Hello,

I'm here in Tokyo, Japan (for 10 more days) reading manga and watching anime.
At the end of Gunnm in Ultrajump this week there is an announcement by Ultrajump. It requires a translator. It is an FYI and mentions June and August. It also mentions Ultrajump MegaMix Vol.2. If you need a better photo, feel free to ask.
I wasn't quite sure where to post this, so I'm sending it to the forum and newsroom. If you post this, no need to mention me in the announcement since I'm only providing a copy of the announcement.



Regards,
Javantea aka. Joel R. Voss

Wow, she's starting to look more like Alba than Alba looked like her. I wonder if the author's taking notes.

I think it just says Last Order is taking a 2 month break?

It will skip June, July, and August issues of Ultra Jump because the author was asked to draw a special cover and a short spinoff (of GUNNM Last Order) for Ultra Jump Megamix. It will then resume serialization in the September issue. Period.

The girl in picture is NOT Gally/Alita. She is spoiler[the orphan girl adopted by the owner of Bar Kansas].

Your super fast translation is very much appreciated dormcat. I'm glad that there's such a big fanbase behind Gunnm. I have to say that my trip to Japan was partially to find out where this storyline is going. We haven't seen Gally in 9 phases or something. Now I see... spoiler[I still have no clue what's going on from 7 on. Anime smile]

Regards,
Javantea

I pretty much figured it was another character; I was just joking around.

Her name is Koyomi I think. She haven't been around for a while...

I happen to have the Japanese volume 8. Want me to spoil it?

Monumension, I appreciate the offer. I'd be happy to hear an explanation. I'm planning on translating it word for word once I get my kanji skills up, but I'm still at the reading level of Shounen Weekly Jump. I'm still waiting for Viz to publish Vol 8.
