Naruto is always translated as quickly as possible with One Piece and Bleach not being too far behind. But I find it annoying that it takes an anime for other manga to get top priority when it comes to trnaslation. I've recently gotten into the Jump series Assassintion Classroom (hence the Korosensei avatar) and it's frickin' awesome, there are 77 chapters but only 74 of them are translated. I'm very annoyed by that, especially since the manga is being very well recieved in japan. If Shingeki no kyojin never got that anime I bet only 40 of the chapters would be translated. I understand manga like Naruto and One Piece being translated first but for other manga to get so neglected is really annoying to me. It's really ridiculous, like wtf are the translators doing?

Assassination Classroom 77 chapters - 74 translated
Prison School 125 chapters - 97 translated
Blood Lad - 53 chapters - 35 translated

And there ALOT of other manga that are way behind in translations...Oh how I wish I could read kanji.

Anyways does anyone else get annoyed by this?

Yes it is annoying , the popular ones get more attention & are always first before the lower ones , I don't like it either , but hey it's not like I translate anyways , it's better when they get an anime adaptation , it help with the releases .

It also depends on the translation teams doing the work , If you're Gonna take your time & work on set mangas to translate , don't stop doing it & finish what you start it .

Blood lad has that many chapters out :mad: I knew that the more popular mangas were the faster the translation, but I didn't know Blood lad was so behind!

Honestly I'm at the point where I don't even mind half-assed translations because I look at the raw chapters and it looks so epic sometimes. I just wish other manga wouldn't be overlooked so regularly.

Hell yeah man, there's a website where you can read raw chapters and I was baffled when I saw how many chapters Blood Lad had that could be trnaslated. And Blood is frickin' epic too, alot of these manga that aren't translated right away like Blood Lad and Assassination Classroom are much better than some of these popular high priority manga (like Fairy Tail isn't that great imo)

really?! you can read kanji or something or do you go to a website? Cause that would be EXTREMELY helpful :x3:
