Manga archival projects Anonymous 04/19/2023 (Wed) 15:41:14 No. 3122
Ciao, /a/nons, I was in the process of updating my collection of manga since I don't read much but have always wanted to at least own as many scanlated books as possible. I'm currently sitting at 700ish downloaded titles, most of them are incomplete due to the usual drop of interest by the scanlators but a sizable chunk should be all the classics and the niche hits. I was wondering if you guys would be so nice as to suggest to me a bunch more. Not just "what you're reading right now", it's more about getting a comprehensive list of the most important, fun, interesting or historically significant manga you know of. If they have an anime adaptation that surpasses the simple "the manga but they speak" a la Ping Pong or the Jojos, then I'll be more than happy to also add that to my list. I've got about 4 TBs more of space, so help me fill 'em up.
I'd recommend archiving Go Nagai's works if possible (probably the ones on the more lewder side and/or the spinoffs since I think ones like Getter Robo, Mazinger, and Devilman probably all have good scans and quality already) , and Fist of the North Star.
>>3123 Thanks. Can you be more specific with which titles you think are worth archiving the most? I have several, but since I use a mix of nyaa, wikis and sites like mangadex I'd like to have the opinion of actual fans before grabbing stuff. I also have access to madokami, so if it's stuff that can't be found elsewhere I can just go there and grab it.

You got fist of the north star? Kind of an obvious recommendation but you should have it.

I enjoyed Pui Pui! but could only find English translations for the first seven chapters, dunno if the mangaka ever finished the series or if it just never finished being translated. If anyone does find the whole series in English I'd like to know about it.
Please save a spot for Nana in there, it's a manga that successfully kept me engaged and craving for the next chapter; drama and romance at it's worst, safe to say it is one of my favorite stories out there. It does have an anime adaptation with the songs being a huge plus, but if you're like me and appreciate the art style then go for the manga first. I won't spoil anything about it, but don't worry if the manga is unfinished, it has more than enough to keep you entertained while also giving a proper hanger to the first half of the manga. Also keep this song handy for setting up the mood, you'll know when to play it https://yewtu.be/watch?v=_keSnzCoG60

Ended up making a list, consider I downloaded everything in here plus what they suggested me on https://8chan.moe/av/res/22936.html (I have to resort to hotlinking because for some reason it points to the loli thread otherwise) Haven't properly updated it cause I'm getting my ass kicked on vidya in the mean time >>3145 Thank you, I already have it but it's a good reminder. >>3168 Madokami has an 8th chapter up, here, have it. https://anonfiles.com/U7iaR8ocz4/Puipui_v02_c08_zip >>3177 Thank you! It's currently on my Tachiyomi list of stuff I have already downloaded and wish to read asap, shame the series is apparently left in a limbo but considering I've read stuff in much worse state I don't mind
>>3122 One manga that I've searched for (quality) scans of for years with little luck has been Desert Punk (砂ぼうず). The anime was a decent hit with a Funimation dub back before they were pure cancer, but the manger is a lot rarer. I've heard it more or less goes to shit after the bits the anime adapted, but I've still always wanted to read it, and I consider it a pretty important series for its time. I doubt anyone is that into it now, but it was once quite popular. I'd also be interested if you've found any HQ scans of the early One Piece volumes. My old NULL scans of the first 15 volumes are lowres. I'd be surprised if you didn't have One Piece but getting the best scans requires patching together releases from a few different major groups over the years, many of which probably no longer exist online. Is there any chance you'd be willing to upload your collection somewhere? I lost a lot of my old scans a decade ago in a hard drive move and I'd be interested in getting the whole thing to restart.
