Note to all scanlators: If you recently started scanlating a new manga series (with about 5 or less chapters released) and would like your manga to be shouted out in the next New Manga Shout Out, then please PM me. Please include:
- The name of the manga series
- A summary of the series
- Publishing Status (+ Number of Volumes/Chapters)
My opinion:
Golden Kamui - If you're interested in reading a manga with an alternative historical adventure setting, then you may want to check it out. Although the description sort of made me think of a gold rush...
Shiratama-kun - If you're in the mood for a slice of life manga with a talking cat as a classmate, then this is the manga for you.
Oshiete! Gyaruko-chan - If you like slice of life manga in a school setting with girls dealing with issues, then you may want to check this out instead. This one actually has some scanlations out.
