Post by **Libaax** » Sun Oct 08, 2006 11:21 am

Togashi when he still could write was great.

I will have to look into to it. There are scanlation right? Not only raw.

For Prince of Tennis fans chapters 316-319 has been realesed by two diffrent groups.

Post by **ZombieToaster** » Sun Oct 08, 2006 2:37 pm

I read all the scanlated chapters of tough about a week ago and i cant wait till they release more

Post by **silverado** » Sun Oct 08, 2006 4:02 pm

I've started reading I's. The worst decision I've ever made since Ichigo100%!

Post by **Albator** » Sun Oct 08, 2006 4:40 pm

That's a gratuitous post. There is no point in comparing both. I's is one of the best shoujo out there.

The main character is not goddamn annoying, show real character development (Manaka character development: 1 page: the time skip) and guts.

All the casted girls are meaningful to the story and are not trashed on the way.

A touching ending according to the story, not some random fanshit contest.

Can you elaborate?

Edit: I just realized you say you started reading it. You might consider finishing it.

Post by **Lungs** » Sun Oct 08, 2006 8:09 pm

I''s is nice on the eyes. It's been to long to remember what it was about.

I read 6 volumes of Rookies yesterday, god help me, it was so incredible... but for the first three volumes I wasn't sure whether or not I had already read it. Ah, bloody good one that is, though. Manga has the best idea when it comes to belligerent thugs, I haven't seen any other kind of artform handle them so well.

Libaax, they're at JJ. Direct download! Yeah, did you get up to the part in Hunter x Hunter when the gang was on Greed Island facing off against all those insects? The quality of animation was horrible. Terrible. Unforgivably bad (I did lose interest around then). I reckon that was when he was working on Level E. Because Level E is very well done.

Post by **Libaax** » Mon Oct 09, 2006 12:57 am

I do like Rookies too, the scanlators are slow though.

Try MrFullswing if you like baseball even though its more comedy than baseball.

Have you read Slam Dunk?,Hajime no Ippo? Easy the two greatest sport mangas ever.

Post by **Lungs** » Mon Oct 09, 2006 8:50 am

Alright, I'll give MrFullswing a shot. That's on JJ as well, eh? Can do.

Nah, haven't really read any other sports manga. Wanted to read Slam Dunk but only because I'm a Vagabond fan and I respect the art-work. Oh, no, I have read some sports manga, I got pretty into Eyeshield 21. That was cool.
