hey guys. Here's a manga I scanned. I had a couple of partners that were going to help me touch up and translate it, but they bailed. If someone else is serious about doing what they wanted to do, I'm willing to send the original bitmaps, though those aren't of too much higher quality than these jpegs, and they are 1.7 gigs...suffice to say, you'll need to prove to me you're serious before I'll spend that much time uploading them.
In any case, hopefully someone will enjoy these raws.

If you decide to do one or two panels of cleanup, It would make the most difference if you could combine and clean up either one/some of the color pages or the two page fold I posted. those are the most important pages. if you decide not to, thanks for the bump, at least.

Right. Canada.

in any case, I'm pretty sure this is safe in the US at least as I bought it in a US store. (uwajimaya's...I think the price is still on there...)

I bet I can fake a translation, the only hard part about doing that is trying to figure out the jokes. Half of the dialog in these are just "Aaaaaah" "AAAaaaaah" and it's really easy to spot that one symbol being stretched over and over, the rest is basically just stuff like "fuck me harder" and sex talk like that.

Why do I keep hearing this crap? Lolicon is no more illegal in Canada than it is in the United States. They are used in both countries only to compound charges of CP possession. That's it.

Convert them to PNG. You won't lose any quality, since PNG is lossless, but but it should cut the filesize nearly in half.

If you actually look at the manga you would notice that there is no sex, just light ecchi, and that it's extremely dialog heavy.

WRONG, it is illegal, moron.

On 30 April 2003, President George W. Bush signed into law the PROTECT Act of 2003 (also dubbed the Amber Alert Law) [33] which again criminalizes all forms of pornography that shows people under the age of 18 regardless of production. The Act introduced 18 U.S.C. 1466A "Obscene visual representations of the sexual abuse of children", which criminalizes material that has "a visual depiction of any kind, including a drawing, cartoon, sculpture or painting, that "depicts a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct and is obscene" or "depicts an image that is, or appears to be, of a minor engaging in ... sexual intercourse ... and lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value" (the third test of the Miller Test obscenity determination).

According to the definitions provided in the United States v. Williams case, the term "indistinguishable" in terms of child pornography law does not apply to drawings or cartoons. That is, drawings or cartoons can still be child pornography even if it is clear that they are drawings or cartoons and not depictions of real children.

read the whole fucking article, dumbass.

"The Williams court held that although the content described in subsections (i) and (ii) is not constitutionally protected, speech that advertises or promotes such content does have the protection of the First Amendment. Accordingly, § 2252A(a)(3)(B) was held to be unconstitutionally overbroad. The Eleventh Circuit further held that the law was unconstitutionally vague, in that it did not adequately and specifically describe what sort of speech was criminally actionable."

Short version: once again, another unconstitutional law was put before a court, and struck down. See also: every other time similar laws got to court.

or, for extra fun, check out the actual fucking ruling.

At least that's the law in the states within the Eleventh Circuit (Alabama, Florida, and Georgia).
If I remember correctly, federal circuit (appellate) courts can have different and even conflicting interpretations of the same federal law and their decisions only apply within their circuit jurisdiction. Other circuits are not bound by their decisions. On the other hand, if the US Supreme Court ruled on this, that ruling MUST be honored by all branches of the federal courts (and the appropriate state courts if the state law is identical).
I would have to dust off my constitutional interpretation books to look it up and I don't want to do so at this time.
Perhaps the 11th Circuit was also restraining pornography prosecution as there was so much real child pornography out there to be prosecuted and that these inane cartoons just didn't rise to the same level (depth) of reprehensibility as the real stuff. It's still eerie and gross, but that's my take on it.

err might you have a website that keeps track of progress on translation? Also, might I ask the name of this in English or Romanji at least?
