So what's the story behind Hells Angels? Well, I'm currently in Japan and when browsing around I found a manga that caught my eye. It had pretty nice design and very nice presentation. It also happened to run in Ultra Jump which is pure coincidence, but kind of amusing.

I picked up the first volume, and really enjoyed it. It follows conventions in some ways, but in general I really like the atmosphere and style. So I decided it would be fun to translate, but I don't have a scanner here. A quick post over on the manganews.net forums and I found that Tama-chan Scans would be willing to scan it, so I sent them the book, and we embarked on a joint translation project.

Tama-chan Scans should be releasing the first chapter shortly (on Sunday, which it is here in Tokyo now) so please check it out. Otherwise, you can get a small flavor of what it looks like over at the MangaTranslation.com Hells Angels site, but there isn't really too much content there. Just the standard things I usually have (character lists, text translations, crappy web design.)

I hope you guys enjoy the series. I think it fits in quite well with Vulgar Ghost Daydream and some of the other stuff I've done around here.

Read the first chapter. Good stuff Fugu. Any idea how many volumes Hells Angels is?

From the pics seems kind of a fun story

But if its like VGD it already have my approval. Lets give it a good look.

Three volumes are out in Japan, and I believe the third volume concludes the series. I'm currently halfway through the second volume, so I won't be sure until I actually read the third, but that is what it looks like.

I've got a lot of stuff to keep me busy translating. I need to start on VGD again, but because I'm up to all this mahjong stuff, I have to do a bit of research before I can start translating. Heh.

it's a unique and eye-cathing title. Looking forward for more. Thanks for the release!

I'm intrigued, but I can't seem to be able to find a link to the torrent on the Tamascans page. Help, please.

Hm, did you take a look at irc? I got it there. You can use irc, right?

Yes, I can use irc, though I prefer other means. I'll look it up on irc. Thanks.

Just a note that I finished translating chapter 2 yesterday. Tama-chan scans wanted higher quality edits than my "auto-edits" so hopefully they'll have it ready in a week or so. I'll probably pop out chapter 3 tomorrow or Friday.

I'm about halfway through reading Hells Angels volume 3, and I really like the series. It has a very interesting take on the Judeo-Christian mythos, and is coming to a really conclusive ending by volume 3 (the last volume.) Really interesting series I think.

I finished translating Chapter 3 today, and looks like tamachan-scans have scanned chapter 4, so I can start on that.

I finished reading the final volume (3) the other day, and I really like the entire story. I think you guys will enjoy it as well.

Tama-chan scans should be releasing chapter 2 this Sunday, I'll make a Chapter Release Announcement sticky thread when that happens.

Just finished translating Chapter 5. Now I can go and do some work on Vulgar Ghost Daydream.

I hope you all are enjoying Hells Angels. I've read the entire series, and I really think it has an interesting story line. Going back a second time and translating it, I see a lot of subtle things in it, and it has a very interesting take on Western and Eastern mythos and religion.

I've read the first chapter and liked it. I'm starting on the next chapters today.
Thanks for a fine manga, Fugu.

I finished translating volume 1 today. Tama-chan scans should be putting out chapter 6 soon, and then they will have to edit chapter 7. I'm really enjoying this series, I'm looking forward to translating volume 2 when I get the scans.

Just an update. I finished translating the last chapter in volume 2 today, so that should show up eventually over on http://tamascans.net/

They also said that they would be scanning the final volume pretty soon, so there is a good chance that I can finish this series out.

Then I have to decide if I want to continue on and translate GoGo Heaven http://members.jcom.home.ne.jp/mangafor ... main2.html
It takes place in a similar universe to Hells Angels, and is a fun cute story, just a single volume, completed in April 2005 I think.

good staff,now it's seems that u r too busy to do this work now.

hmm,no new post

Looking forward for more. Thanks for the release!

going back and checking what I have, I have full translations of volumes one and two, but only have the first chapter of volume three translated. I thought that I completed the whole thing, but seem to have lost the data somewhere along the way. shoot.
