@b-no Hasn't it been 5 months? I thought the standard "drop period" was 3 months.

Also watching Hayasaka makes me feel sad. Thats no way to live

@b-no, its not sniped ... there is no snipped policy however its JB that dont want want their work here so yes, will be removed.

 

[Scorm]

People talking about this being sniped clearly haven't seen how often this series changed hands or how long it's been since someone last put up a chapter. There's two versions of 145 & 146 for example, why wasn't one of those deleted for sniping? There's a 5 month gap between this chapter and the last, which had a two month gap between it's release the the previous. Which was also a 5 chapter jump and a different group releasing it.

I'm more concerned that this seems to be a reupload from another website.

@edelgard Scalations has always been a grey-area. However I assume you're actually referring to how this seems to be a re-upload of Jaimini's Box release without their permission. To which the answer is a resounding no, since they don't own the rights to the series.

@b-no
That's not what the word "sniping" means. Sniping is when one group feels they have dibs on translating a series and another group translates ahead. This chapter is just plain copied from Jaiminisbox; they didn't even bother to omit the credits page.

Funnily, it's only when Kaguya is sniped — or, like now, "sniped" — that I remember Jaimini are still scanlating it.

 

[SuperOniichan]

So, fans are translating this here again? I thought MD removed this due to manga licensing.

 

[Bren]

@SuperOniichan If that were ever the case, all the chapters would've been taken down. It's purely because neither of the scanlators want to upload to Mangadex.

 

[SuperOniichan]

@Bren But why?

 

[Bren]

@SuperOniichan They didn't see eye to eye with Mangadex. There's an announcement from 2018 iirc that goes into detail.
They demanded a two week delay on their releases, then they got rightfully sniped, and wanted the practice to be banned.

 

[SuperOniichan]

@Bren That is, they took a break and at that time someone else stole their title?

 

[Rgal]

@SuperOniichan
No, they proclaimed themselves as gatekeepers to the manga they happen to scanlate and threw a tantrum when mangadex refused to enforce this nonsense.

 

[Bren]

@SuperOniichan Not at all, they just put a two week delay on all their releases so you'd have to visit their site if you wanted to read them when they were actually released. Presumably because they wanted ad-revenue and donations.

 

[Konrad2]

@Nep The last kaguya release by JB was 6 days ago, so I'm not sure where you are getting '5 months' from.

 

[Juslin]

All these people talking about sniping and shit while I'm just feeling pity for her.

 

[greatninja3]

is this even a snipe the other scanlator isn't even uploading here
