Graham Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 Guys, I'm unpinning the threads for chapters 1-3 of the Macross Frontier Manga, as there are currently too many pinned threads. From now on only the most current chapter will stay pinned. Links to the previous chapters are below: - Macross Frontier Manga - Chapter 1. Macross Frontier Manga - Chapter 2. Macross Frontier Manga - Chapter 3. Graham Guys, just picked up the new issue of Shonen Ace, containing chapter 4 of the Macross Frontier manga. Not much action in this episode, although it end ends with a cliffhanger, promsing more action next month. Fans of original SDFM will like this episode as we see a classic VF-1J being flown. It turns out the VF-1 mounted at Alto's school is still in flyable condition. Will start on the scans later tonight. Graham Quote
veffidas Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 (edited) Would it be possible to have a single main thread pinned with links to each chapter's unpinned thread (possibly only also keeping the newest chapter pinned)? The numbers of pinned topics just for the manga seems to be getting a little excessive, making new topics harder to find. Thanks for the scans. Edited March 30, 2008 by Graham Quote
UN_MARINE Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 wow. that spoiler tag has got to be one of the greatest thing so far. i was expecting them to do it in Zero, i'm overjoyed they did it here. and right after the DYRL/Miss Macross from the last chapter, it's just... wow. i can't wait to see those in animated form Quote

azrael Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 Ranka became Alto's calssmate.................................... what about Sheryl??? I don't think she goes to school anymore.... Thoughts: -Great..Ranka's 1st day in that classroom and Michael is already sucking up to the squad leader's sister.... -At least we know where the cream puffs come in now.... -I sense Alto will be the unwilling victim of Ranka's mishaps. Poor guy... Quote
ackem Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 (edited) Here's the t/l for the first 10 pages. I'll add to it as Graham scans more. p1 Box: Mihoshi Academy High School Box: This is the school that Alto attends. It is a training school that has numerous departments such as Entertainment, Arts, and Aviation in order to guide it's students in their efforts. Ranka: I'm Ranka Lee and I just transfered into the Entertainment department today. Pleased to meet you. Alto: Whaaaattt!! p2 Blurb: Which girl makes your heart beat faster? p3 Alto: I thought you went to Saint Maria Academy...why did you transfer so suddenly... Ranka: Ummmm. It's a long story. Announcer: That was Ranka Lee. Ozuma: What is the meaning of this? To do such a thing without giving notification... p4 Ozuma: Because of that you were expelled! What will you do now! Ranka: I'm sorry for doing it without permission, but I don't regret anything! Ozuma: I won't allow this idol nonsense! Anyways, someone as shy as you can't become a singer! Ranka: You're wrong! I can. Ozuma: No! Go to Saint Maria and apologize! If you do that your expulsion may be-- p5 Ranka: Onichan is an IDIOT!! Blockhead!! Ranka: And that's what happened and I transfered... Alto: Commander Ozuma... Nanase: I'm so happy that we'll be going to the same school! Ranka: Nanase-chan. p6 Luca: Same here. Michele: Girls will always be welcome, isn't that right Alto? Alto: Huh? Yeah, I transfered midterm too so just ask if you have any questions. Ranka: Ok! Michele: Well then, lets show our new school friend around the campus. p7 Michele: Since I have extraordinary confidence in escorting ladies. Alto: Michele, step away. Nanase: This is the arts room. And this is--... Ranka thoughts: Now that we're in the same schoool, you have to muster up the courage to take the first step, Ranka. Then your school life with Alto-kun dream will be reality! Ranka: Um...Alto-kun p8 Box: Yes! Now a casual conversation... Ranka: You and Michele-kun sure are close. Michele/Alto: Huh? Alto: It seems that she is mistaken, would you please move further away? Michele: Oh, that's right! After all, you are a maiden, Alto-kun. Alto: Your "girl" comments are annoying! Is that the only thing you can say? Michele: That's because that's the only thing you're good at! Why don't you try putting on some round glasses!? Ranka thoughts: It...it wasn't supposed to be like this... Michele?: This is the cafeteria, Sheryl-san's "shuu" cream popular right now. p9 Ranka thoughts: I failed earlier...but not this time. Be casual. Be casual. Ranka: Alto-kun, this "shuu" cream is...good-- Alto: Argh! My eyes! Sheryl: Just you wait, Saotome Alto! p10 Luca: --and this is Mihoshi's special area, the catapalt deck! Alto: Not many people outside of the Aviation department come here. Ranka: Wow, incredible! I love high places! (maybe a reference to smoke idiom from the earlier chapter, guess Ranka isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer) What is that plane? Luca: Oh that...that is- p11 Luca: VF-1 "Valkyrie," the masterpiece unit that played a huge role in the interstellar war. The pieces of armor were built around an engine that incorporated numerous pieces of overtechnology resulting in a unit caparable to today's. (Summary) So it is now used as the school's symbol, but it can still fly. Ranka: Alto-kun, have you been ridden it? Alto: Nope. Michele: Your story is just uninteresting. Nanase: Well then! Next is the library room! p13 Alto/Ranka: Sheryl[-san]! (Ranka adds "-san") Sheryl: Found you! Alto: Why are you here!? [side text: You got some time off?] Sheryl: What's with that attitude after running into me! [side text: Of course I don't have any free time!] Alto: You're the one who ran into... Ranka: Alto-kun Sheryl: ...hmmmmm? p14 Sheryl: So the two of you are going out-- Alto: It...it's nothing like that--You've got it wrong!! Sheryl: So you aren't going out? Really. Ranka thoughts: You didn't have to say it so adamantly. p14 Sheryl: So it'd be fine if I did this- Ranka: Please move away Sheryl-san! Alto: Hey! Stop it! Michele: Why's the ground shaking... Luca: The...enemy? Sheryl: This is bad! I spent too much time fooling around! p15 Mob: Sheryl-sama!! [headbands: Sheryl] Alto: ...! (Unable to make any sound) Mob: Sheryl-sama- Luca: Sh...she really is incredibly popular, isn't she.. Nanase: It's hard being an idol it seems. Michele: Hmm? p17 Michele: Where's Alto? Ranka: Huh? Alto: What! Why did I have to run! Sheryl: Stop complaining and find us a way to escape! Alto: Damn it! p18 Sheryl zombie1: Where are the hiding! Sheryl zombie1: Find them- Sheryl zombie: Kill the man! Sheryl: It seems they've left. Alto: [sidetext: That was terrifying...] Why did something like this happen... Sheryl: The students who saw me transformed into insurgents...it's as simple as that. Alto: This isn't the time for you to try saying cool stuff. Sheryl: Anyway, you really don't know why I came? Alto: The earing!? p19 Sheryl: Yes, I came to get my earing back, but I was recognized and it turned into this. That earing is very important to me, that's why...I have to return to Galaxy next week so today is the only chance I have. Alto: The earing is probably in the cockpit of the VF-25 that's in maintenance so there's no way to look for it now. p20 Sheryl: No way... Alto: So, I'll definitely get it back to you by next week. Trust me. Sheryl: Well...if that is the case... Sheryl Zombie: Found them! It's Sheryl!! p21 Alto: Damn, they found our trail! Sheryl zombie: They were here! Get her signa- Sheryl: ...Hmph. What are you doing just standing around, Alto! We're getting out of here! p22 Alto: Hey! Do you know where you're going? Sheryl: Don't worry, it'll work out somehow. Alto: So this will work out somehow!? Sheryl: The roof...!? It's a dead end! Alto: This is bad! We've been cornered! p23 Ranka: Alto-kuunn~ Alto-kun. Luca: Looks like Alto-senpai's no where to be found. Michele: He hasn't been caught with even that many people after him so he's probably just hidden himself really well. Of course, right now those to might even be... Nanase: You're disgusting! Luca: You're disgusting! Box: That isn't true, right Alto-kun... p24 Mob: Huh...? No one's here. I could have sworn that they came this way. Zombie: But there isn't anywhere to hide here. Zombie2: Th...that's true. Zombie Leader: Search everywhere! Mob: Got it! p25 Sheryl: Hey...!! Stop grabbing me in weird places! Alto: Don't blame me! This really sucks... Sheryl: You say that even though you're enjoying it! [sidetext: pervert] Alto: Like hell I am! You think too highly of yourself! Sheryl: What did you say! Zombie: Hey...did you here somthing coming from above? It can't be...from inside the Valkyrie... p26 Alto/Sheryl: This is bad...!! Teacher: Hey, the roof is off limits! I was wondering what all this was about. Hurry up and get back to the classroom. Zombie: But Sheryl-sama is-- Teacher: No excuses. Besides, there's no way that the Galactic Fairy would be here. p27 Sheryl: Looks like we've been saved. Alto?Sheryl?: I thought it was over for us... Zombie: Why's the roof off limits? Teacher: Ah, you guys didn't know? This entire area took a direct hit during the last battle, particularly the Valkyrie. Sheryl/Alto: Huh? p28 Sheryl/Alto: You've got to be kidding... Ranka: Alto-kuuun. p29 Sheryl: Alto! we're falling! Alto: This thing is too old so the controls are... Sheryl: Kyaaaa! Alto: Damn it! p32 Alto: We...we made it... Teacher: Even though it was an accident, don't let it happen again. Got it? Alto: Sorry... Ranka: Alto-kun, are you all right? Alto: Yeah, somehow. Ranka: I'm so glad. I was really worried. Luca: Yeah Alto-senpai! Nanase: Ranka-san was looking all over for you! p33 Alto: Is that...so? Sorry, we were in the middle of showing you around and all... Ranka: It's OK! I memorized everything while looking for you. Sheryl: My my, I apologize for interrupting such a warm moment. Alto, today was fun. Alto: I'll definitely bring it to you before you return to Galaxy. It's a promise. Sheryl: I see. p34 Sheryl: I'll be waiting, Alto. See you. Ranka: what? p35 ?: WHAAAAAT- Message: [static noises] This is Ma...cross...Galaxy-...To the Frontier government we re...quest...aid... p36 Message: [static] The Galaxy Fleet has...been attacked. Repeat--the Galaxy Fleet...has...by the Vajura! Edited April 5, 2008 by ackem Quote
