We're getting closer to the end of Yokoyama's Mars. Tokyo is left in ruins while the last God continues his rampage against humanity and Gaia.

Mars Volume 5 Chapter 2

Many thanks to Hokuto no Gun and HappyScans!

Also, there's a new scanlation project that everyone should check out. Mazinger Angels is being translated by the brave soul at http://oppai-missile.blogspot.com/. Be sure to check it out and give him your thanks!

Getter Robo Arc Complete

I have returned, and with me I bring the conclusion to Getter Robo Arc.

Getter Robo Arc Complete (Torrent)

The final chapter of Getter Robo Arc was originally published in Super Robot Magazine Volume 14 (2003/09/19). If this were the original magazine publication, the story would end on page 354 of chapter 14. Instead, the Action Comics and Futabasha Getter Robo Saga printing have an additional 20 pages that Ishikawa added after the magazine was discontinued. But he would never get the chance to continue the series as he had planned. Ken Ishikawa passed away on 2006/11/15.

So ends the story of Getter's journey. From a manga that began in the 1970s to a life-long work stretching into the early 2000s. Each Getter series is its own story, but how they lead into each other is what makes them so compelling. It seemed that Getter Robo Arc was the beginning of the end for the Getter series in a lot of ways - but no one knows what could have been.

I just want to thank everyone that's helped me in my mission to get the Getter Robo series scanlated. OtherSideofSky, Damage, Tatari, C-K, donators, and many more. I've still yet to scan and edit the Saga version of Getter Robo Go, but as of now, the complete story of Getter Robo Saga is available in English. Enjoy the finale of Getter Robo.

In other scanlation news, my joint project with Hokuto no Gun and HappyScans has also been completed. Ken Ishikawa's Super Robot Retsuden is done!

Super Robot Retsuden Chapter 6

I'm pretty sure this chapter was scanned directly from the magazine publication, as the image quality is markedly lower than the rest of the book. I wonder what happened there? Did they lose the originals? We'll probably never know. Anyway, enjoy this chapter! Thanks to Hokuto no Gun and HappyScans! for making this possible!

Mars Volume 4 Complete

I have returned! Sorry about the random long absence, but I'm back. We've come to the end of another volume of Yokoyama's Mars. Next volume is the last in this series, and the climax is sure to leave an impression.

Mars Volume 4 Chapter 5
Mars Volume 4

And here's the release I missed while I was gone, Super Robot Retsuden.

Super Robot Retsuden Chapter 3

About the title of Super Robot Retsuden... I'm no translator, but the Retsuden part of the title consists of two kanji: 烈 and 伝.  Retsu (烈) has dictionary meanings similar to extreme. Den (伝) refers to a legend generally. Super Robot Extreme Legend? I don't know. But that's the gist of it. Our friends at Hokuto no Gun would probably provide a better answer, so ask them if you feel like it.

And speaking of which, many thanks to Hokuto no Gun and HappyScans! for these releases.

Mars Volume 4 Chapter 4

Humans start to reveal their true nature in this prelude of what's to come. With the situation quickly spiraling out of control, what can Mars possibly do?

Dynamic Superobot Wars - Super Robot Retsuden Chapter 1

The ultimate cross over manga featuring Mazinger Z, Great Mazinger, Grendizer, Getter Robo, Getter Robo G and Jeeg! These all-stars band together in order to defend Earth from cosmic evil. This manga is in the same vein as all those old Toei cross over movies, and the self-parody gets pretty strong later on. This series by Ken Ishikawa has been collected into one volume featuring ten chapters. Presenting:

Super Robot Retsuden Chapter 1

This project is brought to you by Wright of HappyScans! who purchased the raws for me to scan and is translated by our buddies over at Hokuto no Gun. Thanks to them for their awesome work!

Getter Robo Arc Vol 2 Ch. 9 and Mars Vol 4 Ch. 2

Another double dose! Okay, truth is, I forgot to release Mars yesterday so you all probably already got it from our partners over at Hokuto no Gun and HappyScans! Anyway, these are both good chapters and the Arc chapter in particular is a great preview of what's to come. Enjoy!

Getter Robo Anthology ~Will of Evolution~ Complete

Here's the last chapter of Getter Robo Anthology, translated by the ever amazing Chen Gong. The last chapter of the book focuses on the events that ended Musashi's life - it's an interesting look into what might have transpired during those final moments and a fitting conclusion to this tribute manga.

Once again, I'd just like to express my thanks to Chen Gong for saving this project and for being great to work with. Also, thanks to C-K for translating the first chapter of this volume and for his work on the Shin Getter Robo manga in general. I'm pretty glad to have another manga completed, and I hope you all enjoy it!

UFO Robo Grendizer Volume 1 Chapter 3

Here's the next installment of UFO Robo Grendizer by Ota. It serves as a powerful warning that any molesters you encounter may, in fact, be Vegans. Truly terrifying. Truly.

UFO Robo Grendizer Volume 1 Chapter 3

Thanks to Ryoma@Mexat.com, Hokuto no Gun and HappyScans! for making this release possible. I've received the script for the first chapter of Mars volume 4, so releases of that will begin soon!

Getter Robo Arc Chapter 7

Here's the first chapter of Getter Robo Arc volume 2. This is quite a good chapter and the following chapters are even better as the story really starts taking off. Thanks to OtherSideofSky for his awesome translation!

Getter Robo Arc Volume 2 Chapter 7

Also, it seems I somehow forgot to do a full volume compilation of Getter Robo G, so I've added a download link for that. Thanks to the reader who brought this to my attention.

Getter Robo Saga - Getter Robo G

Getter Robo Anthology Chapter 5

The title of this chapter, God and Dragon (神と竜) is a reference to Hayato and Ryouma's names. The "Jin" in Hayato Jin is written as 神 which can also mean God. The "Ryou" in Ryouma is written as 竜 and can mean Dragon. This story takes place between the Shin Getter Robo and Getter Robo Go manga series, right after the Saotome Lab incident with Shin Dragon. Many thanks to Chen Gong for translating this release. Enjoy!

Getter Robo Arc Volume 1 Complete

As promised, here's the full compilation of Getter Robo Arc volume 1. It includes the Mazinger short story "Relic of Terror" as a bonus chapter. We'll continue on to volume 2 either this week or the next depending on how things go on my end. Thanks to OtherSideofSky for translating Arc volume 1 and thanks to C-K for translating Relic of Terror a few years back. Enjoy!

Mars Volume 3 Chapter 5
Mars Volume 3

Only two more volumes to go until this series is complete. Thanks to Hokuto no Gun and HappyScans! for their continued work on this series.

Getter Robo Arc Volume 1 Chapter 5

The insects continue their rampage at the foot of Mt. Asama - will the Getter team be able to stop them before they infest the entire area?

Getter Robo Arc Volume 1 Chapter 5

Many thanks to OtherSideofSky for his work on this series as usual. Originally, I said this was a two part story, but that's actually not the case. The next chapter is actually the conclusion of both this story and Getter Robo Arc volume 1. We'll move on to Getter Robo Arc volume 2 shortly afterwards. Oh, and here's something to note - part of this chapter was actually adapted in the New Getter Robo OVA (2004 - 2006). See if you can recognize what scene I'm talking about!

Getter Robo Anthology Chapter 4

This is probably my favorite chapter in the entire book. I'm not familiar with its author, Masakazu Ooi, but after reading this chapter I feel the need to check out his other works. The action, art and story are all top notch in this chapter which focuses on the far future exploits of Getter and humanity.

Thanks again to Chen Gong for his awesome work, and make sure you read the credits page for his translation notes. Enjoy!

Shoes. Not so delicious.

Many thanks to Hokuto no Gun and HappyScans!

Getter Robo Arc Volume 1 Chapter 4

Holes in the fabric of reality, answers to questions that lead to more questions, nostalgia with firearms and swarms of bugs all balled up into the first half of this two part story!

Getter Robo Arc Volume 1 Chapter 4

Enjoy!

Violence Jack Volume 1 Complete

And without further delay, here it is!

Violence Jack volume 1

This isn't really new material, but now we can move on to Violence Jack volume 2 with confidence knowing that we've got this out of the way. While working on this volume, I was driven to bouts of extreme violence... Jack really does live up to his reputation! Thanks to Hokuto no Gun and HappyScans! for their great work. Working alongside them and OtherSideofSky is a blessing as together we've become quite the manga scanlation powerhouse.

Next up is some Getter Robo Arc, Anthology, Mars and much more! Soon, we'll start working through our catalog of manga that Wright purchased for the purpose of scanlation.

Getter Robo Anthology Chapter 3

Sorry for all of the delays everyone, but we're finally back! Violence Jack vol 1 is in the checking process and will be released shortly. But for today, have some Getter Robo Anthology. This time, it's Go Nagai's chapter!
Many thanks to Chen Gong for his quick work translating these chapters.

Getter Robo Anthology Chapter 3
(LQ) Getter Robo Anthology Chapter 3

Starting next week, we'll get back on schedule with our other series such as Getter Robo Arc and Mars. We've also got a surprise due soon - keep an eye out!

Mars Volume 3 Chapter 3

It's Sunday already? Where did my week go?

Mars Volume 3 Chapter 3

Releases have been kind of slim this week, practically non-existent, but hopefully we'll be back in full capacity once I successfully murder this first volume of Violence Jack and give you guys its carcass for reading enjoyment. Oh yeah, thanks to Hokuto no Gun and HappyScans! for this release.

Getter Robo Arc Volume 1 Chapter 3

Another week, another chapter of Getter Robo Arc!

Getter Robo Arc Volume 1 Chapter 3

Now, I'd like to take a moment to show you something. As you remember, I said that our scanlation partner Wright of HappyScans! spent quite a bit of his money on funding future manga projects. Well, let's take a look at what volumes Wright has personally bought and shipped to my location for the purpose of scanning!

Yokoyama's Giant Robo volumes 1-2, Shin Mazinger Zero volumes 3-6, the 4 volume Maoh Dante remake, the full-color Dynamic Heroes manga and Super Robot Retsuden. If there's enough demand and support for it, we'll do a rescan and re-release of Shin Mazinger Zero volumes 1-2. Also, Super Robot Retsuden already has scans floating around, but we figured we would give it a higher quality release.

As you can see, Wright has donated a good amount of manga. We've got translators lined up for all of the projects, it's just a matter of time until they're begun and finished. If you appreciate projects like these, please consider donating a few dollars sometime so that we can continue to keep giving you great projects by Dynamic Pro and other old-school authors like Yokoyama, Ishinomori, Tezuka and Matsumoto.
