most of the one short no one cares to tl

I have the raws for this, do you want them? I have the full raws for like 400 WSJ manga and at least half of them nobody in the West knows about.

Make a mega or something, user.

Holy shit, YES PLEASE. There's barely anything available for this series.

You'd have to tell me what site to upload them to for the sake of this thread, as I don't have accounts anywhere

Just make a torrent out of it.

>tfw niche stuff never gets translated

Ok OP looks cool but is the edge any cool? Can you give a short summary of what it's about? Why dont you think people know about it?

You can upload it to files.catbox.moe, but they have a 200MB file cap so keep that in mind.

Takeki Ryuusei.

Tetsuo Hara's tribute to Hioshi Motomiya/Otoko Ippiki Gaki Daishou. Essentially the same vein as Masami Kurumada's Otokozaka, both were 3 volumes as well.

There's very little info on it but it seems to be about fighting terrorists or whatever. It got U19'd it seems, perhaps it was a too different for a Jump manga.

Okay, the two volumes together are just over that limit and the upload is very slow, so I'll do them one at a time I guess. The first one is almost done.

I feel like you could get Hokuto no Gun to scanlate this since there site was founded on translating Hara and they are now doing Otoko Ippiki. The raws for this are publicly available.

Okay, here's The Edge Vol 1

files.catbox.moe/s6lb8z.rar

Sasuga OP

I will add however that it's probably better to wait until Otoko is translated at least a few more volumes as some of the tribute is later material

That's not me though.

And here is Vol 2

files.catbox.moe/bjzigx.rar

Thank you very much, what was the source for these?

I doubt it was "too different", this was the era when Hojo, Hara and Miyashita were all still in their prime. Maybe it was seen as too derivative or didn't stand out enough. Maybe it didn't have enough humor as City Hunter started very serious but as it got more popular it became funny and Hara's follow up to Hokuto no Ken was Hana no Keiji which had much more humor than the super-serious HnK. If you look at the TOC in the issue The Edge started, every series in there lasted more than ten volumes (and most way more than that), except for The Edge and the three manga that had been started just a few weeks earlier (two by established creators).

Rokudenashi Blues

Attached: Rokudenashi Blues.jpg (600x600, 82.02K)

The series is free on kindle. If you just want to rip some old stuff, you can try from there but you basically have to like very particular authors who put all their work there.

We are literally chapters away from the most hype arc in the series which lasts for volumes so I always try to tell myself they are going to drop that all as a single batch but there's no way that's true given how slow they've been trickling out the chapters leading up to it. Someone needs to snipe them already.

scanlations where?

Well that was the impression I got when reading through what little info this series has online. Almost all the Google Translated Japanese sites I went thorugh mentioned that perhaps the series would fit better in a "Young" (Seinen) magazine. Also keep in mind that 1989 was sort of the twilight years for these type of "Manly" series as most of them ended by the early 90's. Maybe Jump's audience grew out of liking these types of manga.

It's not obscure but relative to how popular the author is, this barely gets talked about.

Maybe, but I think the magazine was just fucking stacked. Rokudenashi Blues could fit well in a young magazine and was only just starting at this point and lasted for another eight years. Jojo had also just started and lasted for decades. The young magazines had much more success in the 90's than the 80's, they were just getting started in the 80's.

anonfile.com is another option

God Damn

I already uploaded it earlier in the thread

if you speak french not too far

I wouldnt say Freesia is necessarily obscure as i've seen it posted here a few times but really most of matsumoto i would say.

Aren't those just manga that got axed for being bad?

OW

>if you speak french not too far
WHY FRENCH GETS ALL THE COOL SHIT!?

All the old hits are obscure to Westerners as well, or at least English Westerners. As has already been pointed out, the French for example got a lot of the old Jump classics decades ago that English people never will. And some stuff got cancelled for controversy or author problems and wasn't necessarily unpopular.

Now all we need are some TLers

Give it some time, SysCha will eventually pick it up. Eventually.

It's almost time or the main man to appear.

Matsumoto is a hard guy to get into.
He seems to get off on fucking with the reader.

Exactly, but i keep coming for more, really he's the only author who manage to make me hate and love a manga at the same time.

user, Buso Renkin is fairly popular and well known.

How big is all the files?
Would you be willing to upload them all?

its not obscure if you live in Japan and France

because they both like and buy manga

Kochikame is great, I believe the problem is people getting hung up on translating the whole thing, you should really just jump around and start with the best stuff, a lot of the best stories are very self-contained and there's no long arcs. There's a fan-favorite character who literally only appeared in one chapter every four years for the Summer Olympics (I wonder if he'll come back this year or not now that the Olympics were delayed?)

Yes, but I believe those are public raws if you want it

I'm not against uploading them in theory, but I don't want to seed a torrent, especially not if a lot of the material is available for anyone already. I'd prefer some catalog of Jump manga that anyone can add to so people see what's missing and concentrate on buying and ripping those (or in some cases scanning as there are still plenty of interesting Jump manga that haven't been digitized).

More like, because they aren't cucked by American corporations. If countries were allowed to do their own stuff and Viz didn't have its claws in the whole English world, you can bet more manga could have gotten translated or built their own communities.

This.
Any of the early shit (especially if it came out during the 60s/70s) never gets talked about.

The guys at Hokuto no Gun who were into Hara's works aren't there anymore, there's an ongoing Souten no Ken series that they've said they're not interested in scanning for example

It was fun, but it's hard to stand out when he had three Jump hits and four failed Jump series (plus his Young Jump hit)

I fucking love his character design

This is really good art.

>three Jump hits
Wingman, VGA and I''S?

You could make a mega folder and just upload them series by series to the folder.

you are sitting on gold

You could probably build interest in some of them but a lot of early Jump stuff was never even collected and everything that was is very long so it's hard to commit. No one wants to commit to 29 volumes of Doberman Deka, 48 volumes of Captain/Play Ball, 23 volumes of Hochonin, 20 volumes of Astro, 27 volumes of Circuit, 25 volumes of Ring, 200 volumes of Kochikame, etc. We're still struggling with stuff from the Golden Age that has been partially scanlated for decades (City Hunter, Rokudenashi, Wingman, Tar-chan, etc.) and that's not even including plenty of other untouched great manga from that Golden era.

Yes.

do you have Susume Pirates in it

Attached: iu.jpg (414x640, 113.2K)

i didnt know Zetman was a flop

Doesn't that cost money to maintain? Kochikame alone would probably fill the whole free account.

Yes, I believe I have the physical scans and the digital ones (which are slightly different keeps the color chapters from the magazine in color). You can technically get the physical scans from public raws and the digital ones are free on kindle but I could share them. I would like his second Jump series but it doesn't even seem to be available digitally and I can't find it scanned.

user, Zetman is YJ
>plus his Young Jump hit
other user definitely mentioned it

That was the Young Jump series
