Happy New Year!

To finish off 2013 and start 2014, we have a double release for you today! Firstly it’s the start of “Mappa Douji II” from Shaman King Zero! That’s a full 46 pages of content! Plus we included the card file that came with the issue as well. And… we are test driving a brand new resolution. Now the pages are at 1800px high instead of 1500px. So the manga should really “pop” now! Let us know if that works out for you or if it’s too much manga to handle!!!

Next is a very, very, very special release of “Funbari No Uta.” Yeah, we are adding another chapter to that series. This is the “lost chapter” of Funbari No Uta. Why is it considered lost? Since it was only printed once in “Akamaru Jump” and never reprinted again. But we were able to dig out this gem for all of you to enjoy! Even people in Japan may not have read this chapter, so consider yourself lucky to even see it!

2014 is going to be another busy year for us at Mankin-Trad! We are a month behind with Zero chapter 7 and Flowers 19. But don’t worry we’ll catch back up! We have a bunch of other special releases in the works. Plus Jumbor too! I haven’t forgotten about that yet. And if all goes to plan… maybe even our first official Mankin-Trad fansub? Branching out to alot of new and exciting things for next year! Hopefully you’ve enjoyed our releases in 2013 , and the back-end upgrade to the site from earlier in the year. Thanks to all of the Mankin-Trad staff for a good 2013, and I look forward to working with all of you (and more!) in 2014! And of course, thanks to you the readers for coming to our site to be part of the community! Happy New Year! (if it’s 2002, or 2014!)
