Manga: Shamo

[Munsu]

Since the "Gotwoot Reading the same manga" thread was going nowhere, I took the liberty of anouncing two new winners with the little votes we had... I'm gonna create a new thread for the next poll to see if we can revive this effort...

Anyways, this is the fourth winner Shamo

Hopefully some of you'll start reading this so we can discuss it...

[Hakeem_21]

Have you read Shamo yet?

I have read all the chaps that has been realesed. The way life has been to Ryo has been interesting to read.

[Munsu]

i read the first couple of chapters...

Now this is one fucked up story so far... I don't know where it is going, but I'll keep reading it...

[Munsu]

Alright, I've kept on reading... And this has become one of my favorite mangas of all time... It's pretty good... Amazing fights, fucked up storylines, and one kickass main character, I love him...

People you should really start reading this...


Anyone else reading this by any chance? I'm currently starting volume 10

[Hakeem_21]

Im reading this but there havent been a new chapter since 25 of augusti. Im on chapter 111-112-

Ryo journey has been a good one to read, sick at most times but still i feel so much for him. How badly cards he has been dealt. Going from a genius student to lowlife gangster.

[Munsu]

Yeah, I just caught up... freaking piss of shit groups, why aren't they releasing? Give me more Shamo, I'm hooked.

[Hakeem_21]

Hehe i was like that too i checked for new chapter everyday but after a couple of months i gave up hope. Shitty group how can they give up on it now.

Shamo is one my all time fav too. I havent read so disturbing in a good way manga. The jail time was almost to much for me. I hope for a new chapter and hope Ryo kicks "the genius" ass bigtime.

[Munsu]

It seems like they don't have a translator at the moment or something... I hope they can work something out cause I really got hooked to this manga.

[Munsu]

Fucking nice, they just released up to chapter 117

[kAi]

Added the chapters to MangaTraders.com (http://www.mangatraders.com/)

[Munsu]

Humm, they actually released up to 120... good shit...

[Hakeem_21]

Talk about the devil i was sad cause i missed Ryo and now here he is i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif

[Munsu]

121-125 now released...

I'll upload it to MT later.

There you go.

[Munsu]

Up to 131 is now out...

I hope they finish the fight in these chapters...

[Munsu]

Just read up to 156...

Last couple of chapters have been a bit boring, but an awesome fight should start from this chapter on.

[rockmanj]

Just started reading this one...that Ryo...he's interesting. Reminds me a lot of the American fiction novel "Native Son".

[Munsu]

Well, I just caught up to the latest chapter of volume 22... don't know what to make of the latest plot. I enjoyed the early volumes of this series, but the latest ones have been too slow and uneventful. Hopefully they'll start fighting nonstop soon.

[rockmanj]

When are they released? And even though I dont like that Toma dude, i'm looking forward to Ryo smashing his shit.

[Munsu]

There's no normal release rate, they release when they're done... usually takes a while, and then they release in bunches.

[Munsu]

M-S just released up to chapter v23 chaper 31:

Hopefully we'll start seeing some cool fights within these chapters.

[rockmanj]

New chapters out! Check Onemanga.com. 4 new chapters...I'll wait til u read em to say anything...

[TheGenius]

Did anybody found the movie torrent??

[rockmanj]

still looking for it?

[TheGenius]

still looking for it?

Yah...I posted something in the movie section of W00t...but no replies...guess it's not popular.

[staffcc]

I've read this manga until the point where he fights the champion guy. Since then, I kind of started skipping a lot. Is it worth continuing? It is really long and takes a of of time, so I would appreciate some insight...

[rockmanj]

Yes, definitely keep up with it; it does get a bit more violent, but I think you're past the really sick parts. Its kinda stagnant now though; hasnt been any releases lately.

[rockmanj]

Bump

it's been a while

[Munsu]

Go to #lurk @ irc.irchighway.net and they have volume 24 completely on a bot. I just read it, good stuff.

That link of yours is for the first chapter of the volume.

[rockmanj]

I d/l'ed the manga from lurk, and it was pretty much the same thing.

[Munsu]

I d/l'ed the manga from lurk, and it was pretty much the same thing.
For some reason I went to the link you provided and missed chapters 237+. I thought they only had chapter 236 available. Sorry about that.

[Munsu]

Volume 25:
http://www.nyaatorrents.org/?page=torrentinfo&tid=44419

Apparently it also contains other releases, but from what I've read around it should contain volume 25. We have to find a way to sneak in someone to their group to get their releases. They charge people in order to sponsor their releases.

[rockmanj]

They charge? hmmm yea, we should find a mole.

it seems to only be 1 chapter from 25

[Munsu]

Those bastards, and yeah... they have their own little club with quite a few releases not available to the public.

The full volume 25! finally...

[Munsu]

Good volume, the fights were interesting and I liked the art in this one quite a bit, especially the tiger.

One thing I don't understand about the Moemi situation, what did she exactly mean when she said "You also killed your first son"? Did she have sex with Ryo and got pregnant before she got raped? I don't remember.

[rockmanj]

I think when Ryo raped her, he impregnated her.

[Munsu]

I think when Ryo raped her, he impregnated her.
And how did he kill it then? Or is she simply saying because it died, that he's blaming him for impregnating her in the first place? That would make sense.

[rockmanj]

Yea, that's what I'm thinking. He only raped her once, right?

[Munsu]

Yea, that's what I'm thinking. He only raped her once, right?
Or many times in one day... but yeah, I think it was that one time.

[Munsu]

Don't know how many of you read all of Shamo, but I got some good news. Shamo has been on hiatus for a couple of years because of some legal battle. Anyways, the series just returned with a new publisher. It's not published on Evening, which I think is Kodansha.

Anyways, chapter 58, first in volume 20 is now out and scanlated by Illuminati-Manga:
http://illuminati-manga.com/

[rockmanj]

Wow...great news. I don't see it on that page though.

[Munsu]

I think they release over at IRC, so head over to their channel on irc.irchighway.net and type the trigger mention on that page to get your download going. Let me know if you have trouble, and I'll see about getting it and uploading it somewhere.

[rockmanj]

[Munsu]

Well, just caught up to the latest. What do you think, he wins against Touma? I have a feeling that he won't, and if he does he'll cheat... like always. Got to admit, that I've forgotten a lot of what has gone on until this point, but I really want to see him kicking some major ass like he was doing in the earlier volumes.
