Okay, i'll read it.
>>122503232
>It all began in a small village
>One day, during a small earthquake the floor within the village catacombs collapsed and from
its depth a man emerged
>The man claimed to be the ruler of the golden kingdom that fell into ruin
thousands of years ago
>The once glorious kingdom was submerged deep below ground by a demented mage
and is to this day sealed within the earth
>"To the one that defeats the mage, I will give everything within my kingdom"
>After uttering these words the man turned into dust and dissappeared.
>>122503295
>"Hold out a bit longer everyone!"
>"If we defeat this dragon we will almost be there"
>"Let's go!"
>We are thoroughly prepared
>There's no chance that we'll lose
>However...
>>122503232
I've been looking forever for these translations
Thanks based TLanon
>>122503339
>I'm hungry
>Before we got here we got lost due to a misprint on the map and as a result wasted at least one day
>Then we fell into a trap and lost around three-days worth of provisions
*Stomp*
>"My defensive spell won't make it in time!"
>"Hurry up with the heal!"
>Our movements are sluggish due to hunger
>It's annoying but once we defeat the dragon we should go back to the surface
>>122503374
The little manlet in the second panel is saying
>"Aren't we walking in circles?"
I forgot to put it there
>"Big bro!"
>What's wrong, did she get affected by confusion magic?
>>122503444
>Huh
>Wha
>You got to be kiddding me
>We're going to get wiped, this deep into the dungeon
*shudder*
>"R-run away...."

>"Ugh...."
>*Grumble*
>(I'm hungry...)
Elf
>"Lios! Are you awake?"
Elf
>"It seems like we managed to escape from the dungeon through magic"
>"But we can't find Falin anywhere..."
Lios
>"....She was eaten..."
Elf
>"Huh?"
Lios>
"Apparently magic didn't work inside the dragon's stomach"
Elf
>"oh no..."
Lios
>"She is most likely still inside the dungeon"
*note; The literal pronounciation of his name is Laios or Raios
>>122503621
Lios
>"I'll go save her right away"
Elf
>"W-wait"
Lios
>"?"
Elf
>"Actually, it seems like we left most of our baggage within the dungeon"
>"In other words, we're almost broke"
Lios
>"Are you serious?"
???
>"And to make things worse..."
>"We just lost two members from our party"
Lios
>"Chilchuck, what's that"
>'Our lives are at stake you know, when Lios wakes could you give him this?"
[Letter of resignation]
Chilhuck
>"I heard they had recieved invitations from a different guild from before"
[Due to personal reasons I have decided to retire from this party]
Lios
>"Whaaaat"
*note; according to this page the halfling's name is Nulchuck but this a scan from the magazine and in later chapters and in the tank they've changed his name to Chilchuck for some reason. A literal pronounciation of his name would be Chiruchakku
>>122503738
>To explore the dungeon you need money
>Employment cost for party members
>Equipment costs
>Cost for daily necessities
>And food costs money too
[small text]
>Armor, weapons, change of clothes, torches and lanterns, medicine, sleeping bag, cooking pot, toilet paper, food, water
Chilchuck
>"Found a coin I stashed away"
Lios
>"If we sell our current equipment for the time being..."
>"We could buy cheaper gear to afford food, medicine and other necessities"
>"Recruit new members..."
>"And then buy equipment for the new members..."
Lios
>"You think it would be enough?"
Chilchuck
>"Hardly"
Lios
>"My little sister will be fully digested by the time I'm ready at this rate"
Lios
>"There were a guy that chopped into pieces that managed to get revived right!?"
>"Has there been a case where an adventurer has been revived from poop?"
Chilchuck
>"Never heard about a case like that"
>>122503738
>halfling
Fug, I thought it was a kid.
>>122503806
*grumble*
Elf
>"We still have a problem with money but should we put that aside and grab something to eat?"
>"You could kind of say that we failed because we were hungry, getting our stomachs full should be our top priority"
Elf
>"What should we eat? The food at the public cafeteria on the main street is cheap but 'The Laughing Wolf' serves bigger portions"
[Menu]
Grilled thick bacon and potatoes - ?G
Pork Stew - 183G
Large serving of fry-donburi - 160G
(Yakitori/Kebab) - 190G
Elf
>"Ah, but you can't forget that bar that over there that gives away
portable food as a service if you eat there"
>"Their 'Meatbun Soup' is really tasty!"
>>122503882
Lios
>"No, we have to dive into the dungeon as soon as possible"
Elf
>"But if we go in like this..."
Lios
>"I have an idea..."
Lios
>"I'll have both of you leave the guild"
Elf
>"What!?"
Lios
>"Then I'll sell your equipment and I'll enter the dungeon alone"
Elf
>"T-that's absurd!"
Chilchuck
>"Do you intend to die?"
Lios
>"No, this way the equipment doesn't have to be downgraded, also if I'm alone I can evade the monsters easier and thus keeping the battling to a minimum"
>"It's not impossible"
Lios
>"I'm at fault for this entire situation anyway"
>"I can't put you two into more dangerous situations..."
Elf
>"Lios... To go so far..."
*grab*
Thank you based anon.
Read the raw and loved it.
>>122503927
Elf
>"No way! I'm absolutely going with you!"
>"I also really like Farin you know"
Elf
>"I won't let you call me a hindrance, you know how powerful my magic is"
Chilchuck
>"Don't forget my job, I won't let you say that someone that can unlock doors and disarm traps is useless"
Lios
>"You two..."
*grab*
Lios
>(menacingly)"Are you really sure that you want to come with me? Regardless of what might happen!?"
Elf
>"Y-ýeah....?"
>>122503961
Entrance to the dungeon
Lios
>"We'll eat whatever is within the dungeon"
Elf and Chilchuck
>"What!?"
Lios
>"The dungeon is overflowing with monsters, in brief some sort of ecosystem must exist"
Lios
>"If there's carnivorous monsters there are herbivorous monsters that becomes its food!"
>"The herbivores eats plants, in which turn have water, light and soil that becomes its nutrients!"
Lios
>"Thus, humans should be able to survive eating only what's inside the dungeon!"
[Nutritional balance guide]
Motion, water
Staple food
Side dishes
Main dishes
Fruits/Milk, dairy products
Chilchuck
>"Aw cmon"
Elf
>"Wait, does that mean that we're going to eat the monsters?"
Lios
>"We're also eating monsters, in short we'll eat anything that looks edible"
Lios
>"Think back on our past adventures"
>"Surely you can think of a monster that looked pretty tasty"
>>122504051
Chilchuck
>"I guess it's not completely unthinkable?"
Elf
>"No way! No way! There's absolutely no way!"
Lios
>"I heard there are plenty of people that hunts monsters and lives on their flesh"
Elf
>"Those stories are about criminals and such that can't come back to the surface right!?"
Elf
>"Even then, those people are constantly transported back because of food poisoning! I saw it in the newspaper!"
[Reading the newspaper last year]
Elf
>"Ahahaha, there sure are dumb people! Eating monsters!"
Lios
>"You said you'd do anything to save Farin didn't you?"
Elf
>"I never said anything about eating monsters!"
fucking elves
>>122504089
Lios
>"So, we have neither time nor money to buy provisions"
>"Do you have a better idea?"
Elf
>"Even then, it would all be pointless if we ate something weird and collapsed..."
[screams in the distance]
>"Run away!"
Elf
>"...Those have to be beginners to the dungeon"
>"If they panic against a monster of this caliber they probably aren't fit for this..."
Elf
>"Huh?"
>>122504153
Elf
>"Lios, wait..."
Lios
>"Let's try to make this into todays lunch"
Elf
>"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
>>122504189
Elf
>"No way, No way! No chance in hell!"
Chilchuck
>"Don't you think a mushroom from the get go is a bit scary? Poison and stuff"
Lios
>"According to the 'Dungeon Gourmet Guide' this is an ingredient suited for beginners"
Lios
>"Something like, plenty of meat and no weird nuances"
Elf
>"What is this book? It's scribbled all over"
Chilchuck
>"It looks really old"
Lios
>"We should go a bit furhter and set up a bonfire in an open place"
>"I want one or two more ingredients however"
*Skitter*
Lios
>"This sound has to be a huge scorpion moving about!"
Chilchuck
>"Do you think that guy is..."
*note; I personally think giant scorpion is a better term but I'm using the names from the official english names written in the tank
>>122504153
>>122504189
Holy shit not the walking mushroom

Dungeon: First floor
>Even though it's inside the dungeon visitors are plenty, adventurers and merchants tends to gather here
>Originally, this was a silent and sacred place where the deceased villagers rested
>However, ever since the catacombs was connected with the dungeon it became the livliest place in the village
Kraust family grave
>"..."
>It is said that the monsters comes from the depth of the dungeon
>It is unclear whether the monsters comes from normal animals from the surface that were transformed using forbidden magic or if they are summoned from another world
>They all have strange shapes and attacks nearby humans as if they're protecting something
*Clutch*
>However it is these monsters that is the sole proof of the cursed golden capital's existance
>>122504318
Elf
>"Don't catch it like it's a crayfish"
Lios
>"Huge scorpions tends to fix its prey with its front claws so it can inject it with the neuro-toxin in its tail"
It reacts on a reflex so it's fast
Lios
>"Because you can catch it by just agitating it you don't need any bait, it's even easier than catching cray fishes"
Chilchuck
>"Really man"
Beginners only pays attention to its tail so they often fall in trouble
Area infront of claws: Dangerous, Area behind tail: Safe
Chilchuck
>"Let me guess, you've been waiting for an opportunity to eat these haven't you?"
*Blush*
Lios
>"That doesn't mean my will to save my little sister is false"
Elf and Chilchuck
>"Yeah, yeah"
Lios
>"... I've been keeping quiet about this so far, but I really like monsters"
Lios
>"Their shape, their cries"
>"What kind of ecology they live in"
Lios
>"And after a while I started craving to know their taste"
Chilchuck
>"He's a psycopath"
>>122504418
Chilchuck
>"Excuse me"
Chilchuck
>"Shouldn't we do this in a place that doesn't have as much people?"
Lios
>"It would be tiresome to go back and forth everytime we wanted to use water, wouldn't it?"
*Stare*
Elf
>"So, how are we supposed to eat these?"
Lios
>"How about boiling it? It's simple and orthodox"
Elf
>"Not sure if this is considered orthodox"
Lios
>"Muh!"
Elf
>"What happened!?"
Lios
>"It's easy when you cut it vertically but if your try it horizontally there's a great deal of resistance"
Lios
>"When dealing with mushroom type monsters trying to slash them horizontally or diagonally might be less effective, I learned something today"
Elf
>"Is that so"
>>122503232
Thanks OP. I've always want to read this. I heard this manga was highly appreciated in Nipsland
>>122504478
Chilchuck
>"When you slice it almost looks edible"
Elf
>"Not really"
Elf
>"H-hold it"
Elf
>"Are you going to eat the scorpion like it is? Won't the poison spread?"
Lios
>"This scorpion is venomous, not poisonous"
Elf
>"Are you sure?"
Lios
>"Or so the book said, made me want to try it"
*chomp*
Lios
>"Bleueuergh"
???
>"Hold it right there!"
>>122504531
Dwarf
>"Is that a scorpion hot pot you have there? I don't agree with that method however"
Elf
>"Who?"
Dwarf
>"When eating a huge scorpion you have to cut of its claws,head,legs and tail"
>"You'll get loose in the stomach if you eat the tail"
Lios
>"So your stomach becomes loose huh, it said it was fine in the book"
>"More than anything, it just tasted real bad"
Dwarf
>"You'll want to make small cuts into the flesh"
>"That way it will heat up evenly and it will enhance the overall taste of the hot pot, it's also way easier to eat"
Dwarf
>"Remove the guts real quick, they're bitter and feels bad on your teeth"
Dwarf
>"If you pickle it and let it ferment a bit it makes a good snack to go with beer"
>"Might be too early for amateurs though"
*note; It's actually 'nabemono' but hot pot sounded more natural http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nabemono
>>122504606
Dwarf
>"Remove the lower part and 3cm of the surface on the walking mushroom"
>"The feet are tasty so we'll put that in"
Lios
>"The feet are good? I was about to throw them away"
Dwarf
>"That's right"
Dwarf
>"They have a very special smell doesn't it? Smells good"
Elf
>(So it smells like feet...)
Dwarf
>"This pot is a tad too small"
Dwarf
>"Let's use my pot"
Elf
>"Really well prepared I see"
Dwarf
>"It's a bit sad with only scorpion and mushroom"
>"Hmmm"
>>122504496
it's nice to see that it's well recieved there
Elf girl a qt
>>122504657
>"He came back"
Dwarf
>"This"
Elf
>"Wait a second! That is not fine!"
Lios
>"Malcille"
Malcille
>"No! No! This isn't ok! This is a graveyard remember?!"
Malcille
>"I'll tolerate the monsters, but plants with roots are NG! Also religiously NG!"
Malcille
>"Let's just eat the scorpion and the walking mushroom you guys! It looks sufficiently tasty already!"
>"But Malcille..."
Malcille
>"Who are you anyway? What in the name of..."
>"Malcille, above you!"
*note;The literal translation of Malcille is Marushiru

Malcille
>"Uh"
Lios and Chilchuck
>"Slime!"
Lios
>"Malcille, don't move!"
Malcille
>(Damn it,it covered my face)
Malcille
>(Fire magic... Ah, no use, I can't chant the spell)
>>122504784
Malcille
>(When I think about it, the first time I died was against a slime)
>(Ah, I think I can see the light)
Lios
>"Fire! Get fire!"
Chilchuck
>"Malcille are you ok?"
Malcille
>"I'm fine, a little bit came in my nose though"
Chilchuck
>"Here, blow your nose"
Lios
>"To think that you dealt with that slime with only a knife"
Dwarf
>"If you know its construction it is quite simple"
Dwarf
>"It might seem like it doesn't have a consistent form but in reality it has a very robust form"
Dwarf
>"The slime's internal organs looks like this"
>"If you would compare it with humans it would be as if your stomach got turned inside out and covered your entire body"

Dwarf
>"They detect the air the prey is breathing, meaning that if you scream it is more likely they will attack you"
Dwarf
>"You can't really eat it as it is but you can use the juice from citrus fruits and wash it thoroughly with hot water"
Dwarf
>"And then absorb the moisture with a towel or with salt and finally let it dry in the sun for a while and you got a luxurious ingredient"
[The sight of drying slime during spring]
Dwarf
>"Ideally, you want to have it starve for about 2 weeks"
>"It takes time to dry it, in fact this isn't something you can snack on easily in the dungeon"
Dwarf
>"This is a portable slime drying net I made"
Insert the slime into the net
It dries while you carry it on the back
>>122504962
Dwarf
>"Normally it takes time to complete"
Dwarf
>"Here I have the finished product, let's add this to today's lunch"
Lios
>"But isn't it a luxurious ingredient?"
Dwarf
>"I don't care"
Dwarf
>"I have been studying monster cooking in this dungeon for over 10 years"
>"I'm just happy that someone is showing interest towards monster cooking"
Lios
>"10 years!"
Chilchuck
>"Has the dungeon existed for that long even?"
Dwarf
>"Well just wait a tiny bit, it will be done soon"
>>122505010
Dwarf
>"It's done"

Melcille

Dwar
>f"You can eat it in any way, it's also good to soak it in fruit juices"
Chilchuck
>"This tree root is also good"
Dwarf
>"Those aren't really roots, they're a kind of plant that grows upside down in this dungeon"
Melcille
>"These leaves are so soft and delicious, are these also only found in this dungeon"
Dwarf
>"Those are normal leaves that grows i damp places"
Chilchuck
>"To think that things like these existed in the dungeon we casually strolled by"
>>122505223
Lios
>"By the way, we haven't introduced ourselves yet"
Dwarf
>"My name in Senshi, it means explorer in the language of the dwarves"
Lios
>"I'm Lios, Malcille the mage and Chilchuck the master of unlocking"
Senshi
>"It seems like your travel has a deeper meaning to it"
Lios
>"Yes, you could say that"
Lios
>"One of our friends got eaten by a monster deep down in the dungeon, we want to rescue her before she's digested"
Senshi
>"To a monster, what kind?"
Lios
>"A dragon, with red scales"
*note; literal translation of Senshi's name is... Senshi
>>122505268
Senshi
>"Red scales... deep in the dungeon.... A fire dragon!"
>"Dragons sleeps through most of their life time because they have to maintain a body so large, the digestion should be way slower than other monsters"
Lios
>"I hope that is the case"
Senshi
>"Please, can I follow you on this trip?"
Lios
>"Ofcourse, it would actually help a lot"
Senshi
>"Really? Ah, I'm thankful"
Lios
>"So are we..."
Senshi
>"Cooking a red dragon is my life-long dream!"
>>122505315
Senshi

Senshi

Everyone else

Chilchuck
>"I've been wondering about this since before, how come the trees this tall don't pierce the ground above them?"
Lios
>"Perhaps the space is distorted?"
Chilchuck
>"I guess, this dungeon was created through a curse after all"
Malcille
>"Gyan"
Chilchuck
>"Are you ok, Malcille?"
Malcille
>"I stumbled on a gap in the bridge"
Elves being useful as ever
>>122505822
Lios
>"We've walked quite a bit, I suppose we're all a bit tired"
Lios
>"We should find a suitable shelter and call it for today a bit earlier"
Lios
>"Do you remember when we camped around here a while back?"
Chilchuck
>"Yeah, I remember"
Lios
>"We tried to make pork soup but burnt ourselves"
>"Ha ha ha"
Malcille
>"Soup..."
*grumble"
Senshi
>"Are you hungry?"
>"I have some scorpion juice leftovers from the lunch"
Malcille
>"No thanks"
Lios
>"Hmm, I say we should hunt down a monster that can become our dinner"
Malcille
>"Aaaaahh"
>>122505883
*sigh*
Lios
>"...Malcille, is there something you'd like to eat?"
Lios
>"If you have a request I'll do my best to comply"
Malcille
>"Lios..."
Malcille
>"But it's still going to be a monster right?"
*sigh*
Malcille
>"I'm fine with anything, as long as it's edible"
Chilchuck
>"What kind of monsters lives around these parts anyway?"
Lios
>"Let's see..."
>>122505930
Lios
>"Big Bats and Giant Rats"
[Descriptions]
Big Bat
A giant vampiric bat...
Shreds its prey with its claws...
Sucks its blood...
Giant Rat
A rat the size of a pig...
Dangerous due to its aggresivity...
Malcille
>"I'm not going to eat anything that unhygienic! We might get sick"
Lios
>"Forest Goblin"
[Description]
An earth fairy that lives in the forest...
Traverses amongst the branches in the trees...
Their strength lies in their marksmanship with bows,
fires arrows from the shadows amongst the leaves
Malcille
>"Humanoids are out of the question!"
Lios
>"Walking Armor"
[Description]
Flashy armors that are seemingly empty
Protects the halls in castles
Will sneak up from behind if not careful
Malcille
>"Metal?"
>>122505982
Malcille
>"Aren't there any normal things? Like birds! Or fruits!"
Lios
>"Huh?"
Chilchuck
>"Oh, you're one of 'those' persons"
>"They say that they're fine with anything but when you bring up suggestions
they start whining about it"
Malcille
>"Am I being that unreasonable now!?"
Lios
>"There are, but those ones tend to hide so hunting them takes a bit more effort and preparations"
Lios
>"It's not like a duck will come along carrying a leek on its back"
Malcille
>"I'm sorry, you're right"
Lios
>"However, since this is a dungeon a monster duck carrying
a man-eating leek might appear!"
>"Let's try to enjoy ourselves more!"
Malcille
>"I can't possibly reach your levels of positivity"
Senshi
>"Actually, this season there's a tons of fruits and nuts"
Malcille
"Huh.... Is that true?"
*note; A duck coming along with a leek on its back is a japanese proverb meaning that something convient happened, a stroke of luck
Thanks for the heads-up. Reading all of these made me hungry.
>>122506109
Malcille
>"I told you so! I told you it would be fruits from man-eating monster plants!"
>>122506145
Lios
>"Malcille, that's wrong. 'Man-eating plants' is a colloquial term"
Lios
>"For example, the official name of that flower over there is 'Baracelia'"
Lios
>"It mainly targets beasts"
Lios
>"Using mucus which is similiar to spider webs, it automatically drags any organism that happen to touch the mucus"
Lios
>"Even though it wraps its tentacles around anything that moves it cannot digest them.
>"It's a plant that creates its own compost"
Lios
>"It's not like it only preys on humans or is eating its prey"
Malcille
>"But it happens that it makes humans into its nutrients right? It's not under the cherry tree* but..."
Lios
>"You do know that the vegetables you usually eat comes from
corpses and feces from animals right?"
Malcille
>"I'm not denying that but..."
*note; a bit of breaking the fourth wall here, it's a reference to "Under the cherry tree" which is a japanese novel from 1987 written by Watanabe Junichi
>>122506378
Chilchuck
>"Don't worry, this is still the second floor"

stuck together better"

Baracelia - Composte creating type
Miaowk - Baiting type
Betan - Dependant type (steals nutrients from other plants)
Malcille

>>122507097
Malcille?
"Fruits from composte creating type are fresh and are kind of sweet"
>"And the ones from the digestion types have a very heavy and dense taste"
Malcille
>"But is it really fine like this?"
>"I mean, if it they taste good doesn't that mean it's a treat for animals as well?"
Malcille
>"Wouldn't animals eat up all the fruits all the time?"
Lios
>"Well, the plants themselves are carnivores, their nutrients comes from baiting animals with fruits and then catching them"
Malcille
>"Oh, I see"
Malcille
>"So this tastyness stems from the strategies the plants use to catch animals"
>"I see!"
Lios
>"You are starting to show genuine interest in this, Malcille I am so happy"
Malcille
>"You're wrong! Stop it!"
>>122507144

[text with arrow pointing at the corpse]
They brought him here at least
Malcille

Lios

Chilchuck

Chichuck

Malcille
>"They're roasting salt pork..."
Malcille

Malcille

Bread
Wine
Other things

Senshi
>"When exploring the dungeon it's important to build stamina by eating fat from meat but that can't be the only thing you eat"
>"Malnutrition is scarier than any monster, it's even a big improvement if you add things such as walking mushrooms or man eating plants into your meal"
Senshi

[Breakfast: Yesterday's leftovers (Fruits from man-eating plants)

Senshi

Malcille
>"It's not like we are expecting something anyway!"
Senshi
>"Yesterday was scorpion hot pot"
Senshi
>"Then we ate fruits from man eating plants"
>"All of which are very nutrient but do you know what they're all missing?"
Malcille"Common sense?"
Senshi
>"You, elf girl, you said you were jealous when you saw the others eating pork"
Senshi
>"That's because your body is craving for fat"
Malcille
>"That's not it! It's only because I don't want to eat more monsters!"
>>122507637
Senshi
>"So, today we will hunt for a monster with plenty of fat content"
Senshi
>"Ideally we want to find some eggs aswell since eggs are perfect when it comes to nutritions"
>"Inside the dungeon you want to eat as much of them as you can"
[Perfect Nutrition]
Lios

Senshi
>"Indeed, it's 'that'"
Chilchuck

Lios

Lios

Chilchuck
>"Good for you Malcille, seems like we're going to eat chicken meat"
Malcille
>"Chicken..."
Malcille
>"Is it really chicken meat? Can you really call it chicken meat?"
Chilchuck
>"dunno"
Lios
>"They're so cool, back in the days I used to think that mixing the more kinds of animals the better"
>"In the end, just mixing two animals enhances their respective charm"
[Cool OC monster I thought up]
Lios

Surprisingly vicious

Is kind of reptile-y

Senshi

Senshi

>"Most eggs are infertile and are spread around its nest"
>>122507859
Senshi

Senshi

Malcille

Lios

Malcille

And that's it kids! There's 5 more chapters out but I'm not sure if I'll try to translate those.
Hopefully a real TL group that can typeset and shit will pick this up soon
I like it

Do you not have a crush on the warrior in your party?
Comfy as fuck. The atmosphere feels kinda like Silver Spoon crossed with the less retarded parts of Toriko.
Thanks for sharing, OP.
Thanks for this OP
good stuff
Thanks, OP.
btw, here's a pastebin of what I did if someone is interested in typesetting my shitty translation in the mean time

Is this a weekly series?
Bumping for reading and appreciation.
>>122510422
No, I think it's monthly unfortunately
>>122512055
Damn. Is it completely original or has a source?
What about the imouto?

>do elfs all have crushes on the warrior in their parties or what?
Female healer/elf are legally obligated by adventurer guild rules to fall in love with the party warrior/leader.
>>122512150
I think it's original, if you liked it you should probably check out Kui Ryoko's other works, they're all short stories however

Anyone going to typeset this?
Bump for later reading, synopsis is interesting
Fun read.
I love cooking manga.
Oh cool, thanks. Email the dead scanlations guy, let him know that you're TLing this.
Oh, this got a volume release. I'll scan it, if anyone wants to edit, so that we aren't stuck with shitty 1200px rips.
