Soba-Scans Debut Release!

I’m happy to say we have some really nice treats for the Fakkuza today. Our team only started a few months ago, and I think we’ve come a really far way. We went from complete strangers to practically family of spending ample, and I mean ample time together working on projects.

But most of all, I’d like to speak for our group and thank Nikon and Raze for being a tremendous help to all of us. They've been great friends, and we couldn’t thank you guys enough for being so patient and continuing to challenge us to improve our abilities.

I really hope you guys enjoy our releases! Please, by all means: give us your feedback!


Azusa Nakano wants to get Mio Akiyama a brand new guitar for her birthday. Just how far is she willing to go to get the guitar she wants?

LD: We're happy to announce that Soba-Scans will be bringing you the series Ring x Mama by noted mangaka Manabe Jouji!
It's an ongoing series about the wild world of women's wrestling. You'll see action, drama, lots of humor, and of course, hot girls. This was a project that started here on Fakku, and we're planning to continue bringing you more chapters.

Awesome releases. Good job Soba-scans

Hooray, the post is up!

I'm LD, the translator for Ring x Mama. This has been in the oven for a while now, and I think its gestation period has led to a much higher quality final product. The manga has a complex back story and lots of twists and turns, as well as a lot of funny moments. I hope everybody likes it a lot. The plan is to continue bringing you more chapters in the future. Please feel free to leave any feedback you have in the thread.

I wanna thank Panzuriel and Raze for being willing to look at the translations countless times and improve them immensely. The dialog is very carefully written, and it's my hope that this translation will preserve its complexity but also be enjoyable to read. Also I have to thank Ziggy for her outstanding editing, which was no easy task on this manga. Manabe Jouji seems to enjoy nothing more than putting narration over the characters' hair to bedevil anybody trying to redraw it.

Holy hell, now that is an update!

May take me a bit to get to/through these... and I thought I was behind before :/

Regardless-
über thanks for all of your obviously hard work! This is a feast of awesome material: I'll do my best to keep it from going cold.

I have to agree, great update is great!

Fakku is truly scanlation heaven. Thank you and keep up the good work, Soba-Scans.

Wow, I'm gonna go check out that Azu-nyan doujin now I think. Thank you :)




omg, Captain_Falcon?

I've been waiting for a while for a group to translate Ring x Mama. I've had practically all the chapters of the doujin only in RAW format, so I'm happy it's finally caught the attention of a translator group.

Thank you, Soba-Scans!!

It's always nice to see new groups!

Good work and keep it up

Didn't Saha translate Ring x Mama already? Not being picky or anything, always good to have more translators in the ring.

Ah, I knew this would come up. Allow me to explain.

I guess what it boils down to is unfortunate timing. As you can see, the thread where we started the project is still kicking around in the Requests forum here. We've been working on Ring x Mama steadily since then, and as I mentioned, the project has been through its share of twists and turns. It took a while to decide that we'd be making a group called Soba-Scans and the process that we would be going through to translate and edit the chapters. And of course real life stuff interfered as well on occasion. In the end, we wanted to continue working on the manga because we liked it a lot. It was a long, occasionally difficult process, but it made the end result better.

This is not the only project to translate this manga, but one thing I really want to make clear is that we won't be comparing our project with any of the other projects. We're doing this because we enjoy it and enjoy the manga.

besides, at the rate saha gets through his 8000007 donor projects, it may be years before he gets ring x mama translated. i imagine this translation will be done in a more timely manner.

So this is the doujin you were telling me about....

very nice. :D

As I said elsewhere (but I'll repeat it here so that LD may also bask in my praise), a solid debut; I liked your work on Ding Ding 1 better than A_S's. May you find delight in many projects to come.

I translated that and Left Style. Glad you liked it! I'll be working on DiNGDiNG 2 before too much longer. It's not actually a sequel though, which is a shame.

Good luck on future endeavors and hooray for a new group!

How many do we have affiliated with Fakku now? 5? 6?

WOW nycely going Ziggy & company (O.O)

also awesome thanx for the posts
hope u & your team continue to bless us with these kinds of posts :P

Great stuff guys, those are some awesome debut translations! I look forward to seeing more of your work!

All the best.

I must say I am really impressed. That Azu Doujin is one of the best I have ever read. Congrats on the release Ziggy and I wish you all the luck in the world in future endeavors.
