Oh hey, a chapter showed up.

 

[dazzr]

oh hey, another chapter showed up. always makes me happy

 

[Ogamiitto72]

I need this whole series in my life. Where are the missing chaps?

 

[Agent_Gunther]

such a shame that there are literally hundreds of untranslated chapters of this series. its such a fantastic series.

The link to the official English page is for the G13 gakus or "Best of Compilations" which contain handpicked chapters from the series, with the last volume containing what was a then recent chapter about the 2000 US presidential election. The gakus didn't do very well, hence all the volumes, including volume 1 only received one printing. I'm thankful, if nothing else, that Viz has them available digitally for Amazon Kindle.

What's rather amusing about the whole thing is that Takao Saito's other works were released, albeit digitally, on erenta, and Amazon Kindle. Works like "Hawking", "Dingo", "Barom-1", "MUYONOSUKE", and of course "Doll: The Hotel Detective" from Saito Pro and LEED themselves (I'll create mangadex pages for them with links to purchase). But G13 remains elusive.

I suppose its length is fundamentally what deters LEED from doing a full on publication, despite the international setting and plotlines. Hopefully the interest sparked by "The Professional" and the 2008 anime (both have videos on YT amassing over 150K views each) will encourage them to take another chance at releasing the manga (perhaps another set of gakus?) but that's just wishful thinking on my end, so I suppose I shouldn't get too carried away.

Just something I thought everyone should know.

 

[Aur4n]

ongoing for over 50 years?! oh my god

 

[acalashrugged]

Wow.

 

[Golgo13]

Who's the hitman that tagged this as slice of life?

 

[ZeroSeiki]

More like slice of death LOL

I occasionally see chapters come up, the last from folks reupping (what I assume to be) the old VIZ scans. I remember reading old scanlations of the first few volumes some 10-odd years ago along with them. No organizations want to take on the other volumes? I know there's over 200 at this point, but still...

 

[KermUnit]

I pray for the day someone translates this. Yes it’s 200 volumes but I think it’s easier to look at it as only 617 chapters, which it is at the moment, and that seems more manageable somehow

I am dropping a bunch of Japanese Golgo 13 scans. I started with the Romantic Heritage one-shot/compilation today. Next I’ll drop:

- Perfect Machine Of Snipe Collection (Bunkoban) Volumes 6-139 (1-5 have all been translated and appear here on Mangadex), 141-145, 158-164, 168-171, and 174-176. These are in Japanese so we’ll need to get the word out to get them translated; a few of the individual stories might have already been translated.

- Golgo 13 Viz Signature Volume 3 (English translation)

- A few other volumes I will need to scan.

 

[Squiriferous]

Okay so I got banned?! For what?

 

[Eliminateur]

so there's absolutly no way to read this even scanlated?

 

[Buba707]

I think it’s absolutely ridiculous more chapters haven’t been translated, it’s episodic so it really doesn’t matter which order if any of the chapters get translated. Insane. It’s insane we haven’t even gotten a hundred chapters. It’s infuriating such an iconic and long running series doesn’t get more of anything
