Rare Manga Hunting and Scanlations
If anyone has some suggestions of manga that's hard to find, please please please please please onegaishimasu tell me about it. I'm going to NYC over spring break, and there are some really nice Japanese bookstores there, and I REALLY want to get some new reading material (nothing's been quite the same since PSoH ended TT) and I'd like to spend as little money as possible (hence little import stores).
Also, I'm thinking of maybe doing scanlations if I can get some decent import manga--it'd be extremely slow work, of course, since I'd be looking everything up in the dictionary, but I'd like to give back to the community a little, y'know? (Well, that and most scanlations have terrible grammar and it makes me cry.) Plus there are way too few shounen-ai manga being translated right now--Gravi, EQ, FAKE, and Yami No Matsuei don't quite sate the hunger.
*stops herself from going into rant about why there's so little Kaori Yuki work translated, since it's soooo good and she's already popular with Angel Sanctuary...*
So, please give suggestions if you have any. Also, if you know of any sites pertaining to rare manga I would be very happy. ^-^ (Also, anyone wanna give me a hand scanlating...? I mean, if you've got a really good kanji dictionary or something, or you know of some desired series, any information and aid will be greatly appreciated.)
