"Don't cry so shamefully. Crying won't change a thing. The world is not kind to anyone"

"As long as they don't know the truth, everyone is always praising me on how wonderful they are."

"As far as society idiots are concerned, there's no such thing as success without sacrifice."

"Things once lost can never be recovered"

`One Manga closes- the tears, the joy and the drama

Alright, you've heard or read about the announcement haven't you? (since I posted this quite late)

"There is an end to everything, to good things as well."

It pains me to announce that this is the last week of manga reading on One Manga (!!). Manga publishers have recently changed their stance on manga scanlations and made it clear that they no longer approve of it. We have decided to abide by their wishes, and remove all manga content (regardless of licensing status) from the site. The removal of content will happen gradually (so you can at least finish some of the outstanding reading you have), but we expect all content to be gone by early next week (RIP OM July 2010).

So what next? We're not really sure at this point, but we have some ideas we would like to try out. Until then, the One Manga forums will remain active and we encourage all of you to continue using them. OMF has developed into a great community and it would be a shame to see that disappear.

Some jumped at the thought that this manga piracy is finally countered against some are bawling their eyes out as they can no longer enjoy scans online.

Face it, for most of the non-Japanese speaking population, it literally spells "DEATH" for us. Most of us have been watching subbed videos or even RAW videos that are uploaded by fellow fans. We have been reading scanlations uploaded by sub groups.

"This is our right! We are helping to increase its popularity by promoting it online."

Sure this may be the argument but it can be popular but will the authors/mangakas earn any royalties from online scanlations?

And the producers/seiyuus/and-the-many-people-who-worked-so-hard-in-this?

(alright, alright, i have a feeling that people are going to stab me now, since I do translation and all >.<)

However, if you look at this the other way, if someone sees some scanlations online, loves it and buys the mangas/DVD/merchandise, they would then contribute to the industry, wouldn't they? In this case, scanlations = GOOD

But if they are just reading it without contributing to the production team's hard work, then scanlations = BAD

We can't control who is reading but we trust that everyone will do their part to support. It's quite contradicting, really.

Remember, the Japanese have a reason to be angry. Afterall, as Gaijins (foreigners), we are not contributing to their economy by ripping their stuff online.

Scanlations, subs, good or bad? Only the statistics will tell

The email I sent to you was not replied
It could be due to 3 reasons, either I am busy, thus not being able to go online, the email was sent to junkbox or it simply wasn't delivered. If it is the former, I will try my best to reply as soon as possible, so please be patient! If you think it belongs to the latter 2 reasons, then please resend it again.

Is it alright for you to help me translate some materials?
I don't mind but I may be slow with the upcoming Kuroshitsuji episodes. I do know that my translation isn't perfect so please pardon me on that.

Sure, you may! But please note the following

Once again I must stressed that my translation is not perfect, it's merely a skeletal guide to the dialouges, before the subs are released. There is no editor for my translations and all these are done to provide all fans an inkling to the episode/manga/doujinshi. I try to keep the dialouges as close to the Japanese version as possible and hope that everyone reading can overlook the poor translations I've provided

♥ Tarot card of the week

Tarot card of the week

THE HANGED MAN

< font size=20 >Basic Card Symbols
A man hanging by one foot from a Tau cross - sometimes from a bar or tree. His free leg is always bent to form a "4," his face is always peaceful, never suffering. Sometimes his hands are bound, sometimes they dangle. Sometimes coins fall out of his pockets or hands.

Basic Tarot Story The Fool settles beneath a tree, intent on finding his spiritual self. There he stays for nine days, without eating, barely moving. People pass by him, animals, clouds, the wind, the rain, the stars, sun and moon. On the ninth day, with no conscious thought of why, he climbs a branch and dangles upside down like a child, giving up for a moment, all that he is, wants, knows or cares about. Coins fall from his pockets and as he gazes down on them - seeing them not as money but only as round bits of metal - everything suddenly changes perspective. It is as if he's hanging between the mundane world and the spiritual world, able to see both. It is a dazzling moment, dreamlike yet crystal clear. Connections he never understood before are made, mysteries are revealed. But timeless as this moment of clarity seems, he realizes that it will not last. Very soon, he must right himself, and when he does, things will be different. He will have to act on what he's learned. For now, however, he just hangs, weightless as if underwater, observing, absorbing, seeing.

Basic Tarot Meaning With Neptune (or Water) as its planet, the Hanged Man is perhaps the most fascinating card in the deck. It reflects the story of Odin who offered himself as a sacrifice in order to gain knowledge. Hanging from the world tree, wounded by a spear, given no bread or mead, he hung for nine days. On the last day, he saw on the ground runes that had fallen from the tree, understood their meaning, and, coming down, scooped them up for his own. All knowledge is to be found in these runes. The Hanged Man, in similar fashion, is a card about suspension, not life or death. This is a time of trial or meditation, selflessness, sacrifice, prophecy. The Querent stops resisting; instead he makes himself vulnerable, sacrifices his position or opposition, and in doing so, gains illumination. Answers that eluded him become clear, solutions to problems are found. He sees the world differently, has almost mystical insights. This card can also imply a time when everything just stands still, a time of rest and reflection before moving on. Things will continue on in a moment, but for now, they float, timeless. Thirteen's Observations Neptune is spirituality, dreams, psychic abilities, and the Hanged Man is afloat in these. He is also 12, the opposite of the World card, 21. With the World card you go infinitely out. With the Hanged Man, you go infinitely in. This card signifies a time of insight so deep that, for a moment, nothing but that insight exists. All Tarot readers have such moments when we see, with absolute clarity, the whole picture, the entire message offered by a spread. The Hanged Man symbolizes such moments of suspension between physical and mystical worlds. Such moments don't last, and they usually require some kind of sacrifice. Sacrifice of a belief or perspective, a wish, dream, hope, money, time or even selfhood. In order to gain, you must give. Sometimes you need to sacrifice cherished positions, open yourself to other truths, other perspectives in order to find solutions, in order to bring about change. One thing is certain, whether the insight is great or small, spiritual or mundane, once you have been the Hanged Man you never see things quite the same.
