Wow, Robertalucard for the last pages.
Rotton got kicked on his balls, that's sad. I still don't get why the version I read had the spanish removed, curiously the mangaka's spanish is good/decent.

I've seen this manga is being published in the US, but I'm cautious about buying it. It's wrapped in plastic. That seems promising, but it makes it difficult to see if they did any major alterations from the original versions. That is always a deal breaker for me.

Good news, Singaporeans.

Chuang Yi has licensed the manga Black Lagoon.
Whether they will be doing changes like bleeping the swearing remains to be seen.
Link.

The anime is a faithful adaptation of the manga.

Meh, I didn't purchase the translated copy because I think they did a rather poor job of it. I went to Barnes and Noble to check out Volumes 1 and 2 the second they were out and, I have to say, I was severely disappointed. The translated dialogue sounds wooden and even Revy's cool swearing sounds ridiculous. IMHO, I don't think they did very well. If you can read Japanese, you might want to stick with the nihongo version. But that's just MO, for what little it's worth.

I bought all 4 volumes and the translations were spot on. Hell they are almost word for work with the scanlations. Do you even know japanese? As I remember most the swearing was already in english in the japanese versions. Like the scene where revy is at the shooting gallery after she is cheated out of the prize.

I took it for a few years and I thought they did a good job. Thank god they shrink wrapped it so those posers who just read it and never buy can't ruin it with their dirty cheetoe stained fingers.

Plus I have all the chapters to date 71 raw and translated.

But the book is a tiny bit bigger than a normal manga that's why it's 2-3 dollars more. I have a subscription so I pay about 10 bucks or less. They plan to release up to volume 7, and probably to 9 eventually.

Looks like Balalaika revealed why she left the Red Army after Afghanistan...

Spoiler for Her status after Afghanistan:

...wow, even cold-hearted Balalaika had her moment in the light...and she got kicked down into the dark muck of the underworld.

Why is it always the 'bigwigs' who manage to screw everyone over...? (rhetorical)

As I thought Balalaika is a good person at heart just got screwed hard for doing the right thing I always thought that her being honorable was weird in a city of back stabbers, thieves etc. Wonder whats gonna happen when they catch up with Roberta

The way I look at it, I just don't think there's any way this arc could have any sort of resolution without Roberta dying. I won't go into detail because I don't want to spoil anything, but judging from the way the other characters talk about her, the hole her mind's fallen into is just too deep and I really don't think the kid (I can't recall his name ATM) can bring her back.

So the scans are actually caught up with raws. Never thought that would happen after being stuck at chapter 13 for so long o.O

Who knows? Probably perceive the Afghan civvies as being in line with the Mujahideen.
