Kanzenshuu

Please tell me this has no perolas.


This is the edition for the people that want the faithful translation we deserved from the start.

If anyone's looking for pérolas, then they better stick to our terrible dub. My mission statement is to be as faithful to the original as possible while still ...

Glad you're enjoying it

Luso Saiyan wrote: Tue Feb 04, 2025 6:31 am Is the next volume scheduled for the end of this month?

Things I'm not at liberty to say

All I can say is expect Volume 2 real soon .

By the way, do you know if these releases are going to be monthly?



I'm not privy to that sort of information, but apparently, a representative for Devir said on Instagram that it's going to be quarterly, i.e., every three months.

Considering these are 3-in-1 volumes, that equates to one ...

It's apparently selling out! People are having trouble snagging a copy for themselves and stores that got a shipment of 25 copies have been selling all of them out in a matter of hours!

@jrdemr I'm curious about how you handled "Son kun". Were there any other alternatives on the table or was "Son son" the consensus? I don't know how Devir handles it in other manga. It's one of those weird instances in a translation to portuguese, because it's not like "chan" where it can be ...

The day has come! It's out there! Go grab it!

I already have my copy! (But I have perks, so I didn't pay a single dime for it )

Congrats! I know how hard you've been working toward this! That's incredible!


Thanks! I could hardly believe it myself when I was given the project :D

Right now, I know about as much as you do.

Congratulations! Hopefully this translation gets to cover the whole original manga.



Devir isn't exactly known for leaving stuff unfinished :wink:



Do these get sold to Macau as well since people speak Portuguese over there?



I have no idea, but I would assume not. You'd have to import ...

Sadly, no, she wasn't familiar with the series

No one should worry too much about how things are spelled, the fandom should be tolerant with it.



I mean... some things are just outright wrong and should be avoided at all costs :lol: (Namely, dub terminology)



I believe having hired a fan in the Team is a great move from the publishing ...

As stated before, expect translation notes for nearly every name in the series
I was actually given near full freedom by my editor to write them.

I see. I was mostly referring to character names and races, but I can understand from a marketing standpoint that you would be forced to use more recognizable names like "Tartaruga Genial", etc. I never bought the ASA volumes, so I don't know how they translated stuff like Saiyajins (it would be ...

Congrats. Will this be the Kanzenban version?


No. It's essentially everything that's in the Japanese tankoubon, just in a 3-in-1 format.



And do you have any mandate to use certain names and terminology from Shueisha?


No. I cannot go into much detail on this particular topic (which is a ...

That's really cool!
Noticing the "Volume triplo" text up top on that image... Does that mean that these are three-in-ones? I mean I'm not Portuguese and don't know the language, just... that's what it looks like to me at least.

Yeah, these are three-in-ones. I wanted to try to convince my editor ...

It was cancelled at Volume 18.

Thanks! If it sells well, they might be inclined to also bring over Super and other Toriyama works!

I have no idea how I managed to forget to post this news in here, but I suppose better late than never.

It is with unbridled joy that I hereby announce that I have been selected as the official Portuguese translator for manga publishing house Devir's new project: the one, the only DRAGON BALL :D :D ...

Well I think it's also an issue of wanting to give viewers an option to enjoy a good English dub with the original Kikuchi score. There isn't really a completely great English dub experience if you only have the Yamamoto and Sumitomo scores (though I do really like the Yamamoto score for quite a ...

As for DBZ Recut… It’s something I’d still like to do, but the way in which I want to do it, if I want to do it right , may not be something I have the time or energy for anymore.

If I went about it in the same way that I went about editing DB Recut, then it actually wouldn’t be too difficult ...
