RacieB, Dipsacus and I have been working on translating the Telefang manga!
We've just released the first chapter.

http://manga.telefang.net/

The text for chapters 2 and 3 is also already translated, but the images still need editing. You can expect something soonish.

I'm working more on ch2 edits also, the first page was the hardest one what with all the text overlapping art but that's done with!

This is so awesome. This is the first time I'm actually reading the manga myself. Cheers to everybody involved.

I thought that the translation of the first chapter was released, like, over a year ago on this thread:

I admit that there are a couple new pages translated, but they seem to be introductory pages rather than part of the first chapter.

Don't get me wrong: I appreciate the translation and the effort all of you put into it; it just seems a bit anti-climactic for the big release to include only a couple newly translated pages.

Lots of stuff has been tweaked / retranslated / etc, also it's more that the release is public now and is having regular work done on it rather than sitting in the projects pile for ages :F

Man, I kinda forgot that it got released, haha. I did know that the previous project was pretty much not going to make any further progress though. But yeah, I just started the translation from scratch. Seemed like a better idea at the time for various reasons (consistency, getting used to it, being able to redo the pages).

Text-wise it's further along than the old one and still making progress. I'm definitely not abandoning this, though be aware that I'm also juggling things with the Telefang 2 translation and another unrelated ROM translation. :)

So, I just noticed that the second chapter of the manga was translated, but no announcement was made. Why? It seems like all the effort that was being used to translate the games is being used to translate the manga, so at least that should be kept up to date, right?

I think we did do an announcement but it was mainly on Tumblr (did we seriously forget to do one here too? lol wow) I actually plan on going back over ch1 with DaVince's fixed script soon, re-editing pages and such. Maybe we'll also get ch3 done...?

Well, I don't blame you for not making the announcement here since hardly anyone posts here anymore. I guess it would be better for me to follow one of the Tumblr accounts instead of coming here; which account should I follow for translation updates (the games and the manga)?
