Yeah, my first thought when I saw that was "But Negima is in Shounen Sunday isn't it? Will it be affected?"

I'm assuming that it won't affect Negima too much.

Crap. Then I have to get that quote to the relevant threads immediately. They would want to know it, just in case it does manage to affect the influx of those series' raws.

My best bet is it'll end the same way it always ends when they announce they'll get serious with scanlations from now on- All sound and fury for a while, then back to the status quo.

Either that, or overseas fandom will shrink down a lot. Because, and I don't know when they will get it, a large part of those series' international promotion comes from scanlation distribution. They are just going to shoot themselves on the foot again.

Well its not like a company has never done that before </sarc>

But yeah, I hope this is more aimed at people publicly posting raws (which I actually agree shouldn't happen - find someone in japan to privately send them to you, or just have it shipped out of the country for scanlation).

These kinds of things tend to crop up from time to time, and none of them really last for very long. At worst, we'll have trouble getting spoiler pics for a while.

Accidentally copy/pasted remark from other thread.

Fixed. Is now the remark that was supposed to be in this thread.

Other thread in question was in the "image picking" forum for Rule of Sexy.

This is what I get for having like 7 different topics open at the same time.

Heh, the only reason I don't do the same is that I'm currently stuck with an ageing laptop that has miraculously weathered 5 years of "abuse" at my hands. One lesson I learned is that laptops are not meant to be treated as desktops in terms of daily operation quota.

I'm on a laptop too, although it's relatively new pretty old by computer standards (got it the summer of '07). I'm planning on getting a new one this summer.

And just so my post has something to do with Negima:

Negima is in Shonen Magazine, by the way, not Shonen Sunday. That's the one with Hayate The Combat Butler, Kekkaishi, Detective Conan, RIN-NE, MAJOR, Kenichi The Mightiest Disciple, and Zettai Karen Children.

Shonen Magazine, in addition to Negima, has Air Gear, Fairy Tail, Hajime No Ippo, Flunk Punk Rumble, GE-Good Ending, and Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei.

Jump, of course, has the Big Three, plus Bakuman, Gintama, Hunter X Hunter, and Katekyo Hitman Reborn.

None of these lists, of course, are comprehensive.

How many other series would sound great if you described them without mentioning they were manga?

Try Bleach. Never before have so many awesome ideas been executed so lazily.

@Japanese Teeth: If you know the original artist, tell them that they get an 11 out of 10 for that pic, just for the "Library Maids" factor. cool

@Raven Wilder: To each their own... Or however that saying goes.

EDIT: Hey, I got the 1414th post! What do you call such a number with an even amount of digits that can be divided into two identical halves?

I have to say I'm looking forward to Ayaka getting clued in. If she finds out even a quarter of what Ala Alba has gone through, she's going to hit the roof. Magical World beware, a teenage millionaire (billionaire?) is about to find out you put her surrogate little brother/crush, best friend and several classmates and other friends through the metaphorical meat grinder.

Not to mention when she finds out the pactio system and how many Negi has.

^ I fear for Negi's ministra if she ever finds out. Though I'd love to read it. I bet she and Chamo suddenly become great friends.

the pronoun system in Cherokee is just better. Need Scion GM.

It HAS been cruel from Akamatsu to first reduce Ayaka from one of the nearly main characters from the first volumes and Asuna's true rival to Comic Relief of near Butt-Monkey status, and now Putting her on a Bus.

He'd better make up for it later, or I'll be forced to issue several usual Internet Shallow Threats.

You want awesome!Ayaka? See how she dealt with Takane when the latter walks in on Asuna bathing/showering Negi in Educating Ayaka by "Ambrant Arandel" - after a Crowning Moment Of Heartwarming or two in chapters 2 and 3.

Either way, Haruna and Asakura had better run for their lives. I'm pretty sure their Pactios were done without Negi's express permission. Mount Ayaka erupting in T minus X chapters...

@Raven Wilder: Well, there are certainly awesome ideas in it, and I personally don't see a problem with the execution IMO.

Is that the one where Mana says, "The acceptable way" menacingly and then Takane gets the hell outta Dodge?

I LO Led at that.

EDIT: Well, technically, Chisame's pactio was done without Negi's consent either.

^^^¨The fanfic chapter, or the Chisame pactio chapter? If the former, I quote...

"An ominous click was heard throughout the baths as Mana pulled out her 9mm handgun and set it with her bathing supplies. "An acceptable one." The dark skinned girl whispered menacingly.

Takane gulped and was visibly taken aback. "There's no way that this could be acceptable to the entire class.

"Well let's see, they're all here." Ayaka noted. Asuna looked around to see everyone getting undressed. "Alright girls, this is the moment. If any of you has a problem with Negi-sensei bathing with us, then you need to say it now."

Asuna looked around at her classmates. A lot had changed since Negi had first come to be their teacher. She knew not all the girls were in love with Negi; surely at least one of them was going to have a problem with this arrangement.

No hands were raised as many of the girls continued stripping and even had a seat next to Negi as he was being bathed by Mana.

"It's just like bathing with my little brother." Makie giggled as she walked past in the buff as well.

Asuna looked at Chisame who was usually the most vocal about her dissent in these cases, but the girl only looked down quietly with a blush on her face. "It's not a problem for you either?"

"What of it?" Chisame growled gruffly, turning away. Asuna smiled at the girl's stubborn refusal to admit she liked Negi too.

"Well then Takane." Ayaka said informally rounding on the girl and crossing her arms. "Since this has been Negi's scheduled bathing time for quite a while, would you like to explain what you were doing here?"

Takane looked like a frightened dear getting confronted with a pack of hungry she wolves as Kaede, Setsuna, and Ku Fei chose that moment to nonchalantly gather behind Ayaka with dangerous glints in their eyes. "Umm, just leaving…"".

If the latter, Chisame kissed Negi when he was coming back into consciousness when they needed an Internet related pactio to fight Chachamaru. Haruna practically forced her to do it, pushing Ayaka and Makie out of the room with an excuse as well.
