Mangadex is back

2021-06-07T14:50:17Z

Now to catchup on some series. Sadly too many no longer have download options and so many pages are so slow that I'll read two series at once just because the page loads are too slow.

Some yaoi series

2017-01-30T16:00:39Z

Some are so cookie cutter that I wonder what would happen if you take the dialog from one and put it in another.
Granted, this fault isn't just yaoi, but any genre.
That said, if it is a good mangaka, they can do a overused cliché and make it memorable.

I know I should post more but ...

When what keeps me busy, keeps others bored, shutting up is often the best recourse.

The Gaeneviad

2016-01-28T15:02:23Z

I just discovered http://english.bouletcorp.com/2015/02/02/24-hours-comic-the-gaeneviad/
Cool!
Orion will never look the same.

It could be really cool if a group focused on the untranslated manga covered in Kingyo Used Books.
It would be a wide ranging collection of series.

With this slow internet connection, am I supposed to browse or use Morse code?

Best part of today!

2014-10-31T12:50:29Z

Manga treats. Though it seems that Manga Updates had their trick or treat last week when someone caused their site to go down for a day or so.
I still miss Manga Traders -not for their posting the series before the scanlators were ready but because old group series and volume releases.

Aflac commercial

2014-04-11T20:58:26Z

Every time I see the Aflac commercial with its talking duck, I keep getting reminded about the 3 unfinished chapters from Mr. Fredward's Duck.
Darn.

V-Day and where are the goodies?

2014-02-15T04:33:55Z

I was surprised to not see more releases today. Or maybe the series I enjoy the most were the ones missing.

Photoshop

2014-01-06T05:07:47Z

Just found through Techspot.com how to get free Photoshop 2.0. Adobe is releasing it as freeware.
Just wish I had the time to help scanlate.

Chocolate

After reading Une histoire d'un amateur de friandises, Hersheys just ain't going to cut it.

Happy Halloween

2013-10-31T13:29:23Z

May children you see dressed up look cute. For scary looking people, look at entertainment news and realize that they have to spend a lot of time and makeup to put on their costume.

Mr. Fredward's Duck

2013-09-26T20:57:54Z

I was up last night until 3ish and thought that at least when I was reading Mr. Fredward's Duck, it was worth it. Staying up to arrange stuff just didn't feel as good. Did read Slow Step (all 7 volumes). Was just going to read 1 volume but I just didn't stop until the end. I'm a sap for that author and I know it.

Life's interruptions

2013-08-27T15:25:51Z

Started reading Konjiki no Gash. Planned to read 2 volumes a night, right? Well it is now over a month later and I still have 10 volumes to go.

No computer for 72 hours

Catchup time!

I think it is bad when I see Tiger & Bunny on Manga Traders and then have the sudden realization of "Oh wait, that is the real one"
There seems to be more DJ's of the characters in all sorts of relationships than there are of actual chapters.

[Request]3 Novels translated by hiirowing

2013-04-23T03:27:56Z

I found that hiirowing translated 3 novels. However, I cannot find them. I did find some on an old abandoned LiveJournal.
I don't suppose anyone would happen to have the complete text for the 3 of them.
The three are:
Love Times written and drawn by KONOHARA Narise
Nemuru Usagi (Sleeping Bunny) Written by KONOHARA Narise and drawn by KURUMAZAKI Mayu and NISHIZAKI Shouji
Bokura no Oukoku - Arabian Night Written by and drawn by KOUJIMA Naduki

Nifty quote

2013-04-16T21:39:48Z

Take the Chip off your shoulder and replace it with a kitten. You'll feel a lot better.
Actually, the people around you will feel better if you replace the chip with a kitten. That chip may be making you look like the hunchback of NotreDame.

Valentine's Day

2013-02-14T04:42:04Z

What does Valentine's day mean to me? Enough love, smut, etc. to last for a while.
What does the day after Valentine's day mean to me? Time to buy chocolate!

Best part about the Christmas releases is that with so many time zones, I get to enjoy them for more than 24 hours.

The flurry of scanlations releases as stress relief to the finals has ended.
Now, lurkers must wait until Christmas for the next Deluge.
Not seeing many groups do the 12 days of Christmas as a lead-into Christmas. Perhaps there will be those that do the 12 days of Christmas starting from the 25th.

Halloween

2012-10-28T13:01:13Z

The kids get candy; I get visual candy ... now where are those releases!

Adachi Mitsuru kick

2012-10-22T12:42:07Z

I've been going though a Adachi Mitsuru kick lately. I like the way that he sets up the characterization so well that little things end up being hillarious. Granted, keeping track of characters that look the same as in the previous series can be a challenge.
Will probably know way too much about baseball after this.

Unconnecting for a bit

2012-08-02T14:38:44Z

In 8 hours, I lose the internet for 1 1/2 weeks.
Just means that much more to read when I get back.

Waiting for Christmas?

2011-12-22T04:15:27Z

It feels like my favorite scanation groups are holding off for a Christmas release.
