I kind of figured that was the case, which is why I wasn't super miffed.

Anyway intriguing, so there's more than one alien species with their own dimension suits I guess.

Also I don't mind this concurrent updates, with two different scans they may be able to catch up.

Don't get why anybody cares about a concurrent release, not like we're out here talking with Japanese commenters discussing the most recent chapter. As far as the English speaking fanbase goes, the scanlation IS the regular update.

It's not about the discussion, but rather, the chance of grabbing the digital chapter and translating it at that moment when it's not locked behind some hard-to-access paywall and the least thing we can do is just wait for the tankobon release. At least, that's what I experienced when I read most of Japanese titles. Idk, man, manga distribution is really weird nowadays with timed exclusives and their coins, and not even counting all of those digital-only oneshots and what-not. Thank God some mangakas now are more willing to share some of their chapters sample on SNS

Could be that they thought the previous group have finished or are working on chapter 13 and above, so they might as well not waste that effort scanlating a chapter that's already being worked on.

I do wish they'd combine part 1 and part 2 into one neat whole chapter though. I know the japanese raws also use this system, and it sucks there too.

Here's a wild notion: talk to the group currently translating, and alternate chapters with them. As in, the anon handles 15, they handle 16, and so on. They clearly have a source for raws, so ask them for copies, if you can't get them. That way, you're not posting into the void, appealing only to people who, for reasons beyond my comprehension, are willing to read later chapters with no context, and/or people who can read Japanese, and thus have no need for English translations. Bonus points, you won't annoy people outside of those groups.

Also, this still doesn't explain why someone feels the need to cross-post this to MangaDex. Let it stay on /a/ where it's (apparently) wanted. It's pretty obviously not welcome here. Unless, of course, that's why they're doing it. In which case, carry on, I guess.

when the gap will be closed, we will have like 15 chapters to binge read, I don't get why everyone is being aggressive, the other group is very good but they were super slow, so this is a win for readers.

You do know that imageboard archive sucks for long-term image storage, right?

You do know that imageboard archive sucks for long-term image storage, right?

Given that I've dug up archives of boards that are over a decade old, it seems like the main barrier is how much people care about archiving it. Mind you, that was stuff from /tg/, and mostly the sort of RPG stories that people feel are epic enough to be preserved for posterity. But it can be done. And I'd be shocked if /a/ didn't have some means of doing it, other than uploading here. They've been around for much longer than Mangadex.

And, TBH? It's not especially relevant. This is being uploaded on a site with a culture that tends to hate massive gaps in chapters. Expecting people to not be vocal about disliking it is ludicrous. It doesn't help that 4chan has a reputation of being inhabited by trolls who enjoy making people angry. I know that's reputation is at least somewhat overblown...but it's also not entirely unearned, either.

Also, why do you even care about this translation at all? You can read Japanese, right? You were certainly quick to tell everyone who was getting angry to just learn the language and read the raws in the other thread. You shouldn't have a dog in this race in the first place. So why are you even arguing with me?
