Futanari no Elf - Ch. 3

[MangaDex]

Why was [chapter 1-3] reuploaded [when there is already chapters available]? o.o

@darkomantis: New scanlator group has taken this manga up. The original one stopped because it got too risque, and the one who translated this chapter originally took it down for some reason.

 

[darkomantis]

@MarqFJA87 What I meant by my comment is that this new person uploaded another set of chapters even though Tiorlan
already translated them.

@darkomantis Consistency, probably. It's never been exactly uncommon for groups to just drop a series in the middle for whatever reason and another group to pick up where they left off with their own translations; that creates problems if the group doing the continuation doesn't use the same name and term translations as the group before them. A good example is the manga Karin, which had about 4-5 different groups translating it, with the group doing the final volume or so displaying a massive drop in quality and an extremely important plot-sensitive term that was previously translated as the Fountain of Psyche being translated as the Fountain of "Pushuke".

Granted, consistency isn't going to be much of a problem in a risque gag manga like this, but it's a pretty nice thought and one that I wish more groups would have had in the past.

@darkomantis Some time before valryssian first uploaded ch.3, I left a comment in the manga's main comment section as follows:

I'll be working on ch.3.
(Will use this comment in the case that a reader whines about there being 2 versions if someone uploads a ch.3 before me.)

So ch.1-3 were uploaded simply because I said I'd do it.

 

[MarqFJA87]

So technically, Send_in_the_Killer_Clowns and their group had already started working on translating this comic before valryssian released their work.

@darkomantis: Perhaps they weren't satisfied with the present quality? MangaDex has no rule against multiple groups/individuals offering different translations, and in fact encourages such a thing happening, because an environment of healthy competition is one of the best ways to root out subpar translators (I've seen my share of crappy translations in my years of anime/manga-fandoming).

@MArqFJA87 wtf are you talking about he stopped because the scans were shit quality and he was doing it on his own. He wanted to share the manga but now that SKS is scanalating it there is no need for him anymore. He's like Batman when he gives them the hero they need.

 

[MarqFJA87]

@bigdaddy12: I'm the one who is having trouble parsing what you're trying to say.

@MarqFJA87 @bigdaddy12
I'd like you both to kindly shut the fuck up in this comment section. Tiorlan did an all right job given the scans from the author/artist were shit and it was his first time.
And SKS is not working on Futanari no Elf, two random scanlators are: a self-commissioning freelancer and a group leader. That being the case, you better hope Tiorlan, valryssian, TofuRina, or any other reader/scanlator that isn't completely incompetent decides to continue Futanari no Elf if you want regular updates because I only upload chapters when I feel like it.

 

[MarqFJA87]

@Send_in_the_Killer_Clowns: Hey now, such overt hostility is unnecessary. You act as if I was claiming Tiorlan was doing a shit job - which I most certainly did not.

 

[bigdaddy12]

@Send_in_the_Killer_Clowns you mad bro?

I wasn't even critiquing the quality of the scans I'll read tiorlan and im very thankful for what he did, I was essentially quoting what he said in his own post. That's why I called him a hero at the end. Relax tiorlan is based
