Jumbor 9 & 1 Decade of Mankin-Trad!
It’s been a long time coming… but here’s Jumbor chapter 9! Sorry for the delay, but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless! Also, we are already hard at work on chapter 10, so that should come out in a little while. But the real reason you are here is…
Today, March 4th, 2015 is Mankin-Trad’s Birthday!
We are now 10 years old.
That’s a decade! We started off as just a French scanlation group for Shaman King manga. The original key members being Kamisama, Nux, and BadS. The later two have moved onto other things since then. but Kami has been around since day 1!
We’ve moved from servers to servers, expanded and condensed the website, added near countless staff members, but we’ve made it all this time. It’s kinda crazy to think we’ve been doing this for a full decade now. And we do it because… we just want to know what happens next in the story of Shaman King. It’s as simple as that.
I doubt that most people reading this remember all the way back to the beginning, and that’s fine. In the internet world, 10 years is a really long time. But I hope during this time you’ve help support Hiroyuki Takei and the Shaman King series by purchasing as much stuff as you can. I know I have!
So thank you to everyone who has helped with a release during these last 10 years, and thank you to all of you for enjoying our releases!
Now onto the fun stuff! Since it’s a birthday party, right!?
Here’s a very large image (7MBs) that contains almost everyone of our “cover images” that have been featured on the main page of Mankin-Trad. I’m missing only a few for the English releases.
Also, on my tumblr, I’ll be posting a bunch of images from Mankin-Trad’s past, so if you are interested be sure to check that out!
Oh, and as a temporary change… I’ve updated the banner to the earliest image file I had on record (at least 2007)!
