Getter Robo G - The Terrifying Bacteriological Bomb

We're just one chapter away from completion now. The next chapter after this one is the final - but its nearly 200 pages in length (that's an entire volume for most series)! Therefore, Getter Robo G Chapter 5 will be released in two parts. Many thanks to OtherSideofSky for his translation.

In other news, expect a Mars and Dokuro no Yakata release tomorrow!

Getter Robo G ch. 3, Mars ch. 2 and New Project: Dokuro

That's right, another new project! This time, it's Go Nagai's Dokuro - a collection of horror themed short-stories being translated by OtherSideofSky.

In addition, it's time for another chapter of Getter Robo G (also translated by OtherSideofSky). This time, it's a brand new story exclusive to Getter Robo Saga focusing on the origin of the Hyakki Empire. To top it off, we've got another chapter of Yokoyama's Mars. Translation by our friends at Hokuto no Gun. Many thanks to OtherSideofSky, Hokuto no Gun and HappyScans!

Mars by Mitsuteru Yokoyama

This manga is not related to Go Nagai's Dynamic Pro in any way... But, as a fan of mecha and manga in general, I really wanted to read this in English. Well, Katatonia of Hokuto no Gun has set out to make that possible with his translation of Yokoyama's Mars!

This is a joint project between us, Hokuto no Gun and HappyScans! We're proud to present: Mars Volume 1 Chapter 1.

Don't forget to check out other Yokoyama related scanlations, such as his adaption of  Romance of the Three Kingdoms, called Sangokushi, which is being translated by Hox.

Getter Robo G Chapter 2 and New Project Announcement

Presenting Getter Robo G Chapter 2.

In addition to this release, I would also like to officially announce that Dynamic Pro Scanlations will be teaming up with HappyScans! and Hokuto no Gun to scanlate Mars by the legendary Mitsuteru Yokoyama. Expect the first chapter of this series to be released sometime next week along with the third chapter of Getter Robo G.

Getter Robo G and the Future of Getter Robo Scanlations

Man, it sure was difficult getting this released. But, it's finally here! Many, many thanks to OtherSideofSky for translating this and a shout out to Wright for checking over the work.

Getter Robo G consists of 5 chapters, and I'll release one per week. Now, with that out of the way, I'd like to talk about future Getter Robo projects; namely Getter Robo Arc.

Aside from Shin Getter Robo, I have had to personally pay for the translation of each Getter Robo series due to the scarcity of translators. This has cost me about $250 in all (not counting the fees for actually buying the books), and now that total has jumped up to $350 with the translation of Getter Robo G. So what am I getting at? Well, this: I need donations. Getter Robo Arc, at this rate, will not be released unless I can scrounge up another $100 that I don't have.

You may be thinking, "Oh, I don't have the money to spare!"
Well, I know that feeling, because I'm completely broke from spending all of my free money on this stuff. But consider this: thousands of people download these releases (that's just mediafire links. I'm not even counting everyone who reads it on sites like mangafox or get it from alternative download links/torrents) so if just a small portion of readers donated anywhere from $2 to $5, paying for the translation is easy. I'm not asking for a high dollar value, I'm just asking for a lot of people to chip in a very small amount of money. Basically, we need to spirit bomb these translation fees.

Now, there have been those of you that have donated in the past. Thank you! This message is not for you - you've done your part and I fully appreciate all the help I've gotten financially for these projects. Once again, thank you. You're the reason that the Getter scanlations have even gotten this far.

I've tried my hardest to bring everyone these great comics by Dynamic Pro for nearly 4 years now, and I'm asking you - those who get to enjoy these releases - to help me help you. Remember this - Getter Robo G was delayed so long because of translator and financial difficulties.

Anyhow, that's the gist of things. Enjoy reading Getter Robo G Chapter 1!

UPDATE: In just a few days, we've reached our goal! I cannot thank you all enough for your support. Look forward to Getter Robo Arc!
