Potential Projects

This is a list of interesting manga I’ve found, many by artists who have never been scanlated. We’ll pick most future projects from this list, but we’ll never get to all of them; I do have raws (scans or digital) for many of them, if another group is interested in starting any. Do let me know if you see another group planning any of them (so we don’t overlap) and feel free to spread the word about anything you like!

Notes:
1) Summaries are rough translations, without context, from publisher summaries. I haven’t actually read any of these. Expect errors.
2) Download samples are often LQ and are not necessarily the raws I have to work with.
3) Happily accepting freelance editors for any of these titles. See our FAQ.

Note: We’re not updating this blog list. It’s grown to near 200 possible titles, but we’ll leave this list here so you can get an idea of the variety of manga we like.
