Just go to literally any other manga website. Batoto won't update the chapters because of some weeaboo slapfight.

 

There's no reason to try and read it here.


Oh, and mods. Feel free to ban this account. Later.

Eh I don't have an issue honestly.

I recommend you take a look at Aereus's reason found towards the bottom on page 2 in the thread before this.

You might change your tune then.

I have to say I do find it frustrating I've been reading this and gotten quite far just to have those chapters removed by the mods, but I do understand why they removed it and respect them for it. It shows they're a respectible trustworthy group, and it looks like the manga is still being uploaded by someone just not as quickly as before.

It isn't the end of page two - which has since changed - but shall I assume you mean this:

 

 

It's not a matter of wanting my name on it or not. Do you honestly think I'm that petty? I dedicated 2 years of my free time weekly to doing these scripts and want to see it done right. I owe the author and you that much. And they were never intended for scanlation use either. It's a matter of they were rough scanlations he did privately for practice and were not meant for release. Someone else found a link and posted them without talking to them nor knowing who the translator was despite expressing interest in finding that info out. Had he waited for a response from BokuBoy, he would have also been able to get into contact with me. The translations are decent, but in some key dialogues I was unsure of what exactly was being said for certain important plot points. I would have wanted to check and correct those first before they were posted, and also check over the cleaning since he was a newbie and learning to do it.

 

Heck, look at the credits page to the other series I'm working on and tell me it's about me and not promoting the author/series? It's pretty much there only for info about the author. I don't otherwise touch the actual chapter with any credits, watermarks, funny comments, etc. It would be disrespectful to mark up the art with my own tacky logos or credits.

I don't find it unreasonable that he may have wanted to ask about posting them. I also don't find it unreasonable that I would want to run a check over things before they're finalized and posted. Does that not seem reasonable to you?

 

The authors for these weekly magazines put A LOT of time and effort into this stuff. We're talking 60-100hrs a week. I want to respect their hard work by making sure I am providing an accurate dialogue of what is said. Japanese is a tricky language and it can be easy to reverse the meaning of a sentence to the exact opposite. That would be bad for readers, right? Those are the kinds of tricky lines I need to check over, as for the LiveTL when I generated the script I only spent 5mins or so per page and "punted" on difficult portions with iffy guesses.

 

Because of all of this I had someone I've previously worked with come forward to offer cleaning help on finishing up the series from where my LiveTLs left off. I'm okay with BokuBoy's efforts being put back up in the near future, but can you give me the time to contact him and get him to make the revisions? I'll then also work with that person to finish up to the end (107).

 

For example, here is a portion of my manga collection in support of authors. All imports, often for titles that aren't in English or weren't at the time of starting to collect the series:

Spoiler

 

Or, what actually was on page 2, this:

 

Last comment I'll make on all of this:

 

It's not that I want to keep it "for myself" it's that literally every single one had absolutely zero scanlation experience. They wanted to take it, use whatever random JP>CN>Thai scans they found online and recompress it a 4th time using block text in MS Paint default font. And every single time they uploaded first and asked questions later, if at all. Includiing this time, where it was some kid who was well-meaning, but ultimately as merely copying the images over and doesn't possess the skills to scanlate.

 

And this happens again. And again. And again. And again. So yes, I default to being a bit touchy about it.

Had any actual group or staff came forward, I would have worked something out with them, like how I even gave BokuBoy all the magscans for his practicing.

 

What this taught me is to just never release an unchecked script online again in the future.

 

(so that people don't have to look through the entire mess...)

And, It isn't that I don't think they have a right to their translation. They do. I just found the demonization that was going on to be hypocritical and ironic.
