Anyone have these readily available? Or can someone with them downloaded as a torrent seed the file? I've been trying to download it to days to no avail.

I know about thespectrum.net, but would really like all of the issues. It's an invaluable resource, esp. given my current level. Thanks!

I think I have them. I'll send you a pm tomorrow.

You can save the pages from the website and create your own PDF. It's not hard to do at all either.

It's more that I'd like the full catalog of issues than that I have a fetish for PDF.

Back in the day, I used to have a CD-ROM (sold by Mangajin) that compiled something like 40 or 50 issues together. I wish that image was still kicking around.

You might want to google the words rutracker mangajin, if you don't mind djvu files.

I've been trying that too, Bokusenou, but same sitch - not enough seeders. Blech.

Thanks, buonaparte! Still waiting on the last 20, but got 1-50.

Alright I just checked, looks like mine only went up to 50 as well.

The link that Buonaparte posted for 51-70 seems to work.

My son saw me creating an account on rutracker and said, "Ah, the sad plight of the otaku. It makes you do things like sign up for memberships on sketchy Russian torrent sites."

Ok - how the heck does one navigate that rutracker site? How does one get to the signup page and which links(s) does one click to download the files?

Use Google translate on the site and you'll see. ^-^

Doh!

Thanks very much.

What's the quality of those scans like? I managed to download the complete set of Mangajin a while ago, but the quality of the scans is pretty bad. It can be difficult to make out the kanji

Eh. Passable. Good enough to make out the kanji, for the most part. I mainly wanted them for the grammar notes/explanations, as I'm currently making my way through a couple of manga, including 美味しんぼ (which Mangajin covered in a few issues).
