Well, I'm sad to say the day is finally here... Acid Town has been licensed in English by Tokyopop, seemingly.

There's no official announcement yet other than a product page. To say I'm disappointed and anxious about this news is an understatement. I had been hoping for a company that I trusted more to pick up the license. But I'm not familiar with Tokyopop's recent work, I've just been told it's decent enough. I've been working on this series for over a decade so of course decent doesn't cut it with me.

To be fair I think it is about time that Acid Town got a solid redo in English. The early chapters by DP had a number of errors, and when I initially took over I was new to the whole hobby and the quality of both the scans and the translations aren't fantastic. I would love to see a nice, new, clean edition done of Acid Town without the quality inconsistencies, and with the updated artwork of the books.

My anxiety comes from not knowing who all will be working on this and what their goal is. I don't trust that a company like Tokyopop will take the time to do it right and not phone it in. I worry we'll end up with bad translations and lost context for some of the cultural aspects of the series. And I worry that Acid Town's lackluster, inconsistent release schedule will cause the company to drop the series long before it finishes.

I'm not sure why they chose to license Acid Town over any other of Kyuugou's completed and very popular series. Those seem like they would have been a better financial bet and slam dunk if the goal is to turn a profit. But Acid Town does have a small but dedicated fan base, so maybe the demands for an English release just got through after all this time. Or, maybe they accepted the series as a condition of another deal. I have no idea.

I do think fans should support any official release because it will support Sensei. I just know that I personally won't probably ever be satisfied with it and I'll probably be going over every panel here with a fine-toothed comb, so you can look forward to me being a neurotic psycho about it.

Our downloads page has not been consistently maintained and with the news of the English license I will be removing broken links and no longer promoting the downloads page. Right now we're not dropping the series, though. We'll see how things shake out.

"Город кислоты" от мангаки Кюго.

У меня есть 4 тома и как оказалось 5-й уже издан, а на японском языке вышло уже 7 томов (и выпуск всё ещё продолжается) Так что когда я соберу всю коллекцию даже не знаю 🤷 Но история мне определённо нравится.

В городе, где не существует правил и властвует беззаконие, Юки и его лучший друг Тецу пытаются проникнуть в офис Сейдокай, чтобы украсть денег в отчаянной попытке помочь младшему брату Юки, находящемуся в больнице. Попытка их не принесла успеха, и молодой лидер Сейдокай, Казутака Хьедо, предлагает Юки сделку, от которой тот не может отказаться: раз в неделю посещать его офис, взамен он оплачивает все больничные счета. Юки без оглядки принимает это соглашение и начинает выполнять свою часть договоренности, придя к Хьедо в назначенное время...

Hi there 👋 Just wanted to ask if there will be a chapter update for Hitsuji no Kawa wo Kita Kemono? I've been loving the series and wanted to know what happened next with Daichi and Tatsumi. I saw online that it's been almost a year since the last update. I do understand that you can't just hurry someone who scans and translate manga for free. Sorry if my question seems inappropriate

Hello! We've been on a bit of a hiatus. I had my daughter last March and have had basically no free time since then or been dealing with illness. So the scanlations have taken a back seat. But I've been continuing to pick up the latest chapters and bought volume 2 when it was released recently. I just can't say for sure when I'll have a new chapter done. I would love to bring on more staff so that the majority of the work isn't on me tbh.

Kyuugou-sensei is on hiatus as well dealing with another surgery, so we probably won't see more Acid Town chapters any time soon either.

Fandoms

By no means an exhaustive list (we're getting there) of everything I enjoy. Sometimes it's genuine "write 10k words" levels of brainrot. Sometimes it's just nostalgia (or my particular brand of trash). Either way I'm here to wear my influences on my sleeve and perhaps find other likeminded degenerates. ( ´ ◇ ` )ﾉ♡ Everything is listed in alphabetical order. ✧ Are my current obsessions (so long as I remember to update lmao). Parentheses contain my particular favorites from a set.
