Well, there's approximately 9000 pages of Violence Jack stories in total but yes, this particular story ends here.

Not all of it but two volumes were translated some time ago.

I haven't even scanned that yet. The dozens of different editions confuse the hell out of me and I don't know which to buy to get everything without buying the same stuff twice. I recently watched a fansub of the first 12 episodes of CUTIE HONEY TV and it was made of funky 70ies win and excessive weirdness lulz. However, experience has shown me that 70ies Go Nagai TV stuff is usually very different from his original manga - Devilman, Getter Robo, etc.

Violence Jack is kinda a sequel to Devilman.

You wouldn't really know that just from reading VIOLENCE JACK, though. And there's certainly no way to get it unless you have read all 5 volumes of DEVILMAN, which is a problem for most since only the first 2 books have been scanlated.

Nice OP.

This may be the best place to ask. How many different Cutey Honey manga series are there?
>> Anonymous
>>176608
I'm not the OP but I think it was only two volumes

There are 5 volumes of DEVILMAN if you don't count the 3 volumes of NEO DEVILMAN and the 6 volumes of AMON: DARKSIDE OF DEVILMAN and the 17 volumes of DEVILMAN LADY, which has Devilman/Akira as a supporting character.

he is talking about cutey honey not devilman. Neo devilman shouldn't be counted since it's just an anthology of various authors who love devilman. The main stream order is Devilman-Violence Jack- Devilman lady(Amon is shitsux). I think those three are the most important devilman related comics because in the end, all of them are about Akira and Ryo. Don't read on if you don't want major spoiler on something that you will never get a translation of(lol devilman lady).They fight in the original comic-they fight again in violence jack-then they finally join forces at the end of devilman lady and that's probably the end of devilman saga

see the two books on the top left corner? Yeah I was talking about those. Looking at the art style, I think that's the earliest version of Cutey Honey done by Nagai. I have no idea with other books though. But definitely done later because in other books the art looks more like recent nagai works. But yeah sorry for the wrong information

there are 3 main Honey manga:
the original Cutie Honey(also called CH'70 in recent editions)
Cutie Honey '90(sequel of CH'70)
and last Cutie Honey Legend from an Angel(also know as CH'21)

there is Lovely Angel, too, which I suppose is between CH'90 and CH'21 since Lovely appears in CH'21

CH'21 has been fully published in Italy few years ago.
Italians got 3 different editions of Devilman, the whole Amon+Strange Days and are currently busy completing Violence Jack and Devilman Lady.

in short: LOL, learn Italian!

Thanks for that info. Now at least I know where to start. In theory.

Good for you that Italy is getting all this Nagai. You happened to forget Italy also got Shuten Douji, Getter Robo and Devine Comedy... Makes me wonder why not a single person in all of Italy is willing to scanlate at least some of these. Are you really this selfish? :P

We need some Getter Robo here.

Volume 1 was translated. Sombody just needs to get cracking on those remaining 800 pages...

I'm not>>176706, but doing scanslation has nothing got to do with how selfish they are. Some people just don't want to waste their free time doing minor meaningless stuff. I'm so sick of people just sitting there saying "LOL BUMP FOR TRANSLATION!" If you like reading manga so much, then why don't you just learn the language yourself?
>> Anonymous
>>176824

If everybody would think like you then there wouldn't be a single scanlated manga or fansubbed anime or movie. But it's an interesting question anyway. Why the fuck are so many people wasting their free time doing minor meaningless crap like translating manga and anime for an audience of ungratefull anonymous asshats?

To practice for a professional job? To stir interest in something they like? To read a manga whenever they want without needing to look stuff up or ask someone to tell them? Because they feel like it? Because they're masochists?
>> Anonymous
>>176856

Those aren't answers, just guesses... You really have to wonder what motivates these people. I mean, there are actually translation groups FIGHTING drama-filled wars over who has the better translations for whatever popular anime series of the season. The mind boggles!

I've been working on translating the Mahoujin GuruGuru SNES game for the last 6 months, mostly in order to improve my Japanese skills and to have something constructive to do.
>> Anonymous
>>176863

That's interesting. I know that the guy who translated GETTER ROBO 1 also did it because he wanted to improve/test his Japanese skills. This might be the way it normally is. For some reason I doubt that someone who is already fluent in Japanese would decide to translate a manga for anonymous strangers. The same is probably true for people in Italy, France, Spain or where ever who all have a vast number of manga available in their native language that are unavailable in English. There is absolutely no reason for them to translate them, though, so they don't.

MAJOR THANKS to you and other people who answered me. Just one more quick question. Are those two at the top that say 70s and 90s, are those different than the others posted or are they just older editions repacked and reformatted?

I'm>>176824. The thing is that I actually used to translate tons of stuff in the past. However, I kinda started to lose interest and am tired of ungrateful anonymous. Why waste time when I get no shit in return?

Surely you have downloaded and enjoyed a translation or fansub in the past?
>> Anonymous
>>176957

It features the same protagonist and was done over 20 years later than the other chapters you mention so the artist's style is pretty different. Since most VJ stories are stand alone (except for the entire arc with Slumking) continuity isn't an issue. You could read this one before or after EVIL TOWN, for example.

The RAWs also required scanning. Someone had to buy the book, tear it up and scan it so you could download it.

Only Cutey Honey I've ever seen was the OVA's produced in the early 90's. I did get ahold of a couple of the untranslated manga around 6 years ago. I can't read them so I don't know what it's really called.

I'm sure Akira was in Cutey Honey too, he was in one of the anime's. He never changed into devilman but he called himself Akira. In the anime he told Honey something along the lines of we're going to have to fight eventually.

Yeah, all of Go Nagai's stories take place in the same ridiculously contradictional universe. The same characters keep appearing in all his stories. I think EVERY important character he ever created makes an appearance during the 9000 pages of Violence Jack, including friggin Kekkou Kamen.
