hi guys, newbie here. decided to make this post out of curiosity~ sorry for repost, maybe
(please excuse me for my bad English, still working on it ._.)
now that we have Bakuman told us the process of being mangaka from zero, their struggles through serialization and stuff...
I just wondering if someone someday could make a manga about scanlation. maybe a scanlation group, or one-man scanlation, with their real life problems, relationship with readers, raw providers, hardship (maybe) with publishers . I'm grateful to the all scanlation groups, somehow I do want to know how they work~
It might be fun to read?

While this will probably never happen, it sure would be good just so people would realized you don't really need a set of skills to be useful/help in scanlation group.

I have nothing to add to what Chibi said but would love to remind everyone that scanlation isnĀ“t unique to manga. US and especially EU comics also have such a community.
PS: Bakuman was great but not original at all. Such inside-comics comics existed since the 60s to 70s. American Splendor is an older such tale and one with a deeper dedication to realism.

I don't know if that would even be very interesting. For me it'd just be sitting in front of my computer, then remembering that I forgot to do something important... like that next chapter of that manga I forgot about.

I suspect it would be a pretty boring manga.
The only exciting stuff that ever happens in scanaltion is release wars with groups trading accusations in public.

There is a game out there about a scanlation group called One Manga Day, but it's a bit... fantasy based.
I don't know how interesting a manga about scanlating would be, our biggest excitement is just sitting chatting and then the dreaded hell months. I feel it would fail as spectacularly as Dekoboko.
