    Blue Giant - Vol. 5 Ch. 35 - Jazz process

    Continuing the theme of chapter titles based on Jazz-adjacent tracks, here's a chillwave/trip-hop song by a group called Jazz One titled "The Jazz Process": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxPLytCHZzc It's got some nice use of vocal samples in it. Very much has the vibe of "Lofi hip hop beats...

    Major site update: Group blocking, more external links and upcoming infrastructure upgrades

    I'm with what some others have said on here. I'd like to see a manga block function next. Lots of times I see series that I don't have any interest in, be it the artstyle or the plot synopsis, I don't plan to read it, and it clutters up the homepage as updates for those series keep popping up...

    Blue Giant - Vol. 5 Ch. 34 - Time and space

    The chapter title is probably based off of "Time & Space" by The Cinematic Orchestra. Have a listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtyIztB18ig This Nu-Jazz track is a bit different from a lot of the other songs that chapters have been named after, but it's really the only Jazz-adjacent song I...

    Doraemon - Vol. 5 Ch. 73 - The Earth Creation Kit

    Could somebody correct the numbering for this chapter? It's supposed to be "Vol. 5, Ch. 73"

    JoJo's Bizarre Adventure - Stardust Babies (Doujinshi) - Oneshot

    This was a cute little doujin. Glad to see this kind of fan work get translated. 🙂

    Spoiler Tag Issue

    Hmm... 🤔 Maybe I'm confused, and maybe the mods can clarify this... but I thought that warning about "Please do not post spoilers on this manga comment thread." always implied something along the lines of, "Please do not post spoilers on this manga comment thread without using a spoiler tag."...

    Blue Giant - Vol. 5 Ch. 33 - Greeting

    Not sure if this is actually the song the title is referencing, but I couldn't find many other Jazz songs with "greeting" in the title, so I thought I'd share it anyway. It's called "Greetings and Salutations" and comes off of the 1975 album of the same name by Thad Jones, combining elements of...

    Blue Giant - Vol. 4 Ch. 32 - Piano Man

    You might think the title of this chapter comes from the Billy Joel song "Piano Man", but if we assume it's taken from a jazz song, the most recognizable one would be from another Billy by the name of Billy Eckstine. He first performed this tune along with the Count Basie Orchestra in 1959...

    Tetsunabe no Jan! - Vol. 2 Ch. 16

    Hehe, you can just look at Kiriko's ever expanding assets to know the author likes big things. 😂

    Tetsunabe no Jan!

    Thanks for scanning and uploading this, @wombat1 ! I read the first 10 volumes a while ago and the later ones were so rare I thought I'd never be able to finish this series. Thank you so much!

    Blue Giant - Vol. 4 Ch. 31 - Money

    This chapter title may come from "M-o-n-e-y" by Thos Shipley. Composed and written by Phillip Namanworth, this track is somewhat newer, so it may or may not be the song the chapter title is based on... but either way, it's a pretty good track. Some fun lyrics in it...

    Blue Giant - Vol. 4 Ch. 30 - Rive wide

    This chapter is called "Riverwide", but there's a typo in the title here... In any case, the title comes from a song off of a 2005 album, "Momentum", by Joshua Redman, which is a jazz cover of a Sheryl Crow song. Because of that, it's certainly got a more modern sound to it, but it's also got...

    Blue Giant - Vol. 4 Ch. 29 - Act natural

    @mat87: You didn't need to re-post the chapter, you could have just edited the old one and upload a new file there, and the comments would have remained on it. In any case, not a big deal, just something to remember in the future.

    @indi_n0rd Koten Gars is re-releasing the manga in right-to-left format using the Viz translation as a base, and typesetting it onto nicer quality ebook raws.

    Black Tiger

    @Acarphinus: I mean, I'm an American, and I'm translating the series, and it doesn't seem offensive to me. 🤔 Sure, it's historically inaccurate, but so are plenty of spaghetti westerns, and even westerns made in the US itself. 🤠 They're just supposed to be dumb fun set in a historical setting...

    Ah, yes, that makes sense. I didn't think about any of that. 😅

    A related idea could be to have some kind of "add local chapters" option for a series, where users could input chapter data and link it to a local zip stored on their HDD. Those chapter listings could show up in the list alongside the rest of the chapters of a series, but would obviously only be...

    @77BLc9JwJGpLVARkamJx In all honesty, Jazz music is kind of the basis for all of the music which came after it. Artists kept building upon Jazz's foundation, and took the structure, melodies, and tone of jazz and applied it to many different genres. Or, to put it another way... Jazz is musical...

    Hey there! I love the MangaDex reader so much, that I'd like to use it for any manga files I have on my HDD, but some of them go against the upload policy... (they're either licensed titles or chapters by a group that doesn't want their files uploaded to other sites.) What if there was an empty...
