GDW 30-35 (AKA The Monkey Arc)

Here it is, folks, the moment you've been waiting for! It's GDW Volumes 30-35 (The Monkey Arc), translated in English!

Some quick notes:

  • I didn't bother translating the Character descriptions in the beginning. I figured any Ginga fans should know about the characters by now. I included them in the downloads anyway.
  • I've revised, revised, and revised this entire arc over and over again, and yet I'm still not convinced I've fixed all the mistake. If you see anything that you think is a mistake (typo, missing page, etc.), please let me know ASAP so I can fix it.
  • If you do decide to share these downloads, I request that you give me credit for the typesetting and translations. This took me a lot of time and effort, after all!
Without further ado, here are the downloads.

  1. 6 whole volumes? The entire Monkey arc? OMI you are amazing!!
    How many people have wanted to read this for so many years, thank you so much for finally making it happen!
    How long did this take you, I'm really impressed by all the work you put into it!

    I'll need to write a proper comment once I find the time to read them all, but so much excite! :D

    1. Thank you! This took me almost a year to complete. If I had more knowledge about Japanese back then, this probably would've taken me 6 months. :P

  4. Hi Fanta, I just finished reading your translations yesterday and I am floored. While I do own the original manga, a lot of the scenes hit the emotional beats so much better when you can actually understand what's going on. I didn't think it would happen, but I actually got a bit teary-eyed and choked up when Gin told an already dead Yukimura that he was proud of him and that his mother would've been too; the whole sequence is heart wrenching honestly.

    I thank you for your hard work and dedication to this project. It means a lot that someone is willing to use a lot of their free time to make other folks happy :)I have a new-found appreciation for this arc now and will look forward to re-reading it many times in the future. Thank you.

    P.S. Thanks for providing estimation of kilometers to miles at certain points. I don't know why the US doesn't teach the metric system xD It'd probably simplify things for a lot of people.
