Well, I said I'd do something new before getting back to Heavenly Island and here it is, the first chapter of Takao Saito's Survival.
It's not very likely that anyone reading this will have read much of Saito's, but within the manga world he holds one of the most impressive records for he's the author of Golgo 13, the longest running manga series in existence which began publication all the way back in 1968.
Golgo 13 isn't Saito's only work though, as he's been involved with a fair number of other titles throughout his career. Survival is an older series of his, dating back to 1976. In it Japan has suffered a series of devastating earthquakes, and the protagonist is forced to survive as best he can. It's not the most original of topics, but it's enjoyable enough.
The version of the manga which I'm working from has six volumes in total, as well as a seventh extra volume which isn't part of the main story, so there's a fair amount to it.
For the time being though this will be on the back-burner, my intention is to finish off the second volume of Heavenly Island before really doing anything else. That said I do have a few other new series which I'm slowly working my way through at the same time, so maybe a one or two of those will also pop up.
Good to see an old manga picked up, makes me want to see the golgo 13 anime or read the manga! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I really love Saito-san's work, so it's good to see somebody translating more of his stuff. Also, I love the series that you guys are focusing on. :)
ReplyDeleteI should note, though... the page numbering is messed up, so the pages show in the wrong order when I bring it into my comic reader. You should try to name your files with padded numbers, (ex. 001, 002, 003, 010, 011, 012, 100, 101, 102, etc.) so they get sorted correctly.
Hey, sorry about that. I've gone through and updated the names/files so hopefully it's sorted now.
DeleteThanks. ^_^
