Phantasy Star Online 2 Episode 0 (Manga) Discussion (Chapter 5 out)

[loafhero]

As of this post, the manga is yet to be released but from what is said from Anime News Network, the release of the 1st chapter will be in February (this month, as of this posting). Better to start early, I say. Like with the "Episode 4 Discussion" thread, the purpose of this thread is to discuss about the latest chapters.

I'll try to update the title of this thread as soon as the latest chapters are out. For example, if Chapter 2 of the manga is out, I will edit the title to "Phantasy Star Online 2 Episode 0 (Manga) Discussion (Current: Chapter 2)". This way, those that aren't informed of the latest release and especially if their done discussing the previous chapter will know a new chapter is out.

As a surprising amount of users here intend to support the original work such as via purchasing Shōnen Ace (the magazine that the manga is being featured in), I believe its best that we try to avoid doing the following:

• Posting the RAWs or links to the RAWs
• Posting the full chapters or links to the full chapters that did not come from Shonen Ace or Comic Walker website
• Posting a full page or links to the full page of the chapters

What we can try to do:

• Posting one panel (that is, the small boxes displaying a scene within a page)
• Posting a link to the chapters from the Shonen Ace website or Comic Walker
• Simply making a post that informs others that the latest chapter or RAWs are released (no links, no images, just inform it through words)

There are no penalties to disregarding the "Don'ts", there's nothing to stop any of you from doing so and you won't be verbally called out on it (at least, not by me). Any of you are free to view the RAWs or scanlations at your own leisure. The only reason to adhere to the Do's and Don'ts here is out of respect for those that want to support the original work and out of respect for the author.

I am currently not aware of any possible translation team planning to translate the manga. Chances are, the manga will remain untranslated to us indefinitely. If any of you have an understanding of Japanese, feel free to summarize the contents of a chapter here.

This is the link of the author's Twitter for those that want to know more about the manga.
