I have two "The Diary of Ma-chan" strips.

But, I thought this was a fun forum!

For your information, linking to the official Tezuka site can not possibly be a "no-no".

First off, this is a fun forum. But it's supposed to be fun for everyone.

Now then, despite my first reaction being that asking someone to translate those strips (besides being a waste of time - imho) is a no-no. After some thought, a translation "script" shouldn't be a problem (if you can get it), but asking for a scanlation is not. By the strictest sense, I'm guessing that the English script would be copyright to the translator and not actually Tezuka Productions.

Having said all that, the artwork is copyright... in any language.

Linking to the official Tezuka site isn't a no-no... but stealing stuff off there is.

Also, metropolisforever - try not to post several posts a minute or two apart. Take a breath and post all your thoughts at once. Posting again and again (and replying to yourself) may be considered spammiing and annoys the other posters.

I'm not asking for scanlations!

ok, that's alright... I think it's just a matter of being clear with your intent. Ada and I have been working on getting official sanctioning from Tezuka Productions, so we have to be rather careful about what goes on here. We're not trying to limit anyone's fun, but we have to make sure that we stay within bounds so that we can continue to have fun for a long time to come.
