scanlations

[bop_radar]

Oh dear... what has happened to me... I've found a whole new way of wasting time at work/in life generally. Manga scanlations!! How did I not know about these?!

Memo to self: remember how if you don't LOOK at the pretty lights, you don't WANT to spend all your time with the pretty lights... (works for: TV, Internet, playstation and all the other things I would not be addicted to if I followed my own advice).

(sigh) How oh how will I wean myself off them in order to complete Semester Two...

'scanlations' are translations of manga using scans of the original japanese versions, with english text over the top. There are a number of groups that do scanlations (for fun - its an amateur thing) of manga series not yet released in English. See, http://www.sakura-crisis.net/translations/
where I've been reading Yami no Matsuei, and others...
