what cadence has this manga?

I suppose you're talking about translators and the group is Animexis. They're progressing as fast as they can but they need help

[maffa]

no no i mean the manga... is it a monthly? a weekly? a onceinawhiley?

it's monthly

[maffa]

thanks!

[manOfFewWords]

I thought this manga is bimonthly (once in two months), but maybe the mag turned into a monthly one (I don't remember).
 
Spoilers from untranslated chapters

Spoiler

Kagari turns into a cute loli (but only for a few pages)

 

It was revealed that Takamiya was training under Kazane when he was younger, but then something happened (probably something that cause Evermilion to be sealed inside his body) and both his and Kagari's memories were wiped.

so at the end of the day, no more witchcraft works scanlations?

The anime episoes are 4, the last one was released and dubbed yesterday (and i love it, expecially the ending song is great), but im craving for more manga! i wonder how far into the manga the anime season will cover?

 

 

1) I made the general discussion page so this type of conversation would be held there. 2) if WCW is getting licensed in English, there's a strong chance Animexis isn't gonna risk a lawsuit and will drop their translations and scanlations. Or it might end up like Naruto, One Piece, and Bleach; where they're still translated and scanlated even though they've been licensed

It's a good question, and hard to say. As far as the licensing thing goes...........frankly, I've seen the release of anime versions stall manga scanlation efforts just as often (if not more often) than the licensing of them has.  >_<

I'm curious. What are some examples?

Oh, just off the top of my head, Kämpfer, High-School DxD and Maria Holic come to mind........of course the relation between the anime airing and loss of interest in the scanlating efforts on the manga is strictly my opinion too.

 

And those few really are just off the top of my head, I've personally noticed this a lot.........the anime comes out and all of a sudden releases start getting sporadic, slow to a crawl, or just stop altogether. I've for a fact seen it mentioned on scan group sites as part of the reason for ceasing scanlations in at least a few of the cases.

which is strange... i mean, isnt the anime a strong advertising for the manga?
I would understand if the anime was so fast to cover the manga and the subbing manages to keep the pace that the anime eats the manga (like Uchuu Kyoudai), but now there is a pretty gap between manga and anime (at least as far as WCW is concerned)

edit: just went to animexis website, it seems that there are only two more chapters to scandalte, but they came out at sept, 2013... is it on hyatus?

Fantastic

Fantastic

In the "big picture" it should be considered a good thing. The title's been successful enough to be recognized by (and marketed to) a larger, paying audience. Good for them, good for the author.

 

I go back to my Kaibutsu Oujo/JManga example.........hey, awesome, I'll pay for the shit I want, no problem.......just do it, get it translate, get it printed or online, and don't fucking lollygag around about it.

Nice foreshadowing on chapter 15

It's not possibly his fault. It's mainly Kagari's and her mother's responsability for letting weekend and all the tower witches to do as they like around the city, AND not giving him any tool or knowledge to be able to cope with all possible crap that eventually came.
