The title of the Manga is simply Metroid from what I can make out. The japanese Text below the title is just the kanji (hirigana or katakana I don't know).

メトロイド (Metroid)

pulled that from the japanese wiki site for my comparison though it looks like a weird font they used.

thanks primarlypurple ^_^

Ok, here's a zip with all chapters of volume 1 in there. That way, unlike the shops in FF1, you don't have to download them one at a time :)

I'm going to update the first post with this info too.

no I am not finishing the translation. as in my previous post it states that the MDb has a 'brand new translation'. I'm not a part of that project so I assume their is some one else taking it over.

The was me BTW, I forgot to log in.

But it is disappointing because you were already so far and know we are going to have to wait a very long time to get at the very least to the point were it is know. And you did do a very good job thus far.

Hmm... until you mentioned it here I didn’t even notice this bit:
You should expect new translations of the other chapters coming down the pipe over the next few months.


I prefer the snoopycool version stylistically too, so far. I think it’s a shame you won’t be finishing it, but I suppose there are a lot of other projects for snoopy to work on if someone else is translating Metroid. Although if future chapters of this new translation are also going to be in color( which they may or may not, since that’s where the e-manga ended), I might pester you as I would really rather prefer black and white( well, actually, I would prefer to have both versions, but given the choice, I would choose monochrome like the source).

Still, it is... rather odd and a bit rude that this popped up unexpectedly and you weren’t even told when you and your wife and friends have been working so hard to do this for the community.

So, admins, are we gonna get a little more background on this new translation? You know, who, how often, reasons, etc.?
