So, I tried to measure how long my hair is with a yard stick...
...the yard stick wasn't long enough. :eek:
...Oh...you're just here for the manga...well, gee then... :blush:


ASTRO BOY
2003
VOLUME 2 - ENGLISH
IS UP FOR DOWNLOAD!!

NOTES:
If you didn't read my previous post, these scans are actual scans of my own book instead of the edited Chinese scans I did for vol. 1. It's still in the same two-pages per image format and I tried to get as much visible from the middle as possible...without breaking the spine of my book. :d oh: Some words did end up getting cut off in some places, but nothing important...if you can't read something and are dying to know what it is, just ask me. ;)

Also, when I scanned them I tried to correct the lighting and shading, but I may have been too liberal with the leveling...hehehe...hurm...well, I think it looks good...

On a last note, my scanner saved the images in a b/w format that's different from what I used to use, so if anyone has trouble viewing them let me know and I'll correct it. If not, then yippee.

By the way, if you want to get your hands on some copies for yourself, the person I purchased mine from on eBay always has plenty in stock. They are in Australia, so it takes a while to arrive if you are in America (and they only reply in chat speak...which is annoying...) but they are worth it. You can get them here.

Oh, about the manga, Diachi fans rejoice - that guy gets a whole back-story added in this volume. It's actually a pretty sad story...awww...but, besides that, I think this volume really shows which characters Himekawa favors. Namely, Daichi, Epsilon, Kusuko, and Tenma :tenma: . These guys seem to really dominate the pages they are on. :3 I guess even manga artists can't prevent favoritism, lol.

Well, until the next volume is scanned, audios.

Yeah. Pretty short. But, the last volume gives the series a ton of back story.
Remember that short movie about the birth of Astro they have for sale/download on the Japanese website? Yeah, that's basically chapters 8-10 in volume 3. :D Huzzah!

Also, as far as the leveling goes, I think it looked fine. And the turned-in quality on the inner borders of the pages due to your scanning method didn't really detract from reading the manga at all, save for a few words that were pretty easy to decipher thanks to the visual nature of the panels.
