Sorry about the long link. The filename had kanji and it renamed it to that.
Cool thanks! I love this manga and hope scanlations continue. Meanwhile I got the raws to look at the pretty pictures.

Just read volume 7.
I was wondering if page 18 is missing in chapter 71?

I love this manga. Too bad it takes so much time for each volume to come out.

I like the mangaka, so i like this manga too.
The main story about Jin is good and logic as other mangas by Katsura, but i cant understand the side story about the rich kid from mid volume 3 to mid volume 6. It's stupid, too violent and sex, rape scenes with young girls, that's unforgivable. Can anyone explain to me?

Unforgivable? It's a seinen manga, that's typical content.

I guess you're not a Berserk fan....LOL.

The rich kid storyline is for the sake of character development, yet IMO find his character rather silly and uninteresting. I won't lie in that I found myself skimming over the dialogue filled chapters that featured his storyline. I have no problem with character development, I actually think it is imperative for a good story. And is what separates Manga's (good ones) from most other genres.

But there is nothing worse than wading through chapter after chapter of storyline dedicated to a character that you don't care about. I'm almost up to Volume 6 at this point, was wondering if someone can tell me if it gets any better?

I find the pacing to be extremely slow at this point in the story, I keep waiting for something to happen.

I can't remember exactly what was happening in chapter 13, but yeah, probably. I remember a few time-skips.

Those Chinese raws are from magazine scans. We wait for the volumes to be released in Japan then use those. That way it's easier for myg to edit and looks loads better for us all.

Zetman is cool, but personally I don't think it's in the same league as Gantz, and definitely not Berserk. *shrugs*

Kiddie mangas? You mean like pokemon? Naruto and the like are meant for teenagers, not children, but I guess it could be considered kiddie. I've seen stuff in lots of shonen manga that seems inappropriate for children, but that doesn't mean lots of children don't still get into those mangas. I just hate it when they edit the shit to make it for children. *shrugs*

Hi guys i haven't read this manga for a long time and was thinking about reading it again. Mostly cause i thought the art was cool sometimes specially how Zetman and the other creatures looked.

I was wondering if Jin's story becomes real good ? I can stand the uninteresting rich kid if Jin's story is interesting enough.

I think its was digging yourself a grave by the author to show the future of the rich kid and Jin. I cant see the annoying little punk becoming some uber dangerous guy that takes down Zetman......

OK, so I think Kouga's a little shit too, but he's kinda important. Wouldn't Zetman be a little plain without him? I mean we're pretty used to moody reluctant heroes clawing their way up from the gutters but I haven't seen that many characters like Kouga. He's mega-rich, girls throw themselves at him, etc. but he's competing with our anti-hero Jin. And it's the contrast between them that makes Jin so cool. :D
