New chapter, someone explain this??

After Hikaru rescues Misa from Mars base and the SDF-1 breaks trough Kamjin trap this happens

It was also in the original release.

If memory serves, it's some time of Fold mishap or eddy or aftereffect from the destruction of Mars Base.  Call it a flash forward.

What's most nuts about it, is that Hikaru's seeing his future self.

From another perspective, you might even call it a...

Flash Back 2012.

 

hah

 

hahahah

 

yeah ok

[Marzan]

Waiting for Basara to show up in this timeline.

[Dynaman]

The art is top notch (as expected) but it is just different enough from the original that I really really really wish I could read Japanese.  

[Knight26]

I want that last page of the latest issue as a desktop, would love it colorized too.  It is an epic image.

[Hikuro]

I believe there was a glimpse of the future in one of the first volumes.....and the games and movies tend to kind of hint that traveling thru space folds can lead into future or past events even alternate realities.

[Sildani]

Through space folds, things you will see. Other places. The future, the past... old friends long gone.

Macross the First used the events of Macross Flash Back 2012 as a framing device, that's all.

Macross's original series did indicate that time flows at a different (slower) rate in higher dimensional space and that, consequently, the amount of time experienced by a ship's crew in the course of a fold jump was less than the actual passage of time in realspace.  Later shows, like Macross Frontier, added the wrinkle of distortions in higher dimension space that had the unfortunate consequence of increasing that disparity by leaps and bounds... though they also finessed that the original (severe) disparity was the result of poor quality fold system tech and guesstimates by inexperienced personnel, and that improvements in tech were continually reducing that disparity (to the point of hitting zero).

AFAIK, the only time that space folds have been linked to anything like time travel in official setting materials was Macross 30: Voices Across the Galaxy.  That wasn't something that a fold-capable ship could achieve naturally or accidentally, it was the doing of an ancient Protoculture Fold Evil biotechnological superweapon that'd been purpose-built to weaponize time travel and then sealed away on Uroboros when the Protoculture realized building a thing like that was a terrible idea.

  Reveal hidden contents

There appears be survivors at Mars Base Sara? and they might be AUNG? ...and Max makes the Tomahawk sexy AF!

 

Wow, way to make Misa's spacesuit NOT hot like it used to be. 

Maybe that was the goal. Still, sadness. That was like a highlight of the original series when I was a kid :D

#10 Hectic Birthday - 2

Only six pages, but an interesting final spread.

On the other hand, it is kind of cool that it's the exact same suit that the pilots wear, just a different helmet.

Yup.  That's what stopped me and Talos from doing a translation of Macross the First.

I'm a decent-enough translator, but my Photoshop-fu is embarrassingly weak.

You just make a text translation and post it here on the forums.  No need to fill in text bubbles, post it on every shitty manga aggregate website for the whole world to forever pirate and steal.  Text translations are the best thing that you could do for something like this.  It would build a community and encourage people to support the serialization.  

Anyway...

Are they releasing new updated volumes yet?  I cant seem to find anything besides the old 6 volumes.

That's probably a more realistic option nowadays... but back when we were first tossing the idea around we were full of more ambitious ideas, and less involved in our careers.

Not that I've seen... though I'll admit I have not been paying particularly close attention to this one.

[Mazinger]

I'd be forever indebted for a text translation, of course, if we could buy it in English, with money going back to the original creators, that would be awesome.  Oh well, one can dream...

[RDX17]

Macross The First - #11 gol=bodoruza -2...now, that's some serious Deculture.

[BlackRose]

They're back into that flashback arc now that the previous edition never finished.

[Bolt]

I’d love to see this..

[Matt Random]

Are there any English summaries anywhere for all the chapters? The ones from gubabablog were great, but seemed to have stopped with #7.

[Fortress_Maximus]

How has the release for the series been?  I stopped reading since it took too long. Is the reboot going at a faster pace or same sluggish pacing with no end in sight?

They're currently on Tales of South Ataria. I'm enjoying it, although looking forward to seeing them pick up the main story again.

[Fortress_Maximus]

Wow very impressive work by Mikimoto and team!  Does anyone know how many other people work on this to get it published? What is the release schedule like? Is this going to be like Berserk? Thanks!

[nexxstrait]

Mthe First finally got on par with tankobon 6 but... what happened to all the chapters apart from #1 and the last one?

[Tochiro]

 

[Bolt]

Thanks @Tochiro for that. Many of us been wondering.. but really, Macross The1st has been so slow going and confusing , it’s like it’s been on hiatus for some time.

[nexxstrait]

is there a way to subscribe and download the chapters?

[zard]

What a disappointment this series is now put on hold. Geez.

[Mommar]

So they made it back to the same part of the story and stopped again?  Sounds like no more of the story was ever actually written and they just redid my mages and art for the parts they had.

Odds are they have a fair-sized chunk of additional story written but between redoing pages for the Cycomi re-release and other obligations they need to actually sit down and draw the stuff out.  If they'd foregone the do-overs on a bunch of pages, they'd probably have fresh material ready now.

[Einherjar]

That darn promotional cycle for the trains vs. zombies vs. Minmay lookalike continuation movie.  I still gotta go through the series.

[zard]

Any promising news about the next series release?

[leonhardt]

Guys anybody know what happened to the manga? I always get 404 error in both the cycomi app and website when I went to check for new releases.

[Bolt]

See above.

Mikimoto San is too busy working on other stuff, I presume.

Don't know about the Cycomi app.

Oh I know that he's busy and stuff. What I meant was that I can't access/search the manga from the app or website anymore and always receive the 404 error when I open a link to the manga. So I was wondering if maybe something happened between Cycomi and Mikimoto-san or maybe my pc is just acting up (I tried it for a few days already though).

That's what I meant when I asked what happened to the manga
