MCL Manga Project

Welcome to the MCL Manga Project! This project was started because it's been... years since the Manga have been completed and there is still no information on if it will ever be available in English. If the manga is ever licensed in English and does officially get published, the project will end, but for now, and for the love of cute new character details, plus wanting to work on my French, this project was created. Please support the Manga where you can by purchasing it in the languages it is available in (French, Spanish, and German), even if you can't read it. You can always cross out the other language or write translations under the bubbles. It's what I'm doing with my physical copies as I work on this. While I do my best to stay accurate, translations may not be perfect. Feel free to suggest if you can, but doing our best to keep things in character and close. Just remove /chrono if you want to see the most recent pages for a book instead of in order of published! ------------------------------------- Reblogging is okay. Please do not re-upload or re-post though. ------------------------------------- All Asks are tagged as FAQ.

Hey guys we are once again politely asking please do not just post panels separately without linking back or reblogging directly

If you really want to just post a panel, please remove the translation from the text bubbles.

As an aside, if you really want to contribute in any way to all the time put into these translations, the person who did this also made the MCL Illustration Viewer with options there to help show your support.

hi! i tried the link in your bio to purchase the manga and it doesn't work anymore. is there another link?

It seems they have stopped selling it after Beemoov disabled any way to enter the codes from them... Or maybe they finally sold out.

You can find them on Amazon still I believe.

[mclmangaproject]

can i translate the manga to spanish by using your english translation and scans (i would credit obv) and post it to twitter???

The manga already has an official Spanish translation though?

[mclmangaproject]

Just to address some replies and other messages...

We can try and set this up, but there’s a lot of pages. I hope we can do this some day, but it will take quite a while. For now, I would say the easiest way is going to the tag for a specific book, putting /chrono at the end, and reading it that way-- just adding the page number as you go. 

For example, this is for the first Manga: https://mclmangaproject.tumblr.com/tagged/The%20SMS%20Mystery/chrono

And this would be Page 2: https://mclmangaproject.tumblr.com/tagged/The%20SMS%20Mystery/chrono/page/2

---------------------

As for messages we’ve received-- if you do share panels from here, please link back to the manga post/page.

I have been seeing more activity here and elsewhere so thank you for reading the manga!

Please remember to not repost it elsewhere (Reblogging is okay). If you want to translate to another language, that is okay as long as you link back. 

Finally, I may look into doing a translation update sometime soon as while everything is translated correctly, it could definitely be adjusted a bit to sound more natural instead of being a bit stiff at times. 

Either way, I hope you enjoy reading it.

hello! I don't know if you can change the text afterwards, but on page 121 of SC there's a typo: Castiel says "man, you have a way of setting the scene" but you accidentally wrote it as "havf". it's not really major, just thought I would tell you ^^ also, thank you for translating the manga! eternal gratitude

We can, but it can take a bit. This should be fixed shortly. Thank you for reading!

Edit: This has now been fixed.

Hi, just a question. I’m quite sure it was a manga site that uploaded this manga in it’s original language, French. You seemed to have gotten the manga from there and translating it. Do you know which manga site that uploaded this manga in it’s original language and form because I can’t seem to find it anymore. Maybe you should credit the site as well since I’m quite sure it’s therefrom you got them.

The site I was told about was filled with a lot of issues and in some cases, could even redirect people to bad sites which is why I never linked it. It was essentially a French manga site. It also occasionally was missing pages which I then grabbed from my own copies. 

While in the middle of this project, it actually closed so I no longer have the link. 

On top of that, linking to the raws/the upload of them in a public way is actually completely illegal. While I can do translating because the manga was never produced in English, as the manga IS licensed in French and can still be bought in French, linking it to any public way would be bad.

If people want to read in French, I’d highly recommend buying the manga. It’s even available digitally. Even if you have issues with Beemoov right now, others worked on it as well and deserve the support, as do the publishers. 

[mclmangaproject]

I realized I never properly stitched the pan of pages 33 and 34 from the first manga together which is just wrong as that Lysander should be seen in full so I have fixed my mistakes.

[mclmangaproject]

Unfortunately, I recently noticed today two pages from the first Manga were tagged incorrectly which meant they didn’t show up in the chronological read tag and I really apologize for anyone who missed it.

I’m happy to say they didn’t really take away much from the story, but if you would like to read them, you can do so here and here. They have been appropriately tagged now and I’ll be making sure no other pages have this issue.

Edit: All pages are good <3 Though, I’ll likely be doing yet another reread... 

[mclmangaproject]

Ah yeah you're right...xD I will put on my youtube account, if i can't then nevermind I don't want to cause trouble to you :c

As long as the videos aren’t monetized and you link back and credit in the description as well as the video, that’s fine. 

[mclmangaproject]

Hello!!Sorry to bother you, I love your work thank you so much! I wanted to ask if i can translate in my language the manga. Of course i will put all credits. Again Thank youuu i love you♪

Hi :) It’s not bother. Thank you for the compliment! Of course you can, but I’d love to know where you’d be translating it/putting it <3

[mclmangaproject]

do you have a main tumblr (for mcl or otherwise)?

I do.

[mclmangaproject]

So, I received an ask recently asking where exactly Chinomiko mentioned the thing about Nathaniel and his boxing and realized I never actually... showed these. These are the inner flaps of each Manga cover ^^; Which has some nice commentary (Sorry that these are the Spanish ones! I had them at closer reach than my French set) and that second paragraph in the first one is what refers to that--just quickly translated:

"Regarding the Nathaniel fans, you will discover a new side of him that has not been possible to show in the game yet, but I can’t wait for it!"

I’ll try and translate the rest of these when I find the time and edit this post appropriately. :)

Just a quick reminder, this is a sideblog and side blogs are unable to reply to fan mail!! T~T I got a few fan messages recently and please, if you need a response, you must send it through the askbox.

[cintychen]

Sad because I thanked you in a fan mail how much I loved your translating and how much I appreciate your effort T-T ❤

[mclmangaproject]

I saw!! We can read them at least and I really appreciated your message :) 

But we can’t actually reply to them (it literally will never get to you--Tumblr will act like it sends it, but it won’t actually do so) and I never know if the people who send fan mail want me to respond publicly or not (I don’t want to call anyone out if they wanted to remain private).

Also for your question, you’re more than welcomed to translate it to Hungarian <3 Just please credit for the original English and the scans ^-^

But yeah, just use the ask page and then we can reply no problem!! But we can’t respond to fan mail :(

do you know if theres scans of the pamphlet given out at Japan Expo of the first volume? like the sample pages?

Yes! You can find them here.

It’s essentially the original cover as mentioned in the cover designs along with most of Nathaniel’s chapter up to the choice selection.

[mclmangaproject]

And with that, the final page is now done as well. Learn about how the cover was made and why it was changed from how it originally looked at Japan Expo~

Now onto... second manga chapter and bonus pages.
