colorpage fix: v1 v2 v3
Note: original archives do not include fix. (Since fix is so big...) Just download all files.
Download links are in linkfolder M in scans by Random Scans page.
-rescan of one of the best manga series in existence!
Note: One of color pages was broken in v4 v5 v7. A fix maybe someday.
Basically those pages required redraw before they could be included to archive. And since I suck with image editing, end result was not satisfactory. So i call them broken to remind myself to seek better versions. Though, while I plan to try to get better color page scans in the (far?) future, but there are raws and scanslations in good quality so I have no reason to hurry.
To be honest, my opinion is heavily influenced by my love for ecchi. So more accurately, one of the best ecchi harem mangas. That ignored, I'm still at awe at this new monster girl genre. And ecchi ignored perhaps a better example would be 'Centaur no Nayami'. Just exploring of humans and human world is achievement to any artist. Yet mangakas behind this monster girl genre are exploring all kinds of fictional body shapes, related cultures and resulting worlds. They aren't just creating stories, they are creating new kind of fictional universes. Of course this genre has been building up slowly before this. But I feel that these two series especially have brought all the pieces together and defined it.
I read the kekkai sensen vol1-3 after its recent anime in progress ,and it just awesome more than anime ever hope to achieve in an episode.Can you please scan more of the volume of the series .Anyway thanks for the update
The person running this site didn't like it though, so that's all we'll likely get. (Well, I own all volumes in both English &, because I'm impatient, Japanese, but...)
I suggest seeing if your local library carries it or will accept a request for it. I request every volume I read and like here and check them out, too, to keep the library's manga popularity numbers as high as they should be, in a small way.
I agree with your assessment of the anime vs. manga. They made it less ensemble-centric and much more Leo-centric than it needed to be, and chopped out some of the best character bits. Leo's only supposed to be a pun-like take on the eyes of the everyman. He's the one who grants us exposition, but the side-plot with White that they crowbarred into the anime... Sigh. And they play music with words far too often & in the wrong places.
Anon-san, at minimum, you must read volume 4 of Kekkai Sensen. It is THE BEST, with a fight club chapter that was better than the anime which left out a special guest in one panel, and then THE CAR! The car-centric episode with an extra combat butler!
Thanks, I was meaning to read this one!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean by "broken"? Unavailable? Badly cut? The two pages don't match? Something else?

I was wondering, why do you consider this one of the best manga of all time? I'm considering reading it, so I'm curious.
DeleteThanks as usual, and of course "Because!" is a perfectly acceptable answer. :)

Do you plan to scan 12 Beast volumes when they'll come up?
