ummm.... language of translation is set to Japanese, but I can read it...

It seemsy autotranslatiom features have upgraded...

(the language of translation seems to be set incorrectly, unless I am hallucinating in some way or another...)

thanks for the 'translation' from Japanese to Japanese(English)?

EDIT:

it is fixed now... thx.

ROLF!
Are all snipes always done by a new group? That's how it seems from the ones I have experienced

 

[Kendama]

@firefish5000 Not all, but many are. Some new groups seem to think that it's easier to burst into the scanlation scene by doing something that's tested and popular already, rather than reviving a manga in limbo or trying their luck with something new.

 

[Ovdose]

Helvetica would've released this chapter in a day or two, what even is the point of putting in the effort to snipe such an active translation group?

 

[RandomFanguy]

@Kendama
Seems like a smart idea if they want to get noticed and maybe recruit new members.

 

[QGC129]

I suppose daily series require the least effort to snipe too.

 

[Reversinator]

@Ovdose Attention, plain and simple.

@RandomFanguy I don't know, sniping something that's already actively being worked on and released seems more like it'll attract negative attention from other scanlators. Besides, the page doesn't have any recruitment information, so that's probably not the goal.

 

[orochijes]

Helvetica's quality has always been top notch, so I think I'll stay "loyal".

 

[Kendama]

@QGC129 Some, but not this one. Delusion Telepathy is quite high-level in terms of edition, especially typesetting. Helvetica does a stellar work. The snipers chose one of few easy chapters to debut, and the next one is easy, too, but who knows how they'll fare when a hard chapter comes?

 

[RandomFanguy]

@Reversinator
Yeah you're right. I'm sure it could work out if the new group was cooler about it or maybe it was a different series. In this case it just feels awkward and kinda rude.

 

[Jaegrqualm]

Well, considering that Helvetica's so big on "muh buffer" while the plot currently seems to be trying to coincide with the actual New Year's, I think i'd call this a good thing. We'll see how it plays out.

 

[Reversinator]

@Jaegrqualm the reason we have a buffer is because we care about the health and sanity of the people working on the series while still being able to release regular chapters

 

[Newspage]

@Jaegrqualm I'll copy past a comment I wrote on r/manga a few days ago that explains my thoughts on the buffer:

Because we want time to work on every chapter.

New chapters release on 7am my time (CET). If we did it full daily I'd need to organize every staff member (translation, proofreading, redrawing, typesetting and quality check) every day individually. Of course at some point they might or might not show up on their own but then not everyone has time every day. I think all of us either go to uni or are already busy with a job in real life so you might not get the chance to work on something one day. For other daily manga it's also like this but not quite as bad since Mousou requires more work than whiting out bubbles. Aya's telepathy text is frequently placed over art.

So we take 2 weekends off and get 4 days of buffer in order to have time to work on them. In my mind this isn't a problem at all. If you are an English reader then you are not bothered by the Japanese schedule anyway. After building up the buffer, we are also on a 1 page per day basis. Sure, there are 4 chapters that could be release but if we pushed them out and released them you would be done reading in a minute and back to 1 chapter per day. It's just us who suffer after that by having to push out chapters even though we have no time.

@Jaegrqualm Having seen the raws for myself, the editing required is on a difficult level for both redrawing and typesetting. A daily release schedule would be insanely harsh on the team that does it, no matter how good they are. It's important to remember that scanlators are people too and have their own lives. Having a buffer allows for people to have enough time to properly work on the series while still giving readers something close to a daily release schedule.
