Hey Agent wax, are they releasing new chapters of Bastard or are they reprinitng it? Bastard is pretty old isn't?

UJ is propably not for the kiddies :P, every issue I ever picked up someone is either topless, having or about to engage in some kind sex. Violence level is pretty high.
There was a new chapter of bastard on the last UJ, there hasn't been any ever since volume 23 came out. So only 1 new chapter so far after the story in volume 23. I haven't seen the new chapter yet, I wished I could ^^;

Bastard!! is over 10 years old. I still read it because the artwork is jaw-droppingly gorgeous, but the story ceased to be logical halfway into "Defender of the Faith". Hagiwara is still cranking out new chapters, albeit slowly. I think he's simultaneously working on the Complete Editions.

UJ is propably not for the kiddies , every issue I ever picked up someone is either topless, having or about to engage in some kind sex. Violence level is pretty high.
Huh. Guess I'm just desensitized. Nothing in UJ disturbs me. :wink:

I kinda put that out there so no one will come back bitching that no one told them what to expect. I really don't mind (I could do without some of lolita stuff though :roll:, but it doesn't happen that often to be a problem). I have seen in some past posts on this forum where someone called it porn. I don't think it's that hardcore but what do I know. I do know this, if you have read TenTen and are surprised by frontal nudity & violence in UJ, then you obviously have not been paying attention :roll: . I think TT is the hardest title in that publication, but I only have 10 issues so some could probably correct me.

Well, just picked up UJ 10 yesterday. The Star of David is really prominent in this chapter. Next chapter: We learn of Souhaku's Jewish origins... :P I also can't help but chuckle at Great's portrayal of public transport in Japan, whether or not he intended it. Maya carts a 6-foot nodachi back from Kyushu. By airplane. A bunch of weirdly dressed people stuff a kid who just collapsed in front of dozens of witnesses into a coffin and just waltz off. And nobody bats an eyelid...

Some people may be pleased (that's sarcasm, BTW) to know that the chapter of Egawa Tatsuya's Genji Monogatari is basically an extended loli scene :roll:.

B Reaction has a pretty funny chapter. Question to pv82: Does this title have boobies?

BASTARD!! OK, this title is really starting to confuse me. What the hell happened to the previous storyline? Is this still it? Are the Kai Harn & Sean Harri we see here alternate universe versions? (either way, they're still hotter than the Gobi at noon) And frankly, I have to say this. I love Hagiwara Sensei's art as much as anyone, but when dwarves and 'Hobibits' start showing up, it's time for someone to start smacking some sense into the old boy.

As for the rest, Happy World still freaks me out, Petit Monster still looks out of place in a seinen magazine, Agharta is still one parade of weirdass imagery after another, Hell's Angels still looks really cool, Heaven's Prison is stilll boring, and I still don't like the art in Between You and I. Oh, and cutelesbianactioninROD.

Correct me if I'm wrong--isn't Egawa Tatsuya the same guy who did Golden Boy? Jesus, and here I thought "loli-sque" stuff was the last thing he'd resort to doing. :shock: High school girls maybe, but definitely not of the loli variety.

Btw, is there no company/scanlation group working on the Golden Boy manga? I've heard that there are volumes available in Germany (?), but as if I could read that...

Egawa Tatsuya made Be Free!, Golden Boy, Deadman, Tokyo University Story, among others. Golden Boy has pretty much been forgotten, despite the anime being an absolute classic in its genre. Frankly, that's a sad statement about the attention span of of modern people. Fullmetal Alchemist is hot property right now, but 5 years from now, you think all those snot-nosed brats who are raving about it now will even still remember it?

Ahh, I'm old.

Anyway, Genji Monogatari is the manga version of the classic novel. So it may not be Egawa's fault...

Ahh, how sad indeed. Too bad the OVA series never got to finish the entire story of the manga. :x

I think I have one volume tucked somewhere in my hard drive though. Just one volume, for crying out loud! :cry:

Yes, there is a group that is doing scanlations of Golden Boy. Their called Ayanami MangaScans. The following url basically lists all the scanlations released and has a pretty comprehensive list of all the groups out there.

Thanks for the heads up, EliteF22! :)

It'll take a while before the group catches up to what's already been out for years--but still, I'm just glad that there are actually some people out there working on this.

Yes, Tenjo Tenge like body frames :twisted: . There doesn't seem to be any nudity (as far as the 1st vol. goes). Leaves something to the imagination

So, I'm sorry I'm a bit confused, but this does mean that chapter 79 is out somewhere?

The only place I even saw it was @ the Ultra Jump and sold on amazonjp. I got the 1st volume and will try to see if any group is interested to make this a scanlation project, but it seems I am too busy these days. ill get to it sooner or later, unless someone beats me to it (Me power to you). :wink:

No Tenjou Tenge chapter in the December issue (out November). At least no regular chapter.

Instead there'll be a TenTen pinup and a "bangai hen" (eg perhaps some TenTen side story, or perhaps some TenTen parody, or something else related to TenTen).

No, dios mio NO!!!

So there won't be any TT until the 2005 issue, that means the TT Manga 13 won't be out till late

The best guess is December 20. However... he took one month off. Then he took another month off...

Now I just don't know.

Maybe he is following his same procedure and planing on releasing Vol 13 in April or May. If you think about it Vol is already half done (76-77-78) which leaves 3 more chapters :(
