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!
