Raws just came out yesterday (2/10)

Release (Estimated: tonight 2/13 at the very earliest, sometime tomorrow 2/14 at the latest. "today" and "tomorrow" are based on GMT+8 (- 1/2 a day for all you on the East Coast of the US -15 hours for all you on the West. Those of you in between can figure it out from there, I will assume. )

Although I am in a very similar position to http://japanzai.com/...hp?topic=1921.0, my duties are more to my group and this project is extremely important to krytyk. Chapter 13 will be released in some way or some form, but I will likely delay it. Perhaps I will leave a troll release up for an extended period of time-- I am considering using the raws to make one to put up while we finish scanlating the project. We are also considering releasing via another media which Grumpy may or may not allow us to put up on Batoto eventually. I will have to ask him about it once we have all the kinks worked out on what it is going to be exactly.

Please keep in mind some of the following things:

- Manga Heaven does not receive ad revenue from Batoto, websites or other places.

- Manga Heaven has never and will never accept donations. Use that money to buy the raws from Amazon.co.jp or YesAsia or wherever you buy your Japanese manga from and support the authors and publishers.

- Manga Heaven does not want our name or work associated in any positive or assisting light with Noez or any of their properties. This is why we are supportive of Batoto and why we are waging war against Manga Fox. We do not believe money should be gained from the mangaka's work.

- We do not condone the use of bot scripts to strip manga from readers and do not wish our work or our name to appear on any such site that uses dishonest methods of manga acquisition.

- We have mentioned that we are making a new website. Unfortunately, the person in charge of that has been... absent. I may use Weebly or something to set up something for us temporarily. But I would need to find the time and motivation for that.

If you have any questions, feel free to respond to this thread, ask in our IRC channel or PM me personally. I will try to respond to everything I can.

I am in a similar position to souldrake, this project is indeed, important to me and i'd like to keep it running, but even my patience IS NOT limitless. And in future it might occur that our group will stop scanlating altogether if this continues.

And about the chapter... well the QUEEN IS HERE~, says it all .

[Katimusha]

ok that explains chapter 13 i wasnt sure what was going on. I completely understand why you did what you did and i will just wait for the actual release whenever that may be. Also keep up the good fight against manga fox

[greensoulreaper]

That was...interesting. Good luck, Manga Heaven.

I was like wtf when I saw chapter 13 was out considering that the raws were released just recently. Anyway, off to mangafox and look at their forums. I'm fine at waiting.

[cloudyfog]

lol now even writing on some1 wall moderated on mangofux forum, and post need to be approved by mod. xD

[soranokira]

troll chapter expected to stay up only for 1~2 more days depending on my mood and public opinion I suppose.
I might as well mention here that the sneak peek pages for chapter 13 are not in order (if you can't tell yet) and uh enjoy the troll while it lasts.

...ARGH!!!!! Why??? because u said that i clicked on it...

[chaotix37]

WEll I need to wait for the ****** to remove just to read em properly. Im a sad panda

[krytyk]

The chapter is still in the works, so ~~ As soon as we finish it itll go up.

[soranokira]

well, troll chapter removed since krytyk thinks we shouldn't troll peeps on batoto anymore. previously drake left it up to me so..*shrugs*
either way, stay tuned to this thread to keep track of the progress I guess.

[Souldrake]

I just got back from Taipei where I went to Lantern Festival with a few friends. It's 11:00 or close enough to and I'm tired but I am going to get a few pages translated before bed... as soon as I catch up on the QQ on Manga Fox and Manga Here.

The real release might take longer than usual (well it already has as I usually have less than a 24 hour turn around on the TL/TS) as I am going to experiment with a way to release clean though I am not sure Grumpy will allow it to be posted on Batoto so when it's ready I will find someplace to upload it and put a link out. Sadly, we are pretty much stuck with having to use permanent watermarks just to get the message across. As expected, the manga fox users don't give a rat's ass, and if that's so, why don't they just do us and themselves a favor and tell Noez to stop uploading our crappy releases (watermarks or no).

soooo my face when i saw the mF fags rage lol good stuff.... i kinda wish there was a way we could get those sites taken down

[Souldrake]

Really, the only way we are going to "win" is to stop scanlating. But if that happens, everyone loses and no one wins. Hopefully a new approach will actually work. I have my doubts, but... we will see. I have to at least have some hope, right? lol

[Jessie1892]

I really got surprise when I saw the censored. Although I'm glad I did see it now I'm stopping using manga fox, and join Batoto.
Thank you all for all the hard work done.

[Souldrake]

Going to reply here just to say TL/TS complete. Krytyk went to bed, but it's in his hands now (OP modified to show status change)

[krytyk]

Just woke up, gonna work on it asap. Expect release within 24 hours~~

[Souldrake]

I think krytyk is being a little too optimistic with that release estimate, TBH. It will release when it's ready and "soon" ™
