sherryillkI found some raw Major scans. OH MY GOD. ALL OF THEM. Volumes 1-74.
I don't suppose anyone out there with good editing skills will like to join me in a joint Major scanlation project? It's ambitious and I know it probably will never happen unless I find a group out there who would be interested in taking this monster on so I think in the mean time, I'll just be reading it... I almost want to skip ahead to the end but...but...but... I don't want to spoil the anime. I want to take in the manga as it was written, with all the extra stuff that was cut out of the anime and...and...and...I just want to love Major the way it's supposed to be loved.
But damn, 74 volumes! Even if I were translating it, it would take me how long? At about 20 pages per chapter... When I was doing yaoi, I counted 8 pages a night, a good night. When I was doing shoujo, it was around 10-12 pages. This is probably more towards the shoujo since it's a shounen manga for a younger audience but I think it would still take years. I'm not even sure it's possible with one person trying to translate it. o.O
Yeah, maybe I should just stick with just trying to read it. After all, it'll only help my Japanese, right?
