Kinda funny that I remember this only now, but it's Golden Week in Japan. The holiday means most people aren't working in Japan. Most people include mangakas. This means no manga this week.

Most scanlation teams would use this break to catch up on late chapters but here, at the NBST, we don't.

We're still on semi operational status and I've have exams coming up so Golden Week won't be used for scans.

on the other hand, I've written an online chapter viewer. It works for all chapters currently available.
I should update all posts and their download links gradually to include a link to the online viewer.

try this one:

I figured many read the scans from their work place or don't want to bother extracting the files.
It's still a beta version meaning that there could be a bug or two in there. But it should work good enough.

As you may have noticed, we've added some ads here and there on the site.

This isn't the regular Rants and Raves kind of announcement, so pay attention.
Note: this post may be updated from time to time to include examples as the cases pop up. the latest version of the redistribution rules can always be found here:

Well might as keep the place busy to avoid it being overrun by spam bots.



From the last OP chapter i tried to work on but will never finish....





Nothing new concerning the situation of the NBST. We're still... where ever that is we are....
I've been thinking(I do that a lot), that since i don't have enough time right now to work on all scanlation projects, I might as well concentrate on the easiest of them. i.e. Naruto. For once, Mashashi's simpler drawing style is of some use. I might update with a Naruto release so watch this space.

On the darker side(or brighter depending on your alignment), NBForums.net is up. Ain't that cool? Co-administered by No OnE, Krusnix and myself.

Go over there and before you even consider registering, READ THE FUCKIN' RULES. I put them on the registration from for that very purpose.
I can't believe the number of newbs that come on our forums just to affirm their moronic existence.

Also if you want your weekly manga fix, head to mangahelpers. The've been quite active and have revamped their interface quite a bit. A bit too narrow if you ask me...

Seems we'll be out of the scanlation scene for a little longer than expected. Yeah. I know. Old news.

Currently, I'm trying to finish college... with limited success... and frankly, i don't see myself editing a raw page of manga before the end of march.

I'll try to rough up the rest of the crew from time to time so there might be an odd release now and then...

to show that NBST will never just roll over and die...
