[Ongoing] Tegami-bachi by Asada Hiroyuki

rhyuho · June 13, 2007, 08:16 PM

I was just wondering if anybody new anything about this title i think its a fairly recent addition to monthly shonen jump

Asidian · July 06, 2007, 07:48 AM

I've picked up the first two volumes in Japanese, and the art style is very pretty indeed. I'd love to see this series get scanlated. ^_^

ThE WoRm · July 06, 2007, 12:41 PM

Well, Asakura asked me to do it a long while ago, but he didn't give me raws for it ^^"

The first chapter is 120 pages...

Noodles Loves You · July 07, 2007, 03:35 PM

WOW! and to make a point, its popular enough to make the jump(hehe) to jump square, so it must be pretty damn good.

anyone know a basic sumamry?

Asidian · July 30, 2007, 06:53 AM

It seems- without me having hammered out a full translation, but just by skimming- to be about a boy named Lagu/Ragu, whose goal is to become a tegamibachi- a "letter bee", or someone whose purpose is to deliver important mail. Hereafter, I'm calling him Lagu, because Ragu reminds me of pasta. >_> In any case, when he was quite young, he was befriended by one of the tegamibachi and he was so down upon his luck and so grateful for the attention and help that he wanted to do the same when he got older.

This backstory takes up most of the first volume, but toward the end is several years later, when he meets a young girl named Nicchi who's being kept prisoner; she is not human, and presumed dangerous. At first, he takes on the task of delivering her as a "package" as he's asked- but in the end, they give the people who'd kept her there their just desserts and take to traveling together. In the second volume, he and Nicchi go about attempting to make sure a particularly important letter gets where it needs to be.

Since it's a Jump series, there's of course weird magic and monsters and lots of action in addition to the pretty art. ^_^

I can share pictures, but I haven't got a scanner so I can't provide raws. >:

Volume one cover.

Volume two cover.

Lagu is saved in the first volume by his role model.

But he grows up to be pretty cool in his own right.

Later, Nicchi finally gives Lagu her name.

And finally, Nicchi watches the memories of Lagu's (angsty) childhood.

damned that manga seems really cool

sadly it's not scanlated or licensed

Noodles Loves You · July 30, 2007, 01:08 PM

I really wanna see this touched by viz or scanlators. from what he just said and what ive seen, this looks fantastic

fkeidjn · August 01, 2007, 02:41 AM

Any raws for it?

Noodles Loves You · August 01, 2007, 05:03 AM

thats probably a question best made for the raw request thread.

either way, i think this must be pretty popular, to make it to jump^2

fkeidjn · August 02, 2007, 01:35 AM

If there aren't any raws for this, then I might get volumes 1 and 2 to scan (hopefully soon when my scanner is fixed).
