True... but, you could include a spoiler-free synopsis, and then detail on the story, separating it by volumes!

You do it!

/bad at those stuff.

Reviews are okay, but synopsis or the likes are ugh.

Lol! I'll figure out wiki one day and do it when i'm more free~

Oh.. I'm so jealous that you can read them all!

haha well we'll work on giving it to you guys ^^

I got my copy of Vol. 12 and 13 today ^^ I have to say, I'm super excited about reading it ._.



Vol 14. Gotta say, these Yoin guys look pretty good. Especially their ace (grey hair...... i think. aaaaahh it's been ages since i read... and all i got was their insight on things.)

Tsukiyama Kaya's blog says that vol 15 is coming out in April. LET'S JUST SAY THAT TSUKIYAMA KAYA'S WORKING SPEED IS ON CRACK AND LEAVE IT AT THAT!!!

He also says that he endeavours to explain the football vocabulary in Vol. 14 ^^

kouri are you reading the hk-chinese volumes or the japanese ones?

HK Chinese ^^"

i translate predominantly from hk chinese too although i do cross check with JP =D

That's why i'm worried about the lack of raws << None have come out after vol 8... it isn't a problem yet, but still ^^

oh noes.
i prefer JP raws than CH raws. :/
i think JP raws has better pic quality.. XD

lol, me too.
they're more original..

if you've looked at the REAL raws, the Chinese and Japanese ones are SO different.

somehow the HK Chinese company (JONESKY Limited) feels the need to redesign the cover and chapter header...

the redesign of the cover is fine by me, since it removes the wheelchair spokes and allows me to appreciate the beauty of the art XD
but yeah.

The Yoin ace is actually the guy in the middle. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT?!?!?! [/snark]

BUT YEAH. I was rereading vol 8. it's so relaxing like you can't believe. Too bad i can't talk about it a lot........ we must burn through vol 7 (oh yeah and vol 6...)!!!!! I demand that we get to vol 8 soon!!!!!! XD

One thing I love is how the opponents are portrayed not just as well opponents but also as people with motivations and blah blah blah.... it makes you actually root for them! Screw Enoshima Go Tsujidou! Screw Enoshima Go Yoin! etc. Although i never rooted for shounan... hibino is too bitchy for that. ;_; *this will likely blow over people's heads*

Uhhh.... you could go Screw FC Go SC but tbh I never really got that vibe from these chapters. But ODAAAAAAAAAAAa tanequil thanks to you i have recognised ODAAAAAAAAAAAAA's awesomeness.

Um, yeah. I read Vol. 14. Interesting stuff. There is a glossary with all the football terms explained (as in, JP football terms explained!!!!!!) which is probably useful. I hope raws come out soon. ><

Wooo.

Interesting and I wonder why they didn't put it in at volume 5 or so.

Guess he didn't realise the need for it until then >.>

Another double post! XD

Turns out that the writer for Area no Kishi, Igano Hiroaki....

also was an editor for GTO!!!!! :O (storyline/text editor I guess)

i didn't know that!

I mean I knew that he wrote a bunch of other stories like Kindaichi, Tantei GAkuen Q, Shibatora, Psychometrer Eiji blah blah blah, but the GTO bit I didn't know :O

WHOOOOOW that was certainly a surprise;; I didn't really see that coming by!

I know right! he is like some writing god XD

times like this i curse only being able to read english when all the good stuff is in chinese and japenese

Learn Chinese~~~

Okay that might be a tall order u_u

I'm not sure if GTO is scanlated but it better be. Apparently it's quite good >.> Actually I never saw the charm in the manga but I loved the drama >.>

SHibatora is being scanlated by Deadbeat, they are... ahem quite slow >.> (I guess I have a part in that... even if I TL only the later as in c. 90+ chapters >.>). They're up to eh.. 18 or something now. They just finished a really good arc :O (well, maybe not just.)

TGQ... has been partially scanlated, it's quite good.

Mmmmmm~~

Vol. 16 came out recently! It's about the U-16 tryouts.

Also in vol. 15 a new girl comes to school.. =D

And she's called "Eight" by Kakeru?

..... Ge4ce-swan you slay me XD

i have no idea what her name is, it's stated in earlier volumes but I can't be bothered to look it up~ i probably gave a spoiler~ hopefully this will be forgotten once those volumes come out scanlated >.>

I recently started to read Vol. 15 ^^ I got it three weeks ago, read it on the train yesterday.

New girl is pretty beautiful, she's really girly in the opposite way of Seven actually. She's called Murasaki Mai ^^ She seems to be quite conniving >_>

Silva features quite prominently in this volume :3
And there's a great bangaihen at the end with Araki and Suguru from their eh.. middle-school-hood. Araki's as Araki as ever.

The next volume seems to be about the U-16 tryouts!!!!
There's an interesting preview panel with Kakeru's mum going "Oh, Kakeru... that's amazing..." and in tears.
And Yuusuke and Kakeru and Hibino (you'll find out about him later I guess .-.) are reunited <3 U-16 HO!

edit: Also, Seven's boobs are getting bigger and bigger -.-

New DS game coming out in Japan featuring characters from Shounen Magazine manga.

Translation of blog: (rough)

On sale October 15 by Konami
Seems like our Kakeru and Nana will feature in this DS game called "Shounen Sunday & Shounen Magazine WHITE COMIC" ~
Even though they only have small parts, I believe (lol)

the last sentence confuses me and i can't be bothered to think for ages to get it right >> It's not about ANK anyway >> Something about 'definitely liking the manga in [Shounen] Sunday and [Shounen] Magazine' >>

screenshot one:
Touyama Kenta: Ah... look, guys, it's the main characters of the football manga!

Yeah...<<

Just when you think she couldn't get any more awesome.

Errr, mind if I skip on that game. I only ever play pro or Fifa anyway.
