Uhh... the latest Jumbor chapter is still in typesetting. When it's done, it will be released. It just so happens, it won't be this weekend. Sorry.

But, we do have English Scanlations of the Kang Zeng Bang (reprint) volumes 7-8! Yay! Dit is going on a little break for a while. Which is cool. So, we won't have anymore English scanlations of these for a while. Probably start back up with Volume 9-10, in Sept. No, we aren't stopping, just on hait until Dit comes back to continue translating. If you can translate Japanese -> English, and want to help, e-mail me, and we can work something out.

Speaking of Volumes 9-10, Jezzy is working on scanning them. But since there won't be English scanlations, there is no real rush to get them scanned in and rushed over to Dit. So, yes, those will come at some point, just wait.

So yeah... I tricked you, when you see images you think "Yes, an update!" but today's was mostly just "please wait." Oh well. A brand new Manta's Bargain Bin tomorrow! Make sure to check that out!

We always suggest and support the purchasing of the Shaman King related products! To support this, I say head over to Shaman King Nation! A brand new weekly special in which I'll highlight all the best deals for the week! This includes websites, eBay, and Yahoo! Auctions Japan. So click on the link below:

Geez, do you honestly expect two new chapters every week? Well, at least we've made alot of progress on the series up to this point. So, for the next month, we'll be down to only one new chapter a week of Jumbor. Sad I know. But because of this, I get some time to work on some other SK-related stuff!

Also, you only got a couple hours left for some great Shaman King DVD deals! Check the news post below! Bid now!

Buying stuff is expensive. Money doesn't grow on trees, and isn't around to give us a blank check. Somebody... (*cough* *cough*) spent all of our Dolby Dollars. And some of us... (*cough* , *cough*) are a bit high maintenance. So, our local Mankin-Trad staff member, Jezzy, is cleaning out her closet full of treasures from Shaman King, and giving you the option to add them to your collection!

Official Japanese Shaman King DVDs:

DVD1
DVD2
DVD4
DVD6
DVD9

Starting bid at only $5 with shipping at $3, these are priced GREATLY lower than the original Japanese price! So, if you wanted to add something a little special to your collection of stuff, and help clean out Jezzy closet, that would be very good! Even I'm tempted to buy them, but I got some other things to buy (Drama CDs, reprint volumes... .etc). So, you know I always say it, but buying stuff to support the series is good. If you help Jezzy out, well, then, she'll buy some more!

Welcome back! For those looking at only external manga release record sites, you might have thought we've died or something! But that's not true! We've had alot of releases, which aren't exactly manga scanlations (since we ran out of Shaman King ones!), but we have other Shaman King related stuff! So, go back through some of these older news posts and check those out! More will be coming soon! And Chapter 6 will be out next weekend! But, we'll have a partial release coming up before then (from KZB)!

It was just like a few days ago where we had Jumbor updates! Because of my eye, I wanted to make one little change to the original translation. Now the other Takei series reference is much clearer. Hopefully you pick up on it! With great images like this, it kinda makes me wish I was slower with the SK scanlations, since I'd have some awesome credits pages.

And as a random un-official poll, should I do some more "Mankin-Trad originals", relating to KZB? Shout in the the comments in favor or not, since I don't want to make this news post longer!

Make sure to check out our other releases if you haven't been here in a few days!

So, big news. "Fox" joins the team! She'll be helping out with these Jumbor chapters so I can go back to saving the world or something. I'll still be QC-ing, so you aren't out of the woods yet with my witty Credits page remarks. Oh, but there isn't anything really funny in these two. At least, I didn't try.

So, I figured we've been releasing things for a while now. We must have hit a milestone by now or something, right? I say sure! But it depends on how you count the numbers. You can consider these chapters right here "Mankin-Trad's 99th and 100th releases!" But what do you count as a "release?" Certainly the SK manga counts. But what about the end of Volume specials? What about Man.Ji.En? And if you count Man.Ji.En, then shouldn't you count the Shaman Files? But would you count the Japanese raws? And then where would place Stan Lee the Book? Then what about the old French releases? And would these re-releases really count as a new release? Then what about the Shaman King volume batch releases?

See, that's a mess. Bah. I say it's 99 and 100. Nice numbers, we'll move on from here!

Next weekend is the real test to see if I can keep "Summer of Jumbor" on time. Chapter 3 was a real pain with all those double pages, but Chapter 4 gives it a run for it's money. Look forward to it!

Before we jump into 2 more Jumbor chapters, let's have some more Kang Zeng Bang raws! Yup, all Japanese again, but English translations should hopefully come in a little while. But first we need to get scanlations of volumes 5 and 6 out first! Don't worry, they are still being worked on. They'll be coming soon.

So, who is Shaman File 99? Who is 100? Who has "O.S. THAT?" Some more discussion about pins? Who are Kyo and Shu? Find out some of these answers in today's release (if you know Japanese...)!

Oh, and if you know Japanese and want to help us translate these extras faster, give andysislands an e-mail! Thanks!
