Hey there. Thermae Romae was finally scanned, so I'll be dumping it for those who are unaware (and possibly never even read before). Got a few OVA episodes.
>When Roman architect Lucius is criticized for his "outdated" thermae designs, he retreats to the local bath to collect his thoughts. All Lucius wants is to recapture the Rome of earlier days, when one could enjoy a relaxing bath without the pressure of merchants and roughhousing patrons. Slipping deeper into the warm water, Lucius is suddenly caught in the suction and dragged through the drainage at the bottom of the bath! He emerges coughing and sputtering amid a group of strange-looking foreigners with the most peculiar bathhouse customs...over 1,500 years in the future in modern-day Japan! His contemporaries wanted him to modernize, and so, borrowing the customs of these mysterious bath-loving people, Lucius opens what quickly becomes the most popular new bathhouse in Rome-Thermae Romae!
The author has an adaptation of Steve Jobs' biography in serialization as well. You can find scans of that online if you're interested.
Because of moot's 60 second bullshit, dumping all 1200 pages of this would take me like 20 hours, and each volume will take 1 1/2 threads. I'll post as much as I can. You can get the scans from kitty's blog/ftp.
kitty's blog / the ftp*
v2 and v3 are being uploaded.
American publishers don't give a fuck that their publications got scanned?
In other news, a Macross Frontier doujinshi by Dowman Sayman was translated by a kind OKTF.
>>112043925
Obviously, they do. If you like it, buy it, etc. The Thermae Romae releases were pretty nice, but large hardcovers will run you $20 each.
>>112044033
I meant in a way that how the hell their blogs are still not C&Ded after so much manga scanned. This makes me paranoid, so I archive almost everything they do. And I never mention where I get these scans in fear that it'll get more popular and thus get more attention.
>>112043983
I hope he'll get a spot in some other magazine. Can't believe Nickelodeon and Voynich are ending.
>>112044113
Voynich is ending?
>>112044113
Yeah, Dowman's two primary serializations ending so close to each other is pretty disappointing. Especially Nick, an anthology of oneshots by an artist known for oneshots. He said he has plans for a new serialization next year, though, so that's nice. He still has irregular serializations (Oddman 11, Ayame, Suicide Parabellum). He also has a new oneshot out with his current doujinshi circle, but I haven't bought it yet.
As for the blog, no idea. Just keep it on the downlow, but KTK seems fairly well-known by now. Hopefully they keep backups - I might start archiving it myself just in case. I think most of it can be found on BakaBT, though. Keep circulating those torrents.
>>112043701
kitty's blog gets too many hits on google, could you be more specific?
Finally, I've been waiting for the last volume to get scanned. Also fuck moot for post timers, shitposting sure decreased right.
>>112044221
OH SHI
V3 is finally scanned?
fuck year, now i can finish this glorious manga even when it seems to bejust wrapping up the love story thing
>>112044945
Please don't tell me that is all.
>Mfw I was half expecting him to show up in a female onsen. Then wacky antics.
Still great tho.
Whenever I see this manga it makes me play Ceasar
>>112045222
Sim games are best games. I've been leaning more towards grand strategy lately, though.
>>112045251
Grand Strategy is great too but It doesn't give me the satisfaction of building your own city and looking at it as it grows bigger and bigger.
Also try Phroah too If you haven't already
I would like to dump Mizuki Shigeru sometime soon as well, but so little of his stuff is translated. Guess I can post Street of Mysteries.
>>112045295
Pharaoh was years ago for me, but I should replay it.
Holy crap, this is amazing. I've been waiting for scans for a while. A local Kinokuniya has them but they're really fucking pricey.
>>112045222
Whenever I see this manga it reminds me of Hyouge Mono, because tea and bath are wonderful together.
Scanlation fucking never.
>>112045484
;_; Maybe someday. I might just commission the chapter that covers the last episode someday.
>>112045484
;_; Never lose hope friend
Fucking beautiful scans. Ty OP
Is it true that the US version released the two volume of japanese edition as a single volume?
>>112045560
I'd clean and typeset and shit if we actually had a dedicated translator. But these are rare animal in this place.
>>112045593
My hope was that it would become popular and we get some scanlation ongoing. But we all remember how it ended. Man, those rare threads about new episode subbed by Doremi was one of most happiest times I had here.
>>112045750
Yes, each US volume has two of the original Japanese volumes in it. There are 6 Japanese volumes in total, and 3 US ones.
>>112045750
Yes.
>>112045752
Hyouge Mono fans are cool. Surprised it even got 3k downloads per episode.
>>112045609
>yaranaika
>>112045878
This page is fucking gold, all of it.
>>112045784
3k? Aw shit. I only remember that there were at best 200-300 leechers per episode.
>>112046007
Oh god he's gonna learn about the future of exfoliating.
There were some additional OVAs, like learning about the wonders of an iPhone, but I haven't seen those.
>>112045761
>Monkey came back with him.
>Just fuckin chillin.
This is great. I want more.
I've never heard of this and you'd think the premise, time traveling Roman bath fetishist, would suck - but this is great. I'm actually fascinated by it, very interesting Manga. Thanks for sharing.
>>112043701
>FTP now needs you to fucking register on IRC
>Kitty's blog is so fucking vague it's impossible to find
Great stuff. I was looking forward to reading this given the anime was entertaining a couple of years back, too.
>HBO Rome only got 2 seasons
>>112046394
Vague for sure. I didn't even knew they had an IRC channel or ftp till now.
>>112046394
FTP anon was getting hit pretty hard, had to throttle it somehow. Someone posted a link elsewhere and suddenly 2 terabytes were moved in a few days.KicktheKitty
>>112046602
Ah, he was talking about that FTP.
Well, no wonder, actually. Shit got leaked even on earlier stages of its development, and now it has MT backup.
>>112046602
Yeah, I figured it out eventually.
The whole FTP was a terrible idea anyway, there's a reason this shit used to be done with torrents.
>>112046699
Whoops.
>>112046699
It's just a temporary situation for sharing manga. I myself would like some torrents so we're not running some poor anon high bills.
>>112046699
Terrible or not, but at least I got last two volumes of DMC from it. And 10 volumes of Excel in shitty quaity.
>>112046854
I'd like to scan Excel Saga. Apparently someone else was doing it before, but they disappeared with the scans.
>>112046924
are they going tobang
>>112046950
I heard this story, though it was quite vague. Either that particular someone got fucked by Viz and his scans were erased at the speed of light or he just simply disappeared. Dude who was about to do some photos of all 27 volumes so I could transcribe them and typeset on raws disapperead too.
>>112047256
>average Japanese reaction to gaijin
Great thread though, thanks OP
I passed this thread once and skipped it because I thought from the OP pic it's some kind of typical gay manga featuring in rome or something,then I actually got interested when I googled the name.
Apparently it's been made into film several times,anyone know if they are any good ? Or is it the usual 3D disgusting adaptation ?
>>112047229
>italians are loose with the concept of time
The truth hurts me.
>>112047324
That just sound like a good trait when you're meeting with them.
>>112047322
I've only seen one of the films, but it was pretty good.
>>112047318
This page is so good.
>>112047322
It's got Abe Hiroshi in it.
How can it be bad?
friendly reminder to play this whenever he pops up in Japan
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXHT9QgVg7U
>>112047482
I want to shit while talking to the guys next to me. It sounds so relaxing.
>>112047606
Reminds me of the The Love Toilet.
>>112047560
I don't even need to play it. Most of us got this shit burned into our brains permanently.
>>112047634
>Kimochiiii~
>>112047610
He sure likes having his anus "washed".
>>112047634
This is how it starts. First it's water squirting on your ass, and then soon enough you fine yourself naked in an alley, acting like a depraved slut, begging for the nearest man to plunge himself deep into your yaoi hole.
>>112047756
Yooooooooooo...

He better defeat the Jew through the power of hygine.
I love this so much holy shit
t-thanks for the dump anon
One of my favourite things about this is how the MC isn't really that good at what he does. Few things bothers me like OCs being more proficient than RL masters.
>>112047401
>>112047425
Best set of pages in the whole manga.
>>112047697
You know that page always bothered me. I'm pretty sure the romans didn't have clear glass.
>>112048313
Romans had clear glass ~100 CE.
>>112048313
Clear glass was discovered around 100 CE
>>112048313
It was actually developed around the time of Hadrian.
>>112048382
>>112048373
Yea I realized I mixed it up with glass clear enough for telescopes
>572.7mb
w-what
are these in 4K resolution or something
>>112048537
385 pages, 2000px png.
>>112048537
But 4k resolution is the best thing ever.
>>112048709
Commendable translation efforts.
>>112048822
Emperor Hadrian rejected.

Thank you OP. I just thought about it yesterday if it's ever gonna be finished.
>>112048853

Still happens to soldiers today. Bitches and whores don't change.

Nah, divorce is pretty mild, usually they just cheat and enjoy the paycheck.
hoo boy, pingas time.

IIRC they had a few errors.
