2 WHOLE YEARS? HOW FAR BEHIND ARE WE?
I'm sure one could make an argument about stale-series like this one being free-pickings once they return to serialization, but Kyun seems to love to snipe dedicated groups (claiming quality concerns). The inevitable result of this is multiple groups scanlating one series; there are thousands of unappreciated series out there on which your time is better spent. Such a waste of resources.
In my day, quality was not just about translations, but was a serious and dedicated effort towards leaving the manga in as-good a state as you found it. That meant not only a genuine and concerted effort into translation integrity, but also following lettering conventions, and committing to real redrawing. Kyun talks the big talk about translations, but can't follow through with the basics. Their lettering is inconsistent, and they clearly use AI tools for their redrawing (which, I admit, have improved tremendously since my time, but certainly still serves to illustrate the point here).
I have doubts about Kyun's sincerity in their historical claims of translation integrity; I'm not sure what they're chasing here, but their actions do not seem to align with a dedication to the craft.
I appreciate that Kyun does not appear to accept income or donations for their work, and I certainly do not mean to defend Mylene's corner cutting (Primovic and I have had many discussions about my problems with their work and practices), but this all seems very pointless.
While i agree that they should've waited to see if Mylene Scans actually returned, in the end a "snipe" doesn't really mean much in this instance because they left MD a long while ago (and anyone that use other sites would've noticed because the couple of series they do get updates by them somewhere else but not here, like them stopping Tonari no Seki at 53 here, but having it up to date at 118 somewhere else), and they actually returned and dropped a chapter just to announce like an airport that they left MD, so this became ever more free to grab here, though i would've still preferred someone if else to pick it upNot to mention that Kyun works at full speed when the team they're sniping keeps working and even improves its release schedule, but shows absolutely no sense of urgency when they're the only ones translating a series. They uploaded the latest chapter of Kusunoki-san just two hours after the raws were released, while it took them 8 days to upload the latest chapter of Mob Shisai dakedo, a series they're the only ones translating.
None at all. The manga itself went on a 2 year hiatus. This is the first chapter that's been released in the past 2 years.2 WHOLE YEARS? HOW FAR BEHIND ARE WE?
