(L) Black Lagoon

[Firefly00]

I was tempted to put this over in discussions of the Second Barrage, but it really is more appropriate here.
Now, surely most of us recall this particular image. This, more than any other of our favorite ex-paratrooper, inspired me to take a page from DB Sommer and spawn a 'Fusions That Should Never Be'. Fact: there's already an image of her cosplaying Dejiko (and not liking it too much)...
...so, imagine her standing in for a certain Slug Sannin. Further in this vein, it seems Boris found himself a teaching position - yep, he's subbing for one Iruka Umino.
I leave other substitutions, and the ensuing wrongness, as an exercise for folks' imaginations.

The season 2 has ended. So is there more?

[Nesty]

all i want to know is, is there an north american release of thise great series in manga form :P

[Jechtsphere]

So how many chapters does the manga go?

past the second season in the anime?

if so where are the rest of the chapters, for some reason I can only find the first 12 chapters :/

I've looked everywhere...if anyone can help I'll be in your debt.

Unsure about the number of chapters, but there are currently 6 volumes of the manga available.

Yes, it goes past the Second Barrage anime.

I assume you're refering to the scanlated chapters, no? I believe 12 is the most recently translated, so you are up to date in that respect.

Raws are floating around on the internet, I read the Chinese adaptation so can't really help you with Japanese raws. If you're interested in Chinese raws, however, drop me a PM.

[Majek]

Japanese raws are up to 55. and yeah someone should start a riot at 4chan to get them one scanlated

[UPR]

i wish it could be translated further as well, but since it's licensed i doubt they will continue.

Eh? Not in North America, it ain't. France and Germany, yep.

[UPR]

well you could go to the site of the people who were translating and ask them if they will continue or you could go to other groups who are looking for something new to start translating and ask them if they are willing. I wish somebody would pick it up and continue.

Last I checked Akatsuki is still translating the manga. They're just really slow about it. A lack of translators, maybe.

[yukumushio]

HEY GUYS volume 6 and 7 are ouut!!! They're the ones AFTER the anime! OMGOMGOMG after reading, please discuss, there's this one part I wanna talk about lol

btw, the manga has been licensed very recently, it should come out soon! BUYBUYBUY

[NeoSam]

Black Lagoon will be getting a light novel adaptation:
http://lightnovel.org/2008/05/19/cod...el-adaptations

The light novel will be published under the shounen label Gagaga Bunko, a label for boys, so yeah its a light novel for boys. It will be authored by the author of the Fate/Zero light novels, and illustrated by Hiroe Rei (Black Lagoon's mangaka).

[Mizuno]

I hope that after the current long arc is finished, there will be an announcement of a 3rd season anime.

[RBomber]

Someone had send the whole, translated chapters up to ch 55 on Onemanga.com

[Mizuno]

4 days after I was hoping for a 3rd season they make an announcement, maybe I should go buy the lottery.

[Nappy Hared Azn]

So does AnonSpore only do scanlations of completed volumes, or do they do individual chapters after they're released? I'm grateful that they're doing it at all; I'm just curious as to how long I'll have to wait to read the rest of the "El Baile de la muerte" arc (Is it even finished?). Also, whiskey tango foxtrot does that mean in English?

[Freeter]

Spoiler for 65:

Christ, Roberta is BROKEN.

Stopping Shenhua's sword WITH HER BARE TEETH, blocking Sawyer's chainsaw with just her pistols, and scaring the crap out of Fabiola...now that's insane. If this arc ends with her vs. Balalaika, then the new season had better make this the finale, because that fight would be EPIC.

There's also a nice color page of Revy in a cowgirl outfit

You clearly forgot the most awesome one.

Spoiler:

Smashing Rotton's brass balls.

I've been a little out of loop of Black Lagoon. How did Garcia get kidnapped again? By those... er... Uncle Sam boys?

Thread necromancy FTW!

The first volume of the English adaptation came out. I went and bought it. First thing that struck me odd is that the book itself is physically larger than the standard manga released by Viz. Still debating whether I should remove the shrink wrap.

[Nappy Hared Azn]

How is it? I was thinking of buying it, but due to its violent nature and the tendency to heavily censor US releases, I was having second thoughts.
