WOW!, Does This Count as Gender Bender?!?




Well, we've been thinking about the release schedule for this one, since it's a 4kmoa...  After batting around the idea of daily releases of a page (two 4koma strips) at a time for a while, I kind of realized that we don't want to lock ourselves into a release schedule that makes it easy to let you guys down if something comes up on our end, so we're going to just go ahead and do typical chapter at a time releases with this one.  Anyway, now that I bored the shit out of you - This is the first chapter of a series called Near Equal.  Like I said, it's a 4koma (although it starts off with a more traditionally formatted intro piece).  It's an interesting premise, pretty funny, and like I said, I'm not sure how to categorize it~

This is the first chapter that Holic's worked with us on, and he's a pretty cool guy.   If you like Vocaloid, swing through his blog, since I've been doing a pretty bad job of uploading stuff for that fandom here.

Also, it bears mention that not only has Haruka been serving XDCC in the IRC for a while, but she just upgraded and is pretty speedy now.

Also, there's been two requests that we make it more clear which releases are hentai.  My response: read the descriptions in the release posts, and check the tags.  It isn't rocket science.

  1. Near Equal is not count as Gender Bender as you can see they both are different person even their are in different universes, so its clear its no Gender Bender type, for me...

  2. Well, the post title is mostly in jest, but it is an interesting sort of 'this is what the MC would be like as a male' without actually genderbending her. Unusual sort of situation, for sure.

  3. I love the concept of the story of parallel worlds, i think that watch has something to do with why the portal remains open since that watch is not of that world I am thinking its like an anchor that keeps the portal open, I like the story i look forward to the next release of this koma

  4. Very unique. But I think it is one manga that has the quality and characteristics of its own.
    I'll continue reading it, thanks for the translation.
    I am very grateful.

  7. "read the descriptions in the release posts, and check the tags. It isn't rocket science."

  9. i think it's GB because meeting your different sex alternate version is gender bender enough for me

  10. To the person with the rude comment that didn't get through - the word 'hentai' is one of our tags. Demanding 'porn' is redundant and only makes it look like you weren't bothering to read the tags in the first place.

    Feel free to send me an email without the rudeness and explain why 'porn' in the tags is significantly different from 'hentai,' since we're all doing this for free, we don't have infinite amounts of time to play around with redundant tagging for no reason. I'm still confused on where your confusion came from, and why you took that comment so seriously.

  14. Porn and Hentai is the same but personally I think it is better to put "Hentai" tags rather than "Porn" tags because of the Japanese-ism?

  15. This manga really interests me, but alas, my poor memory will probably make me forget about it by next realese -_-;

    Do you have any schedule for it? I would be really grateful if there was a weekly/monthly realise or so.

  16. Unfortunately we don't have some super-regular schedule we'll be sticking with on this one, it's kind of holic's introduction to being a translator (don't worry, his scripts get a second look over), so it really all depends on how much trouble he has making it through the chapter.

  17. I saw on mangaupdates this maga got 1 volume as of the moment, do you have in raws the whole volume 1 as well? and If you do may i know where you got it, i may not be able to read it but it would be fun see the upcoming images..

  18. As with about 90% of our stuff, we scanned our own raws. As with most of our stuff, NJManga bought the raws, and our general policy is to not release the raws for the simple fact that he bought them specifically for us and it would kind of suck to have some wise ass start competing with us on releases with our own raws. Chapter 2 is already well on it's way to being ready though, so I guess just be patient?
