Strays

New Site

Well if you’re here you may or may not have noticed we have a new site and proper domain now. Update your bookmarks to http://straysscans.net or you won’t be able to get to us again as of Sunday!

Report any broken links on pages after Sept. 2007 in this post. Anything before then I haven’t bothered to fix yet. All links should be fixed, report broken ones here.

edit: We were not directly responsible for MU’s complete purge of our series. I informed them that they needed to update the links changing strays.vnmanga.com to straysscans.net or purge them, they chose to purge them.

    Well, I’m glad that you are continuing your work. And I really took a liking in Jackals, and if I’m left without Vagabond I will die.

  2. Dante February 12th, 2009 7:51 am

    I’d die without My Balls!

  3. Malekit February 12th, 2009 10:39 am

    With me that makes two, Dante

    As a Vagabond fan, I was dazzled when you guys stopped releasing Vagabond (your namesake’s series) and instead went for low-quality half-assed hentai like My Balls. Months passed and eventually others picked up were you left. I still had hopes for Strays, but the time has eaten it all. Well, I think I got it wrong, as the more “popular” trash manga like My balls got you too busy for real manga. At least I can take this as a consolation:

    I’m no fan of FH, but the point is made: now you don’t even have that piece of crap. Change your name, or prove me wrong. Either is fine.

  5. johan February 14th, 2009 1:02 pm

    personally I like many of the series you have picked up Jackals especially, though vagabond is one of my favorite mangas I’m looking forward to the releases you put out later

  6. Not_Log February 14th, 2009 5:43 pm

    Listen here, since you seem to be unable to read. WE DO NOT HAVE A TRANSLATOR FOR VAGABOND. IF YOU WISH TO READ FURTHER CHAPTERS OF VAGABOND FIND US A FUCKING TRANSLATOR.

    This is not that fucking complex an issue. I’m also not going to change our name or release a bunch of chapters just because leech who doesn’t even have the balls to use a real name or email address tells us to.

    edit: and it’s not like nobody’s working on them. There’s 6 or 7 chapters waiting for translations, ready otherwise.

    if only i had known of the site change sooner…
    Leecher#468423: go fall off a cliff and writhe in extreme pain without a chance of death or fainting for your idiotic comment. “Well, I think I got it wrong, as the more ‘popular’ trash manga like My balls got you too busy for real manga.” just because it is popular, and yes, it’s pretty damn perverted, doesn’t mean it’s bad.
    look at the title! if the title wasn’t related to the content, what would it be about? Puppies living in a happy household full of care and no sex? if you continue with that logic, it would be like saying Companion sucks cause it’s about dead people!
    Malekit: glad to see you’re back.
    Dante: [see comment for Malekit; if this doesn't apply to you... ignore this]
    Not_Log: dude… calm down.
    haha, you said balls.

  8. Dante February 15th, 2009 11:29 pm

    Ah, Mencius, the feeling is mutual.

  9. Night February 17th, 2009 1:33 am

    good luck with the new site and best of luck finding a translator

  10. Dante February 17th, 2009 2:19 am

    Quite sadly I only translate from Chinese into English.

  11. Malekit February 17th, 2009 3:20 pm

    Mencius:Thxs dude
    Leecher#468423:i hope u die a terrible but long lasting, let’s say 20 years, death by a serious case of Hemorrhoid’s cancer (^ ^)
    Not_Log:well said!

  12. Mencius February 17th, 2009 9:45 pm

    well, since i have almost nothing to do and need a new manga, anybody know where i can find Vagabond, up to the chapters Strays has released?

  13. N February 19th, 2009 7:39 pm

    I think the link for Inner Revolution is broken.

  14. Not_Log February 20th, 2009 3:00 am

    Yeah, it was, fixed.

  15. suiton February 21st, 2009 5:53 am

    Ah~ So that’s what happened. I’ve been clicking on the old webpage this whole time and decided to check out MangaUpdates to see if the website changed.

    Long behold it did.

    =D

    Congratz on getting a new site.

  16. Not_Log February 21st, 2009 3:56 pm

    lo and behold, fwiw.

  17. Malekit February 25th, 2009 2:45 pm

    It’s nice to have a new website and all but i hope releases get soon updated too ^^

  18. stabby February 25th, 2009 8:49 pm

    Phew.. scared me when your website wouldn’t load. Glad that it’s just a relocate :) Hope you can find more staff soon!

  19. nx6 February 26th, 2009 5:24 pm

    Scared me, too. But happy to see you’re still here and working.

  20. kakashi February 27th, 2009 6:52 am

    i’m happy to see you guys back here… but it’s been awhile since i’ve seen my balls… =(

  21. assman654321 February 27th, 2009 9:00 am

    what’s happening to My Balls, dudes??!!

  22. mjm202036 February 27th, 2009 10:10 pm

    I’m thankful for Google. I was worried you guys got tired of scanlations. Thank you for all the trouble you go through (and idiots like leechter) to post them. This lurker enjoys your dedication and I hope you find the apparently much needed translators. Thanks again.

  23. Not_Log February 27th, 2009 11:49 pm

    I haven’t been able to work for a while but when I get a chance to again I’m hoping we can get a bunch of stuff out at once.

  24. Mencius February 28th, 2009 12:05 am

    yay! promises of many hours of enjoyment with My Balls!
    take that however you wish to take it.

  25. Dante February 28th, 2009 1:10 am

    Hm…I hope someone could translate My Balls real soon…I’m dying for My Balls to be translated…

  26. Not_Log February 28th, 2009 10:08 pm

    I’m not zindryr so it’s not a translation issue, clearly.

  27. absolute_ecstasy February 28th, 2009 10:09 pm

    must have…jackals….
    so excited for a ‘bunch of stuff’ out at once

    thanks :D
    my heart stopped for a moment :(

  28. suiton March 1st, 2009 5:20 am

    “I haven’t been able to work for a while but when I get a chance to again I’m hoping we can get a bunch of stuff out at once.”

    That is some good news but it’s not a guarantee.

    Eh, we’re getting these chapters for free so I don’t care as long as it is released eventually.

    =D

    I’d rather have the pages well scanlated and whatnot rather than a rush job.

  29. Dante March 1st, 2009 6:13 am

    Hm? Then what is the issue with My Balls then?

  30. Mencius March 1st, 2009 9:10 am

    “Not_Log – Cleaner, QC”
    -from the wiki.

  31. Dante March 1st, 2009 10:07 am

    Hm…so they need cleaners and quality control for My Balls eh…if I could be of any help, could you tell me what programs are needed?

  32. Not_Log March 2nd, 2009 12:14 am

    Photoshop is all you need for everything we do. Not even that if you translate.

  33. Malekit March 3rd, 2009 4:53 pm

    Maybe i could apply for a cleaner position… can you tell me which tools inside photoshop i should use? or at least a quick guide in photoshop to clean pages?

    i’m a newbie with photoshop

  34. Not_Log March 3rd, 2009 5:36 pm

    The brush, a new layer, and nothing else. Redraws you will need other tools but really you don’t need anything but the brush for basic cleaning.

  35. Jammer March 4th, 2009 5:28 am

    hi Strays, I’d like to scanl the last chapters of KoT – can you link me to any translations or a translator that is willing to do the last volume? We can do it as a collaboration or in some other acceptable way.
    Please answer whether you’re interested or not cause if you’re not, and you’re not planning to scanlate it soon, I’ll try my luck by posting a request for a translation on MH. You can contact me on the e-mail I provided, too.

  36. Not_Log March 4th, 2009 6:36 am

    Jammer we already have cleans and translations but I really doubt you will find a translator willing to do a series that has already been licensed and fully released in english.

  37. Jammer March 4th, 2009 7:19 am

    oops, didn’t know it’s licensed… it’s a pity not being completed, though
    well, would you mind making the translations public then, if you’re not going to use them for scanlations – AFAIK license counts only for the same type of media – i.e. if you’re going to release in manga format and just the text-only translation it’s not a problem

    this way people (like myself-> buying a few manga volumes is quite the luxury, and I not mean because of the crisis or shit, there are countries where this is just not an option) could have some way of seeing how the series ends (and yeah, sorry for getting so … erm “social” here >.<)

  38. Not_Log March 4th, 2009 4:10 pm

    We just need someone to QC it, also proofs. Ballzy and Luco intend on finishing it as far as I know.

  39. Not_Log March 4th, 2009 9:45 pm

    I warned you suiton and I will keep marking your comments as spam if you keep doing it :I

  40. Jammer March 5th, 2009 3:25 am

    oh, so you’re going to release the last volume, cool – looking forward to it; I can help with QC and proofreading if you need some help to speed things up

  41. Mencius March 5th, 2009 10:01 pm

    i don’t believe suiton’s comment was spam…
    if i get some extra time this weekend, i’d be happy to help proofread and QC KoT or My Balls; but as i said, if i get some extra time i’ll do it

  42. Not_Log March 5th, 2009 10:38 pm

    He knows why, rather than punish everyone I’ll just mark them as spam so he loses his voice on the blog. It’s not like I was asking him to move the earth, just stop being a weeaboo.

    If you want to proof get in contact with yal probably through the forums but through mangahelpers or irc if you wish. He should be in illuminati-manga’s room.

  43. Tofu March 9th, 2009 7:20 am

    Oi! The new releases sidebar thing is not updated!(or broken)

  44. Dante March 9th, 2009 8:47 am

    It has not been updated for a very long time already…

  45. Not_Log March 10th, 2009 2:25 am

    Sidebar is broken and must be updated by hand, it was broken after we were hacked.

  46. suiton March 10th, 2009 6:25 pm

    @Not_Log
    The site got hacked?

    Hopefully nothing bad happened.

  47. Not_Log March 10th, 2009 7:54 pm

    This was almost a year ago.

    Like 500 wordpress blogs that weren’t updated got hacked, we basically lost all the backend stuff and we had to restore it with really old backups. Nobody obviously noticed.

  48. suiton March 11th, 2009 3:04 am

    Well, that’s good to know that you guys didn’t permanently lose everything and had to start all over.

  49. suiton March 16th, 2009 4:39 am

    So I take it that we’re not gonna get any releases for a while longer?

  50. johan March 16th, 2009 2:56 pm

    I was wondering if you knew around when jackals might be released again I’m in no hurry I was just curious

  51. Not_Log March 16th, 2009 5:12 pm

    Jackals will be released as soon as there’s a translation I imagine. :I

    There won’t be any releases until I get a mouse that clicks once when I click once instead of 4 times.

  52. suiton March 16th, 2009 6:06 pm

    So a computer mouse is the problem?

    >_>

  53. Dokuro no Kishi March 16th, 2009 7:28 pm

    I don’t mind waiting but I hope the translations won’t be as bad as the last couple of chapters… half of the dialogues didn’t make sense.

  54. Dokuro no Kishi March 16th, 2009 8:11 pm

    …or at least did’t sound like very natural english.

  55. johan March 16th, 2009 9:23 pm

    great thanks a lot for the update it’s very much appreciated

  56. Not_Log March 16th, 2009 10:16 pm

    yes If I can’t select anything or fix any errors what am I supposed to do? stare at the files until they correct themselves?

  57. suiton March 17th, 2009 1:24 pm

    You could go buy a new mouse? I thought they weren’t that expensive. You should be able to get a decent one for about $20 ~ $30.

  58. The Wolfkin March 17th, 2009 2:14 pm

    i had no idea you needed cleaners/QC for my balls. that’s right i had no idea my balls needed cleaning. I have the skillz but not the time.. curses. I wish you luck. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen my balls and quite frankly I miss it.

  59. Not_Log March 17th, 2009 8:43 pm

    Buying a new mouse would require having money, you know :I

    Yeah wolfkin we do. App’s on the forums or give me some old psds.

  60. suiton March 18th, 2009 10:21 am

    Yes. I realize.

    But you don’t have $20 or $30 that you can use (credit card, debit card, cash)?

    You could always borrow a mouse.

  61. nirv March 18th, 2009 9:51 pm

    he probably does, but if it was me with that $20, $30 i would probably have a tonne of other things that it would go to other than a mouse.

  62. Mencius March 19th, 2009 6:36 pm

    I think Not_Log hasn’t gotten his pay from his job yet, because he says he has no money.
    I’d mail you my mouse if I had another one to use instead…

  63. Not_Log March 19th, 2009 9:03 pm

    lol credit

  64. suiton March 20th, 2009 4:26 am

    In honor of the 64th post without a release (in a while), here’s a video.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFlcqWQVVuU

  65. johan March 20th, 2009 5:39 pm

    lol greatest video i think that kid loved his gift a little to much

  66. suiton March 21st, 2009 8:12 am

    I think it’s about we got some releases or at least a heads up on what’s been going on.

    >_>

  67. johan March 21st, 2009 6:20 pm

    they just gave us an update like 15 posts ago he said that his mouse wasn’t working so he couldn’t release now

  68. HInto March 24th, 2009 12:36 pm

    May be “My Balls” are in my wife’s purse since I haven’t seen them here lately.
