Free Talk: Regarding SB 下一站巨星 manga posts

 From now on, I have to revise the way I post the title for the series. You'll notice that I only put in the initials and the Chinese title [HK version]. The US publishing company flagged my posts of 291-296 as violation of their copyrights even if a couple of those posts aren't actually summaries. ^^; They are obviously targeting the new chapters since the old ones aren't flagged.


Anyway, I have removed the summaries and just put up the commentary for the said chapter. Doing a counter-claim is too troublesome and perhaps, this will work since it cannot be easily found through google. Hopefully, I won't get future take downs notices, just because the title of their copyright series is on the title/link. ^^;

  1. Noooooooooo, (Stupid AI don't even know what's it flagging), waiting for your Summaries, I have major question for next chapter .Stay safe see you soon

  2. aw this sucks. But Kat your Translation was 1st entry back when I sought chapter 292 scanlation, so maybe that's a reason too. That was why I got here in the first place lol.

    Well there would be people doing the chapter (I hope so), there always were, though I'm not familiar with the regulation nowadays.

    It's kinda a pity, I enjoy your summary, albeit they would come later than the actual release date (as you wait for the CN release lol). I almost don't believe they target summaries too now. That should explain why pages are missing when I search for a game summary on google recently.

    1. Haha, is that so, Junior. No wonder...

      I think so. Usually, they just lay low for a while. I assume that it is the same but they are just in a 'blocking/flagging' mood again. Maybe sales are affected.

      Thanks. Ya, checking the report pages, they seem to have been on a 'flagging' spree. Some seems to be fanfics.

    2. wait what even fanfics are not allowed? That's new to me tbh. I found only few fanfics of any series can be satifsying to read, and they are not even part of the original anyway. But as I said, I'm not familiar with this copyright regulations..

      anyway speaking of the new chapter, it seems the spanish translation is already up (though I couldn't understand a word lol). Looking forward to next chapter FT xD.

    3. I think it is an AI [computer; like the above poster mentioned] which flags it using keywords. I say fanfics since the links mention 'yaoi' of series like one piece, tokyo ghoul, etc ^^;

      They're fast. Yup, I think we'll know in the next chapter if Leo will be interested in Kyouko as Momiji.

    4. hehe, hopefully your tweak will work.

      Btw, Leo is kind of handing invitation to Kanae in the chapter. I hope that means she is in too! I may try putting those Spanish words into google translate if I got time, I'm just dying to know lol.

    5. Yup ^^

      Yes, she is in. That is according to the Chinese site, but she doesn't seem happy. Not sure if it is from her performance = not satisfied with it or perhaps, still 'in acting mode'?

    6. hmm.. I'm not sure, she is not someone who will jump and hop like Kyouko if she's happy. But there is also part of your sentence that got into my mind, cause she hasn't got her Lory special going and and she, perhaps much like Ren during Tsukigomori, kinda realizing her shortcoming in that regard.

      I'm not sure thought, it kinda feels forced, my theory that is. But we are sure to see more of her, especially if Kyouko somehow get involved in Route, or, just with Leonard in general.

      Delete
    7. Ah yes. Perhaps, that Lory special will be tackled in this arc, too.

      Yup.

  3. This is sad, I would have hoped they would check content before flagging it but so long as I get your take on the chapter and can discuss it with you I am happy ^^ after all that's what we do here.

    Will you be doing a summary/discussion on the new chapter soon?

    1. Ya, El4n1.

      I will, once I've read the scanlation. Is the English one out?

      Delete
    2. I haven't seen one, and the facebook group's discord channel only put out a summary and the raws.

  4. I found this on reddit, someone (user Apprehensive-Low-986) made 297 s****ry (>.<) based on Spanish scans.

    Basically what happens is:- Leonard tells Kanae that her "Heisenberg" performance was marvellous, and that it was the same as he envisioned it. He tells her that he is looking forward to her "Heil", so she gets the role.

    - Kuresaki tells her that he's glad he asked her for the role, and that he's looking forward to begin filming and to her "Heisenberg".

    -Leonard and Kuresaki get on the Sacred Lotus set; Kuresaki tells Morizumi that it seems that Leonard wants to see the shooting/set of an historical drama, Morizumi agrees. After that Leonard grabs Kuresaki and tells him that he wants to ask him something. In the meantime the guys behind Koga are speculating on Leonard's identity, saying that there is a really tall guy in a cosplay. They conclude that he must have been invited by Kuresaki. While they keep talking about the cosplay, saying that he must be tuxedo knight, Koga understands that the man is indeed "the director".

    - The assistants have just finished applying more blood on Kyoko-Momiji, and they resume filming. The note at the end says "An unexpected encounter on the set...! What kind of acting will Momiji show in front of Leonard...!?"

    1. Thanks for that, Junior. ^-^

      That is pretty much what I understood through google translate of the Spanish scans. I'm deferring comments until I see the full scans. Like, why would Leonard want to see the shooting? 1. To see Kyouko's ninja 2. something to do with Koga 3. he is interested in the setting/scenario.

      Yup, Koga knew who he was. Iirc, Yuki even gestured 'secret/keep quiet' to him.

      Based on that blurb, I think Kyouko might get an invitation though I wonder if they are still looking for an actress to fill a role that wasn't taken yet.

    2. So you did that too (put the Spanish into Mr. Google) :D

      There is likely no clearing as to what Leonard's true motive was, but it is unlikely that he wanted to see the shooting because he is interested in Kyoyko in particular, though he's maybe interested in her shooting a ninja scene of all things. He should also not know that Koga was involved (or maybe he did through Kuresaki-san), but surely Koga is not his motive too because he already tested him beforehand.

      Maybe Kyouko would get something akin to a Setsuka role? A role made specifically for her to fit in. But Setsuka was Lorry's Project and its ultimate purpose was for Kyouko to get closer to Ren. Anyway, I'd not hype myself too much lol. Whether or not she will be in Project, if her performance is to Leonard's liking, Kyouko would have had chances to star for him in the future.

    3. Yup ^^

      True, the reason is something different from Koga.

      I agree, 'role specifically for her to fit in'. ^^
