Manga: The Legend of Maian

[Marik]

Well... the release of volume 9 was further delayed by Badger Scans. They came along and started releasing Witch Hunter, a series that Scantily-Clad has been releasing since they were Dredshi and that made them angry.

MacKnight from S-C, has worked on over 10 volumes of Witch Hunter and got pissed and started a flame war on Badger Scans' site. A competition started between the two groups and because of that, Witch Hunter became the translator's priority.

Last Sunday, November 7th, they said that Maian v9 was in QC and someone brought it up on IRC....

[10:37:05am] <_unknown_> by the way guys you did it again ... said something about the status of projects

[10:39:40am] <@gunnil751> blame Badger Scans for making WH translations a priority
[10:40:34am] <+Raccoons|> I figured that was the reason
[10:40:43am] <_unknown_> no need to blame hope you will get along and join in the future
[10:40:53am] <+Raccoons|> saw they're released 53 and knew you wouldn't let them win
[10:41:06am] <@gunnil751> and we won
[10:41:42am] <!Kaishe> haha...
[10:41:54am] <!Kaishe> Not sure why i got banned from their site though >_>
[10:41:56am] <!Kaishe> I didnt do shit wrong
[10:41:58am] <!Kaishe> :3
[10:42:00am] <@KeitaroNL> neither did I
[10:42:07am] <+Raccoons|> they hatechu for being awesome
[10:42:08am] <@KeitaroNL> I was just having fun :P
[10:42:11am] <@gunnil751> xD
[10:42:16am] <@KeitaroNL> btw guys
[10:42:17am] <@KeitaroNL> no offense but
[10:42:26am] <@KeitaroNL> if badger-scans joins scantily or something like that
[10:42:29am] <@KeitaroNL> I'm gone

Badger Scans has since given up and released the raws for Witch Hunter volume 11.

Now that's dumb reasoning. I feel bad for Maian fans.

THANK YOU!!

[Ryllharu]

I like how Jeong Soo Cheol's art has matured as the series goes on. I just marathoned the first eight volumes earlier this week. Some of the close up shots of Felicia in this volume look like Kawashita Mizuki's art (Ichigo 100%, Anedoki, Hatsukoi Limited).

[Tenbatsu]

Thank you T_T!!!! Marik is my hero!

[Nadouku]

Awesome chapters. Blood Fines is so cool even though the concept seems vaguely familiar. Although Felix didn't win, I was glad that he got something through to Soun and in the end, benefitted Felicia in a lot of ways. Here's hoping that Felix will be strong enough to protect everyone.

[Kraco]

I like what this tournament did to Felix and Felicia's relationship, but I'm far from happy with the uber cliche plot device of making Felix forget everything that happened. How the heck can the dude get any better if he forgets about fights right afterwards... Of course I'm not saying he should now immediately be free to use blood fines at will but he should have at least remember something of what happened to give him a goal.

[Sidnne]

Cool chapters. I was surprised that it wasn't Felix who fought Davide Schole, but its pretty cool how they added another Regis Knight to the party. They didn't just locate one of the old knights, like they had always done before, instead they recruited Uraeshi to replace his father. And all I can think about when I look at Uraeshi with the Rivland is Majin Vegita, lol.

[Dark Dragon]

It actually reminded me more of the Dragon Knights from Dragon Quest: Dai's Adventure. This volume was pretty awesome, Felix is slowly shaping up to be a decent character instead of being a whiny sissy.

Felicia died..?

It seems the next volume is gonna be about the vengeful Felix, or at least that is what the previee indicates.

[Kraco]

That was surprising... But then again, stories seem to often have this kind of halfway point if that's what it takes to make the main character grow up. I'd have rather continued to watch the awkward romance between those two than a vengeance plot, so I can only hope the future has something good in stock.

[Dark Dragon]

If Felicia is dead then there is no vengeance plot because Diha would also die, along with every single other Regis Knight. If i remember correctly, one of the earlier volume mentioned that all the knight's life are binded with Felicia. I really doubt she is dead though, more likely we'll see her in some sort of coma or trap somewhere and the next arc is Felix trying to rescue her.

[Kraco]

Diha had grown beyond their expectations so I think the first thing he would have done is to unbind himself from the Rivland fate and, perhaps, bind himself to something else if necessary. By any reckoning he's a smart dude so he must have foreseen the possibility of needing to face Felicia - in fact he did because he most likely developed the annihilation spell for that very purpose.

Still, I won't deny the possibility of Felicia being in a state such as you described - simply because it would be uber traditional writing and the Koreans could be even better at that than the Japanese.

[NeoCybercoin]

Yeah I was about to mention what Dark said. I am pretty sure they will think that she is alive since they are. But I must say I wouldn't say no to a time skip of a year or a few months. Just to show how much Felix has grown and how they are all dealing with it. I do believe that he would kinda become their leader if he does grow up. Being Maian's descendant and all.

[Kraco]

What makes you think any of the Regis Knigts did survive (aside from Diha who would be a fool to kill himself)? I didn't get that kind of impression from the last pages. It was only talking about Felix and new characters.

[NeoCybercoin]

Ahh I stand corrected. From the looks of it only Felix and Ruby were send away. However there are still a few Regis Knights left. If he is going defeat Dihas then he would need their help. But since he can't detect them....woops.

[Kraco]

I don't think the new characters the preview page was referring to are Regis Knights. Basically a Warrior God like Felix shouldn't need anybody's help to defeat Diha - if he can ensnare him into a one on one fight. It's yet to be seen how smart his vengeance fuelled guile will turn him and thus how much he needs to rely on others for distractions.

[NeoCybercoin]

Still it would be nice to see him teaming up with the other Regis Knights. He might be a Warrior God reincarnated but he has no control over it. If he were to meet up with a Regis Knight who, like him, uses a sword then he could learn how to fight better instead of instinct. Then again...his instinct allowed him to defeat the Devilhro ( or w/e it was )
