Release 09: Shin Megami Tensei Devil Survivor Chapter 7



Happy holidays!

Also, fanservice.
Also, day 2 begins.
Also, more character introductions.

Just a reminder, Devil Survivor was on break this past issue, so there will be no new chapter release until the new year (hopefully).

Release 08: Shin Megami Tensei Devil Survivor Chapter 6



Whew, managed to get this done before Thanksgiving.

I just noticed now that Yuzu's last name is "Tanikawa", not "Tanigawa." Woops. Not that it makes a huge difference, but yeah, maybe if this gets a volume release, I'll fix the first two chapters. Also changed. Also changed "blockade" to "barricade" since it sounds a bit better. Again, a volume release will probably fix that.

Anyways, we (finally) get some new characters! See you next month!

Where is Devil Survivor Chapter 5? [UPDATE]

UPDATE 10/19/12 - The RAWs have finally been uploaded!
Work to be started ASAP. 

So most of you have probably figured out that it's been a little over a month since the last release, and about 3 weeks since this month's issue release and there's still no sign of a new Devil Survivor chapter. What's going on?

Simply put: no one has scanned and uploaded the magazine RAW chapter for Chapter 5. Well, OK, maybe someone has somewhere in the depths of the Japanese interwebs and it just hasn't come to light yet. But to be honest, right now, I don't have the chapter on me. I have searched high and low to no avail. Without the chapter, I can't do anything at this point. Unfortunately, I am not one of those people that import it out from Japan either. And even I wanted to, I have no scanner on me either...and I'd probably do a horrible job at it, too. None of the sources I usually go to have the chapter (or the November issue) on them. I don't know why, and I don't know when it will be eventually be uploaded (they probably don't know either, please don't pester them). It may happen once the next issue (December) comes out in 10 days, sometime in the near future, or possibly never, and you may have to wait until the book volume gets released.

I'll gladly do Chapter 5 once it gets uploaded, but for now, it might get skipped over if Chapter 6 is released. Considering it IS a game adaptation you can probably guess what happens (it hasn't been cancelled at this point, so most likely the trio essentially gave the middle finger to the Laplace Mail) but yeah, sorry guys. Hopefully the same thing won't happen for chapter 6.

tl;dr - No chapter 5 raw = no chapter 5 scanlation.

Release 06: Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Chapter 4



Yuzu can't stop whining. Naoya comes back from the dead (again). Kazuya constantly gets trolled.

Somewhat thankful it's a slightly shorter chapter this month, as I've gotten much more busier now.
See you next month!

Release 05: Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Chapter 3


So we're now into Day 1. Next issue doesn't comes out till August 25. It might take a little more longer than usual to release since I'll actually be busy around that time, but I have like a month, right? I appreciate those that want to help out, but I think I'm fine at the moment working by myself. Devil Survivor will probably be my only project at this point anyway, so I don't get overloaded and stuff. Unless there's like something small I can find.

Release 04: Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Chapter 2



I don't feel like saying much. Work went along faster than I thought. Thanks /vg/ for spreading the word btw. Naoya trolls us some more. Yuzu freaks out as usual. Yay, demons! The Day Before is starting to wrap up, and I believe we'll get a start to the 1st Day next chapter, which I'll be starting right away. The manga does start to deviate a little from the game, but it's still anybody's guess at this point as to what path the protagonist / Kazuya will take. Enjoy!

EDIT: I just found a translation goof. Guess that's what you get for doing a one-man project. Here's the fixed v2. For the 8 people that just downloaded the original one, sorry about that.

Release 03: Digimon World Re:Digitize Chapter 2

A Bored Tamer brings you the concluding chapter of the manga series adaptation of the Digimon video game heard around the world!
(bleh, it's late. i can't think of anything funny.)

Here it is, folks. Yes, there are only two chapters of this, as this serves mainly as a prologue to the PSP game. For those who have the game already or are watching the YouTube LPs...you know what happens next.

Special thanks again to Xros Raws for providing the raws and onkeikun for doing the translation. I also was not expecting that it would become this popular when I first decided to do this project, so thanks again to all the fans, from 4chan to the reddit subscribers on /r/digimon and everyone in between, for giving me the motivation to do this short (but fun) project. (Yes, I do check where the heck all my traffic is coming from :P)

At the moment, this will probably be the last Digimon-related project I'll be doing for now. I may find random stuff here and there to do, but I don't plan on participating in the English translation project of the PSP game or subbing the YouTube LPs. As much I would love to do the Digimon Xros Wars manga, the raw provider will not let other groups aside a certain group scanlate it. Regarding the status of how that's going along, your guess is just as good as mine; I've already tried contacting the group leader to no avail. If any of the project members are reading this, I would love to help in any way possible, so please don't be afraid to give me a holler.

Anyway, have fun reading the final chapter of the Re:Digitize manga! Enjoy!

Release 02: Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Chapter 1

A Bored Tamer brings out a new project and his second release, the first chapter of the "Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor" manga!



Whew, this was a crazy one, as the amount of pages in this one was nearly double that of Re:Digitize, but I managed to finish it somehow. The .png version came out to about 112MB total, a pretty hefty size for one chapter, so I've converted it down to .jpg to put it on par with a normal chapter size. Speaking of Re:Digitize, I have already gotten pre-approval from Xros Raws to use his raws, and from onkeikun, whose translation will be used and released on Digital Scratch the same time the second chapter is scanlated. I believe the latest issue has just been released over in Japan, but it will take some time for Xros Raws to get it and scan the raws, so please be patient and be sure to check the Project Status for any updates.

I'd also like to mention that while I know some Japanese, it unfortunately isn't enough to translate an entire chapter. As a result, my personal "translation" consists mostly of throwing it into Google Translate & WWWJDIC and English-ifying the results. It isn't 100% perfect, but for the most part, what's being said is generally accurate, albeit a few sentence wordings here and there. However seeing as it is a manga adaptation of a video game, some of the dialogue in the game and the manga are basically the same. Some of the translation has partially been taken from the official English adaptation done by Atlus, mainly to ensure the dialogue is nearly accurate and also to save time trying to figure it out myself. Credits have been given in its respective page, as I don't intend to intentionally plagiarize anytime soon. Hopefully, I don't get too much flak for this.

There is a lone shot of a guy's body partially eaten by a monster that occurs on page 28. While it isn't extremely gory in my opinion, a bit of viewer discretion is advised.

As for my mini-disclaimer, I don't own the Devil Survivor / Shin Megami Tensei series or Monthly Shounen Sirius, Atlus and Kodansha do. This is a free scanlation done by a SMT:DS fan for any interested fans, not for any commercial means. Please support Atlus by buying the games for the Nintendo DS & 3DS, because Atlus is awesome. And so is the Devil Survivor series.

Anyway, enjoy another series with character designs done by Suzuhito Yasuda!

Release 01: Digimon World Re:Digitize Chapter 1

A Bored Tamer brings you his first release, chapter 1 of the "Digimon World Re:Digitize" manga!




This is my first time actually scanlating and releasing something ever, so please don't be too harsh on it. While it isn't one of those "Throw-it-into-Paint-and-use-the-eraser-to-delete-text-while-never-leveling-it" types, I tried my very best to give the best possible quality scanlation I could. This is a solo project, so I don't have any other "staff members" with me to double check things and whatnot.

Special thanks to onkeikun @ Digital Splash and Xros Raws for giving me permission to use their translation and raw respectively. Please to go them for any questions regarding translation and raw usage. I also want to give a shout out to Suzuhito Yasuda for making the most awesome character designs ever (he also did the character designs for Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor, which is why I instantly fell in love with Re:Digitize the minute I saw the first pictures).

Lastly, as a mini-disclaimer, I don't own the Digimon series or V-Jump, Namco / Bandai, Shueisha, and Akiyoshi Hongou do. This was a free scanlation done by Digimon fans, for Digimon fans, not for any commercial purposes. Please support the series as much as you can (whether it means importing this game from Japan or begging kindly asking Bandai / Namco Games for an international release.) I don't mind if this is uploaded to free online manga reading sites, just so long as the credits page is kept. 


Anyway, I know you're probably itching to read it, so here are the download links! Enjoy!
