Chapter 25-26-27 Nozoki Ana are up! Chapter 27 also concludes volume 3. So the batch is up (Thank to BTWscans since we are borrowing their chapter 19 to make a complete batch too)

And now, for some creep here.

Spoiler:

@To everyone else: thank you for supporting us. Let's have a shower of release then. There are more to come soon.

is blackswans competing with xscansx? sorry im just confused , btw thx for the uber fast release ...

blackwingscans already has released nozoki ana up to chapter 30 - http://blackwingscans.blogspot.com/ ?? wat mean this xscanx?

LOL , you gotta love the spoiler ! Btw i have check out your link and they are not up to 30..there is two 29 chapter...

I prefer download XscansX work ! (the man from Black wing is actually pretty immature i think..starting a war by himself..) Kick him his ass !!

we released the whole volume like half a day ago, but for some reason it was never approved by the mod in mangaupdates. At that time, Blackwingscans was at 26. And now, if they want to play, they got it. I feel more motivated now.

Thanks for the explanation Tran. I must say i don't understand why he keep saying you are stealing their project..you guys have start work on it before him..

it was a fight over a project named Nozomi To Kimio. It was about 3-4 months ago. I saw them releasing pretty bad quality release and then I decided to do the next (also the last chapter) of that manga. We had a fight here:

For the manga quality, check out mangafox whatsoever:

Ala Atrad did chapter 1.
Blackwing did chapter 2.
We did chapter 3.

That guy from Blackwing you are seeing there, is PROzess or Kuma-pun, judge us in that argument for yourself.
He and that Whale-chan still hate me (well, that's understandable after what happened in that argument :X). Regardless, I could careless about them. When I first accepted the request to do Nozoki Ana 20, that Whale-chan showed up and spouting bullshit as you could see. So I was mad and rage quit doing Nozoki Ana. At that time, XscansX had only one person translating Nozoki Ana so the admin board thought it's about time to give up the project. That's why you saw XscansX(btw, XscansX is not a person, it's a nick accessible to every XscansX'staff) said "we might drop Nozoki Ana", but XscansX is not only me, there are like 30-40 of us, and after a vote, we decided to continue doing Nozoki Ana. And that's when that Blackwingscans jumped the gun.
Now you got the whole picture.
Anyways, it's fun and the fan loves it, it's better for the manga too. But what i'm questioning here, is the fairness of mangaupdates's mod who approved of Blackwingscans's releases in like 5 mins while we are still waiting for the release to be approved. (and at that time, we were on the lead).

As much as I prefer you guys over Blackwing, I will most likely end up wing Blackwing copies. Before, I used to be able to use you guy's links since once of them would always work, but now, none of them seems to work for me. All 3 of them will lead to a sign up for Depositfiles/Uploaded/Filesonic as referred to by Xscansx after I go through the ads, which means I get my copy whenever it shows up as a torrent (which means that the torrents will most likely have Blackwing). Is there a way to show the addresses of the links as well instead of just having the links themselves?

maybe its a sign from god to drop projects/ask-the-current-scanlator-of-a-project-whats-the-status-before-you-decide-to-pick-it-up-e.g-nozoki-to-kimio ?

You guys are new in scanlation, play by the rules.

This post is only a few hours old though, so unless the same evil xscansx hating mod is moderates your forum as well, sinisterly delaying all your stuff, that doesn't really add up.

lolz, we are new? To be honest, we are new but being new doesn't mean that we are weak or have to submit to anyone. And taking offense on us doesn't mean that we will endure to be a punching bag. Everyone in the team is determinate to work on it, now I just got more motivation to work harder.
I myself is not new to scanlation, and around 2/3 of our staff is the same. And new people doesn't mean that they are bad at scanlating or anything.

@Harzle: that's correct, I was exaggerate the fact a bit but it can't be denied that, we released 27 first. Still, when they release 27 an hour later than us, they still got approved first. That's why I was a bit angry. btw I got screen shot to show the evidence so it's not like I'm lying to gain any favor.

Be less of a "troll" (Read as: Dumbass because you really aren't trolling.) and I doubt you'd run into MU moderation issues.

@Sir Bon: It would seem you're clicking on the links on the bottom left (Depositfiles, Uploaded, Filesonic) as opposed to the download links (Download Link, Mirror 1, Mirror 2, Mirror 3).

You guys should be the MAN (or WOMAN) and just ignore them.
I'm not saying I support you guys, nor do I support the others.
I'm just thankful that PEOPLE are actually releasing a great series like Nozoki Ana!
But we all know not to feed the troll.

Whelp, now I feel stupid. Whenever the page loads up, the first thing I automatically see is Depositfile/Filesonic and would just click on it without even thinking. Thanks. Now to replace the Blackwings I got from the torrents.

im having hard time downloading this manga .. -_- piff do i really need to register in those stated download links ? -_- , other options ?

Have you read them yet? I'd be interested to see how the two groups compare; we're matching one another in terms of speed, but I wonder how we compare in terms of quality.

JBL: Refer to my previous post directed at Sir Bon

w/c do u prefer ? the onen on the lower left or the Mirrors [ 3 ] ?? im still gona stick with the works of xscansx .. loyal foller !! KUDOSSSSSSSSS

The ones on the lower left aren't download links, they're links to sign up.

The download link and the mirrors are the actual direct links to the files.

oh ! OK2 a big thanks KORO !! PROBLEMA SOLVED !

nah, they prepared for it.
they said it themselves:

"When we read the first post, we decided to continue the project, since they weren't motivated. We started preparing immediately."
Our first release was about like 12 days ago. They had their sweet time while we never had anything just yeserday when we released 22. (fucking hypocrite, where the fuck were them when the manga was left in ruin? bah!)

So you know who's faster in term of speed? hm...i wonder if we go and make a bigger war?

Idk who is winning, I live to serve XscansX, and after all this crap, I can say that, I don't intend to give up on Nozoki Ana anymore. And it's all better to have competition, everyone is happy that more and more chapters are released, and that's totally fine with me.

Good work and thanks for the new chapters

Unbiased third party here. Just figured I'd mention, I'll be downloading Black Wing releases for a couple of reasons:

First off, Tran Linh, your English is very poor. In fact, if you'd do a ctrl+f search right now, you'd find yourself saying you "could careless." How such a simple phrase can be so difficult for some to understand, I have no idea. If you "can care less," it is possible for you to care less, i.e. the amount of care you're harboring is above zero. "Couldn't care less" is the correct way of writing it. Further reading of your replies here reveals your English to be stiff and disgustingly full of grammatical errors. Sure, it's a good notch above illegible, but it's far from decent. If you were just the illiterate cleaner this might've been fine, but I take it you're the translator? Huge issue.

Sorry for the trouble guys, but we are not for profit, therefore we have to bear with a free forum...

Which brings me to my second point, Xscan's download options. Depositfiles, Uploaded, Filesonic? What kind of 3rd world download hosts are those? If you truly were "not for profit," surely you'd be using a better filehost? You should be using Mediafire or Megaupload. Downloading series like GTO: 14 days and Love So Life from you guys sucks balls not only because of your outright bad filehosts, but also because of the poor layout on release posts. Link to some ad -> depositfiles folder -> shitty download. Seriously? For every release?

Third, their typesetting is more elegant. Editing-wise you're pretty close; they've got some bleed-through on some of their pages, and you're overfiltering. Their experience certainly makes a difference in making their releases better than yours.

I agree a bit with unknown about download host when i downloaded chapter 25 from depositefiles it took me 5sec for the ads, 60 sec waiting time and after download of around 90-100kb with all that it took me almost 5min to download a 11.5MB chapter.
5min for a chapter is crazy.

For an unbiased third party you're kind of harsh ^^

I speak for myself and i for real am a third unbiased party.

I was a great fan of this series but it were completely drop out for months..then i was relieved to see XscansX pick up the project and just after that..a group who claim to be the prior group on this project came back..and start to provoke them....

I mean if you were the supposed group in this project were where you for months..? Why coming back just when a group kindly take a project back to life..?

I am only a leecher so i won't talk about quality or speed. But i go along w/ the people who brought back this series to life.
