From author of "3x3 Eyes" comes a boy-meets-girl story for the new century.

Two "Heavy Ark" units have been stolen from the United Nations by the terrorist group "Ambak." Shiro Ninomiya, a high school student chosen as the suitable person to activate the "Extraterrestrial Mechanized AI Schnellgear" sleeping within the "Heavy Ark," clashes with Blanca, a UN pilot who also controls a Schnellgear. The journey of these two to break their predetermined destiny begins here!

To be honest, the 90% rule really hits mecha manga hard. Never mind authors being really weird, like the Jinki guy who has made three mecha manga about rape up to date.

I mean, i still would like for them to be available for people to read and judge on their own.

Rape is his art. He likes ripe. I follow him on twitter and he even somehow managed to make girls getting raped and turned into fuck nuggets in Gundam Breaker 4.
>>
>>23895272
For you to speak so "matter of factly" about this says a lot about your sick state of mind.
Seek help before its too late.
(It's already too late for you, but there may be others that can be saved.)

Genuinely impressive. I assume you mean he built a gunpla that somehow was rape instead of just drawing art of the girls.

Tokusatsu Gagaga.
Here's a random cap of a typeset page to show.
Once it's finished I kinda want to premiere it on /a/ a chapter at a time or something since I'm doing this entirely solo as a hobby and it's my first actual translation project so I'd want to put it somewhere it can be more visible than it would be buried in a Mega file or something.
I've got all the (v1) scripts done doing my QA at the same time as typesetting. Benefit of going solo.

I still think the secret to saving manga translations is to do what Shoujo/Josei fans did before it got destroyed. Create a webpage for manga that lets you click on the bubble text, and in another part of the page, you get a rectangular blank space where you can put the fan translation.

Shoujo/Josei fans did it in the 2000s and it worked before the purge, why can't we make it work?

Gee I fucking wonder why something that worked in the 2000's might not work anymore. Are you fucking retarded?

You are a hero.

I've thought about that manga for roughly a decade now after someone did the first few volumes then evaporated. Actually sucked it up and grabbed the raws. I'm glad someone is giving it the translation it deserves.
>>
>>23897507
Because in the 2000s you didn't have AI bots and dumb and malicious people from the wrong parts of the world with no standards. You didn't have DMCA hungry lawyers. You didn't have dumb normalfags invading hobbies they don't care about. The worse you had was the occasional troll or autist schizo doing shit because it was funny and that was significantly easier to both handle and clean up. The old days are dead and gone.
>>
>>23894871
Tsunashima is a gem. Very good mech designs, clean illustrations, and gorgeous characters.
>>23895272
As sick as it may sound I agree with this. When he worked around censorship to use the "lightsaber" effect into a wave energy penis for his male-robot-turned-girl-human character I recognized him as a true genius
>>
>>23897572
Qualia the Purple is worth hard cash and I kinda liked Orichalcum Reycal, because it was very close to being a Busou Shinki manga.

You just want to give up. The fan-translator website can work, just create a rating system so readers can give feedback and choose a rating like "okay" or "accurate to the original authors intent"

Ratings help create better translations, and the dopamine from getting the highest rating will produce clout chasers. These clout chasers will translate manga for free because they only want clout as payment.

I'll decide for myself what to translate and what to pass on!
>>
>>23898142
Clout chasers would only translate the most popular shit that already gets translated, though. They wouldn't translate an obscure abandoned manga when they could just provide an alternate translation to the popular Jump thing and get more eyes.
You get more translations of obscure works either through passion or through monetization (i.e. actually running a licensing business).
Really the "ideal" manga translation site is just something that resembles a non-broken Mangadex in terms of its functionality, but that doesn't have Chinese or Korean slop. Both because that shit mugs up the platform but also because the legal problems that manga "streaming" sites have is mostly the result of Chinese or Koreans issuing takedowns.

I disagree, what you said is true but is not the total true, clout chasers for niche topics are more dedicated than clout chasers for popular series

battle ground workers has an english translation, but seemingly only through singapore on shokukan asia. i wanted to get it for my birthday last year but because of CURRENT EVENTS making shipping dogshit that's a pipe dream along with me trying to get a nineball model kit the year before that
it's a shame about gun driver and that's my space opera, those look very neat

You have the option of using multiple translations. You should harness the power of the people, and those who provide bad translations should be banned.

I found out this manga exists literally 4 hours ago because I found a random twitch stream playing "Blue Seed" on loop and I went to check out what the Author has been up to on wikipedia. Already got it downloaded and will check it out.
I'd probably translate more stuff if the photoshop side of it wasn't so fucking aids

Photoshop is old news, scanlators already have custom software to translate Manga

According to SauceNao, Linebarrels Chapter 39.
Have yet to reach that chapter. But so far, pretty fun manga. Would say it's worth a read.

You assume there will be multiple translations when that is rarely the case. Usually once something gets translated that's it.

With our new tools, even if you don't have the resources to help directly, skilled translators who avoid editing and cleaning can finally pitch in. We can also create bounties for manga series to incentivize this.
