In this thread we talk about the manga NHK Ni Youkoso!
> Japanese shut-ins, loli h-games and conspiracies, oh my!
Hooray for Jinmen acquiring this one! Two chapters released so far. Haven't compared their translation job to "the other one" but I doubt it could be worse!
I hearby declare this manga as something new and worth reading.
How often does Jinmen actually release stuff?
Now there's an awesome replacement for Genshiken for them. Let's hope they get some chapters released. Even if I haven't read it yet, I can say with some certainty that this one will be far better than the other translation.
Update: After reading the two chapters, I declare this 110% AWESOME.
Shounen Ace!
> How often does Jinmen actually release stuff?
I think that kinda depends on who does what in the group. Generally, they are not a very fast group, but their translations are usually excellent.
Oh god, I almost forgot that one.
mangainc.com -> 3 translated chapters.
they abandoned NHK for now, because they dont have jap translators.
...not much of a change there, then.
Age for released chapter 3.
Sempai sure has nasty cuts on her wrist. The prices you pay for being weird...
Interesting discovery: There is an NHK Ni Youkoso! novel, which is what the manga is based on. That's the one that has the cover by yoshitoshi ABe. ABe also did the cover for Tatsuhiko Takimoto's earlier novel NEGATIVE HAPPY CHAIN SAW EDGE.
Missed that the first (and second) time, thanks.
no, this is more than 110% awesome. It defies ranking. Great funny stuff. Jinmen's done some wierd stuff. That 'family zoo' thing? That was one of the strangest things I've ever read, no shitting you. And Guu's funny.
Shingo and CVs' work is miles better than Mangainc or Evil Genius could hope for.
>>11
Wait, it was actually called NEGATIVE HAPPY CHAIN SAW EDGE? I thought that was Amikai screwing up.
Evil Genius... gah. Their work is generally sub-par and they have the worst case of overinflated ego of all time. --
It is called that, all in katakana. I've been trying to find scans just to get the cover, but no luck yet.
And CV sure is a busy guy. Good thing too.
CV is an accomplished manga editor, 4chan mod, and extremely creepy pedophile.
Someone clone him quick!
Not that it matters much, but I think CV is one of the least creepy pedophiles I have seen on the internet.
lol: http://homepage.mac.com/abworks/iblog/C1042034385/E396367558/index.html
(found over @ Shii's blog)
Counterpoint: CV wouldn't be on the Internet if he weren't a pedophile with MS. See, regular 40-year-olds are too good for Internet forums.
when are moer releases coming?
Im starting to like this series!
> when are moer releases coming?
In the standard words of one of my favorite software developers: "It's done when it's done."
Seriously though: As long as you aren't paying for it, just chill and enjoy what comes. In the meantime, download free porn and wank yourself silly!
Chapters 4 and 5 by "Evil Genius"

Translation is so-so. Recognizes a few puns but some translations are outright awful (Satou calling Yamazaki "you perverted little lolita!", spelling "Jung" as "Yung", etc.).
Waiting for Jinmen....
The fastest = the best. I prefer to read raws anyways, but the dumbfucks usually won't give em away ("fansubbing convence" my ass -/)
Yotte, Evil Genius rocks. Also for picking up Biomega, so we don't have to wait 3 years or so when these Omanga dudes actually deign to do their next update.
Also, while we still are at it...
>Seriously though: As long as you aren't paying for it blah blah blah
Just wanna say I don't get that attitude of (most) manga translators, banning and insulting people for mere asking when the next chapter will come out. Surely you're doing the Good Thing™ and all that crap. But there's this one thing. If you're not just kicking these translations around for your friends but actually RELEASE them into the open world, be prepared to cope with that. It's just fucking NATURAL for the people to come and ask what's going on and why there were absolutely no updates for about a year or so. So everytime I see another fucked up in the head dude bitching about how all these people dishonour his virginity I just wanna tell em right away to shut the fuck down that site of theirs and stop OOH TORMENTING themselves that way. There are plenty of willing people ready to take your place anyways.
Sure it's natural to people come up and ask stupid questions, it's also natural to someone get pissed after he/she/it has been asked the same damn question several hundred times.
> The fastest = the best.
Yeah right. And if you could actually read raws, you'd have no problem finding them on Japanese P2P software, but it seems like you just want to look at the purdy, purdy pictures anyway.
> Just wanna say I don't get that attitude of (most) manga translators, banning and insulting people for mere asking when the next chapter will come out.
I wasn't banning or insulting anyone, I was telling him to chill. So should you. I don't give a shit whether you think your whining is natural or not. This whole attitude of demand without compensation that wants to somehow justify itself ("nature") and constantly whine is what invites the drama, not the friendly reminder to just wait for it.
Come to think of it...
Isn't Evil Genius the guy behind Mangainc (and thus also the author of those gay webcomics)?
I don't think that something like asking "how things are going now" after a year of inactivity could be considered stupid (well actually, the more correct wording in that case would be "wtf guys, did you all die or something?" -)). Really, it does sometimes seem like instead of work some of them are just sitting their asses off at their forum all the time, waiting for someone to actually come and ask that, despite all teh zOMGWTF WARNING MESSAGES - so they could go "A-HA!!" and all that stuff. -)
Neither I was talking about you personally. Nor its about the extreme cases of the real, ugly, nasty "DEMANDING" as you have put it. But when a mere spark of interest burns such a deeply-harmed state... or so it seems, judging from the usual reactions...
All in all, it's still mostly a speed problem I think. If one releases the stuff frequently, no one'll have a reason to "whine".
BUT, a matter of politeness as well.
まー, I was just speaking myself out. Case closed.
As for P2P soft, I've just started to figure out Share (which doesn't seem to work under my Win98 anyways). And it was deeply in the past when you could actually find something in WinMX.
Once you've been in a few groups you recognize a general pattern:
a) The ferocious startup. Plenty of chapters edited.
b) The cycle. Group settles into a considerably slower cyclic state.
c) Endgame. Group slowly peters out.
Evil_Genius is very much in stage a). All the signs are there: fast editing, poor QC, bad editing. They are slowly coming to the end of a). You'll know they've entered b) when the quality suddenly spikes and the release schedule slows down accordingly.
My main issue with E_G is the youthful arrogance though. I have spoken on occasion to Oro, and while he is a pleasant fellow when alone, he can't stand having errors or suggestions pointed out publically. He's fairly sane though, it's the others I'm worried about.

CV is an editing machine. Ast is a translating machine. Watch out.
I've been reading the E_G version for a while, but now I have seen the error of my ways.
Great manga, regardless. Hilarious stuff.
The two new ones from Jinmen are out, so, like, download it and stuff.
Chapters 4 and 5, that is. I didn't know 4 was out already(?).
http://jinmen.pyoko.org/zipfiles/%5BJJ%5DNHK_v1ch05.zip for those who are as lazy and me and can't be bothered to go hunt down the link.
Can somebody please give me the original title of the manga in Japanese (not romaji)?
NHKにようこそ!
I want new chapter NOW

Great release, thanks Jinmen!
I wonder what Satou's father looks like...
I want to add that I have this deep, selfish wish that this thing gets licensed one day. I'd definitely buy it, even if they don't throw in any cool extras for the paperback release...
Brilliant translation work so far, anyhow.
And if anyone has any nice pics from the series or fanart, please feel free to post some on WAKAchan.
>>61 i dont think so. Because NHK is only have 3volumes
"...we present to you the second volume of the grand-scale roman-fleuve vision of springtime-of-youth hikikomori life! They'll look pretty and colorful when you line then up on your bookshelf!"
And it's just getting better.
Meh. In my country there have been manga releases of series that weren't DBZ style 60+ volumes, either.
where can i find NHK v01 ch03 and up?
If you have the old MangaInc translations of 1-3, get and re-read the Jinmen ones instead, which are funnier and make sense.
