i'm glad this series is finally getting picked up again, but is there a reason the magazine version was chosen over the volume version?

 

[Predatornoa]

Thanks for picked this series up. The quality of this scan are very good.

Thank you for the translation

 

[Netik765]

Thanks for the translation. Do you plan to translate the whole series?

Probably. It's nice to see actual original printed color in manga, greyshaded color is a holdover from when scanslators had to cut corners to reduce filesize.

I appreciate the new higher quality scans, but I'll also point out it's gonna be a bit of a wait to go through 90+ chapters before you get to new content which is a little disappointing. Would prefer to see a pick up of the series that simply started off where the last group left off. Is there any particular reason for doing this?

Yeah the scans were chosen for quality, and also notable, includes panels redrawn by Urasawa for the kanzenban (pg10 and pg20)

Starting from chapter 1 was mostly to test the waters, I'll probably start releasing c93+ and maybe do some early chapters if I feel like it. Tbh the HappyScans/VillageIdiot work is nice enough quality iirc.

Author redrawn panels is probably the best justification for reworking old chapters. However, it's also a good incentive to buy the work when it's published in English. Hopefully, some day. Even now with all the simulpubs going on the industry is still pretty shit about doing anything pre-2K or non-shounen.

Looking forward to seeing your work though. The first page alone with the "clean-up this issue since you're a clean-up pitcher" line is good translation, parsing jokes properly is very important (as long as that intent is in the original text).

I've read through the series, and I agree that the current scans are good, I don't remember any really bad spots. I'll reread it now and see if my memory's accurate, but Happy Scans did a lot of Urasawa works and always did a fine job IIRC.
