Art DGM Volume Covers Thread

[practically]

I've never quite cleaned for others, I guess, but I think I would know what I was doing? I usually just make edits for Tumblr, but I use Japanese raws for those and try my hand at it then ( / ; u/

Color foldout? My scans seem to be a few shades bluer than yours, I'm not sure if I did something wrong on these school scanners! @w@

The scanner you have doesn't seem to be very colour-accurate. o ~o When I scanned it in, I took literally hours cleaning out the dust, prevented over-levelling, and colour-corrected a ton of it, and I was so excited to show people, but people are saying "ally already uploaded it". Oh well, you beat me to it, I guess... Your post already has 100+ notes, and mine has 5. Lol... this always happens. Sigh.

Insert up!

Thanks for the scans! They are gorgeous and the insert is so

 

[andrewsungchehau]

OMG, the back cover is awesome and cute at the same time!!! xD
I really miss D Gray Man. I'm glad there's at least volume cover to entertain me for now.
Thanks for the awesome volume pictures!!! xD

 

[mahsanaru]

;w; I'm honestly sorry! Your scans are done with a far more practiced hand, and everything I've put up has been rushed out of laziness and excitement. Give your post a little time to spread, it's high quality work! ( / ; o; )/ I feel like I actually learned quite a bit about color adjustment and cleaning by looking at the full view of your scans!

Skritchy scratchy thank you page, though I'm also tired and think I'd finish going over the lines in the morning.
Never mind! Friday night visitors kept me from sleeping, so I cleaned up the lines and hopefully it looks better now!

Alternate cover: Tim and Nea

Spoiler: full cover (tiny version)

Volume tittle: Near you

was this cover not with the volume??? i thought it was supposed to the back page :S

 

[Kalyra]

So lovely, the coloring is really nice. Damn I want that volume.

This cover comes with Jump SQ 12, like a gift. You need to buy the magazine to have it

 

[verduister]

Ooh, right, the images are resized if they're too big...
But anyway, the new inside pages! There are interviews with the same characters in between every chapter, and there's a foldout with little Allen sleeping against Cross! If any translators want to take an early first look at those, I'd be happy to try to take clear photos before scans shoot up? ;u;

I haven't felt this happy in a long time, I'm so glad I bought it!

Oooh I'd like to translate these~~ I'd be grateful if you could take photo's of those interviews.

EDIT:

Spoiler

They're introducing themselves for the talk corner. Tyki's introduction though… lol

"I'm the idol Noah who loves boys and black&white, big brother Tyki (reading in monotone voice). Oi, what's with this disgusting introduction!"

 

[kannazuki]

These are all so lovely, thank you all! I can also help with translations if needed.

 

[Baniita]

; v; I got the bonus cover scaaaan! I'll clean it after I eat and stuff. u vu

 

[practically]

Imgur album of the interviews, just for until your finished interviews are done, Baniita? ouo

For some reason, some entire sections were chopped, so I took a photo of the last section instead of walking another ten minutes to and from the scanner in the dining hall. =v=;; I really need to look into why black doesn't scan in as black with this machine, too, because the kanji looks smudged in a lot of places (and hence, the photos). I'm brightening the photos and still uploading them, but I'll be done in a tick!

ETA: Done!

 

[verduister]

Thanks, practically! <3

I translated the first talk corner:

Spoiler: Komui's Talk Corner #1

Komui's Talk Corner #1

ALLEN: Long time no see! This talk corner has Komui's name on it but he won't be appearing! We received a card saying 'I want you to do the talk corner again'. We'll be chatting a lot for the first time in a long time! We have lots of guests this time☆

KANDA: Tch. Which bastard wrote he wants another one of these corners…

JOHNNY: I'm Johnny Gill, a former scientist of the 1st Science Division~! This is my first time appearing in this corner~~

WISELY: I'm the demon eye Noah, Wisely (winks☆).

TYKI: I'm the idol Noah who loves boys and black&white, big brother Tyki (reading in monotone voice). Oi, what's with this disgusting introduction!

WISELY: The Millenium Earl wrote it especially for the unmotivated you.

JOHNNY: Waaaah! Noaaaaahs!? (panics)

ALLEN: W-wait a second! Why are you here!? I'm sure I called Lavi!!

WISELY: Rejoice, 14th. Bookman Jr. is busy right now. We came in his stead.

ALLEN: Don't call me 14th!! (angry)

JOHNNY: C-c-c-calm down, Allen! The corner will break if you fight here! Postcards! Let's read the postcards! Okay!? I'll read them! Ehm…

QUESTION: The Noahs seem to always be lazing around yet they have good bodies. Do they go to the gym or something?

WISELY: Look, the first question is directed at us! You should feel lucky we're here~♡

ALLEN: (irritated).

JOHNNY: Allen, look! Mitarashi-dango's* ♡ Head Chef Jeryy made them~♡ (nervous)
[*Mitarashi-dango's are skewered rice dumplings in a sweet soy glaze]

ALLEN: (chewing) …I guess it can't be helped. I'll turn a blind eye to the Noahs' tyranny.

KANDA: You really are weak to food, huh…

ALLEN: Excuuuse me. I haven't had any decent food since I left the Order!!!

TYKI: What's that, boy? Just ask the Earl and he'll take you to Mitsuboshi restaurant, you know?

ALLEN: M-mitsuboshi…!? L-l-l-like I'd go!! B-b-b-by the way, do you always get to eat such good food!!?

JOHNNY: Allen…

KANDA: Moyashi, you're drooling.

WISELY: We're nobles after all~~. We have our meals to thank for our beautiful bodies ♡

TYKI: You were homeless just a while ago though, Wisely.

ALLEN: That's like the pot calling the kettle black, isn't it? (cold eyes)

WISELY: Joido… Tyki is a noble when he's a Noah. Besides, when our bodies reawaken as Noahs, we are reborn down to our cells so we go a little beyond human norms.

JOHNNY: S-so you're saying you become superhuman…?

WISELY: Yes. By the way, we age slowly. We have young bodies for a long time. That's why Noahs are beautiful and have good bodies.

ALLEN: No one said you were beautiful, though.

TYKI: We move plenty. High society parties and the like are a real pain in the ass. The Earl is always saying: "Turning down marriage proposals has become a pain so can't you try getting married? (smile)"! That's no laughing matter! I wanna laze around!! Do you know how long it's been since I've met up with the guys at the mines!!

WISELY: Dezaiasu is always whining "do this" and "do that", hmm. I loathe parties----!!!

JOHNNY: Noahs also have it hard, huh… I can relate.

ALLEN: But you get to eat Mitsuboshi, right.

KANDA: That's what you're focusing on..?

TYKI & WISELY: The Earl's hamburgers are a hundred times tastier than Mitsuboshi.

ALLEN: Hah! Jeryy's food is much tastier!! Uhh… no good, just remembering him makes me cry… I want to see Jeryy…! (cries)

JOHNNY: Allen! I can't match up to the Head Chef but I can at least make hamburgers, so don't cryyyy (infected by Allen's crying)

KANDA: …. (You're all pains in the neck.)

It's late here so I'll do the rest tomorrow

 

[practically]

Thank you so much verd! (ﾉ≧∀≦)ﾉ

ALLEN, BBY, DON'T CRY. I think I saw a question at the start of the third corner about Marie and Miranda, and this first question was already so perfect. I can't wait! >v<

 

[Baniita]

... /: I sent my own scans to kannazuki already.
Because you didn't scan it as greyscale. Even then, levelling is required after (unless you levelled during the scan, but I find that doing that risks overlevelling).

Thanks for the translations, verduister.

"Moyashi, you're drooling." kANDA STOP.

 

[kannazuki]

Oh damn, I just translated #1 too. I'll check with verduister before I do anymore of them...

I finished translating the second corner~ (tumblr post)

Spoiler: Komui's Talk Corner #2

Komui's Talk Corner #2

QUESTION: Where did Kanda stole the clothes he wore when returning to the Order in volume 22 from?

KANDA: Tch…

JOHNNY: They're assuming you stole them… (forced smile)

ALLEN: Well, this is Kanda we're talking about. He never has money on him. So, who did you stole them from?

TYKI: I've been wondering this for a while, but are you and this Kanda boy on bad terms?

WISELY: Kanda Yuu didn't steal the clothes. They were given to him.

KANDA: !!

ALLEN & JOHNNY: Huh..?

KANDA: Bastard… You peeked into my head, didn't you!!! (unsheathes sword)

TYKI: Ah, sorry. He's just that kind of guy.

WISELY: The demon eye is my selling point after all. I feel no need to hold back when it comes to Exorcists' brains.

ALLEN & KANDA: You bastard…!

JOHNNY: Given to you. Don't tell me you were financed by some woman like General Cross?

WISELY: Something like that. He even received meals off her. Must be nice to be a lady-killer~~

ALLEN: I'm disappointed in you, Kanda! A true man can at least earn his own meals!!!

KANDA: Hah? Who cares. I only accepted her meals and clothes because she forced them on me. When I beat the small fry in the area, that old hag…

JOHNNY: Old hag?

KANDA: Ugh, shut up! Who gives a damn anyway!!!

QUESTION: Allen became a clown like Mana. Did he also have Mana's clown tools?

TYKI: Yeah, that wig. The bald one.

ALLEN: Please don't call it bald. It was simply a wig. After leaving the Order, I stopped by Mother's* house. The tools which Mana left in her care were there so I took them with me. I didn't have a single penny on me because I was a runaway, but as a street performer I could make money anywhere. And the make-up would hide my identity. I'm a world of difference from my shameless Master and Kanda.
[*That old woman in chapter 206]

KANDA: You've got to take what you can when you have no money.

ALLEN: I'm sorry. I can't be friends with someone who thinks like that, sorry (gives a disdainful look).

KANDA: (He ticks me off.)

JOHNNY: But Allen's clown act was really good! What is your best trick?

WISELY: Acrobatics, right? He was forced into a cage with a beast once, so it seems he's too scared to do wild-animal-tamer acts nowadays.

ALLEN: Please don't answer questions by using your demon eye!!!

QUESTION: Did Allen get money through cheating at gambling when he was on the run?

JOHNNY: Did you!?

ALLEN: I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

KANDA: Bastard, even though you were talking all high-and-mighty two seconds ago… tch.

WISELY: He's been banned from quite a few gambling houses.

TYKI: Scary! You're a dangerous boy, living like that at the mere age of 16~~

ALLEN: Please don't underestimate the hardships of a runaway. It's best to keep as many money-making opportunities open as possible.

JOHNNY: That's no good, Allen! You'll catch the eye of scary people like the mafia!

ALLEN: I'm fine. This world knows no scarier human than Master.

TYKI: What kind of image do you have of that man…

LINK: You're the main character, although barely. Keep in the mind the sensitive age that your readers are at!

ALLEN: (shocked) …Huh? Did you say something just now…? (nervous)

JOHNNY: Hn? I didn't say anything.

ALLEN: I-I think I heard a voice from somewhere…

Kanda: ……

Allen, you hypocrite
