Skip and Loafer

[ThePaulBunyanTrophy]

Hey guys, Skip and Loafer volume 4 has been just released and I'm starting work on it as we speak. The entire volume will be scanlated before the first chapter is posted on MangaDex, and as with some of my previous works, people who purchase the Japanese retail copy will get the entire volume (or chapters I've finished until that point and the ones after that) before it is posted.

The volume is 660 yen or ~$6.24 at various e-retailers. The easiest place to buy is http://global.bookwalker.jp where you can create an account in English and then go to the Japanese page at https://bookwalker.jp/de586ab127-f31f-4f2f-aced-8507e55e4a84/ to add it to your cart, and when you return to the global site, it'll be in your cart and you can check out.

CDJapan https://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOBK-2510936?s_ssid=e37ab75f411f40c15b is a good option for physical book, but you'll pay for shipping. which is usually around ~$3-4.

You can also shop at Amazon Kindle version. https://www.amazon.co.jp/スキップとローファー...d=1&keywords=スキップとローファー&qid=1598103416&sr=8-1

It'll probably take me about a month to do the whole thing, but good response in the way of purchases has a way of making me work faster. Send the proof of purchase to tpbt1999@gmail.com with Skip and Loafer 4 in the subject. Thanks!

I've been waiting for Volume 4 and finally it's out! Every volume cover they get closer to each other. Can't wait for the next chapters!

A slight change of plan: the first chapter will go on MD in a bit after I build up a chapter or two buffer for the purchasers. So probably in a week or so...

 

[asfhoiasfjoiasfjpi]

so we getting updates? let's gooo

 

[Adastraa99]

Nice one

 

[yamaguchi]

Why are all the chapters gone?

 

[littlegirly]

Woah what happened 😦
I'm sad I've been checking here everyday since the new volume released and now the chapters are gone

 

[pipopo]

NOOOOOO (( what happened? did it got licensed? I've also been checking almost every day since the volume released and now everything is gone. Hope it was just a glitch or something, this is the only way I have to read this u.u

@pipopo @littlegirly @yamaguchi
tl;dr scanlator deleted everything.

Context: "My Sister's Funeral" Oneshot.

So a mod gets butthurt about spoilers and keeps messing with things without talking it over with the translator until said translator gets pissed and leaves. Great job.

 

[Syanindita]

@comeonnow0 😱😱😱

 

[livesofflight]

@thepaulbunyantrophy is a good person, works hard as a translator, and pretty ethical. Hope they and the MD admin can bury the hatchet.

 

[cashewehsac]

Seconding what livesofflight said, honestly. The dude's always worked hard, cared about the series he scanlated, and incentivized official means of supporting mangaka.
I hope things work out.

 

[fulani]

Came back for another reread while waiting for volume 4 and I see the chapters are all deleted?? Followed the comments to another manga where the sh*tshow went down and honestly..... it didn’t have to get to this point. Moderators could have handled this much better than they did. I agree with the last two commentors, hope we can get this sorted out.

 

[mizorin]

Theres so much fkin drama , there could be a domestic kanoji part 2 right here

 

[Huiiii]

😭😭😭😭😭 poor translator-san

 

[blueoddog]

no...

 

[kurosakimafuyu]

Damn. I was looking forward to the update every single day Volume 4 came out. I guess we just have to wait for someone to license this then.

 

[wewonk]

Anyone know if the translator is still giving scanlations to those who buy the copy? Thinking that’s my best bet rn

 

[Syanindita]

@wewonk probably, try message thepaulbunyan
