| MangaHelpers and Viz partnership? |
As you may have already heard, we have received a number of reports of some sort of business proposition between Viz and Mangahelpers. At this point, it appears that the information was leaked in draft form, and hasn't actually been proposed directly to Viz.
Before getting into the details, we ask that everyone please maintain an open mind. The MangaHelpers community has been around for a long time, and before jumping to conclusions, please make sure to get all the facts.
The news looks to have been first reported via a negative analysis by the scanlation group FoOlRulez. At this time, this seems to be the most in-depth information source regarding the business plan.
The following are quick links to the proposed email and business plan, and the official response from mangahelpers themselves.
A link to a topic in our forums discussing this.
Thanks to woxxy for reporting this information. |

| Upcoming Server Move |
All,
Our host, Layered Tech, is moving data centers. Because of this, we will need to move all of our services, websites, and databases over to the new data facility.
This will happen in small bits over the next two weeks. We are sorry for any downtime or inconveniences this may cause.

| USUI Yoshito (Crayon Shin-chan) Dead |
It has been confirmed that USUI Yoshito, the creator of Crayon Shin-chan is dead after falling 120 meters (in the mountains) and sustaining damage to the lungs and other areas, which probably occurred sometime in the afternoon of September 11th.
There are plans for two more chapters of Crayon Shin-chan, as USUI Yoshito submitted the art for two chapters before his death. The anime series still has an unknown status.

Today is Eid in the United States, the Muslim holiday that celebrates the end
of Ramadan, which for those of you that don't know, is a holy month of fasting.
May you enjoy the start of Shawwal~ |

Last of the "Best" polls. Next week is onto our regular programming~
For the josei lovers, check out all our suggestions here:
http://www.mangaupdates.com/showtopic.php?tid=13990
The only interesting fact I can think of right now is that out of the top 5, I've only read Nodame Cantabile. In fact, I also fansubbed the Paris arc of the series. Bonus points if you know which fansub group I'm in =P
Here are the 5 runner-ups (in this order)
Honey and Clover
Gokusen
Ashita no Ousama
Omae ga Sekai wo Kowashitai nara
7 Seeds
Next week, I will be posting a little Excel chart of all the series that were suggested and their rankings.
Previous Poll Results:

I have a feeling there will be some unhappy people with these results. Just realize that if you piss me off too much, I'll take some action and ban you. |

| ShoujoMagic to Close |
ShoujoMagic, one of the oldest shoujo scanlation groups, is planning to
close its doors. They will first release several more chapters that are currently
partially completed, then they're gone for good. The projected closure is in
several months (so think of this as filing for bankruptcy).
Good luck to them all as they move onto bigger and better things |
