What is this? Could it possibly be true? No way, right? Right?



Wrong.

Let us explain something. In this community of scanlators, there is such a thing as honor among thieves. Though we steal the creations of others and bring them to new audiences, there are certain unspoken principles that most of us abide by: Do not seek personal financial gain. Do not try to take a series from a group that clearly does it better. Do not use translations you know are incorrect. Do not hold your work hostage to punish your readers. Do not plagiarize the scanlation work of others.

In one sense we have these shared values to thank for this alliance. In another, it was a certain group that does not share these values which truly brought us together. Manojuchiha of Mangacurse, know that this is what happens when you make enemies out of half the scanlation scene.

We are now united with a common purpose and a common love for this series. To our fellow fans, we bring you this promise: We will release Bakuman on Friday, every week, with the finest quality you have come to expect from each of our groups, until and unless a worthy competitor emerges.

Enjoy the release.

Sincerely,

Muda Scantrad

Is it good? I mean, I really enjoyed Death Note, but I can't imagine much "development" in a story based on a boy who wants to be a mangaka xD

not 1 boy , 2 boys

and its good kiba i like it alot , its a slice of life cut short

Agreed with Loki - anime is pretty good~ :3

I'm glad I made the right choice to go with a group such as yours.
MangaCurse heavily disappointed me when I found out how they work and the spoiled child behind it. Accusing others of stealing from them and refusing to release to their fans?
Didn't help that their quality was terrible, after that venture they stuck an intrusive watermark on every page.
And before the deleted posts that were made against them (saved the ones I made pointing out there issues as constructively as possible), I remember reading that they were profiting from their ventures.

Muda and the two groups above have my respect, teach Manojuchiha and his cronies the proper ettiquette in scanlating and how it is done.

And yes, I made an account so that I could thank you for the stance you are making, I really didn't mind that I had to wait longer for quality, but what you are doing is brilliant, only wish I could help.

Just by coming here and saying what you said you are already helping, and I mean it. Thanks for the kind words ^^
