Yes, I'm a big fan of Shi-Mi |( ' 3' )/

（・３・）あるぇ～？

You too?

[Hiera]

Do you know how many volumes will have Higurashi Jan (Mahjong chapter) ? Is it still ongoing?

[Taku_]

I am not sure but from what i have seen both of the volumes dont have a number on them so they are probably stand alone volumes so i think its already done

It's easy to realise that.
Just look my works... |( ' 3' )/

About Jan... Yes, only one volume.
I don't know how many volumes the second manga get.

Do you think Utsutsukowashi-hen will ever be continued?

It's not like asking for a second season. It was straight-up canceled, and about 3 years ago at that. It's HIGHLY unlikely to be resurrected.

Spoiler for Covers:

I picked up cases 14,15 and 16 and Fragment of a Miracle.


15th case's front and back cover has Natsumi, but no Natsumi within. The stories of 14 and 16 with Natsumi are duplicated in fragment Of A miracle (seems to be a Best of book). So out of 4 books, only two new Natsumi stories XD Fragment only had one umineko story Fragment though opens with the continuation of Tsumihoroboshi-hen, just after the roof incident.

I hope someone can tell me of any other comic that might have Natsumi XD
How do you scan these thick books without wrecking them too much

Daisu:

I don't think there are ways to scan books without damaging them. Usual methods are:

a) Press book firmly against scanner.
b) Use an iron to melt the glue and debind the book.
c) Cut pages out of book.

Hand scanners are small scanners that allow you to physically move the scanner yourself (about $100). Powerful high-res scanners (like the ones I have access to) can scan the image well enough just by keeping the books pressed down firmly. From there, it's just a matter of using Photoshop/Gimp to make the individual page edges seem clean and uniform for general consumption.

Hanyuu patting like Rika on the head is beyond cute, but Hanyuu and Miyo working TOGETHER is all sorts of bad.

Spoiler for 15th Case ~ Another Loop:

Should i like put something up each week, and take suggestion on what character i should focus on to put manga about? *shrug* Sorry just been bored with this lull. I suck at scanning

Would anyone here happen to know where to purchase magazines like Gan Gan Joker (other then Amazon Japan, preferably somewhere cheaper to ship to the States...)? I really want the new Higurashi and Umineko postcard set that comes with the newest issue. The Kinokuniya near my place only carries GFantasy.

HMV seems like a good place to buy them. They're at the exact same price as in Japan, the only downside is that shipping costs tend to be a bit pricey if you buy a lof of them at once. I've had my eyes on that postcard set for some time as well, it looks quite nice.

[Joly]

I love the crossovers. Thank you for letting me know!

I actually just found out San Francisco Kinokuniya does special orders to Japan and have the magazines shipped to their store... it may be a little cheaper. I'm probably going to check if they'll be able to ship to a store that's much more close by.

[Hiera]

Could someone tell me what are thoese covers for?



And about the 2nd one... Has anyone have colored picture of it?

This must be the alternative cover for the fourth volume of Meakashi-hen

and this alternative for Matsuribayashi-hen vol.2

I'm also trying to find some way to buy new issue of Gangan Joker, but $25 for one magazine? wtf...
