Story Time threads.

There are a lot of untranslated story time threads to add, I'm procrastinating on it. For now just check the archive in the link below.

Hey there. This site is for keeping track of any story time threads that I do, in a manner more friendly than checking the archive every now and then (via RSS). Each post will contain the series information, how long it's been since the scanlation died, and links to any raws. I have a long list of threads to add to here, so this place will look sparse for a while.

Partially-translated story time threads are here, and the other story time threads are here.

If you pick up anything, be sure to let me know.

On second thought, I'll just use Tumblr from now on.

It's much better suited for this purpose. It's easier to update, it's easier to track which posts are popular and likely to get scanlation help, and I've already found editors for some projects. I should have gone with that from the beginning. It'll still be the same as before - posting manga that I've done story time for.

You don't need a Tumblr account or any bullshit, just use this RSS. You can also still browse the archive.

deadscanlations.tumblr.com/rss

You can request/submit dead scanlations and untranslated manga here.

I'm still working on this.

It's just a lot, and I haven't had much spare time lately.

I'll be working on updating this, as well as the Tumblr copy that I made. I don't normally use Tumblr, but it seems pretty easy to update and add new posts, which is nice. Blogspot is kind of a hassle. Tumblr also has the whole social media tag shit going on, which might help generate more exposure for the dead scanlations that I post.

Outlaw Star - ITO Takehiko

I might have a translator for this, and will probably have HQ raws soon. Needs staff.

Space is mainly inhabited by three different groups: the Federation, which is the real government; Various pirate clans, which use special techniques and magic to dominate the frontier; and the outlaws which are just about everywhere in between. There are also various alien races and empires which sort of fall within this category. It is on this frontier where Gene Starwind and his 11-year old partner Jim Hawking, freelance bounty hunters and odd-job takers extraordinaire, live and work. Until they happen to take a job from a mysterious woman named Hilda. In no time flat they're up to their ears in pirates...

Glaucos - TANAKA Akio

This is a story of a boy who challenges free diving.
"Free diving (skin diving)" may remind you of the film "Le Grand Bleu." It is an extreme sport, and each meter added to its record brings us closer to the sea bed and further from the surface where one can breathe again. In this sense, free diving has a direct connection with death, with which our fight continues, refashioned over time, bit by bit.
So, why would one free dive, and risk his life? The answer lies within the mysterious bond between the sea and human kind.
And in the fast evolving world of competitive diving, new data emerges that casts light on this bond.

Dainana Joshikai Houkou - TSUBANA

Takagi and Kanemura are two normal high school students in a near-future Japan where many things we'd find unusual are taken in stride. Technology has evolved to the point where items like face-blurring necklaces, sleep-control devices, and Willy Wonka-ish, meal-flavored gum are common fads. New services also dot the landscape, such as businesses that can help you reclaim memories and places that can upload dead people to the internet to continue living their lives in virtual reality. The two girls treat encounters with androids, strange monsters, and aliens as somewhat normal occurrences. Dainana Joshikai Houkou is a fantastical slice of futuristic life that proves that, while society can change, people tend to stay the same.

Wild 7 - MOCHIZUKI Mikiya

Due to rise of criminality and terrorism in Japan, the National Police Agency had grudgingly authorized the creation of special counter-terrorist motorbike task force consisting of reformed prisoners--from thugs, individuals jailed for simple offenses, yakuza henchmen/leaders and pro-Communist militants--to take on armed criminals and terrorists.

The Five Star Stories - NAGANO Mamoru

Several thousands of years from now, there exists the Joker Galaxy of five Star Systems, where a long, long war is being fought. The god of light, Amaterasu, is trying to unite the galaxy under his rule. The fighting stands between giant mecha called Mortar Headds, their pilots, the Headdliners, trained since birth for their task, and the female humanlike computers called Fatimas, necessary for controlling the MH. Many are the lives and destinies found throughout the more than thousand year long era of war, although Amaterasu seems to live through it all.

Note: To honor its 25th anniversary, the series was reprinted under Five Star Monogatari Reboot (The Five Star Stories Reboot) with a final and 13th volume.

So far, 12 volumes of manga have been published since 1986. There is an English version of the manga available, published by Toyspress, a company co-founded by the author. Each volume of the English version contained approximately 1/3 to 1/2 of the equivalent Japanese volumes. To date, 26 volumes of the English version have been produced, covering Japanese volumes 1 through 10. Volumes 11 and 12 have yet to be translated and the status of future English versions is unknown at this time.

Got a movie.
