From

aamalie's morning post, this interesting article from Publisher's Weekly about the new crackdown on manga scanlation sites.

( Full text under the cut )

What's more amazing is the comments section, IMO.

This is America. Of course publishers are going to 1) blame the internet for declining sales, and 2) figure out a way to profit from lazy internet users.

Anybody have any idea why OneManga has suspended the IY manga scans from their website? Or when it happened, for that matter?

adinuyasha has scans from chapter 449 on, but the other sites I checked are also suspiciously lacking of this title. Hmm...this does not bode well for bannering purposes.

ETA: I guess I hit them up right when they yanked everything, because now they do have a message in place (whereas before, there was only an error page):

Hot damn, I just learned how to color manga panels!

( ...and I made Sesshoumaru hot )

BTW, an icon-size is totally gankable, with credit:

Along with the launch of RT's newest manga came the news that, starting with the release of volume 38 in July, the remaining portion of the Inuyasha manga will be preserved in its original, unflipped form and released monthly, culminating with a 3-volumes-per-book mega-release in November.

Read the press release here.

Honestly, I haven't yet read the first bit of RT's new manga, and I'm not sure if I really want to "move on" into another fandom. This one has more than its fair share of dramaz, but I'm not quite ready to board the RIN-NE train just yet. Initial reports make it sound like a Bleach ripoff (which I'm sure my Bleach friends will find amusing), and of course everyone's commenting on how much RT's character design hasn't changed, LOL.

We'll see - it certainly helps that VIZ did a fantastic job with the simulcast translation. But mostly, I'm excited for the news about the Inuyasha releases, which were stuck in a total glacial pace until now. Finally, it appears my collection will be completed within my lifetime, LOL! :P

Current Mood: excited

The news is making the rounds, but I will post it here for posterity, if nothing else :)

Ganked from

inuyashaxkagome, who grabbed it from Freelance Manga:

It takes some pretty big news for me to come out of hiding and certainly warrants it.

No, this isn’t about the elusive "Black Tessaiga" which is still yet to have been scheduled a DVD release or even been camripped, this news revolves around something far more tangible.

The other day, I was elated to learn of the upcoming release of a new manga(?) volume titled "Inuyasha Special Edition Compilation: Inuyasha and Kagome" (Inuyasha Tokubetsu Henshuuban Inuyasha to Kagome 犬夜叉　特別編集版　犬夜叉とかごめ) that will be released on February 18th along with volume 56. It will cost 900 yen and the contents are still a mystery.

The running assumption (read as: unfounded fangirl desire) at the moment is that this release might serve as a more well-defined epilogue for the series that elaborates on what chapter 558 left us with. What is more likely though is that this publication will be like previous special releases, a compilation label of chapter sinvolving the title. In this case, it’ll be Kagome and Inuyasha.

I will update this site as new information surfaces. Also, I am currently unsure if I will be able to scanlate this. I would certainly like to though.

So, will we finally get that fabled kiss? :D

Even if its just a manga special collection (as have been released before), that will be a wonderful resource! Plus those collections tend to be twice as long as a regular volume of the manga...:D

Suddenly I was all nostalgic for the manga again, and with a modicum of searching, I came across this link, which leads to a download of a color version of Chapter 558 (in Chinese). Apparently this was the collaboration of a few people from a message board, and it's absolutely wonderful!! Definitely a must for those of us who can't color manga for shit, LOL :)
