.Hack Manga Volume #1 English Edition?

Rubedo · Post by **Rubedo** » Tue Apr 29, 2003 2:04 am

I found a English Edition of the Manga. It is released in Singapore. And it's an authentic read from right-to-left version. But what I am wondering, Is $30 a good price for it?

NO!!!! I paid $20 for it off of ebay! (and that includes shipping) don't get ripped off!

Thankies, for the heads-up. But I'm just really dying to read it. Are there any plans to release it in the U.S? Any info is much appreciated. ^^"

There are plans, but nothing official yet, if I recall correctly.

Well, that kinda good to hear. Oh....Um... This is kinda off topic, but are there any plans to release the anime, it in the U.S?

I dont know if they are planning a U.S. release but I cant see why not. If you want to buy it go to ebay and search for [deleted]. Hes got alot of them for sale and good prices.

[Edit: We've said it before. We can't be associated with the distribution of bootleg (meaning non-official American or Japanese release) of .hack

Thank you, drive through.]

If you want to see it with English subs, you can buy them online (legally and imported) I think I saw some at discountanimedvd.com

Possibly, but those subs won't be very good. Likely, those are either from Singapore or Hong Kong. If they're from Hong Kong, they're probably bootlegs.

I'm pretty sure the singapore version isn't even legit.

It ain't? Well then I don't want it if it's not official. It's because of bootleg stuff that I don't have my .hack//SIGN OST's yet. I Hate bootlegs!!!

what do you mean by "legit"

I'm POSITIVE the manga is official... I can scan the copyright page if you want (it says something along the lines of "translation rignts arranged by *insert name I'm too lazy to copy here*"

... as for the anime...

does this look official to YOU???

Most of everything on discount anime is HK (Hong Kong, aka not legit). And no, that anime isn't legit.

About the singapore manga, there is like a long complex story about it. It could be legal, but i'm not going to trust something made so far away.

Nebu, we're POSITIVE that Manga is not an offical legal translation.
