I’m going to paste the same announcement I made on Discord, I would prefer those reading this to make an at least temporary Discord account and join our server because you can actually vote there and chat with me/others directly to express your opinion. Here’s an invite: https://discord.gg/BVS2Hytqrm
If you’re unable to make one no matter what, you can reply to this post, dm us, or send an ask.
The announcement is mostly about Teiichi, Toro no Ori fans have nothing to worry about (as of now).
We're going to scanlate one or two more chapter of Teiichi, then we'll move onto a different method that's not going to be scanlation, but most likely the raw images next to the translation.
The 2 methods that I can think of right now:
- You click on the text boxes and then you can see the translation
- Images on one side, translation is on the other
At the end of this post I'll post a sample page of each method, two using the first one.
You can also offer other ideas, but what's almost dead certain is that when it comes to Teiichi, we're not going to have typesetted images beyond the next (two) chapter.
This post would be way too long if I explained every single reason behind this, if you would like to know more, we can also discuss this on Discord. Just know that it's not possible for us to continue with Teiichi the way we did 'till now.
We either do this or drop the manga, which I don't want to do because there are many translated but unreleased Teiichi chapters. This manga is quite hard to work on and as far as I know, not that popular, but of course, if a scan group has the talent and resources to work on it, go ahead, just please contact us first if possible!
This might not be as pleasing to the eye as scanlated chapters, but it's better than dropping it altogether I think, not to mention how much faster it is.
You will notice that the images are edited to be a bit of a worse quality and have watermarks on them. This is because I don't want people to use the raws or the translations. Some of the raws were bought, so I don't want people to just have access to high quality raws.
If someone ends up using the images or translations to release scanlated chapters, we're going to stop altogether.
I apologize from those who hate this method or who will stop reading the releases from now, but either this or we drop Teiichi.
One Note
(This image is from another manga because I don't have a Microsoft account, but if this wins the poll, I'll set up one of course, this is just to show how it would look like.)
Aaaand that’s the end of the announcement! Please make a Discord account and join the server if possible, or if you can’t, let us know here! Thanks!
