In this thread we talk about the manga NHK Ni Youkoso!
> Japanese shut-ins, loli h-games and conspiracies, oh my!
Hooray for Jinmen acquiring this one! Two chapters released so far. Haven't compared their translation job to "the other one" but I doubt it could be worse!
I hearby declare this manga as something new and worth reading.
How often does Jinmen actually release stuff?
Now there's an awesome replacement for Genshiken for them. Let's hope they get some chapters released. Even if I haven't read it yet, I can say with some certainty that this one will be far better than the other translation.
Update: After reading the two chapters, I declare this 110% AWESOME.
Shounen Ace!
> How often does Jinmen actually release stuff?
I think that kinda depends on who does what in the group. Generally, they are not a very fast group, but their translations are usually excellent.
Oh god, I almost forgot that one.
mangainc.com -> 3 translated chapters.
they abandoned NHK for now, because they dont have jap translators.
...not much of a change there, then.
Age for released chapter 3.
Sempai sure has nasty cuts on her wrist. The prices you pay for being weird...
Interesting discovery: There is an NHK Ni Youkoso! novel, which is what the manga is based on. That's the one that has the cover by yoshitoshi ABe. ABe also did the cover for Tatsuhiko Takimoto's earlier novel NEGATIVE HAPPY CHAIN SAW EDGE.
Missed that the first (and second) time, thanks.
no, this is more than 110% awesome. It defies ranking. Great funny stuff. Jinmen's done some wierd stuff. That 'family zoo' thing? That was one of the strangest things I've ever read, no shitting you. And Guu's funny.
Shingo and CVs' work is miles better than Mangainc or Evil Genius could hope for.
>>11
Wait, it was actually called NEGATIVE HAPPY CHAIN SAW EDGE? I thought that was Amikai screwing up.
Evil Genius... gah. Their work is generally sub-par and they have the worst case of overinflated ego of all time. --
It is called that, all in katakana. I've been trying to find scans just to get the cover, but no luck yet.
And CV sure is a busy guy. Good thing too.
CV is an accomplished manga editor, 4chan mod, and extremely creepy pedophile.
Someone clone him quick!
Not that it matters much, but I think CV is one of the least creepy pedophiles I have seen on the internet.
lol: http://homepage.mac.com/abworks/iblog/C1042034385/E396367558/index.html
(found over @ Shii's blog)
Counterpoint: CV wouldn't be on the Internet if he weren't a pedophile with MS. See, regular 40-year-olds are too good for Internet forums.
when are moer releases coming?
Im starting to like this series!
> when are moer releases coming?
In the standard words of one of my favorite software developers: "It's done when it's done."
Seriously though: As long as you aren't paying for it, just chill and enjoy what comes. In the meantime, download free porn and wank yourself silly!
Chapters 4 and 5 by "Evil Genius"
ttp://evanidus.ath.cx:7420/torrents/%5BEvil_Genius%5DNHK_v01c004-5.torrent
Translation is so-so. Recognizes a few puns but some translations are outright awful (Satou calling Yamazaki "you perverted little lolita!", spelling "Jung" as "Yung", etc.).
Waiting for Jinmen....
The fastest = the best. I prefer to read raws anyways, but the dumbfucks usually won't give em away ("fansubbing convence" my ass -/)
Yotte, Evil Genius rocks. Also for picking up Biomega, so we don't have to wait 3 years or so when these Omanga dudes actually deign to do their next update.
Also, while we still are at it...
>Seriously though: As long as you aren't paying for it blah blah blah
Just wanna say I don't get that attitude of (most) manga translators, banning and insulting people for mere asking when the next chapter will come out. Surely you're doing the Good Thing™ and all that crap. But there's this one thing. If you're not just kicking these translations around for your friends but actually RELEASE them into the open world, be prepared to cope with that. It's just fucking NATURAL for the people to come and ask what's going on and why there were absolutely no updates for about a year or so. So everytime I see another fucked up in the head dude bitching about how all these people dishonour his virginity I just wanna tell em right away to shut the fuck down that site of theirs and stop OOH TORMENTING themselves that way. There are plenty of willing people ready to take your place anyways.
Sure it's natural to people come up and ask stupid questions, it's also natural to someone get pissed after he/she/it has been asked the same damn question several hundred times.
> The fastest = the best.
Yeah right. And if you could actually read raws, you'd have no problem finding them on Japanese P2P software, but it seems like you just want to look at the purdy, purdy pictures anyway.
> Just wanna say I don't get that attitude of (most) manga translators, banning and insulting people for mere asking when the next chapter will come out.
I wasn't banning or insulting anyone, I was telling him to chill. So should you. I don't give a shit whether you think your whining is natural or not. This whole attitude of demand without compensation that wants to somehow justify itself ("nature") and constantly whine is what invites the drama, not the friendly reminder to just wait for it.
Come to think of it...
Isn't Evil Genius the guy behind Mangainc (and thus also the author of those gay webcomics)?
I don't think that something like asking "how things are going now" after a year of inactivity could be considered stupid (well actually, the more correct wording in that case would be "wtf guys, did you all die or something?" -)). Really, it does sometimes seem like instead of work some of them are just sitting their asses off at their forum all the time, waiting for someone to actually come and ask that, despite all teh zOMGWTF WARNING MESSAGES - so they could go "A-HA!!" and all that stuff. -)
Neither I was talking about you personally. Nor its about the extreme cases of the real, ugly, nasty "DEMANDING" as you have put it. But when a mere spark of interest burns such a deeply-harmed state... or so it seems, judging from the usual reactions...
All in all, it's still mostly a speed problem I think. If one releases the stuff frequently, no one'll have a reason to "whine".
BUT, a matter of politeness as well.
まー, I was just speaking myself out. Case closed.
As for P2P soft, I've just started to figure out Share (which doesn't seem to work under my Win98 anyways). And it was deeply in the past when you could actually find something in WinMX.
Once you've been in a few groups you recognize a general pattern:
a) The ferocious startup. Plenty of chapters edited.
b) The cycle. Group settles into a considerably slower cyclic state.
c) Endgame. Group slowly peters out.
Evil_Genius is very much in stage a). All the signs are there: fast editing, poor QC, bad editing. They are slowly coming to the end of a). You'll know they've entered b) when the quality suddenly spikes and the release schedule slows down accordingly.
My main issue with E_G is the youthful arrogance though. I have spoken on occasion to Oro, and while he is a pleasant fellow when alone, he can't stand having errors or suggestions pointed out publically. He's fairly sane though, it's the others I'm worried about.

CV is an editing machine. Ast is a translating machine. Watch out.
I've been reading the E_G version for a while, but now I have seen the error of my ways.
Great manga, regardless. Hilarious stuff.
The two new ones from Jinmen are out, so, like, download it and stuff.
Chapters 4 and 5, that is. I didn't know 4 was out already(?).
http://jinmen.pyoko.org/zipfiles/%5BJJ%5DNHK_v1ch05.zip for those who are as lazy and me and can't be bothered to go hunt down the link.
Can somebody please give me the original title of the manga in Japanese (not romaji)?

Great release, thanks Jinmen!
I wonder what Satou's father looks like...
I want to add that I have this deep, selfish wish that this thing gets licensed one day. I'd definitely buy it, even if they don't throw in any cool extras for the paperback release...
Brilliant translation work so far, anyhow.
And if anyone has any nice pics from the series or fanart, please feel free to post some on WAKAchan.
>>61 i dont think so. Because NHK is only have 3volumes
"...we present to you the second volume of the grand-scale roman-fleuve vision of springtime-of-youth hikikomori life! They'll look pretty and colorful when you line then up on your bookshelf!"
And it's just getting better.
Meh. In my country there have been manga releases of series that weren't DBZ style 60+ volumes, either.
where can i find NHK v01 ch03 and up?
If you have the old MangaInc translations of 1-3, get and re-read the Jinmen ones instead, which are funnier and make sense.

Right. I was pretty tired when I posted that, so yeah: my bad.
Another excellent release.
Utterly depraved and absolutely excellent!
I was laughing at the Kamen Rider joke as soon as he put on the mask.
Also: There was never any such thing as romance in Japan!
> There was never any such thing as romance in Japan!
I think a collection of things and ideas believed or rumored to be imported into Japan is in order. I found myself snickering away over the claim that the west introduced female breasts as a sexual object, thus leading to the covering up of them by clothes and censorship in the historical process which some Japanese otaku on some other board held violent resentments against.
Someone should count how many panels there are of Satou not sweating.
Does anybody know if pink doujin of NHK Ni Youkoso exist?

I want chapter 12 :(
EG released chapters 12-14 today and JJ disbanded.
However, EG is shitty translations of serial scans and C_V/AstCd2 are still working on it as A-M, so nothing much has changed. Unless you want those old chapters, of course.
> JJ disbanded.
That's sad to hear. One of the better groups out there by far.
.. and I ended up here for googling "Richard Mongler"
NHK fans like to read Shingo's blog!

Yeah, but the people who are working on it for JJ are joining some other group to do it :O
Yes that's why I said that in the post

The next volume will be released on 26 May. Soon after that date you can expect a translation with non-shitty quality to be released!
Anyone read the novel version besides me?
http://www.tyth.net/wordpress/?p=180
Volume whatever it is came out yesterday.
the last translated chapter is 14 by evil genious
yes?
Needs more A-M translations!
Needs ANY A-M translations!!
what is A-M ???
A-M is under a once-in-a-lifetime stress right now. Naisho no Tsubomi, He Is My Master, and Ichigo Marshmallow are all being translated at once-- the latter two are released only once a year, and the former only has one volume. These are all being edited by Censored Vagina (who, as you may recall, is too cool for SA). So, you might have to wait a little bit for NHK, but something new will surely be out in June.
Covertly got 100.
A-M: the scanlators for true otaku people with refined taste.
Lately i have gotten very busy,i got a girl friend,job and exams...leaving me with no time at all and also most of translator are slowly leaving too, that is putting me under lots of pressure,So i have decided to drop BReaction!,ElfenLied,FMA,Mar,NHK,MP0,Biomega and TenTen after our next update.We are STILL doing Berserk and zetman.I am pretty sure someone will pick these drop projects.Sorry that we couldn't continue them and thanks for your support.
Hooray for EvilGenius dropping NHK! (ﾉ･∀･)ﾉ
but jinmei is not translating NHK too
More translated NHK plz. :(
Can anyone torrent or otherwise provide the JJ translations? They have taken them off their page...
>>107
They're delaying NHK in favor of HIMM/IM/NNT, because they're more pedo.
here are the JJ translations. for 4-ch only
GJ!
Evil Genius released chapter 15. I thought they dropped it... guess not. It's better than nothing for people who can't read Japanese. Hopefully a better group will pick this up soon. :\
anyone know where I can grab raw images of NHK Ni Yokoso?
Winny and Share, as usual.
where i can see status of evilgenious' translation ??
Considering that three of A-M's series have just been licensed, and a fourth series is just one chapter from completion, I suspect they'll speed up with NHK a fair bit.
They just released a chapter, BTW.
> They just released a chapter, BTW.
Hooray!

> Moé - moé is hard to pin down, but "attractively cute" is one way of putting it.
> Possibly a play on "moeru" (to burn), though it isn't written with that kanji. The origin of the word is debatable. We're using the accent mark so that it isn't pronounced like the name of a certain bartender.

Moe is to cute what porn is to sex.

Missed this ealier. Great new chapter!

Cannot find any NHK doujin... why is that?
so ... who exactly is doing NHK now? I can't find it in A-M's homepage, apparently chapter 8 was like, a "secret" release ...
>>135
No, it's just been pushed off the front page by newer releases.
Since the end of September, Akatsuki manga seem to have a Kareha based message board:
http://www.akatsukimanga.com/kareha/
I made a thread for NHK there, so release questions are probably more appropriate there.
>>137 Awesome!
What's the latest chapter in Japan at the moment?
>>140
21 or thereabouts.
The soon-to-be-released Volume 4 should cover chapters 16-20.
I'm kind of surprised this hasn't been mentioned yet.
According to MOON PHASE, there's currently a NHK ni Youkoso anime in production.

Is EG's translation really that bad? I really don't care about the names of some lolicon model for some reference I'm not going to get anyways.
Ok.. EG really is bad =(
NHK just got licensed
>>180
whowhatwherewhy
Hopefully they don't screw it up too much.
>>183
Yay for setting the bar really low in the slight chance they might meet it
If the bar is really low, wouldn't it be difficult to limbo under it? That being the case, wouldn't it be better for the bar to set higher?
They can't do worse than EG...
(´･ω･`)
If you're a translator then why not help them out instead of hating so hard. It's one thing to just point out a mistake that could easily be fixed but what's up with hating on an entire group?
>>187 too late to help them now! It's already licensed!
>>188
That won't stop anyone from scanlating it
It will stop anyone with a shred of ethics. Which would mean most competent translators.
Also, >>187, did you ever actually try and tell a ego-driven translating group like EG about their mistakes?
>>189 most scanlators stop once it is licensed not only becaue it is goes against the so called fansubbers ethical code of not charging and stopping distribution once it is licensed.
Also, another reason is that there time could be better used by focusing on translating something else since it's a waste of time to translate a manga that is going to be done by a professional company anyway.
So it's been licensed... but the TokyoPop part was just a joke, right? Right?
>>193 Tokyopop only licenses popular and shitty manga. It can't be true!
The tokyopop part isn't a joke
Looks like it's suicide for me.
Tokyopop = 50% good, 50% gay.
So there is a chance it'll turn out good.
>>198
That falls into the 50% gay. Tokyopop hoped that Initial was going to be really popular over here and went ahead and mangled it. I think they even tried to get it on Cartoon Network...
Thank God for scanlations.
