Viz posts Rinne chapter 1 and a HUGE Inuyasha announcement!
It takes a lot to impress a scanlator. Today, I am not only impressed, I stand in awe. This evening, Viz finally put their scanlation ('digital chapter' sounds lame) up online at their new "The Rumic World" site. The chapter is extremely well done: Good translation, preserved honorifics, preserved sound effects, page stitching, and most importantly…
CLEAN, TANKOUBON-QUALITY PAGES!
I wouldn't be able to compete with that even if I wanted to.
Also, I'm not gonna spoil the chapter.
- Flash viewer (Medium Quality)
- Image directory (High Quality) *Kikyou, thanks for the tip!
Note: If you reside in a country other than the United States or Canada, you will not be able to read the chapter. If you use a U.S. or Canadian proxy, you may be able to. Edit: Some people are recommending Hotspot Shield or IPMask. It works with Windows and Mac. As for my fellow Linux users, I'll find something for you too. :3
As for the Inuyasha announcement, just read on and try not to wet yourself.
Along with the Rinne premiere, this gem was posted:
As we unveil Rumiko Takahashi's newest manga series RIN-NE on this site, we're also pleased to announce some exciting news about her classic manga series Inuyasha. Starting with volume 38 (which will be released in July), we're publishing the series the way it was originally
drawn, from right to left, and releasing the graphic novels monthly.VIZ Media also has VIZBIG 3-in-1 editions ($17.99) of the entire series on the way starting in November, also in the original unflipped format! For more Inuyasha-related products, visit the Inuyasha store.
Do you know what this means? It means that our community email campaign against Viz's flipping and pacing of the manga has finally paid off! I'd to thank everyone on and off the Freelance forums that helped out. Give yourselves a pat on the back while you're at it.
Finally, one piece of housekeeping. If you're having trouble unsubscribing from the newsletter, don't hesitate to email me.
