Desert Punk 86 (9/9) - vol. 13 complete

Chapter 86
Batoto | Mediafire | Boxnet

It's the last chapter of volume 13. Huge thanks to Ikkyusan for translating it and Teriguu for cleaning it. Now to the part that probably interests you the most - zek777 has volunteered to translate a couple of Desert Punk chapters. He's Vietnamese and his Japanese and English aren't perfect so be considerate. Since my English is probably even worse I won't be able to help much in terms of proofreading. I assume that won't be a problem though since the difference between having a translation and not having it is colossal :].

As for volume 15, there is a possibility to hire a professional translator (one that some groups hire) but we'll see how it goes and whether there would be people willing to help in such capacity but that's far away from now. Of course it would be best if someone would dump translation of all the volumes but that's unrealistic. As far as I can tell translating 1 DP volume by a manga fan who also translates as a professional would cost 150-200$.  That's both cheap and expensive. Cheap, because we're talking about a guy who takes a lot more money for translating professionally and he gives a huge discount (especially for a manga that he's not interested in) and expensive since I wouldn't be willing to finance it myself.

That's our current situation. Tell me what you think about it.

Desert Punk 85 (8/9)

Chapter 85

This is the penultimate chapter. We're still looking for a Japanese to English translator for volume 14, 15, 16 and 17. 

As previously, you can bump the DP thread on reddit, maybe we will have luck there and find some help. Last time someone there has declared to help, we'll see how that goes.

 Edit: There has been a slight change to page 167 (16) so I've reuploaded the chapter.

We're looking for a jp->en translator for volume 14. Details in previous post. Unless we find one you will end up with a cliffhanger like you've never seen before :P.

  Not much has changed since the last time, we only have translation for volume 13, volumes 14, 15, 16 and 17 (yes, there is even volume 17 now) will most likely remain untranslated. And as you can see with this chapter, things are only getting interesting. It's a shame really and it's one of the reasons why it took me so long to release the next chapter. If this manga was more popular some other group would have already released all these volumes by now.

BTW, if anyone has volumes 12 and 13 backed up upload them to Mediafire/Boxnet/Dropbox and share them here please. I have the original files somewhere (I think :P) but it would take me a lot of time to find it (I could also just download Batoto version which unlike other aggregate manga sites has the latest version of the chapters). Unfortunately 2shared links don't work anymore (for the most part).
