I know I couldn't have been the only one curious about this line, so I looked at the original Japanese raw I've got on my HDD. In the version I have, it mentions「イーブック」or "e-book" instead of "scanlation" No clue what the original version said, but I'd imagine it was changed with each new...

Yeahhh, when I saw that during my translating I was shaking my head. The character himself actually ends up being pretty fun once we get properly introduced to him in a few chapters. It's really just the name and character design which are dubious. So dubious, in fact, that in the anime movie...

Nice art in this. I've only seen Combattler V, though. Gonna have to watch Voltes V and Daimos as well for more context before I continue this.

Hero? Sounds more like they'd be a villain for spreading that AI/MTL cancer.

@Predatornoa Our groups have all collectively stopped using MangaDex, but new chapters have started being posted here every Sunday: https://cubari.moe/read/gist/cmF3L3ZpZ29yb3VzamFtbWVyL0thZ2VtYXJ1L21haW4vS2FnZW1hcnUuanNvbg/

Didn't even realize there was a continuation. I know Akimoto-sensei has been infrequently releasing chapters since the series ended, eventually being collected in volume 201, and I think soon volume 202 will come out. Is that what you're referring to?

It's been finished. Our groups all collectively boycotted MangaDex because of their new shady practices. The last few chapters were released on WeebDex back in January, and I posted a complete volume batch in February...

This should actually be vol 2, chapter 11

Yes, this is obviously the true origin of the piloted mech suit. The super baseball suit! lol. In all honesty, if everyone's ready for a bit of a history lesson, while Mazinger Z popularized the piloted mech suit in 1972, it actually wasn't the first series to feature it. The very first...

Actually, I was surprised to discover this, but... the 12-volume edition is actually the second edition. According to Kodansha's website, that edition was published between Oct 20, 1998 and Jan 1, 1999. The 10-volume edition, however, was published between Oct 19, 1990 and Nov 11, 1993, as the...

Really glad you translated this interview along with the main series. It gave us all some nice insight into Yuuki-san's work around that time, as well as anime and manga production in-general. Was definitely a good read.

Kind of a shame Flecca was knocked out for most of the second half of the manga, only to wake up right at the end. I'm betting they were planning to feature more of that automaton before the series got canceled, but all things considered, this is still a somewhat satisfying ending, despite me...

Volume 2 continues the weird chapter merging by the publisher. I have no idea if this is an accurate representation of how the chapters were originally serialized, but this is how I would split them up (continued from my comment on the previous volume): pg 003~066 - Chapter 1 (part 5) pg...

Hey, I appreciate the translation! I do see that you skipped the omake pages, but that's fine. The weird part to me is how the chapters are structured in this series, with the first chapter stretching into volume 2. I'd have to imagine it wasn't originally serialized that way in the magazine...

Meh, disregard this, I'll keep posting on MangaDex for now. I can't find any suitable alternatives yet. If any of our releases get taken down, just grab the chapters from the DDL links on our group's blog: https://jamminscans.wordpress.com/
