Did I miss something? Is The Company no longer scanlating Tower of God?

Naver, the company that pays the artist, has started offering
official English translations for a lot of their offerings on
http://www.webtoons.com/
(Looks awful on non-mobile).

... So the fan translators have dropped it.

Sad that it seems to be pretty shittily translated. Happy that it's back though. Hopefully the time off let SUI recuperate fully.

Wow. I thought that Webtoons page was another scanlation site, turns out it's official. You would think they would put a bit more effort into the translations if it's an official site, but I guess having a monopoly on scanlations mean you can rear end it up all you want. Plus, site's dreadful on a browser, which irks me to no end. They got a non-mobile site, can't they just port the coding over?

You just gave me a great idea buddy.
The guys who run Magna Cow, do they do their own translation or do they just upload it?

You don't really need that. Just pop out the official site into its own window and make it narrower (which is what the companys naver reader does. just has the site in a ~700px wide iframe)

The Company's page makes for a convenient bookmark, though. No fiddling around with window sizes or whatever, just open up the page and read away.

So are there different translators working for them? Because as bad as Tower of God is the gamer seems worse. And then Kubera gave us Idioty Smith so I can't hate them anymore.

If you're talking about Naver's official translations they're... not very good, no. For whatever reason.

I think they figured that after C&D all the scanlators, they figured either we take lovely translations or no translations at all as the only options.

Translation seemed better than last chapter. Wonder if it was just an easy chapter to translate or if they got a new translator.

Yeah, time passes pretty quickly. Plus the intervening 12 months are just training and SIU seems to avoid training arcs (thank god).

Between this series and the Gamer I can't help but find myself enjoying Korean manwha more than any japanese mangas out there.

It's a shame that neither will be turned into an anime or the korean version of one.

Between the bad guys killing people on trains to get tickets and the good guys killing people to get tickets to stop the bad guys getting tickets this is going to look like a real mess from an outside perspective. I wonder if it will get blamed on that evil slayer Viole somehow.

So, silly question, but what happened to the floating diamond weapon thing that Baam has?

I dunno, its in his inventory maybe. It was such a major plot point last arc I doubt he sold it or anything

Also it wasn't a floating diamond, it was clearly a bit or a funnel. Baam is in fact a Gundam. :kamina:

I'm guessing that, despite its existence not being widely known, walking around with the Thorn visible would be like hiring a blimp to fly around above you with with a sign reading "I'm right here fuckers come and get me."

I don't care if it makes him obvious. I want him with long hair and a diamond mag casually blowing people up in non lethal ways.
