Seriously, in Japan, Volume 71 came out today, while we don't get Volume 68 till next month, why are they so far ahead? Translating can't be that hard, considering we get the chapters faster than Japan does.

1. Not only do you have to translate, you have to ship them out, make copies etc.

Okay....any logical reason?

translating is not the only thing that occurs. Works like redrawing also have to be done.

it is alot more work than you think. Most translated manga sites have a team working on it as soon as the raws are released. There are sometimes narrative descriptions that cover the pictures. For example..look at the latest chapter(Flashbacks).

It has to be redrawn a fair bit and changed to english.

Next time..please use your head before asking silly questioms.

Volume is official release or not a free copy materials like weekly chapter release

volume is what actual manga book is and where the money actually is that mean it take time for authorized resaller to make a copy of manga volumes

Same as VIZ translation of chapters

not like free illegal chapters we read every week.
