Nice

Ah. a bit of a shame. I enjoyed your use of 'colourful' language even if it 100% didn't fit the character lol.
Well, let the triggered be triggered and the fans cheer you on. also this is just my opinion but it's feels kinda weird to not let other people take on some manga even though you have so much on your plate. don't get me wrong, Danke fürs Lesen do some quality translations. but if those quality translations (and especially on so many projects) cause a massive delay of more than 30 chapters between raws and actually translated chapters (I think the latest raw as of this comment is chapter 47, so 37 chapters if you don't include the "sniped" chapter), then I think it's not such a bad idea to let people who are willing to translate chapters ease your load. if Kafka wants to be stubborn, so be it. (no hate to Kafka or Danke fürs Lesen btw they're great at what they do and I send many thanks for their work).

Nooo i enjoyed your tl, please reconsider.

Remember that groups don't own the series and a manga can have multiple groups working on it.

 

[tangerin]

really hoping danke fürs lesen includes the dont fuck with me

true. it's not like Kafka can sue or something

I never understood the whole "sniping" issue, or groups being so protective of "their" series. I get being annoyed at seeing an upload and it's some kinda Japanese -> Portugese -> English MTL proofread by someone fluent in none of these languages, using an unreadable font, tiny images, and slapping huge watermarks across the page. But like... when a series hasn't been updated in a good while and is way behind the raws, what's the beef? Considering every single chapter on every single series being scanlated since the early pliocene appears to be bookended by "we're desperately looking for translators and typesetters, oh god please help" recruitment pages, wouldn't you be glad to see someone else take over if the translation and overall quality is solid enough?

Surely there must be a middle ground to hit before the prim and proper girl drops the F-bomb.

BTW, I'm not sure you're allowed to create a fake chapter just to send a messsage like this. Won't it just get removed by the mods? Updating the existing chapter and also posting about it on reddit would probably have been a better option.

Man… back to waiting months

 

[occu]

I mean I'm happy to see more chapters but "we saw chapter 9 a month ago and thought it was dead" yet you uploaded chapter 11 some days after 10 came out, so you were aware chapter 10 was uploaded

at least make your excuses make sense, y'know?

that aside, i think the language used in her response against her mom was more emotional in a way. the sorta "last straw" type shit. hopefully we get to see more chapters soon.

 

[InsidiousIntent]

I think it's a question of motivation for me. If you're doing something out of a passion for it, and simply aren't able to catch up or at least keep a consistent release schedule, then someone choosing to fill that gap out of a similar passion to shared the work shouldn't be problematic. If a group takes on too many projects, which happens (as do delays from life) I would think help in sharing would be welcomed. If a group has a long delay, or is being outpaced by raw releases, I think that would indicate an issue of some sort.

Conversely, if it's a matter of ego or monetization, I would be disappointed.

With so many raws available I'm inclined to think it's a matter of "bit off more than they can chew". I have no firsthand knowledge, and I've enjoyed Danke's work prior, so I can't attest with any surety to the rationale.

I guess it boils down to what really matters to each group, the works, the fan base, doing it oneself or potentially more sordid things.

But I've never been a fan of pissing contests, and selfishly, am simply here to enjoy, appreciate and discuss the various works.

Odd that I see less and less collaboration than I did in previous years.

For my part, all scanlation work is appreciated by me, and will continue to be even after I finish learning Japanese.

So thank you, everyone.

 

[Kikkakua]

Dam why did they say no if they already have alot of manga and manwha they are working on thats why the releases take so long they shouldve atleast let this one go but oh well

 

[ipmanvsthemask]

Just snipe it, man. Kafka takes too long with this series. I honestly don't mind you even if your TL is a step down compared to Kafka's.

 

[theycallmebob]

You guys should absolutely continue considering there's 40+ chapters of source material to catch up and the current group release once a month if we're lucky.
What's wrong with a little friendly competition?

What's fake about the chapter?
Though it was obviously a throw away account probably just meant to ruse the original scanlators.
If this had been Soseki scans as the original scanlators, they would've released ten chapters they'd been withholding for a long time to get more patreons to scare off the sniper.

 

[Artemis0Fowl]

I'm also all for it, please continue! Im really invested in the story and don't want to wait (roughly) 3 years to get up till chapter 40
