Today I went through our entire archive of scanned books and checked their zip file integrity. Then after going through back ups, there were still few problematic books.
Here I have listed the books in question, and the images in them which are corrupted.
-Banya v4 , p014
-Bleach v4 , p044 p073
-Cromartie High School v10 , p002 p040
-Kagetora v7 , 007 047 050
-Kobato v4 , all after 069
-Kyoukai no Rinne v4 , 082
-Q ko-chan v1 , p002 p104
-The Dragons of Outland v1 , p040
So I ask help from you, dear readers. If you happen to have uncorrupted version of any of these zip files, then please upload those for me. (Or just those few pages in question, if thats more convenient)
Also the zip of WilsonWilson's "I Hate You v1" was corrupted. (Check the "Scan Releases" page) It would be nice to have that back to share as well.
So why don't we just rescan those pages? Well, yes, recanned. But it would be nice to have those original scans too...
Banya v4(m)
Bleach v4(m)
Cromartie High School v10(m)
Kyoukai no Rinne v4(m)
Kagetora v7(m)
Kobato v4(m)
Q ko-chan v1(m)
The Dragons of Outland v1(m)
I am glad that I can help

ReplyDeleteHello KTK!
ReplyDeleteHow are you? I hope that you had an enjoyable weekend. :)
This is Angie; the person who had left the comment last week (on the Aitsu post) inquiring about contacting you via email. :)
Thank you very much for the reply! I was down with the flu so I wasn't able to reply sooner.
Well, as I had mentioned before, heartfelt thank you for taking the time and the effort to scan and share all of these treats with us, not only Yaoi for those of us who enjoy reading it, but also, all of the other genres that you always so generously share with us. We sincerely and greatly do appreciate it.
Even though I, and I'm sure many others as well, do purchase the original copies from time to time, because of our geographic locations, for some of us, the countries in which we live make it extremely difficult for us to be able to purchase the books all the time because of country restrictions, in terms of importing manga, especially BL (yaoi) because of its nature.
It's really disheartening and upsetting because on several occasions I've had my poor book and hard-earned little money gone down the drain because of the books being confiscated by customs when I purchase them and it's the same situation for many of my friends and others in countries around the world.
So, it really makes me happy that and most appreciative that you're providing these scans so that people like me and the numerous others can have the privilege of being able to read these series. Sometimes we are lucky to be able to get the books safely in our hands, other times we are not.
In addition, I like to have both the hardcopy and a "digital" format so that I can be able to read the both the actual books in my hand, as well as on mobile devices when I'm on the go. Sadly, after inquiring about these titles from the publishers, we were told that they were not able to obtain the digital licenses of these titles, making it difficult for some of us to obtain because of country restrictions, since our purchases would have to shipped to our respective countries. :( Whereas with a credit card, it is a bit different, even though in my country, they do check those purchases as well. It's terrible. :(
** I have to leave 2 separate comments since it won't allow me to submit everything in one long post. :)
** Continuing from the comment above:
ReplyDeleteI had wanted to contact you via another means instead of here to write this, but thanks again for reading and listening.
I wanted to humbly ask, would there be any possibility of you please and kindly consider sharing the english scans of these licensed Yaoi titles as well? At least temporarily (the same could be done with Aitsu as well to avoid any problems) If you would kindly consider it, the scans could be provided on the site temporarily and then removed after some time if you wish.
You don't have a another email that I can use to contact you for the time being and then you can just delete the account after? :)
Anyway, these are some of the more popular english titles:
1. Deadlock by Aida Saki/Takashina Yuu - (So far, only 1 volume has been released in English and is ongoing)

2. Hey! Class President by Monchi Kaori (A few volumes have already been released and is still ongoing)-
http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=22192
3. Border by Kodaka Kazuma (A few volumes have already been released and is still ongoing) -
http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=10092
4. Usagi Otoko Tora Otoko by Honma Akira (2 volumes have been released and is still ongoing) -
http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=47013
There are others, but those are just some of the few popular Yaoi titles that haven't been fully scanlated and that don't have any official digital licenses available for us to purchase.
Thank you very much in advance for your kind consideration and even if you can't or don't wish to consider it, could you just let me know if you received this comment, please?
Thank you so much again for all of your hard work! Please keep on spreading the love and if there's anything that I can do to help, do let me know. :)
Have a great week and hope to hear from you soon.
If you do consider it, that would be so great, and of course, it would be at your own time and convenience, surely. :)
DeleteThank you. ^^
We don't really take request. Especially if the said request would require money to fulfill. :(
DeleteOf course if good yaoi books come by our way, they will be scanned. But as you probably noticed that even the Aitsu no Daihonmei, which I personally enjoyed, was only scanned from library copies.
So let's just hope that those books come by.
I understand. How would one go about donating the books to be scanned, then? Is there an address that they can't be sent to for you to receive them? I can see if anyone would be willing to donate them.
DeleteAnd thank you for replying. :)
