I was withholding my comments on the fight between Shin and Mitsuomi that started in chap 44. In the chap 44 thread, the general feeling was that of a disappointment, but I feel that to do justice to this segment, you need to read this finale along with the previous chapter. Well, try reading the ch...

maan...slow down Fugu!

At the end of Book 7 already...
At this rate you're gonna catch up to Ultra Jump's releases soon!
Doesn't CU have midterms or other amusements to keep you busy? ^^;;

Thanks for the great chapter.
Always appreciate your hard work.

My comment was only in comparison to Rurouni Kenshin.

Kenshin is Samurai Fantasy Fiction.

A game sounds like a good idea! :lol: A fighting game's good, but following the popular trend, how about a Collectible Card Game(CCG)?? I summon Takayanagi Mitsuomi !! Since we are in "School Grounds" he, as the class president, gets TERRAIN BONUS of 5000!! I also play a MAGIC CARD "Latex Suit" !! T...

Is the name of Fu Chien's move the same as his name, the Fu Chyuan bit? Anyhow, that move was pretty cool, I like the name too, Tiger, Fist something Earth something something Five something? What's that move translate to? And why is the move name in Mandarin? hmmm... what's the last symbol, uu as ...

Some thoughs: Maya called herself a 'sheath'. A sword can't be safe to others and can't be protected from the elements without a sheath. A sheath by itself has no usefulness, so it has no reason for existence without a sword to hold. The parents may have seen this parallel and seeing the bond betwee...

Wow many people are interested in the subject of anime production. I think great fighting scenes are possible even in a small budget production. For instance, there is a superb work "Kaze makase Tsukikage Ran" (Following the winds Tsukikage Ran) It's about a female ronin (wandering samurai) Tsukikag...

hitori

Dang. Kuzu, huh?

I need more training, Shifu!

hitori

hmmmmm, do you think they will tone some of it down? You know, the echi? If they do such a thing, what anime company would do it, and what kind of job would they do? Why would they need to cut the ecchi? ^^ That's part of what makes TJTG interesting. Unlike the American Cable/Airwaves plagued with ...

1) Do you use a program to translate manga? 2) How hard is it to translate. 3) If you are skilled in rudimentary japanese, can it work? Thanks for your patience, Raist. 2 & 3. Translation is actually a very tough job. It is far from transposing words for word. You need to be able to express in the ...

I'd say 4~6 30 minute episodes would be enough. 1: Introduction and destruction of the Katana biker group. 2: Members gather, formation of Jukenbu. 3: Tensions mount between Shin and Mitsuomi. 4: The tournament finals and conclusion. If I had my way, these may be the big themes. The whole thing with...

hitori

Well, the general TV programming in Japan is pretty crappy overall. =P Our American television is close behind though! Go FOX, go~! I think parts of TJTG can be made into an anime. For instance, the past arc on its own will make a very nice mini-series OVA. It'll start out with some tense situation ...

hitori

Actually, Shin's swastica goes BOTH ways. Throughout the next few chapters, it switches from clockwise to counter clockwise and back. :lol: Look for it. ;) I don't know if he does this on purpose, but Oh!Great is very very well known for the plethora of inconsistencies in his works. Couple clear exa...

To Fugu:

I don't know why it won't work for you.
I'll write down what I did.

1. Write out kanji in Notepad.exe using Japanese IME
2. Open Photoshop document
3. Select Text tool
4. Copy kanji from Notepad
5. Paste to Photoshop
6. Select the text and change to the Calligraphy Font (forgot the name)

hitori

Being a closed-minded socially-paranoid American, I wouldn't have the guts to wear such clothing out in the streets. :D Heck, I don't think I can even indulge myself wearing that in the privates of my room. hahaha If anyone gets hold of those jackets, take a couple cosplay photos and post them here!

hitori

Yea.
If TJTG does see official release, it will be 2~3 chapter increments in those thin 'magazine style' comic book format.

That'd take YEARS to catch up to vol 9.
The publishers would LOVE that...get to milk the comics to the last drop.

hitori

What you worry is quite true The_Shape. As early as Book 8, you can see some noticible changes in drawing style in TJTG. I just casually wondered about the sudden change, but if what you say is true, it can be explained. Oh!Great mangas' forte/appeal has always been in the meticulous detail and the ...

Update:

I found out that those uniforms are called "tsumeeri"

Tsume (stand up) eri (collar)...a descriptive term.

See photos here: http://www.ishii-sangyou.co.jp/normal/t ... meeri.html

Hope this helps.

hitori

That coat you talk about is the traditional male highschool uniform worn during the fall to spring semesters. I can't think of another term, but it's generally referred to as 'seifuku' which means literally, 'uniform'. The recent trend is to move away from that design to a brighter colored, less con...

The first Silky Whip TPB is 14,95, if i'm not mistaken... I checked the price online after reading your message. Each Silky Whip issue seems to go for about $3.50 and the TPB you talk about is the compilation of first 4 volumes. So I don't think the $14.95 price is justified... Thanks for the info....

hitori

Here you go: http://moosim.pe.kr/pds/Hcho_Hangul.zip Apparently this is a Korean/Chinese font. I just typed the kanji using Japanese IME and converted it to this font. Works well this way. One strange thing is that I can't seem to use this anywhere other than from Photoshop. I have Office XP and Wor...

I recently downloaded a cool font, so I wrote the member titles with it.
It's a cool caligraphy font. ^_^
If you like it, and if you feel like it, please see if you can use it for member titles.

hitori

Anyway, why don't you get the Silky Whip TPB? I know it's flipped, which sucks, but i think the uncensoring makes up for it... Proteus is slow as hell, but they'll publish the whole thing in TPBs eventually... I don't mind the flipped format, and the non-censorship is ummmm a very very good thing (...

hitori

I don't have volume 9 either.
But I know a place you may view some scans.

It's a Yahoo group, so you'll need a Yahoo ID to join.

Hope this helps.

hitori

Sorry.
I cannot help you there...^^;;

Any other Italians that can help Shin here?

Hmm, I don't know where you live so I can't possibly recommend you a store. If you live in the United States, try Kinokuniya Bookstores http://www.kinokuniya.com They have many branches, especially in the West Coast and they always have a sizable selection of mangas. If you can't find one near by, j...

Volume 9 was just released earlier this year. As far as I know, Fugu is the only one doing the scan/translation in English, but I have seen Chinese, Korean, and Thai fan-translated materials before. I also know that there are official versions of Chinese and Korean language Tenjo Tenge. Because of t...

'Engine Room', '5' and 'Junk Story' are three compilation tankoubons that contain Oh!Great's short stories published in the 'Hot Milk Magazine' et al. They were split up again when the mangas were brought to the US as 'Silky Whip' and 'Silky Whip Extream' series. So, essentially, they are the same. ...

hitori

Very nice!

The way you did the metal, leather etc is amazing!

The size is 1227x904, 24b Jpeg format.

hitori

No~~~~~~~

What happened!??

I'm a kohai now?
'Spirit' to an 'underclassman' feels more like a demotion.

Dammit, I must work harder now to become a [senpai] - at least that's what I think the next level's gonna be.

hitori

Nah...don't bother.

Looking at the pictures is good enough to figure out what's happening anyways.

hitori

The past arc starts its (albeit slow, but very exciting) climb up to the climax from here on. 8) All the actors are now present and have taken their positions! I've only read TJTG through the tankoubons, in full book formats, so there were no chapter breaks in the story. Now that I'm reading it over...

I think I liked him immediately because of the cool black & white illustration of him lying on top of a sportscar.

It's somewhere in the chapters where the Enforcement Group attacks the Juukenbu in the bowling alley. =)

There seems to be a bit of discussion about Tawara Bunshichi's nickname; Double Impact. I think it has two meanings. One: a name derived from a signature fighting technique he uses. http://pub5.picturehost.co.uk/impact.jpg In this picture, Tawara is shown getting ready to blow away a charging sedan ...

hitori

Woohoo~

I've been upgraded!
Not a Yuurei anymore~

Thanks Fugu!

Now I am a..."Spirit" !! -_-;;;
Ghost -> Spirit -_-;;;
Wait...is that an improvement? ummm...

A cool word tho; tamashii.
So I picked an avatar picture that I think goes well with it.

hitori

The wait pays off!

Been holding my vote because Tawara wasn't a choice.

Thanks Fugu...

hitori

Ghost?

Why am I a ghost. T---T
True I've been gone for a while, but a yuurei?? noooooo...

What are the member levels anyway?
Fugu seems to be the 'Master' but all others are ghosts...

hitori

Snow...we never get snow here down in Geougya.

I wish it snowed like that here so my company has to call a snow day.

But slim chance that's happening.

Snowdays...grew up in Conn. and went to the same school as Fugu so I kinda miss it.
