Is anyone else (other than Kakashi Guy) going to scanlate this? I want at least a MQ release (I consider that release LQ) That...ugh...didn't even put the double pages together =T

Cause the series looks interesting...

I'm working on it, done the cleans, typesets and redraws left.

Btw, I get a feeling that when I read this series, I'm kinda feel like I'm reading Rave, or MAR...

I liked the first chapter but I do not know if this will remain my cup of tea. Strangely but I have never been into tournament manga. I do like fighting manga but I do hope this will be more an adventure to the big tournament. If it'll go that way then I'll see myself enjoying and reading this

 

[luffy_boy]

Are there already people working on an english translation/ Edited Manga of chapter 2/3 ?

 

[Ju-da-su]

Translation of chapter 2 is done for quite a while now though. Translation of chapter 3 will come once I can clear my schedule, and probably after someone scanlate the second chapter.

As for Edited Manga status, maybe ask those who did the first chapter? They should be able to at least give a lot better answer than I can regarding that.

 

[Koen]

Caught up with latest chapters. I like this. There's not much in-depth but the story itself is really interesting. I like these fights and I definitely look forward to what this manga will bring to us in the near future. I'd like to see how the boss will react to their first loss. Anyway, don't trust these maffia

Does anyone know what the licensing issues are with this manga at the moment? Hopefully nothing that will affect it for too long!

Kodansha requested that all the manga under their names are taken down. No one know for how long will it stays like this (rather, whether it will EVER be up on here again for raw and Edited Mangas). Hope this answer you question.

...Godd that translations are unaffected...

 

[dbgohan08]

how come this doesn't come out on raw-paradise

 

[Zilmus]

So, Flags is stopped still?
I almos cry, is a good manga , or was...

 

[Akiyama]

It's not allow on MH because it's published by Kodansha.

The scans are still coming out, just go to Ala Atra Scans.

 

[unok-kun]

Actually, FLAGS did get cancelled... Ala Atra is now getting back on the last chapters, but the last chapter is chapter 8, so there's just two left...

 

[sabret00the]

Cancelled after only eight chapters? Ouch!

 

[p1xel]

OMG NOES cancelled?!!It could be good story...but it was a lil boring but it was just a beginning
