feihong Posted July 6, 2011 at 06:01 PM Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 at 06:01 PM Welcome to the latest selection from the Grand Comic Reading Project! Yamikagishi is a Japanese action comic set in ancient Tokyo (then known as Edo). Our intrepid hero is a handsome and well-known locksmith whose assistant is a female fortune teller. Together, they battle the forces of darkness by sealing demons that make their way into the mortal realm. I think a few volumes were made, but only the first is available online in Chinese. In terms of difficulty, I think it's a bit harder than Ranma. Text density is not very high, so that makes things a little easier.

Gleaves Posted July 6, 2011 at 06:37 PM Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 at 06:37 PM Can't believe it is #13 already. Well done. I'll have a look (and still need to check out #12 as well). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbradfor Posted July 18, 2011 at 03:39 PM Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 at 03:39 PM Finished this last night. Liked the story, too bad there are not more. I might read the English version. Also note that the scan quality is excellent; after (trying to) read the traditional version of Town of Evening Calm, I really understand the importance of scan quality. Not only is it much more pleasant to read, but for learners bad scans can be impossible to read at parts. I do have a question. On page 142 (warning: slightly NSFCS!), the lower right box, is there a type-o? It says "錬條", should that be "鏈條"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feihong Posted July 18, 2011 at 09:12 PM Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 at 09:12 PM @jbradfor: I agree, good scan quality is very important, at least until one starts to recognize characters by their general shape rather than by their strokes (personally I'm not quite there yet). I think 錬條 is just a Taiwanese variant of 鏈條. Typing it into Google.tw gives a bunch of results, so if it's a typo than a lot of people have made that typo.
