Johnny 1 Report post Posted August 4, 2005 We take scans of UNLICENSED manga (Japanese Comics) and we erase the original Japanese and edit the manga in such a way that the English reader can understand. We also edit out sound effects at times. Then we pu them up for free distribution in the net. BTW, Vanilla is no way related to the flavor. She's a character in the anime, Galaxy Angel (so is Mint). For more info, check out Galaxy Angel.net (Vanilla's hair and spaceship is green) 169884[/snapback] Hrm...can you pm me some info about getting some of your manga? I love manga. Especially when it's free. I still have tons of Naruto and One Piece on here to read. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snlildude87 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2005 well vanilla can't really explain the choice in color but blue is somewhat common in mints so it makes sense. 169717[/snapback] Blue is not common in mint, dawg. Go buy a mint ice cream and look inside. What is it? Gasp. Green. By the way, the only manga I read, or used to read, is Doremon. Holla if you've heard of it.

biscuitrat 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2005 Yeah, I was assuming they weren't related to the flavors. But it was on my mind anyway. I'm one of those weird people who don't like to read mangas, but I watch a few animes - I've handselected some good ones. o_O Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I read all sorts of manga, even the gay kind(like, Fushigi Yugi)...I like gundam best, for some odd reason. EDIT -- Yes, I've heard of it, no, I haven't read it.

icemarle 0 Report post Posted August 6, 2005 Hrm...can you pm me some info about getting some of your manga? I love manga. Especially when it's free. I'm not sure you'll like the manga I'm editing. It's shoujo (for girls)but the story is interesting. It's called W (Double) Pinch.It's about a girl, Arisa, who always gets bullied. She transfers schools a lot because of her parent's jobs, turning her into an outsider.But a transfer student from one of her old schools came for revengeafter recieving a note about her whereabouts. Arisa doesn't know why,but her older brother told her that when she was young, she was a Super Bully Girl. She always bullied people around her, because shedidn't like getting bullied because she was new. Arisa, didn't knowthat, because she had amnesia after her brother accidentally pushedher down the stairs.Now, she's a crybaby with no recollection of her past. Something happenedwhen the new transfer student came. Under severe mental pressure, sheswitches with her old terrifying self, and becomes a bully again. Shehas this double personality, and switches back when a dog named Totomarucomes in contact with her.The story is a bit wacky. You can get the 1st Volume from Mangaprojectsyou can get it in their IRC channel at #mangaprojects at irc.irchighway.netJust get it from an fserve there. Also, you can get the release by myScanlation team, MangaArt. (We did the next volume. We just continuedwhat Mangaproject did.) You can get it at our IRC, at #mangaart at irc.irctoo.netActually, the work I'm editing right now is Volume 2 chapter 2. It hasn'tbeen released yet, because it's still being proofreaded. *My proofreaderis so picky, she can spot veeery small detail* >_<correct me if im wrong managa edit would be like changing one language to another or adding color to it. Not adding color. Manga is black and white. The manga artists use tones togive detail to the drawings. Even if it's black and white, the drawingsare very detailed and beautiful. Being colored doesn't make it a goodread. Try and read some manga and appreciate the Japanese art. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shonen means manga for boys, basically. You're thinking of Shonen Jump. SJ is the raddest magazine on the face of the earth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
