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!

  2. The Xros Wars manga could definitely use you, if you're interested in pursuing that as your next project.

  3. As much as I would love to do the Xros Wars manga, the raw provider (Xros Raws) is unfortunately not letting other groups use his raw scans, because another group designated by him is supposedly attempting to scanlate it. I'm perfectly fine with his decision, so please don't rail on him about it too much.

    1. I fully respect his decision, but I suggested it to you in the first place because this designated group hasn't even mentioned the Xros Wars manga since February and has made no indication that they intend to see the project through, even ignoring an offer from another translator offering to help finalize the translations. I wouldn't mind waiting if I had any guarantee the scanslations would be happening eventually, but it doesn't look like they are right now. Oh well, guess we'll see what happens, yeah?

      Great job on this manga, by the way. This game looks lovely.

    2. I see...I've never kept track of the situation with the Xros Wars manga, so this is just recent news to me. Yeah, while it's rather unfortunate, there's not much I can really do but wait and see. I did send an email to Xros Raws saying I'd be happy to take over. I think I might have found the group in question, though I'm not 100% positive if it is; I'll try and send an email to the group just to get their 2 cents if I can, but I want to stay out of drama (over who's doing what) as much as possible.

      By the way, thanks for your support. I'm glad you enjoy it.

    3. The group is called OZC Anime, just so you know for sure. There shouldn't be any "drama" starting up, I'm just concerned that the reason why we haven't had any Xros-related news from them in so long is because they need help they aren't getting, and I'd be interested in helping out with that in whatever way I can, even if all I could do would be to spread the word.

    4. Yeah, that's what I got. Anyway, I shot the group an email, just gotta wait and see from here.

    5. Great, I hope everything's alright with them.

    6. So Xros Raws just emailed me back, and said that the group found a translator to get things moving along. Hopefully releases will be out soon.

    7. That's excellent and reassuring news, thanks for digging.

      I hope you find a new project of your own that catches your interest.

  4. Well, if you ever want help with cleaning up the scans and typesetting, I could offer some help. I've only worked on the Pokemon Special manga back before those Singaporean scans started coming out of the wood works, but I did some decent work at the time.

  5. I really love Suzuhito Yasuda for making those characters ,,his style is stunning and unique.
    one funny thing that his SMT:Devil Survivor Hero and this "Hero" looks the same ^^.
