i live in tunisia n my native language is not english therefore i will never be able to buy the original copy or support the mangaka actually even if they are available in my country i don't think that i can buy them if my family ever finds out that i read yaoi i will be literally killed i mean it that 's how old fashioned my family and my country is .no one around me knows that im a fujoshi . moreover i'm 15 i can't afford to buy the copies online. i don't have any manga books in my room .Do you how jealous i feel when you say that u have ur official copy. so my only solution is to read manga free in this website so if this website is illegal n this translator is a cheater to me they are my saviors. So thank u translator sama for updating this manga even if it was just an illegal copy it made me soooooo happy i felt like i was over the moon . and misaki kun i don't think ur wrong in protesting like that but if u were like me n you had to wait for years for one chapter of ur favorite manga im sure ur opinion wouldn't be the same .Just because ur not wrong doesn't mean ur right bcoz for people like me who can't buy the original copy this translator is like a hero figure.
i hope u can send me a reply (●'◡'●)ﾉ
Aside from the good intentions this person had of getting anyone to recognize this series and to continue translating it the real point is that its wrong of this person to use the official translation (from June) and copy it onto scans that they took elsewhere, rather than scanning the book itself. The point is not about being or not being able to afford the manga.
In other words, i think we can all agree that (real) translators do a pretty good job in terms of translating the original text and its nice of them that we get to read THEIR translations for FREE on aggregated sites. Its not a big problem if we read translated scans for free because there's still a possibility (even the smallest chance) that they could be wrong or be missing details, but don't you agree that stealing the official text and distributing them for free is worse? that basically robs the author and publishers their work and effort
Lastly, even if it kind of goes against my last point, it would've definitely been better to post scans from the book itself rather than taking the translations and copying it onto random scans. The only reason why i say this is because if they scanned the book than everyone who read it would recognize that it was scanned, but if they only took the script and typeset random scans than almost everyone who read it wouldn't have known that they basically just stole or nearly plagiarized the official copy(for those who dont read the "translators" notes denoting that it isn't translated)
Not here to argue but is vol 6 the last volume for eng translation? I thought there were 9 volumes in jap. Cant seem to find any website that sell vol 7-9...
Yeah, there are 9 volumes which is why i'm scratching my head over the statement "It's complete and available in English and has been for years" because June stopped translating at vol 6 and at the moment has no intention of continuing.
Well then said people are shit out of luck when it comes to licensed titles in English then. There's plenty of other stuff for them to sneak around and read. And NO we shouldn't just thank this person for trying their hardest. Are you kidding me?! The translations are stolen from June Manga publishers, the official english publisher. And the crappy chinese scans were also taken from some site. So what has this person done except steal and waste their time attempting to typeset? Unfortunately the world is not fair,so I'll continue to stand by my original post and thanking this person will never happen. Well, it looks like they were removed so nothing left to see here.
"You don't know if they asked to use the scans, so as long as they are not yours, don't complain about everything."
-this one is the only thing i want to argue. because said person, admitted they were from June. they do NOT give out permission. n fact, all copies have numbers in the back on the digital version, saying not to upload anywhere. same rule applies to paper back. then, they stole someones scans. that's not okay.
That's like someone breaking into a your house, taking your personal made porno, and uploading it for everyone. "because you left it there, free game", is not a thing
They used the translations from June, but the scans of another group. (Of course it' licensed nevertheless, but if June really stopped at Vol. 8 then it is perfectly legal to translate the last 3 volumes, isn't it? (Well we are still far away from that, but if June dropped the project, I kind of understand why people read it online... Is anything more frustrating than incomplete Manga series???(╯°Д °)╯╧╧))
It is available in German (up to Vol 9), but I guess that doesn't really help much :/
hahaha my sentiments exactly. If your going to go on and on with your righteous rants at least stick to your beliefs why the heck are you even on this site if you complain about others reading licensed manga for free and yada yada yada...... smh (⌒▽⌒) face it people we are all here because we love manga and this site makes it easily accessible
June dropped a bunch of titles and this is one them. There are no English translations after volume 6.
So this person is not a translator so please don't praise them for copying the licensed already translated version onto shitty scans and uploading it. I mean WTF It's complete and available in English and has been for years. You can buy it on amazon in the kindle version and read it clearly through your browser or buy the physical hardcopies. It's called "Blue Sheep Reverie" in English. For a change why don't you guys actually support the artists and buy their hard work? And to you supposed "translator" cause you're not, you should be ashamed of yourself for blatantly admitting that you're using June Mangas English licensed copy translations and typesetting like shit over even shittier scans! Go ahead and downvote I don't care. You guys reading this don't care about quality or supporting these artists as long as it's free.
