[kenjimaru]

Raw providers are great. Without them maybe no translations and no scanlations . FH needs raw providers for sure. Anyone with access to raw and can scan - yaaaaaaaaarrr - be pirate like me.

you want to be a raw provider?

yes actually... I live in nyc and there's a store here in time square that imports weekly jump and shonen jump (as well as other manga publications) on a weekly basis...it's usually a week behind if not less and I've already picked up shonen jump 16 and 17 and they run relatively cheap for me at only 4.40 USD and issue.


This is my first test scan when i took the scanner out of the box this morning:

I have no idea what manga it is, i just took a random page outta shonen jump.


Any direction you can offer me will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
