I am thinking of slowly and painfully scanlating this series since no one is doing it. (For the right reason… ._.) Anyways, I am not sure if I want to do this series because it is actually licensed in English. Can all of you just leave a comment and tell me what you think? (Namely, should I start scanlating this series until someone returns and does it OR *touch wood* I get some C&D notice telling me to cease.) It will be helpful if anyone can provide me with higher-quality raws that aren't so hard to work with and also inform me if you find out any chapters that have already been done since I don't really do repeated work. >_<
For now though, just download the chapter and enjoy it. There should be some mistakes though since I was translating it half-asleep and contemplating smashing my laptop because the raws are so bad that I have to strain my eyes a lot while typesetting and cleaning. I didn't do a perfect job, just enough for it to be able to be read properly. Oh, if you find out any translation errors, such as things like characters' names and their skills and whatnot, drop me a comment too please so I can correct it in future releases. (IF I work on it.) By the way, if my translations don't match the official releases, I won't really bother… I'm just scanlating this because I do know tons of people want to read it in English and yet may not be able to afford to buy the manga.
And ya, I need to re-read this series >_< I have only vague ideas of what I am translating when doing this chapter. The last time I read GetBackers was like a year ago and I stopped at erm... Volume 19. =X
It'll be wonderful if someone can upload it to MangaFox for me or something and also spread the word asking fans to give their opinions on whether I should work on this series. =)
For your information, Volumes 1 to 19 are scanned by BYAAAH and someone did Volume 20 chapter 1 and it's on MangaFox (which is chapter 164 I think… Hopefully I didn't get the chapter numbering wrong. =X)
Oh ya, I almost forgot the download link:

Anyway, thanks for this release.
Cheers.
I live in Brazil and here, the manga doesn't have any chance of being launched, so i really appreciate you for translating it!!! S2
Thanks!!
Thanks for the chapter!!!
Thank you
thanks for this chapter anyway! :)
It was just announced that tokyopop's license on getbackers had ended so now I'm stuck without knowing how the manga ends. I hope you continue scanlating until it gets as far as where I left off.
Thanks for scanlating getbackers and keep up the good work
This is one of my favorite series, but no one has the guts to scanlate it.
Thanks a lot man. I give my full support!
