Happy Holidays

December 25th, 2008 | Category: Jackals, My Balls, Releases

Double-release for you all, seeing as it’s the holidays and all that jazz.

Jackals 13 DDL
My Balls 24 DDL

For you naysayers, no we were not just sitting on raws doing nothing. I was in school + maintaining a job and had no time to clean. It’s as simple as that. Now that I’m done with school, I have time to clean. 23 was coming out exactly when it did regardless of someone else doing it or not, as was this one.  Also, I’m pretty much doing everything but translating and typesetting

    Hm. It seems someone put Chapters 1 ~ 24 into a torrent and put it up on their tracker.

    I wonder if [Strays] knows about this…

  12. Johan December 26th, 2008 8:31 am

    Merci bp
    Thanks a lot :p

    I guess I should have asked this first, but do you guys mind me putting this up on E-hentai?

  14. wrh|ANCAK December 26th, 2008 12:10 pm

    Picky post-bot!!

    Thank you for another dose of deranged hilarity, I needed another installment of MB …

    (If you need occasional help with English proofing for grammar/spelling/punctuation, I’d be happy to help out …)

  15. Not_Log December 26th, 2008 1:23 pm

    I don’t really care as long as they’re the original files we distributed.

  16. Malekit December 26th, 2008 3:02 pm

    thxs for the wonderful gift of My Balls
    i hope all the staff had a nice x-mas ^^

  17. suiton December 26th, 2008 5:33 pm

    @Not_Log
    I haven’t downloaded that myself but I can’t comment on whether or not they altered the files in any way.

  18. Not_Log December 26th, 2008 7:02 pm

    I imagine AT can, though, seeing as he’s the one who asked.

  19. AT December 26th, 2008 7:28 pm

    None of the files have been messed with, at least not the ones I put up.

  20. Strong G December 26th, 2008 10:04 pm

  24. Rekoning December 28th, 2008 11:19 pm

    OMG 2 of the best mangas in the one release

    /me wets self

    <3

  25. suiton December 29th, 2008 6:40 am

    @Rekoning
    But we all know that “Ore Tama” is the superior one.

    HAR HAR HAR ;)

  26. requi3m December 29th, 2008 10:41 pm

    Hey Strays, I hope you had a good Christmas and have a happy new year! BTW Franky House released chapter 25 and they’ve offered to have this (My Balls) as a joint project.

  27. requi3m December 29th, 2008 10:42 pm

    I am in NO way related to FH…I just went to mangaupdates like every other NEET :)

  28. Rekoning December 29th, 2008 11:34 pm

    ban requi3m :P how could u go anywhere but here, :P start to finish is here not at the end tsk tsk

  29. Pandora December 30th, 2008 12:31 am

    I say you shouldnt do a joint with FH. If FH really wanted a joint, They woulda ASKED for one BEFORE they released a chapter. I say fuck them and their shitty LQ scans.

  30. Not_Log December 30th, 2008 12:57 am

    There will be no joint pretty much for the reasons Pandora stated already.

  31. nirv December 30th, 2008 2:10 am

    Thats good to hear. FH scan for mb and special chapter was poorly done and translated. fail.

  32. suiton December 30th, 2008 6:28 am

    @nirv
    I agree. But it was at least decent. It’s just that [strays] does a much better job with everything in the scanlation.

    I’m still wondering if the full volume version of this series will be done. I’m interested in maybe uncensoring (if they is any), higher quality pictures, maybe script edits/changes, etc.

  33. zindryr December 30th, 2008 7:24 pm

    @suiton:

    The images are largely the same. I noticed no uncensoring. The only thing you’d get would be slightly improved quality. I might revisit some of my translations but by and by they’re fairly solid. The only thing I’d change would be Elyse to Eris and Emmaniel to Emmanuelle. Those would be the only major changes.

  34. suiton December 31st, 2008 10:19 am

    I guess.

    But I would love to see a full volume type of version with changes to scripts, etc.

  35. suiton January 2nd, 2009 6:15 am

    http://manga-pot.info/nonbiri/

    25 & 26 are out by a group called nonbiri?

  36. Onsokumaru January 3rd, 2009 7:19 pm

    Franky House offered you a joint project? Will you guys accept? It could probably speed-up the scanlating and prevent overscanlation.

  37. Not_Log January 4th, 2009 6:47 am

    Frankyhouse can eat a bag of dicks. If they want to prevent overscanlation they can drop it as their translators can barely even read japanese as it is and there is no fucking way in hell I am giving them zind’s.

    Perhaps if
    A) one of their editors didn’t try to extort translations out of us
    and
    B) they knew how to clean
    but since A did happen and B will ever happen, a joint will never happen.

    Nonbiri also tried to do a joint but what they had to offer changed absolutely nothing so there was no point.

  38. suiton January 5th, 2009 12:44 pm

    @Not_Log
    Wow. Seems like you don’t like Frankyhouse nor Nonbiri much at all.

    =)

    It’s too bad for them that [strays] is the best (without a doubt) for Ore Tama.

  39. nirv January 5th, 2009 1:28 pm

    Ofcourse not, both fh and nonbiri just started doing it out of no where and then after they start releasing they go ahead and ask strays to join together etc. Not the best way to go around doing it. =/

  40. Malekit January 5th, 2009 3:12 pm

    Yeah, that’s right, they should ASK first then pseudo-translate AFTER
    …
    ..
    .

    .
    ..
    …
    they can suck My Balls (innuendo intended)

  41. zindryr January 5th, 2009 3:18 pm

    He doesn’t hate Nonbiri. Basically all they had to offer was a translation for the joint. Which Strays already has. So like he said, it wouldn’t change anything. Good cleaning is the backup, as it takes some time.

  42. Agua January 6th, 2009 6:10 am

    Six days later, I´ve dropped here to say Happy New Year… I saw FH and Nobiri releases in Tokyotosho, but I didn´t know anything else about offers so reading all comments has been entertaining :P

  43. Mencius January 8th, 2009 10:19 pm

    Woot two great releases. Ore Tama is most likely the greater of the two, indeed.
    @ Malekit, suiton, etc. (mainly everybody):
    I also agree with you, if they offer a joint after doing the product, and the finished product is crap, it’s not worth it.

  44. johan January 26th, 2009 11:23 pm

    not to seem ungrateful for your work wish i love i was wondering if you knew around when you might be releasing another chapter of jackals thanks for the work you guys do also its all really good quality i love coming here for releases

  45. sinjatorix September 1st, 2009 8:46 am

    Hello and thanks for his work with this manhwa, I have only a question for you: officially is dead Jackals for you?
    >°<

  46. Not_Log September 7th, 2009 4:11 pm

    Jackals will be continued as soon as a translator who wishes to do it contacts me or ggpx.
