Happy ASB Release Day! - Volume 43 v2

Wahey just about made it!














Thanks so much for waiting you lot, we're still getting there gradually - there's a massive three whole volumes still to go and that'll be it! In the meantime I'm properly looking forward to getting absolutely trashed online, it sounds like people have managed to break the game already so I'm fully expecting mass online raging for a while. Bwahaa~

  2. Good job you guys! You're almost there.

    This is my first time reading part 4, and the wait is actually nice. There will be less time spent waiting on part 8 chapters!

  4. YAY! Thanks. I'm a recent reader, but will gladly follow thru Part 4 to the end with your translation. It's really good. And thankfully there's not much left :)

  5. Thanks for the new volume! Your translation has really made Part 4 more enjoyable. I finished it up last week, but now I'm reading through the Duwang versions again, and I'll happily re-read every new volume you guys put out.

  6. PLEASE continue to sub Part 4! I'm on Part 4 and it's my favorite part so far, and Josuke is my favorite Jojo. I'm up to 43 I REFUSE to end on Duwang. If I have to wait for you guys to finish Part4, I will.

  9. I think you guys kind of missed the nuance of Yuuya's lines on pages 186-7

    Original Japanese:
    これがもし!
    「紙」にされたのがもし!
    バカだけどよォー、 おれをいつも元気づけてくれるあの女どもだったらと思うと
    あの女どもの誰かだったらと思うと
    てめーおれだってそうしたぜ!

    Your translation:
    All because of a maybe!
    Because maybe he was that paper!
    Yeah, it's dumb, but when I think about those girls...
    ... And I think about how they see me...
    Then I know I gotta fight too!

    My translation:
    But maybe!
    Maybe, if someone else were in that paper!
    They're not too smart, but if I think of those girls who always come to cheer me up,
    If any one of them were in that paper,
    I'd do the same thing!

    1. Yes you are 100% correct sorry

      kami ni saretano ga ... ano onnadomo dattara

      I got confused by the multiple clauses of separation between that particle and its target.

      When I'm not sick I'll clean up that page and some other stuff and we can upload a v2

    2. These are probably the most pristine scans in the whole eight parts. Your work is highly appreciated. I hesitate to ask for the first two volumes of part IV to be re-scanned in this quality.

    3. I definitely want to get 29 done just to start the series in the highest possible quality, not sure about 30 yet.

      Check it out actually, this badboy just turned up on yahoo auction (more colour pages *drool*); been looking for these for ages.

  10. Awesome work! But isn't Toyohiro's name "Kanedaichi Toyohiro"(鋼田一 豊大(かねだいち とよひろ)) according to the Japanese wiki, rather than "Kaneda Ichitoyohiro" as in Duwang?

    Keep up the awesome work! You're almost at the end!

    1. He's only referred to by full name in the comic text, and no part of the name except "Toyohiro" is or sounds like a real name. But yeah I see some people online calling him 鋼田一 so I guess that's supposed to be his family name? I'll fix it in the same pass as the correction above.

  11. 3 volumes to go? If I recall correctly, three chapters of Part 4 bleed into volume 47 as well. I trust you'll be doing those as well?

    1. You serious? As far as I know the guy retranslating Part 5 hasn't done those last three chaoters of Part 4, he just skipped straight to Vento Aureo. Dos this mean the last chapters of Diamond Is Not Crash will remain forever Duwangified?

    2. Sorry I sometimes confuse my languages and speak in sarcasm. I did say three volumes, I just meant approximately three that's all.

  12. Just put up a version 2 of this volume, it covers the translational nuance as covered by the anons above as well as a handful of misc typeset errors.

    1. Just check mangatraders or torrents dude, there's always somewhere that'll have them. Isn't it proper weird that only part 2's been pulled though, Viz is seriously considerate.

  16. Hi there,
    Thank you so much for your hard work, you guys ^^
    Btw, if you need help editing or cleaning I'd love to give you a hand, just contact me at my journal ^^

    1. Alright, will do. But we've had a whole lot of editors pulling out after under-estimating how much time it takes to work this series - so keep that in mind if you're thinking of applying.

      Delete
    2. Yes, I know how hard it'll be. I been editing Shin Tekken Chinmi and it's a lot a of work to do for each chap. But with such a great manga that it's partIV (of my favs), it'll be more pleasant to work with ^u^

    3. I've sent a couple messages to your google profile but it'll be far easier just mailing; get in touch at tomcorbett_32@hotmail.com instead.

  17. When will the next volume come out?

    1. I've been very busy last month and sick all this month. So the script isn't ready yet. (I've not yet read the Cheap Trick chapters). Cleaning is well underway so once there's a complete script it should only take another 2 weeks to typeset and QC. So, probably sometime next month, definitely not the next 2-3 weeks.

  18. When should we expect the next volume?

    1. Since the previous time this was asked I've done the entire script except for a few small handwritten sections and the 2-page relationship map, which I'll do this weekend. The text needs to be edited. Cleaning is close to done so typesetting will probably begin within the week. My estimate for a complete release is "by Thanksgiving".

    2. Hey I just wanted to say that The Invincible Trio is one of the main reasons why part 4 has been my favourite part of Jojo so far. As much as we all enjoy Duwang, I can't bring myself to finish one of my favourite manga series that way, so I'm really looking forward to the next volume release from you guys! I'm sure I'm not the only one who is waiting for this release to be able to continue enjoying JJBA so thank you for all the hard work and please keep us posted on when we can enjoy the next volume!

      Thanks,

      anon
