Sorry for taking much longer than I usually do with this volume, last week was quite the busy week for me. Now let's just hope the same generous anonymous can get v8 &9 soon for us.
Just picked up v8 last weekend and will scan if I have free time this week. I don't think Kinokuniya will get v9 in anytime soon so I'll have to order off of Amazon.jp. I'll comment again if I manage to get it.
Hox, do you still need V8 and V9? I am in Japan right now and could try to get my hands on them. I have never done scanning a volume before though, a guide how to do it right would be quite nice.
The other guy hasn't picked up v9 yet so it'd be great if you could scan it for me. There're good guides on the internet on how to scan, but what I've found easiest is to debind by microwaving the book, pausing every 15-20 seconds or so to check up on the page and glue status. Once the glue is soft enough, you can easily take the pages apart just by gently tugging on it.
As for scanning, using a program like irfanview is useful when doing batch scanning and naming files.
I'm so sorry, I totally forgot about it Hox. Got around quite a lot and bought stuff for some friends as well, it was a quite hectic holiday.
I actually did check for FKMT manga in a bunch of stores (was thinking about buying some, that Koizumi Mahjong manga and Onepunch-Man for myself) and could never find them, though (with the exception of that mahjong magazine publishing Akagi and some reprint of old volumes in some 7/11 stores, strangely enough). I was running around a lot of specialized stores since a friend of mine wanted some stuff from there as well and think if I spotted some FKMT stuff I would have remembered. I never asked explicitly for any manga by FKMT, though (don't even remember why).
Sorry again. Hope someone else can provide Raws.
@Anon: if I were to provide scans, I want to provide them in a quality as high as possible, that's why I asked.
That's what i mean. You are a loser. In real life and online, so you look up to cool ppl like Hox and try to get their Attention by posing like a nice Raw provider. I KNEW U WOULDN'T DO SHIT. Too bad u "forgot" about it. Well fuck you i don't care about quality because u wouldn't do jackshit anyway. I rly like this manga but i hope no one will ever provide raws so you asshole won't get to read it. I bet u weren't even in Japan anyway. More likely your mom cut off your internet connection because even though i bet you are around 20-25 years old you still live at home and jerk off to hentai all day. Seriously get a life and grow a real penis not that 2 inch disgusting thing that u apparently have. Lucky for you it's the internet and you don't even have to register. Burn in hell Faker fag
Calm down guys!! I bought around 15 Volumes overall for FKMTkrazy and Fukumoto mangas in general. If would have known that this child who apparently only wants attention wouldn't pick it up i would have bought this one too. Don't insult him my friend and calm down. You are fighting those people on their own level if you insult them. Of course i hate them too because i wanted to save the money because i just buy japanese mangas to support translators like hox. Sadly it turned out like you said and he wasted our time. Maybe i buy it in a few months if i feel like it. Just wait and don't believe faker kids like him ;-) They just get your hopes up.
Hox, do you still need raws from volumes #8 and #9? I was already seriously thinking of buying and scanning them until I read Anonymous post from the 9th of June. I thought it was already taken care of so I decided not to buy volumes #8 and #9. Unfortunatly, nothing materialized. If you still want them, I will give a call to a japanese bookstore in Paris to check whether it has Gambling Emperor Zero volumes #8 and #9 in stock.
pick it up if you can. Thanks to that faker we all thought a nice person would take care of it .... Turned out to be the normal 11 year old douchebag who hasn't hit puberty.
You are stupid .... We are talking about that guy who posted at the 9th of june.... He said himself that he didn't scan a single volume before and asked for a guide. Please read EVERY POST before you try to make a sarcastic remark dumbass.
I don't have so much free time as to read every single post in this blog, but I do have the decency of not being an ass to someone who was trying to help. Do you?
Wow you are seriously beyond redemption. READ ALL POSTS OR SHUT THE HELL UP U FUCKING IDIOT! You are even worse than this douche who claims he would buy the mangas which ended in nearly 1 month waste of time and no translation beeing done. You shouldnt be allowed to use a computer fucking idiot. decency? trying to help? U should have the decency and go live in the jungle with ur monkeybrain
TRY. As in, "Hey, I'm here by chance and if I remember/spot that stuff I'll do it." I never posted I bought it already/will def. buy it. I honestly doubt you'd remember that post when you're in a country you wanted to visit since years as well.
Your posts really are baffling, especially to the other guy who actually scanned Vol 7. It's just a manga, calm down.
Vol 10 will come out in one week (on the 17th), so I will buy vol 8, 9, and 10. I did not call the bookstore yet. I hope they will have them in stock. If they don't, I will look for another way.
Thanks for the effort. Would it be possible to call the shop now? If i turns out that you can't buy the 3 books this way (which is highly likely since vol 10 just came out at this point) i dont want to waste more time. If it works out: GREAT if not i try to get my hands on them.
I called the shop and gave the ISBN number. The shop has both volume 8 and 9 in stock! I am going to order them or go to the shop to buy them. I should get them by the end of next week.
I ordered volume 8, 9, and 10. Volume 10 will be released on the 17th and the shop needs 7 to 10 days to receive it, so I guess I will get the three volumes on the last week of July. I will start scanning as soon as I get them.
This is the anon who scanned v7. I have v8 in my possession and just got free time to scan it (been busy with school) if that's fine with you. Maybe you can call back and cancel your order for v8 or something if that's possible? I never managed to find v9 or v10 so thanks a lot for buying them.
Yes, I am aware and I now have the v8 raws. It'll have to wait until after Punpun. Hopefully the other kind anon can get me v9 and 10 raws so I can just blitz through the last 3 volumes of Zero Part 2 during August.
I scanned the first chapter of volume 9. I am not really satisfied with my work but I will try to improve the quality with the next chapters. Let me know whether this first chapter is ok. http://www.evisdelicious.com/images-mangas/GamblingChap72.rar
What scanning program are you using? If you're using something like irfan, you should be able to modify the size so your scans just contain the images and exclude the huge empty spaces. Also, it'd be nice if some of the pages weren't crooked (p.42-45 are all quite crooked as you can see). Don't worry too much about it if you don't know how to make it look better. It can all be fixed easily enough as I work on it and I'm thankful enough for having someone buy and scan the raws for me.
I am using the software that came with my scanner. I will try Irfan the next time. You are right about the crooked pages, but they are going to be difficult to avoid since the page size is smaller than what my scanner can deal with. (Unless I use the scanner glass instead of the feeder)
I scanned the whole volume using Irfan view. (I redid the first chapter) You can download it here: http://www.evisdelicious.com/images-manga/GamblingTome9.rar Let me know whether there are still things that could be improved in your opinion. I think will try to use a lower resolution for volume 10.
Please rescan all the even-numbered pages. They all have a strange line that seems to "fold" the image at around the middle of the page. For example, look at Zero's face on the middle panel of page 4. The odd-numbered pages, however, look just fine.
Also, I believe you're missing 10 pages between p133 and 134. Chapter 77 should have 26 pages according to the table of contents but it only has 15 pages right now.
hox you are a true hero! thank you so much for translating one of my favorite mangas. i can't wait to see how the last two volumes will wrap this up.
ReplyDeleteThanks once again, you're a trooper! :) BTW, any word on the next Vinland Saga?
ReplyDeleteI hope theres new Vinland Saga this month : (
ReplyDeletethank you hox for this volume

Thanks for your hard work as usual.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Hox, working hard even during busy weeks.
ReplyDeleteAwesome, much appreciated. Can't wait to get myself more of that juicy plot.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Hox and anon!
ReplyDelete(Spoiler) Where did the numbers on the tiles come from?
ReplyDeleteyou're than man hox. and random anon too!
ReplyDeleteSo good. A masterpiece.
ReplyDeleteThanks
Just picked up v8 last weekend and will scan if I have free time this week. I don't think Kinokuniya will get v9 in anytime soon so I'll have to order off of Amazon.jp. I'll comment again if I manage to get it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Hox and Anonymous! You guys rock!
ReplyDeleteGyanki-hen will apparently have ten volumes in total. The last one coming out next month. http://kc.kodansha.co.jp/product/top.php/1234645829
ReplyDeleteIs V8 up yet???
ReplyDeleteHox, do you still need V8 and V9? I am in Japan right now and could try to get my hands on them. I have never done scanning a volume before though, a guide how to do it right would be quite nice.
ReplyDeleteYou wont do it anyway.... I bet all my money you dont do it! How to guide: Use a scanner and put the pages in ... Wow thats hard ...
DeleteThe other guy hasn't picked up v9 yet so it'd be great if you could scan it for me. There're good guides on the internet on how to scan, but what I've found easiest is to debind by microwaving the book, pausing every 15-20 seconds or so to check up on the page and glue status.

Over 2 weeks over! Oh what a suprise u didn't do jackshit. Wow and hox really gave you a nice tutorial on how to scan pages.
DeleteReally as always talk shit about scanning and buying the volumes and then showing everyone that you lack a penis.
I'm so sorry, I totally forgot about it Hox. Got around quite a lot and bought stuff for some friends as well, it was a quite hectic holiday.

Bro, read my first post again:

ReplyDeleteYou are a very generous person for doing this. I thank both you and Hox on behalf all the leechers like me who usually don't post.
DeleteCool! Thanks a lot Gustav XIII!
DeleteThis is the anon who scanned v7. I have v8 in my possession and just got free time to scan it (been busy with school) if that's fine with you. Maybe you can call back and cancel your order for v8 or something if that's possible? I never managed to find v9 or v10 so thanks a lot for buying them.
DeleteI don't mind, I will keep V8 anyway, but thanks for the info! Ok then I will start scanning V9 and V10 when I get them.
DeleteI got an email from the shop. I shall get my order tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteNice.
ReplyDeleteWhat about the nice anon who scanned vol.7 and apparently said that he has the time to scan vol.8 too?
someone posted the raws a little while ago I think
DeleteNice then we just need to get the attention of Hox. Maybe he isn't aware of it yet.
DeleteHe is aware, and said he would start translating it when he finishes his current work (Punpun I think).
DeleteYes, I am aware and I now have the v8 raws. It'll have to wait until after Punpun. Hopefully the other kind anon can get me v9 and 10 raws so I can just blitz through the last 3 volumes of Zero Part 2 during August.

Woops, I meant you're possibly missing 11 pages. Just check that whole chapter 77 just in case.
DeleteAny news? Did you get the new vol. 8 Hox?? And did you already start working on vol 7?
ReplyDeleteGoing to get started on vol. 8 later this week but I'm still waiting on Gustav to fix up his v9 scans.
DeleteI'm going to work on it before the week-end.
DeleteI rescanned chapter 77:

I tried to solve the strange line issue but I could not fix it. The problem comes from my scanner.
V10 is on the way.
Alright, it's fine then. I don't think people will mind too much. Thanks for all your efforts.
