[NSFW I guess?] I swear that this is not the only reason why I'm currently reading To Love Ru (pronounced "Toraburu" in Japanese). Highly recommended ecchi love comedy. Has furigana next to the kanji for folks who are learning Japanese - nothing better than learning while enjoying a favorite topic (oppai) heh? Hows your Kanji learning coming along? See more nosebleed pics at AkibaBlog including one of Rito being sandwiched by oppai. Interesting how this manga is not rated 18 or 15 or 12 or 10... Cant wait for the anime to start.
ktkr━━Σ(ﾟДﾟ|||)━━!!! Too bad you don't see that in the English scanlations .-.
How come? They censor?
the mag scan is censored while the tank scan is uncensored.
Yea, I think so. Been following the Maximum7 Scanlations... I read this manga solely because the illustrator ^^ (Yabuki Kentaro) the same artist with Black Cat manga. He is very good at drawing ^^
And you aren't going to see this kind of stuff in Maximum7 Scanlations, since they said that they aren't doing it. It doesn't lose its sense of comedy because its censored, the volume is more like a fan service, anyway, I have the 2 =P
damn right they did.(censor it) also, i swear im not watching it for the fanservice only.
it'd probably get censored if it were to go on sale in here... cos i see no point in an outright ban
To love Ru is already on sale in Singapore and sadly both Singapore's and Taiwan's version is censored.
Why do they censor it, why?!
Because there are too many underage kids buying it even though theres are R18 sign on the cover of the manga. And to avoid complains from parents, they censored it.
Oh good; I was worried they'd flat-out stop selling them because of that.
I'm reading the Korean version so no learning kanji for me T_T It's interesting to see this type of ecchi comedy being serialized in Shonen Jump now, where it used to be series with guts, friendship, battle & other manly stuffs such as Dragon Ball, Slam Dunk, One Piece and what not. I guess even shonen needs some nose bleed to grow up~
I grew tired of shonen series, to tell the truth, and I wonder if there is one that is worth the trouble right now. This said, I'm still following Bleach only because they are at a good arc.
Zetman by the mangaka of I"s might tingle your shonen senses back into action. (That is if you haven't read it). As you usually say, please refer to the Grand Sage Wiki for further information. ^^
cant talk...waxing dolphin...
Looks like some people are not ashamed/afraid anymore to talk about their private practices/reactions to arousing pictures. ^^;
you know what? this would serve as a wonderful coloring book for me. i promise to put all of my heart into coloring it
-or all of your wax.
Lol!
lol im happy that i dont live in the US. Cnesoring something like this... even the scanlations. Well different cultures different rules. (Example: In Germany its allowed to sunbath naked in public parks, noone cares xD)
I've been reading Tenjo Tenge in German because it's uncencored. I guess we all know what happened to the US release... I hope that Gantz would be okay when it'll be released in the US soon.
Gantz is being handled by DarkHorse I believe, they don't censor much of their stuff unlike CMX. Those fools are pretty ignorant.
I think, overall, Dark Horse has the best manga selection and most accurate translations of all the US comic companies that handle manga. Most of Tokyopop and CMX's lineup is garbage (IMO), and they even flub translations.
indeed, the only downside is the price of some of those mangas. i still haven't collected all the blade of the immortal yet
Hah! I have a friend who started collecting the manga when it was published as a monthly. Never got around to finishing it. I loved the fact that they didn't just flip the pages to suit western readers, and instead cut-and-paste the panels for western reading.
this is one of the reasons i want to watch this manga and its anime version. if the subbed one is censored then i would just have to watch the unsubbed version [ or so called RAW version[ instead
I...I...I must read it!!!! in english of course..^^;
excuse me as i wax my dolphin *fap fap fap* good gad! i'm so getting the scanlations of this =3
ハァッ... 侵入すること残念なプライバシー huh...Sorry to invade you privacy....
Sorry to nuke your fantasy, but the scanlations are censored :(
finally I decided to join ^^ after a long watch for like 2 months or so lol so that pic supposedly some teaser for the 8th tankoubon right?...it sure works :p
はじめまして, よろしくおねがいします
there's so much oppai...i think the mangaka went a bit overboard with the fanservice. *nosebleeds to death*
Need more fanservice of Haruna and Yami-chan!! Don't need the rest!
Ooh didnt realise about the fuigana. I may even try to read this in the original. You know Reading practice ^^
GLaD to know I'm not the only one losing the ability to distinguish SFW from NSFW.
lol. danny's site can be pretty nsfw. but i don't think that stops most of us anyway.
Interesting manga, can't wait for the anime ^^; Well, I think I'm at about 150-170 kanji signs. Need to get to 250-300 for JLPT level 3 ;p and btw, I passed my JLPT level 4 ^^;
i can't remember where i heard of this series, but now it's a definite buy whenever a new volume comes out ^_^ 日本語が読めない人達、がんばってね！ ．．．と日本語で書いたら意味ないじゃない．．． すまん、俺馬鹿だから！
Can't find the raw manga for this!!!!! Try Babelfish as a translation site..^^
toloveru is good. I read it everyweek. Really looking forward to the anime.
My Kanji is coming along like a Glacier stuck in LA TRAffic.
Sugoi! Now if this was the way schoolbooks were written I'd be an honor student since grade school ^^ As for learning....ano...I've learned the whole hiragana already. Starting tomorrow - katakana and after that kanji I think XD
o_O I'm not proficient enough to read raws yet, but...wow. I've been reading scanlations all along and never realized the original was like this. I'm feeling cheated right now. Very much so. Motivation for learning to read just went up several notches.
didn't you find it weird that the scanlations didn't have nipples?
Your right, I found that weird. Seriously, since when do scanalators become censurers. I hate censorship in any form, be it for verbal or visual.
No, I...just didn't notice and assumed they were drawn that way to begin with. I'm like a mindless, willing victim of censors. Wow.
Ah- have yet to try looking for RAW scans of this ^^; My Kanji isn't going well, since I don't take classes, and don't feel very drived to learn. All the Japanese I've learned up til now is based on self-study and have learned a LOT from watching anime.
Here's the link....vol 1-6...enjoy...^^

Someone's a little defensive. hahah! just joking danny. I think you've given me reason enought to start searching for this manga. hahah
hmm total blood loss! just a shriviled up pile of minerals... sigh..
Anyone know of scanalations that are translated that DON'T censor?
There are tons of uncensored-translated hentai manga scanlations in http://www.thelurker.net/ (but you have to use IRC), but for normal manga.. I have no idea. >_<
I think Luscious is the best site for hentai and doujin: http://lu.scio.us/ Japanese AND English scans, so handy for wanting to practice or just read. ^^ No registration, which is optional, or anything - just ads, like normal.
That's-that's-opp- *instantaneous implosion of nasal and cranial blood vessels*
em.... is that image from Volume 8? i only got volume 1-5 and i love them (epescially the uncensored parts xDDD).
Currently reading this, it makes a great mix with the " A guide to remembering Japanese characters ". It's a pretty decent manga. (-.=)/
My study of kanji has just begun, but I got the book that Danny recomended too help me out. I hope it will help me out.
k hachiroku like? I am too.
I don't recall ToLoveRu contain those 'juicy' stuff ? Or am I reading the censored version up till now. *shock*
So are the scanlations on OneManga.com (link below) censored?! What ever happened to keeping manga/anime as uneditted as possible when subbing/translating?! Don't translate it if you're going to be like those companies that already ruin some of the good mangas (Tenjou Tenge anyone?)... http://www.onemanga.com/To-LOVE-ru/
Yeah, I think Maximum 7 censored it, cuz I saw an page that was shown on that Akiba site that showed nipples, but the scanlation not showing any....That, or they were doing scans from the magazine & not the manga book itself. Really hoping it's the 2nd guess.
Nope, I was wrong. Turns out their scanlation is from the magazine. The manga itself added nipples, which explains why. I'm alright w/ that. Perhaps later, they can replace the magazine scans w/ the manga scans.
nice
