Hi, I was wondering if you read manga do you bother reading the mangaka's freetalks if there's any?
I do, and I love reading their free talks. It gives the readers a chance to glimpse in to the life of mangakas, right?
But sometimes, in scanlation, they do not scanlate the free talks.

I do. It's fun, and very cute.
I especially loved the freetalks of yoshihara yuki with her drunk tales, and cat adventures.
It's a shame when the translators don't bother translating those...
Hrodulf and Bjornolfr, you will not be forgotten.

I read them when they are interesting, but as a scanlator, I know how hard it is to translate Author Talks since not all of them are that "readable" and most have a messy and sloppy handwriting. In short: It's a pain to translate them. So don't be surprised when scanlators don't edit them. 🙂

I don't. .__. And as a scanlator, I'd prefer not to edit it because it's a pain to translate.

Yea..
I read free talks by Yuki Kaori, Hino Matsuri and...does SBS in One piece counts as 'mangaka free talk'?

yeah, I don't really know why though. Sometimes the things they write about their characters are really funny. so i guess because for entertainment was well 😀

Yeah. They're generally fun to read and sometimes provide some background info on characters. The only notable ones I've read were Watsuki Nobuhiro's freetalk in Rurouni Kenshin and the Oda's SBS Q&A sessions in One Piece.
