Desert Punk - chapter 53


imagebam.com

The beginning of what seems to be a very interesting arc. Unfortunately chapters will come out less often from now, especially after volume 9 is finished. So if anyone would like to help with cleaning or typesetting you can contact me at mangahelpers. Japanese->English translator would be also great but the chances of our groups getting one (who would be interested in DP) are close to zero ;P.

  2. Am I the only one who felt pages to be almost unrelated to each other, like in Shirow Masamune titles?

    1. You're probably not the only one but I didn't feel it at all. It's only a beginning of an arc and it will gradually become more clear who are these two men (and who is Nanpa), what's the idea with bandits and what's Kaizuka's real agenda. Also the reason why it might feel that way is that what you're reading is a translation of a translation (Japanese->French-English) so there are quite a few things lost during this process. Unfortunately we do not have anyone willing (and able) to translate it directly from Japanese.

    2. How in the hell did you get banned on MangaHelpers?

  3. For writing:

    "lol
    faintsmile was banned because administrator didn't like her opinion". Nothing more, nothing less:D. Kaiten is a child with big ego, I'm actually amused by his behaviour. In fact I was taking into account that I might be banned for writing that. FYI I don't need MH to scanlate Claymore. I can easily access everything there anyway (I don't even have to use foreign proxy for that). I also have Gernot's email address and IM (MSN I think, would have to check) nick. And I wasn't banned permanently (not yet at least) but for about 2 weeks. Number12michael was also banned because he quoted my post xD.

  5. For now I don't have any work for you since I still don't have translation of volumes 10+. Also, shhryr will clean volume 10 so maybe you could do typesetting if I won't have time. For now check out these links please:

  6. Hi Goral,
    Would it be possible to release the scans of the french version of the manga?
    Its not complicated to get one's hands in the (original) raws, but I've been looking for quite a while for the scans of the french version but I'm not able to find them.
    cheers

    1. You would have to talk to Ikkyusan about it. It's his scans, he probably bought manga out of his own pocket so I'm not at liberty to mirror it without his permission. Also, so far he scanned volume 6-9 only (AFAIK, but if he would have scanned 10+ he would have sent it to me by now) so you would get 1 new chapter (of volume 9).

  7. I'm sad to see no translator is willing to pick this amazing manga up! It can be raunchy at times(lets be honest that's what makes it so funny), but it has good story and character development! Definitely in my top ten. Have you tried extending your hand to some of the smaller/newer scan groups? If you're still lookin' for help with cleaning I'd love to help out. I've had a fairly large amount of experience cleaning and redrawing. Shoot me and email at Road2joy1@gmail.com
