Never see this manga talked about, let's see if we can fix that.>Meet “the Killing Machine” Owaru Endou: the cold-blooded and strongest hitman of a massive underworld organization, who has decided to retire out of the blue. His reason? To stan his favorite underground idol with his head held high! But old habits die hard, especially for a man whose hands are stained with blood. Can Owaru truly shed his identity to live the ultimate fan life of concerts, meet and greets, and picture lotteries—even when his past comes knocking?

I love it and its dry humour but waiting for the volumes is hard.
>>287286928>>287286931Some sites have up to chapter 18, most are only up to 15. Might consider making it a daily if enough anons are interested

>>287286981Yeah, I'm only up to c15. I think someone is scanlating it again because IIRC vol 3 official eng isn't out until this summer. >>287287046Kaori is super cute as a heroine and I love Ritsuki for her long, black hair but as an idol I'm a Sakurafag.

>>287286686It seems like there's been a lot of these "Hitman quits to try and become legit" stories lately
>>287287328
>>287286789His face in the last panel is killing me.
>>287287339
>>287287354And that's the end of chapter 1.Hope you lads enjoyed.
>>287287367I hope it attracts some faggots, I post in now and again in OPT but I feel like it'd win over a lot of fans if it wasn't just some 'obscure' Hartashit. I don't want shounentards though.
>>287287431What's the appeal of attracting readers that won't pay for the series?
>>287287010Will you turn wagie for your oshi?
>>287287046Sakura a cute.
>>287287232L-lewd!
>>287287431Harta's done plenty of stuff that became popular, it just sucks we have to wait 2 months between chapters at the best of times
>>287287328I can just visualise how this sequence will play out in an anime.
>>287287367Thx mate. Looks fun.
>>287287478It's the classic piracy argument.If someone wasn't going to pay for your product in the first place, chances are they never would without seeing it. On the other hand, having more people talking about your series means more people who would pay now will.
>>287287478What makes you think nobody will? If there are zero new readers, zero people will buy the manga anyways.Almost all the manga I've paid money for I had pirated before to some capacity.
>>287287431Harta is hardly obscure. The fact that it has translations in the first place already makes it be better off than the majority.
You should consider getting 4chanx, OP. That way you can queue all pages instead of having to backlink them one by one.
>>287287334I've seen a couple, but still doesn't hold a candle to the number of Exorcist Battle Shounen I've seen post-JJK
>>287287656The only people really supporting manga are those reading in Japanese and those aren't going to pick up series just because they are posted here.
>>287287686Harta is obscure in the minds of shounentards, newfags, animeonlys and so on. >>287287478Discussion of the series which is why we're all here, I don't care whether someone pirates or buys. Especially not official english, which has virtually zero bearing on whether or not the manga is commercial successful/doesn't get axed in Japan.
>>287287521I bet all Koumefags are super annoying. Except that one bro.
>>287287704That sounds more bearable than sitting here solving captchas for an hour. Thanks, I'll look into it
>>287287646Yen Press already provides reading samples.https://yenpress.com/titles/9798855416237-the-hitman-stans-vol-1People that need to read everything before buying barely purchase anything.
>>287287749>Harta is obscure in the minds of shounentards, newfags, animeonlys and so on.So people that don't matter at all.
>>287287778I mean, you still have to solve captchas, unless you get a pass.Post enough and you'll get a lot less requirements for verification.
>>287287742Most of the series I end up picking up I did so because I saw them in /a/ first.And just because I can't read japanese doesn't mean I don't buy the tanks.
>>287287742Maybe it's just me, but I ended up buying plenty of series because I saw them posted on /a/ first.
>>287287807Yeah, cause 20 pages (not even half a chapter) is more than enough to give my money to yen press.Fucking retard.
>>287288173>>287288196Post your recent purchases.
>>287287749What are you going to discuss? There's only 15 out of 22 chapters translated, spoilers are going to be a significant issue if people aren't on the same page.
>>287288327I bought the 8th ARIA the Masterpiece volume. You'll have to take my word for it, since I'm at work right now.Also colori colore creare, but it hasn't arrived.>>287288356Have you never been in a storytime thread? The idea is discussing the posted chapters, and if you want to talk about future developments, you do it under spoiler tags.It couldn't be simpler.
>>287286719KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*faints*
>>287288454>I bought the 8th ARIA the Masterpiece volume. For what time span is that? Today, this week, the whole month? That volume came out three months ago, you'll have to do a lot better than that.
Don't indulge this self righteous idiot
>>287288555If you claim you're buying plenty of series then it should be more than one volume every three months. Don't use racist insults that are far more suited for your own kind.
>>287288327Mieruko volume 14 and Urabaito volume 18 in the past week.
>Idol girl revealed as the daughter of Prime Minister in the 1st chapter>Bad guys brazenly kidnap a pop idol in broad daylight, in a public place.Is the manga industry just letting anyone become a mangaka these days?
What i ask myself whe i read this manga is where the hell they get this managka from and why is the first work from him that reaches this part of the world. The art has extremely high quality, a quality you dont normally see.
>>287289012There are a lot of excellent manga which are first time works. This, Witch and the Beast, MAD, Bugle's Call... that's just from the top of my head
>>287286693space buns <3
>>287288971Always has.
>>287287478Reading along with other people is fun!
>>287289012They got them from Terang which was a program for new authors.It's their first under this name but you never know if they didn't make BL or similar before.Harta in general tends to have high quality works and the Yatagarasuhai entries are always worth reading. Each new series and one shot gets a unique double page preview. Here's the one for this series from volume 98.
>>287288971>he doesn't understand absurdism
>>287289012The anatomy and proportions of everything is very good. But what would you call this kind of art? It looks very 'digital' to me, although I can't remember if there's any of that awful inserted photograph shit in it (whatever that's called).
>>287287333The buns shall not be infringed
>>287286736>never meet your heroes
>>287286750At least he's into underground idols. That's a lot more respectable than regular idolshit.
>>287286796>shinedTL-kun...
>>287286828then just become a killer for justice, silly.
>>287286928based bossman
>>287286981Seconding on the daily part.
>>287287010I appreciate him still wearing the black suit & tie.
>>287287046It's koume for me.
>>287287072:3
>>287287126Oh no, she's retarded...
>>287287185I do love the expressions so far.
>>287287232Healing.
>>287287722Did Bleach or YYH inspire similar waves?
>>287287367I liked it a lot. I think it feels more like a oneshot than a full series, though. I'm curious as to how it will continue.
>>287288613>reporting for racismMan you are one huge baby.
>>287286686Hey OP, you should consider dumping the YP version, since it has volume extras. Or at least posting the extras themselves. https://nyaa.si/view/2036512
>>287290589This. The art is good but the action and paneling feels kinda stiff.
>>287290926Genki retarded, anon.
>>287291063Don't reply to normalfags like that.
>>287288971if the third page >>287286719 didn't give it away for you, then wait for the anime.
>>287291452He shouldn't reply to anybody like that.
>>287291141Thanks anon, truth be told I already have the torrent but just prefer the TL group's translation. Between that and consistency I was planning on sticking with Dark Reunion Translations' all the way through, but I'll do YP up until the end of volume 2 then switch to the scanlations.I really hate the english publication's title. Oshi fits the same niche as Moe for me as otaku loan words and I hope anyone who uses 'stan' dies painfully
>>287292539That's fair. I think posting the fan translation with any volume extras yp may have would be a good compromise.Unless the tank had updated art, I guess.
>>287287194>still not touching her with his handslol
>>287292539It's bizarre how the Japanese, French, Polish and German versions all use Hitman's Fave but the English publisher needs to change it.
>>287286855lol
>>287287367from the thumbnail it look like the LIVE face.
Reminds of that yakuza househusband manga.
>>287286686Manga like this never get popular in /a/ at least it has official translations so is not all bad. I hope we get more translations for Seinen Comedy manga
Me and my waifu
>>287294687We'll get there, anon.We'll get to my favourite chapter eventually.Until then, remember your spoilers
>>287292260Faggot.
Enjoyed the story time, I think I read this at some point since I browse aggregators for some reading before bed, so nice to see it pop back up again.For doing storytimes, you guys just doing a post per cooldown if you're not a passfag or is there some fancier method. I read a lot of random crap I enjoy that I never see discussed and wouldn't mind doing myself
>>287287778>>287294890Stitch all the pages to double pages with imagemagick. It makes it better to read and halves the amount of images you have to post.
>>287295069thx, I'll ill try save these tips and try to remember it once I come across something that feels worthy of discussing
>>287294890I'm probably not the best person to ask. This is my first time
>>287286686Excellent choice for dump. I've been reading the manga since it started serialization and buy all volumes on day 1.
>>287295169Just do >>287295069 if you personally think it's worth it. It's not at all common among storytime posters, and basically a personal preference in the end.>>287294890People with no passes just have to deal with the regular cooldown. Years ago the cooldown got shorter if you posted a lot of posts in a row, but not anymore.If you post a ton, then the captchas get easier, and you don't need verification as often, but it's still a pain to do without queuing them in 4chanX or an equivalent script.
For any would-be storytimers, I'd recommend lurking in storytimes for a few weeks and asking the OPs how they do things.
I agree with the statement that this seems more like the premise of a one-shot rather than an ongoing series. Where do you really go from here
>>287296921Kek, you are in for a ride
>>287290589The fact that the manga is made with digital tools is very aparent. But what are you gonna do when using digital tools is the norm these days in the industry.
>>287292260It's common lingo for this site. If you can't stand getting called it, then you shouldn't be posting here in the first place.
