It's fine work.

It'll frighten Mrs. Grundy. You just watch.

And it is, I suppose, technically speaking, a copyright violation, although there are no authorized Japanese translations, as yet, that one might be infringing upon.

Remind me to try that out on the MPAA when they come after me for overdubbing the latest Hollywood effort in Japanese and releasing it online.

Digitizing comic books and similar items (manga) has resulted in a bunch of image files, typically compressed into one zip/rar file. When the files are renamed to comic book format (zip files or rar files renamed to .cbz and .cbr), then you can use specialized sequential image viewing software.. All platforms have a viewer for these files.

If you download and install CDisplay or CDisplayEX (Windows), Comical (Mac), or Comix (Linux), install, and rename the extension on the file, you can flip through images much faster.

FYI, be sure to set it on "Fit if oversize". Much easier to read.

It really upsets me to see people being 'okay' with scanslating. Look - the original manga is about 4-6$, less than 10$ after shipping, from any number of online sellers (Kinokuniya, Sasuga) - if you are going to steal someone's work, at least pay them for it. Remember that manga isn't a faceless conglomerate like an RIAA work - the guy writing it is just one guy, and maybe an assistant or two (that he pays). He gets paid by each comic that is bought.

If you think something like this is that good, maybe buy it, too? There's plenty of free things on the internet to read - going out of your way to choose something that someone made to make a living - and then not supporting them - that seems disingenuous to me.
