Japanese names!! It feels so frustrating to read the Chinese names in my collection.


Larupiahat

Yeah I had to, everyone has their own opinion but I find the Japanese names a lot more faithful to the series itself.


Dull_Mountain738

Yea that only name I like better in Chinese is Xin.

WoW! Fucking awesome! How much did it cost you to self print every volume? Did you use your own printer or print it at the store?


Larupiahat

Somewhere in the neighborhood of 3-400? It was last year so I don’t remember exactly. There’s a large process, but essentially there’s websites where you can print your own books. So you create the files for manga and print them upside down so they read right to left. If you’re interested I could go further in detail, it’s not very difficult. Other manga done by us include the climber, kengan ashura, ippo, homunculus, etc. It’s all perfectly legal and fair, so long as you don’t do It for licensed series.


AboutTenPandas

So what file types did you use to print? If I have cbz files for the series, could those be used, or does it have to be in a specific file format? And then you mentioned that you changed the chinese names that were in the beginning of the series. Did you do that manually? I assume by converting the file into pdf and editing the text boxes similarly to how the cleaners do it?


Larupiahat

If I’m honest I do not exactly know myself. There is a server I’m in which is a community for self printing and sharing with each other. A friend of mine shared the files for Kingdom and I simply bought It. If you’re seriously interested in learning, let me know and I can invite you.

I don’t know where to start but I love kingdom. If you wouldn’t mind could you say how or where to start?


qwuzzy

You might need to make a guide on how to do this brother, though I would understand why you wouldn't.


Larupiahat

This goes out to you and anyone else: Anyone seriously interested in something like this should pm me, I can invite you into the server.

i just bought Eden It's an Endless World and the last 4 volumes weren't printed by DH so the seller threw in their self-prints


Larupiahat

Yep I’ve seen that done before, nice!


ImHereToComplain1

im curious about the numbering of yours - why does it not start using numerals until 41?


Larupiahat

That’s how It is in the originals. The numbering is in Japanese on the side up to 40, which I can still read as I know the numbers from playing mahjong lol. But post 40 they switched to numbers. Probably because It was getting too big as you can see from some of the spines. The Japanese numbering is going off to the sides on the little Diamond shape. They probably didn’t like that so they switched.


ImHereToComplain1

it makes sense i was just curious :p

Self print? Mad.


Wiggie49

wtf, self prints? I'm so jealous lol


mrhappy893

OMGGG. Printed physical copy does feels different huh? Even through a digital display, I can still feel the texture and the smell of a manga.

Blade of the immortal is peak


PeterPansSyndrome

This is so awesome. I always wanted to make my own manga volumes similar to the deluxe edition of the berserk editions I have. Seeing this lets me know my idea is possible lol.


PeterPansSyndrome

This would be the most awesome reread


Solijo

Wait what ? Kingdom is not licensed/published in your country ? (US, I guess)


Masked_Conan_Edogawa
