... why not just let Ripe Mango keep handling the TLs for this series?

 

[Osha]

I didn't check the translation group before clicking the chapter and went "wow this looks like shit". And yeah, no wonder.

Nice to see Bocchi's yamcha crater is still there.

 

[metroidprimerib]

We've had a perfectly fine and reliable group on this for years already. No sniping!

 

[ballisme]

it's a snipe, but it's a snipe that's almost a month faster than the other group....oh , the turmoil

 

[brainletcomplex]

This is really bad, why the snipe?

 

[ZAMA15]

she really go all out for the budism in the end huh, also, does that crater refer to a chapter where bocchi make the yamcha pose?

in other manga i saw a similar situation and even make a harsh comment (which i regret and reflected) on people like you (with all due respect) that say similar things. But when you all say, no sniping, or criticize a fan work, why you say that? is there any rule about it in the website? does the other scanlation have any connection with the autor be authorized to make the translation other than the one who who make this? or is more like a cultural thing, where you are more fond of a reliable scanlation and got offended if another kind of sneak in?

this not ragebait or similar, i wishing for a respectful and civilized conversation.

It's partly a cultural thing, but it's not just that particularly when the snipe drops quality as much as this.

Ripe Mango have been working on this manga for a long time, take care with redraws, and do a good job at capturing the nuances of language and humor. This is a much worse job on an objective level on basically every metric. The cleaning is clumsy, the redraws are poor or nonexistent, the translation is poor. There's spelling errors, it's poorly proofread.

Not everyone cares about quality and some people genuinely prefer faster and worse, and I guess this sniper is delivering you that. But the sad thing for those of us who do value the quality is that we will often completely lose our high quality scanlation to snipes like this whereas the folks who want speed just have to wait a little.

It sometimes happens that the original translators drop sniped projects. On top of that, I've seen snipers get bored and drop projects after the original group already dropped it, leaving the manga with no translators.

If you're sniping, at least make it look decent
