This is the "Total Death Avoidance" Release.



A scanlation from time to time to avoid becoming totally inactive... and therefore totally dead.

The download link:


Motivating the troops is tough after slacking for so long....

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...

So much for playing possum...

ZEHAAAAAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!

and now a moment of silence for Portgas D. Ace...

.....

.....

.....

okay then, scanlation download link:



Something I noticed while working on this chapter.
Ace's attacks follow a certain pattern:

Hitarubi Hidaruma

Shinka Shinarui

Juu Jika

(Dai) Enkai Entei

The attack names are all composed of 2 phrases and they rhyme with each other. Methinks it be a sort of Japanese wordplay or even some kind of flowery way of speech.
Nifty.

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...

well Cross Epoch is a crossover DragonBall X One Piece. Characters from both series partake in a mini story which is not necessarily related to the mains storyline of either series.

Akira Toriyama and Eiichiro Oda met up one day and decided to create this fine piece of manga.
It's nice to see Toriyama's drawing style again. Although I must admit that it feels a bit out of date.

For those who do not know of Akira Toriyama or Dragon Ball, SHAME ON THEE!
Dragon Ball was one of the more enjoyable mangas in the late 80's to early 90's. Since the series is so popular, it has been widely published internationally and you shouldn't find it too difficult to buy some copies(unless you live in a backwater country)

With this manga , Oda is probably realising one of his wishes. He is after all known to be a great Toriyama fan

We managed to do this release thanks to NJT back at mangahelpers.com. If it wasn't for his translation, we'd have nothing to work with.
