Thread: Kaitou! Pokemon 7

Anyone read this manga yet? I just finished it myself. It was fun reading a Pokemon manga that wasn't following the games or anime or anything, and had a nice original storyline.

I'd like to. I saw a tiny bit of it and it seemed interesting.

Is it true Team Galactic has a role in it?

They do, but it's not the same role that they play in DPPt. Rather, the Team Galactic in KP7 is a just a regional section of Galactic proper.

Haha nice!

Man I wish Viz would pick this up. It seemed cool from what I read. And it's not like there isn't an English translation for pete's sake.

Is the manga only one volume by the way? I only got with scanlations for the manga and only to chapter four. But what I have read this is a really good Pokémon manga I would buy if translated by VIZ, though CY did translate it.

The scanlation site I was reading it off of has it listed as "completed" at six chapters. Also, Bulbapedia has it listed as a One Volume series. If it matters for anything, chapter six ended the main story arc, but it also left them very open to continuing the series if they ever want to down the line.

I didn't know that there was a Chapter 6, where I was reading it, it ended at Chapter 5.

This would be a cool mini series for an anime. Way better than Pokemon Special.

EDIT: Where I'm reading it it just scanned Ch. 6-12 in one go. Kind of bad quality though ):

I want this to come out here in Canada. I'd so buy it.

We had a thread on this when it first came out.

The sad thing is that I actually own the volume that's out there but haven't actually gotten around to reading the whole thing. Despite the fact that doing so would only take about 45 minutes or so. Shameful.

Maybe Viz will pick this up when DP Adventure wraps up?

Why would they have to wait?

Besides, at the rate they're making us wait for volume 6 (5 was out in October, 6 not until MARCH? The series is OVER--what are they WAITING for?), it's not like they're doing much else save for Special, and really all they have to do for the vast majority of that (until volume 8 that is) is copy-paste what they already had onto speech bubbles going the other way.

It's meant to be bad quality so that people wouldn't dare make something out of scans... recalling correctly, some tried to put them in pay-per-viewing manga site... lolz. Also, I have a busy life, so I just scan it as is and only did the rotating. :P

Luckily, my copy didn't get the same fate Volume 26 of PokeSpe did... also, I noticed that Chuang-Yi changed their paper... it used to be much smoother, but starting from Volume 28 and their re-prints, the paper is so like those other manga books... meh, I like the paper they're using back then... =/

Well, if you want some good quality scans, why don't you do the scanning yourself once you get the manga... that is if you get them... mine are just temporary stuff until some people decide to replace them with good scans...

They haven't censored anything in DPA though. They've translated a couple of things wrong, but not to cover anything up.

I *do* wonder about the bomb scene in volume 5, but if they didn't have a problem with Cyrus's admission that he'd kill everything in the universe including his own followers, I'm not sure what they'll do.


Although again I can't figure out why DPA would have to finish before Viz would pick up Pokemon 7, which was mostly what I was asking.

^ I'm guessing that the reason why they need to wait is since aside from Special, they're also working on DPA... I really don't know how Viz works but meh, it seems that they might not pick up this series if they didn't bother translating the other not so popular Pokemon manga out there... Battle Frontier, Golden Boys I can still find it okay since it was never finished in the first place... and the previous movie adaptation manga... also, Ash and Pikachu...

Like Cyrus drilling her all day, everyday?

Lmao, Saturn... XD

And also BJ, I was talking about Special censorships on my previous... previous post to your post... sorry I wasn't clear on that part... XD

As for Pokemon 7 itself, meh, I doubt this will have a continuation, I haven't heard anything from anyone here, and also, if you've read the author's notes on how the manga was finally published in 2008, it was even delayed for a couple of months before it was published due to some switches with the bosses/editor/something... o__o;;

You can assume the mangaka will indeed go through another publishing problem if she does intend on continuing this... Also, noticed how the chapters are totally rushed... somehow, they were able to fit so much in 12 chapters... @__@

Um...Viz is doing PLENTY.
