So as I’m sure many may know, Meraki Scans which translates a large number of webtoons just received a cease and desist letter for many of the series. As such although it’s possible that Meraki asked other groups to take over, I wouldn’t know, I am putting out a request for other groups to possibly rise up to take over these newly orphaned series. Although a couple are on hiatus the following series are currently in need of a home:

Chronicles of the Heavenly Demon: https://mangadex.org/title/34144/chronicles-of-heavenly-demon

Lawless Zone: https://mangadex.org/title/31889/lawless-zone

Volcanic Age: https://mangadex.org/title/23232/volcanic-age

Peerless Dad: https://mangadex.org/title/29130/peerless-dad
Picked up by Jaimini’s Box: confirmed

Raid: https://mangadex.org/title/33277/raid

Skeleton Soldier Couldn’t Protect the Dungeon: https://mangadex.org/title/28778/skeleton-soldier-couldn-t-protect-the-dungeon
Appears to have been picked up by One Shot Scans

Solo Leveling: https://mangadex.org/title/31477/solo-leveling
picked up by Jaimini’s Box: confirmed

The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor: https://mangadex.org/title/14676/the-legendary-moonlight-sculptor
possibly picked up by Hatigarm: not confirmed

Returner Scans already picked up “A Returner’s Magic Should be Special”.

Please post below if you are representing a group that wants to take over one of these series, this way we will know what home each series goes to and hopefully prevent some wasted resources from overlap work.

hatigarm scans posted that they will be taking up legendary moonlight sculptor

 

[pc03hachibee]

too sad there should be a release of Peerless Dad today or tomorrow..

 

[Sepulchre]

Jaminis box said they would take red storm and solo leveling.

I hope someone does decide to pick up Raid even though it's one of the less popular ones. It got pretty charming after the initial clunky story arc. Also, Shield Waifu is laifu.

Just putting it out there for the record: I will edit the original post to show what series still need groups. Also unless there is an actual release or a link to the group saying they will take up the series I’ll take any accounts given on this thread as possible but not confirmed

 

[Sepulchre]

Or you know, you could take a quick glance to any of their discords and see the OG post. Takes idk 3 minutes?

Heavenly Demon has been picked up by No Group

 

[TheCelestialBeing]

heavenly demon was picked up by no group they released a chapter yesterday https://mangadex.org/title/34144/chronicles-of-heavenly-demon

edit: i found a reddit with a screenshot of jaminis box discord saying they will pick up solo leveling, red storm and possibly others that meraki has dropped https://www.reddit.com/r/manga/comments/am3dhs/jb_is_picking_up_some_series_dropped_by_meraki/

We picked up Peerless Dad, as announced~

 

[Quadclops]

Hopefully someone grabs Volcanic Age when it returns.

 

[ABCsOfLife]

@yunomi I'm a bit confused, since it appear Jaimini's Box also pick it up in their site, did you guys host it on their site?

 

[kuroneko66]

Ditto

 

[yunomi]

@ABCsOfLife check my profile. I'm the Admin for all those teams 😄

I use Spiral Scans to upload to MD so people don't have to wait to read it for long (Since JB has a 2 week delay).
However that will change in a couple weeks 😃 and chapters will be updated using JB account again.

 

[naturaltueur]

@yunomi Hey, you're leading a really big group, could you please take care of releasing Chronicles of the Heavenly Demon/Raid please? They are not the best but i'm sure they will attract people's too.

 

[yunomi]

@naturaltueur I believe an Anon team will pick that up. Or has already.

Trust them, their quality will be just as good as Meraki 😉

 

[severin]

Looks like One Shot Scans at least picked up the latest chapter of Skeleton Soldier

 

[NibbPower]

As far as I know, all the projects already been taken by other bigger groups. I can't recall which group took which but I do know that hatigarm, jaiminis box, and so much other has took at least one or two of those projects.

Lawless Zone and Raid haven't had any activity since the C&D. i haven't actually read Lawless Zone, but i started Raid the day before C&D hit...
Raid is currently on ch 75 so whomever chooses to translate it has a bit of content right there. To the group that does decide to pick up raid, you don't have to match Meraki's pace of 1 a day. Something like 1 every 3-4 days/2 a week would be wonderful.
