Higurashi manga thread

[Benny1]

Trying... No success, I bug them often. They don't really want to give us ftp info and are working on an alternative but this is really irritating.

Yen Plus released their magazine "Yen Plus" recently in case noone knew. It's just like Shonen Jump but with their manga instead.

Yen Plus is completly original to the Japanese manga, no english sound effects, cursing intact, no edits, everything the same as the Japanese version.

If you were aware of the recent licensing of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, Titled "Higurashi When They Cry" in the states for manga releases, then be happy to know Higurashi is now in the monthly Yen Plus Magazine!

I was soo~ happy to know that they brought Higurashi actually in the states in a REALLY well done english manga format.

Go to your local book store and buy it today!

EDIT:

Hey now that I am in the manga mood for Higurashi, any news on translations of some of the uncompleted manga of Higurashi?

[Aortic]

Benny, are you planning to edit both Minagoroshi and Matsuribayashi?

[Mr. Delicious]

For those who got the Yen Press translation, how does it hold up?

IT IS PERFECT.

And when I mean perfect there are no flaws. Go out and support the series, BUY IT.

And it isn't sealed...so you can just read a bit before you make a purchase. And besides Higurashi it had other manga too that are good like for instance, Soul Eater.

[Falchion Oni]

Does it contain the first chapter only? I just want to know, I'm going to buy a copy either way.

[GyroidFanatic]

Only the first chapter, but keep in mind it was a monthly release in Japan too.

[HigurashiRika_04621]

I already have the scans, so it'd prolly be a waste of my money, but hey, anything to support 07th Expansion. I'm just going to wait until November when the volume comes out tho.

In the magazine, were any original color pages still in color? I'm assuming they were, just wondering tho. >>

And, I also heard somewhere that the novels are going to be released along with the volumes. Does anyone know if that's true? o.o

[GyroidFanatic]

The novels aren't licensed yet.

[Falchion Oni]

Darn, I was really hoping for the novels to come out...

[GyroidFanatic]

Don't worry, they're likely to get licensed at some point by either Del Rey or the new Kodansha deal.

[Mr. Delicious]

Score-dee-frickin'-score! I just got it. GREAT translation (I love Rena's "Will you take me to the ___? Will you?" and Rika's "___, sir."), and nice change of font for the denials. The dialogue seems to flow really well.


First GN's out in November. I'll be there

Just got back from borders after buying the first issue of Yen Plus, and can i just say, IT'S AWESOME. It has 11 stories in it and is twice the size of Shojo Beat. It even has bonus art and omake for Higurashi ^_^

[Oyajitchi]

Oh only bad thing really about it is no color pages for Higurashi... U-U

They r supoused to be in color, like the first 3, but they left it greyscale.

[Dansen]

Hey, I saw this manga page with Hanyuu talking to her daughter, can anyone tell me what it's from? Also can you repost the page too?

That's from the manga side story Katautsushi-Hen and no, since that would be providing RAWs

This.

My only nitpick really is I kind of prefered Sonozaki Futagotachi's translation in the sound novel of "oji-san" for Mion as "uncle" or "Uncle Mion" but I figure that's more just a matter of trivial personal taste. I was a little weirded out by Rika's "sir" at first (as it sounds so western coming out of her) but I realised quickly that it nicely encapsulated her politeness evoked the "nano-desu" she always uses somehow. I want to take her home! Hau~. '#_#'

No, I'm really impressed with it, and the Yen Plus selection overall too (though that first OEL-manwha seemed pretty bleh). I read every page. Solid lineup of SquareEnix-published titles for the Japanese side of things (making up about almost 2/3 of the content, with the other third being Korean Manwha and a couple of OEL titles), all with anime licenses, yet criss-crossing a variety of genres too. I'll probably buy a subscription. Can't wait to see how chapter 2 turns out with the famous USODA scene.

USE SODA! >_<; Apologies, I've been browsing YouTube too much lately.

So guys. New arc for Higurashi being done by Yuna Kagesaki. Wonder what it's gonna be like. Higurashi no Naku Koro ni: Kokoro-Iyashi-hen (Heart Healing Chapter?)
