Ah people I need MORE NEW CLEANERS! T.T Please just take the test and try your best! It needs not to be super perfect. T.T

Two of our cleaners have emergency issues they have to tend to right now. One doesn't even have a laptop! So please just apply, even if you can help us out for two months, etc.

Oh grab the chapters here!

Dear Gantz readers, I just had one of my exam last Friday and I was very exhausted, but here is the chapter 332 for you. I hope to bring chapter 333 and 334 to you at the same time next week but no promise. Since I have more exams. haha I will try though. :)

One of our core cleaner has some crisis in real life and can no longer clean for us (or for a long while I think), so it'd be nice if anybody will be willing to clean for us and take the exam on the forum. We need a new core cleaner! >.<

On another note, the proofreading recruitment for Gantz is now close. But if anybody interest in proofreading Shiki, please apply here.

Thank you very much for reading this and hopefully there will be some kind soul applying for the positions mentioned above. *bows*

Gantz 330 and 331

Hello people, I'm back. I've been very busy with my personal life so it was very hard to catch up with all the chapters but here they are. Brought to you by Whatever!

I'm looking for a new proofreader for Gantz, if anybody interest please apply for the position. Our old proofreader Antagonist has decided to go into retirement. Thanks a lot for all your works, Antagonist!

So please apply for the position if you are confident in your language skill. The test is on the forum.

Christmas and new year releases!

I will release chapter 329 shortly afterward and hopefully 330 as well. (Although that might be hard since it's christmas holidays. But we will try~)

We got two new members last week, Lunatika and Badr. So let's officially welcome them to Whatever by announcing it here! Lunatika will be our colourist from now on, please cheer on her works. :D

Enjoy the chapter!

For Shiki fans, I will give the next chapter to you as a christmas present. Have a nice evening people.

Hello people. If you have a question regarding our release date, read the post below.

Also I want you guys to read about the alien language in the post below as well, so please read. If you want us to add the alphabet chart into each chapter, we will, you just need to tell us.

Here, grab the chapter and enjoy.

One more thing I forgot to mention. Don't forget that we are still looking for more members since there are not so many people to help out on the Gantz project. Visit our forums for the test and apply!

Edit: Ok, it was not exactly a change, it's more like the whole chapter was re-translated again by our japanese proofreader. So if this is the first time you guys see this message, just go ahead and download it. But if not, then redownload the chapter. The previous translation is just far too off.

The alien language

I know that many have already known this, but I would like to make a post about it since we never raised this topic up before. The reason that I never tried to add a translation for an alien language was because I think we were supposed to read the manga in the perspective of humans. However there was an anonymous from 2ch who already decrypted it. I think I should make an official post about it once and for all, for those who want to translate it. If any of you prefer, I can add this into the credit page from now on, you just need to tell me but I won't translate it.(Thanks Kaminos who provided me with this information.)

translation

For those who have been waiting impatiently for Gantz, I'm currently having my final exams (as well as my other members) so I'm not going fast. Albeit chapter 327 is already clean and translated. I only have to check it. I will release it within this week but chapter 328 won't come out so fast either. I will not be so active until after the seventeenth of December.

As for Shiki, I will release it after the 17th. Hope you understand.

As TM has mentioned many times in her release announcements, we are always in need of talented staff members that enjoy these books as much as we do.  The more staff we have helping us, the faster we can release these wonderful books to you.  So, in an effort to refine our recruitment procedures, we have revamped the recruitment section of our forum.  In addition to making the existing process smoother, we have also added sections for proofreaders and typesetters.  So if you think you qualify to help us with cleaning, translating, typesetting, or proofreading, we welcome you to go through the recruitment process and hopefully become one of our valuable staff members.  You won't regret it ^_^
Cheers,
t.A

Hello, people. This chapter was a pain. Usually there already are a lot of screentones patterns in one chapter. But in this chapter, the ceiling and animals have some scary godforsaken patterns that are very very hard to deal with. Our cleaners died trying to save the details. I died trying to fix everything while I didn't have enough time to do it. Usually I don't mind the raw with resolution lower than 2000px height, but when it's a levelled raw...I do mind. So if anybody out there is kind enough to provide us private raws. I will be very grateful. I'm tired of public raws, so please help. Two weeks ago, two of my cleaners needed to take a break for their exams. So if there is any body out there who is also kind enough to help cleaning, please apply. I have labs every week plus assignments that I have yet to finish I don't have much time to clean, not to mention I rarely clean anymore.

You can enjoy the chapter here by the way. I almost forgot to mention that important part.

For anyone who interests in helping us cleaning, even for a few weeks until our other cleaners come back. Go to the forum address in the credit page. You need photoshop for this, please don't ask if you can use any other program. Also please note that I do want people who is capable of cleaning black and white efficiently in case the raw is bad--1000px height over-leveled, etc. (I don't want people who come to me and say I can denoise/I can use blur tool. well duh, every soul can denoise just click the button of the program. So no. I need all the screentones details and ink lines to be there unless you want us to lower the quality of the release.) So please, if anyone can spare their time to help us for the next 3-5 weeks. Please apply.

For those who are patiently waiting for Shiki. I'm sorry I couldn't release it the week before. I had two lab reports to make plus three assignments to hand in. I will try to release it next week. We just have to typeset it. Anyone who believes you can become a faithful typesetter, please apply. More staff = faster release. The test is on the forums as well.
