Not as long as Kmanga exists, the translation over there isn't too terrible and there's really no point trying to compete with them, be it for legal or release speed reasons
Copyright applies everywhere, no matter if there is an official licence for tl already or not, and huh, i too think the decision from k-manga is terribly stupid and that they should be able to easily get the rights for worldwide release, i really don't understand what they are doing. But that's...
Fundamentally, scanlation is illegal in every country since we aren't copyright holders nor licenced translators, but since the sheer number of people doing it is too high they can't really do shit. And from what i've heard, kodansha was lenient about teams that didn't try to make money out of...
I understand the sentiment, and i too hope that the aggregators will be properly grabbing the chapters (and that the chapter will be great to begin with), but it's not realistic to continue working on it, sometimes for a week, when the chapter is already out on kmanga, and possibly on every...
Idk, we've heard from someone who asked some kodansha staff that they had some tolerance for scans as long as we didn't make money out of it, one of the two reasons we didn't ask for any donations for chapters (the other being avoiding internal conflict over the money, and i'm sure we could have...
Sadly we would undoubtedly be always late on their releases, and while they have tolerated the scans over the years since they didn't propose their own alternative, they now decided to take care of it so they might not be as lenient as before
if it's about ux you can throw a mangasee123 chapter link into cubari to get a good reader, mangasee is one of the better aggregator sites (picks up official tl when it drops)
Or use tachiyomi if you're on android
Aggregators will pick it up, and fighting against a company that can release it at the same time as japan is kind of pointless, we would need to find leakers of the magazine and none of us really want to bother doing that. Though, as said in the announcement, we'll pick it up again if k-manga...
Don't you worry, good quality aggregators like mangasee123 will surely grab them as soon as they are out
Probably nothing, but as said at the end, we might pick it up again if kodansha messes up
@ABCsOfLife Not only is there a new chapter this month, it has more pages than last month's chapters combined (as well as the most pages in a month out of any chapter so far), so the translation is gonna take a WHILE (approximately 70 pages).
@Rugid yessir I am not a fucking professional, I'm only doing this because there's nobody else, I don't know the first thing about editing outside of the main 3 tools and styling text, I have absolutely no idea what the Levels shit is about, if you have a problem with that PLEASE do take over my...
@Rugid I have absolutely no intention of doing any kind of compression and butchering the already shitty image quality so no thank you, you'll have to deal with this crappy site's crappy servers.
