Scan surplus. These scans have got to go because there’s just way too many in stock.
First up, Boon Scans has translated the OPM/Dangan Tenshi crossover one-shot. The whole thing is contained up in the picture link. Cute little story about Saitama getting beaten to his namesake. The translation was rolled in with his translation of Chapter 21-2. I’ll go ahead and mention that scan set now because I forgot to mention the translation of Chapter 21-1 when I talked about these raws.
But that’s not all. Kewl0210 over on the JoJo Forums has started translation on Nisio Isin’s original JoJo work Over Heaven. Nisio Isin, who Kewl called a terrible writer, is the guy who’s made absolutely nothing I’ve ever read or seen probably most notably Medaka Box, which Kewl called a monstrosity, so I guess we should expect some terrible monstrosity. The premise is interesting, though. The story is a collection of Dio Brando’s diary entries over the course of his life from before Phantom Blood up through Stardust Crusaders. It covers his mentality, what he thought about certain stands, and the things that happened to him that would lead to his idea of “Heaven.” The idea that was eventually passed on to Pucci so that he could make Stairway to Heaven/Made in Heaven to fulfill Dio’s legacy. He mentions that it’s not a well fulfilled concept but that Dio’s character is done well. Sounds like it’s worth a look to me, but I’ve always enjoyed Dio.
