A plea for help

Please read this and help if you can by going here for example (contact Morten or post in one of the sticky threads):

GWR (Gantz Waiting Room) is the best scanlation group I know. They scanlate only most interesting, most under-appreciated and most unique manga. They are pioneers and trend setters and they don't care about popularity of the manga as most groups do. They scanlate titles which no one is willing to do (at least until it's popular enough) and use their own money to buy tankobons. But now with less and less people caring about them doing anything (after all why read such great titles as Desert Punk, Dorohedoro, Space Pirate Captain Harlock, etc. when you can read hundred different ecchi title or some other shit) and sites such as Manga*ox, Manga*ere, Manga*eader and similar making profit they're losing their motivation. So here's my plea as a fan of their work - help them if you can. Either by donating money or better - by becoming a translator/typesetter/cleaner. You might not know them but trust me, they are doing much better projects than Claymore (and this is coming from a Claymore fanatic). If you haven't read Dorohedoro, Desert Punk, Moyashimon, Shingeki no Kyoujin or dozens of other titles they've scanlated you don't know what you're missing. So if you have doubts go to their site and see for yourself.

P.S.
Claymore chapter 122 should be out in a couple of days, raw was released rather late and no one had the time to make a scanlation after Christmas holidays.

  2. Thanks for helping !!! I really appreciate this. I'm desperate for this group to survive since they only make HQ stuff in HQ so they're seriously the best of the best (and I'm not exaggerating here). Really, really thank you. Even if you were the only one helping it would make this post worth publishing.
