Gerli Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Wow... those Bridge Bunnys are SO BADASS, also best fireworks EVER Quote
Tochiro Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Yep, the later chapter is up in ComicWalker and is looking good! It sure took Focker long enough to get off the ground though! f^_^; Quote
A_Man_and_a_Woman?! Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 That first panel gives me goosebumps... Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Another great looking chapter!! Too bad I can't read Japanese. Quote
Tochiro Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Happy Halloween from Minmei! (btw, the next chapter of MACROSS THE FIRST drops on Nov. 4, but it looks like it's another recap chapter unfortunately). Quote

Gubaba Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 It'll probably end up being in the next book. Quote
EXO Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Happy Halloween from Minmei! (btw, the next chapter of MACROSS THE FIRST drops on Nov. 4, but it looks like it's another recap chapter unfortunately). 141031_02.jpg It says Nov. 7 on the Comic Walker page. Quote
Tochiro Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 It says Nov. 7 on the Comic Walker page. It does too. Yet the email reminder I received on Friday said Nov. 4. Odd. Thanks for picking that up. Quote
Tochiro Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 Looks like we were both wrong! The latest installment came out last night (11/5). Unfortunately, apart from the Haloween Minmei Title page, there's no real new art. It is literally a 7 page explanation/recap of what's happened in the last couple of chapters. Sigh. Quote
EXO Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 It's only been one book away from the last recap. Quote
Bub Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 Speaking of recap, I know there's been 5 volumes of PUBLISHED HARD COPIES of this series. So how many chapters (or volumes) has been released ELECTRONICALY (in Comic Walker)? Quote
Tochiro Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Only a handful of new chapters because they started off by republishing Episode Zero. Nowhere near enough to fill a new physical volume yet. Quote
Bub Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Thanks. All I'm seeing at the Comic Walker website are two issues/chapters:1) The 35 page chapter, with Daedalus as their first picture;2) The 11 page recap issue with Minamay Halloween Costume.I could've sworn there were a few more issues/chapters that should be available from Comic Walker other than the 2 that I mentioned above. I used this link:http://comic-walker.com/contents/detail/KDCW_KS07000005010000_68/ Where do I see the issue/chapter where an SV-51 pilot girl was featured? And where are the other issues/chapters for that matter? Thanks! Quote
Tochiro Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 That's because only Chapter zero (which was originally printed in Newtype Ace) and the latest (this months) chapter are free. You have to read them the month they come out to be able to do so. This is why everyone posts the heck out of each new chapter both here and on facebook when its released so that people have time to go and check it out. Once theres a tankobon's worth of content, you can purchase the digital edition in full from ComicWalker's sister site, BookWalker. At the moment BookWalker has tankobons 1-5 of Macross the First and all of Macross 7 Trash, along with some of the Macross Frontier comedy manga. The more recent chapters presumably wont be available again digitally until the next tankobon is released. Quote

Tochiro Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 The next chapter of MACROSS THE FIRST hits Comicwalker on December 2 (JST). Merry Christmas! Quote
Marzan Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 (edited) Who the heck are those two?! Edited November 28, 2014 by Marzan Quote
EXO Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 Those guys were in the previous chapters. I guess superhero disguises would work for some people. jk!!! Quote
Tochiro Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 Maybe last months recap chapter was necessary after all? f^_^ Quote
Tochiro Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 The latest chapter is out and has actual new content! Check out ComivWalker for more! Quote
Knight26 Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Ok I have not followed MtF for a while, is the story actually progressing or are we just getting random part panels here and there? Quote
Gubaba Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Ok I have not followed MtF for a while, is the story actually progressing or are we just getting random part panels here and there? It's progressing, definitely, but we're still in the "prequel" portion. Who knows when it'll get back to the main story... Quote
Mommar Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 So what happened to Roy's interception? Looks like the 51 got past him. Quote
sketchley Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) So what happened to Roy's interception? Looks like the 51 got past him. He's launching to intercept the SV-51Σ that's coming from space, and ... is still 6 minutes away! Edited December 11, 2014 by sketchley Quote
jenius Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 I hope this is followed up with "Macross the Third" which will be the story of a plucky thief and his gang on the run from an international inspector Zenigata. Quote
Tochiro Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Next chapter is tentatively scheduled for January 6, 2015. :-) Quote
Tochiro Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Unfortunately, it looks like the latest update to MACROSS THE FIRST is nothing more than a promotional 2-page flyer for upcoming merchandise. Maybe Mikimoto is still on New Years vacation. The next actual update is now listed as Feb. 03. Quote
Minmei's Microphone Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Are any fan groups continuing to translate this manga into English? I know of only two, Red Shoulders and Galaxy Network. Both of which have stopped releasing new issues and the farthest they got in the series was the first half of Vol. 2. I've been buying the physical copies released in Japan because I want to support it. Has Harmony Gold sent out C&D letters to these fan translators? Are there any groups that will pick up the series? It's a shame because there is no other manga I want to read more than this one. Quote
Gubaba Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Red-Shoulders made his point pretty clearly in these two posts, especially the second... http://red-shoulders.blogspot.com/2012/03/scanlation-idiocy.html http://red-shoulders.blogspot.com/2012/12/mobile-suit-gundam-origin-status-update.html I include the first link, though, because I had run-ins with the same group (albeit from opposite ends... he used their scans, they wanted to take my English translation, translate it into Spanish, and claim credit for the whole thing... at least according to an anonymous tip-off I got). And the guy from that group was here at MW, pestering me, insulting me, asking for advice... it was really weird. I really go back and forth on The First. On the one hand, I like it, and I'd like to translate the whole thing (Red_Shoulders' script, while there's nothing wrong with it, just doesn't sound QUITE right to me, although I know that's my own deal, not his). On the other, as soon as I announced the translation, unsavory people came out of the woodwork to contact me about it, and it was really off-putting. Plus there's the fact that not one but TWO magazines carrying the title have died... Its not a theory, it's fact: people simply aren't supporting this title like they should. (Usually when I mention this, someone points out, "Well, it's in Japanese! I'm not going to buy a book I can't read, so they aren't losing any sales from me. I won't buy it anyway." Which is all well and good, but begs the question of why they deserve a free, high-quality scanlation.) I still hack away at it occasionally, but it really seems more like a chore than anything fun, because I've had to deal with so many jerks about it, and because of my own qualms about making it available.

Gubaba Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 In other news, according to the new chapter up on Comic Walker, Vol. 6 will be out April 26. Quote
