2) Asking for or providing full scans is a violation of copyright and not allowed. I can't control what you do through private messages or on your own time, but they will not be tolerated in this forum. Posting short snippets, one or two pages for discussion, is fine though.

3) Going off of the above, no linking to scanslation sites or projects. Don't even mention them. If you read scanslations, great; we don't want to know about it.

I thought Ono's manga was the only Pokémon manga. :sweatlol:

Hehehe! 'Kedit', I love that word!

I thought Ono's manga was the only Pokémon manga.

Nope! While Toshiro Ono's Pokemon manga, being based on the anime, is by far the most well-known and popular of the Pokemon mangas, there are several others. I now display my uber-mod powers by listing the ones I know of:

Pokemon Special (aka Pokemon Adventures), by Hidenori Kusaka
Pokemon PiPiPi Adventure (aka Magical Pokemon Journey), by Yumi Tsukirino
Chamo-Chamo Pretty, by Yumi Tsukirino
Pokemon comic strip, by Ashura Benimaru
Pokemon 4-koma strip (different from above), by ??? (shall check the next time I see Blackjack Gabbiani)
Pokemon Getto da ze, by Miho Asada
Pokemon Zensho, by Satomi Nakamura
Pokemon Card ni Natte Wake, by Kagemaru Himeno (I don't know WHY I keep mixing him up with that singer from Dragon Ball Z...) (each volume comes with a special promo TCG card!)
Satoshi and Pikachu (aka Ash and Pikachu), by ??? (I'll check the next time I'm at Kinokuniya)
Golden Boys (aka Pokemon Gold and Silver), by ??? (I'll check the next time I see Blackjack)


Check the sticky thread on how to buy manga to find out, well, how to buy all these manga! ^^

Well, I *tried* to put the spoiler way down on the page






by hitting 'return' a lot






kinda like this...but evidently it didn't work.
And I'll bring those to the sleepover tomorrow.


EDIT--and the card books are by Kagemaru Himeno

Should it also be noted that some people refer to Yonkoma as "gag manga"? To avoid confusion and stuff like that...

 

[Blackjack Gabbiani]

Also, I've always heard it said "4-Koma" as in "Four-Koma", because of the four panels...

 

[Shiksa ♥]

Yes, it can be Yon-koma because "yon" is 4 in Japanese. I think that's what Hyper Togepi was referring to.

I did say in the very first post in this thread that "4-koma" is pronounced "yon-koma"...
