We all know Aria is a beloved classic, but the version of the first volume I found online was a bit lacking. So instead of thinking "whatever!", I thought I'd take it upon myself and give a little back to the community.
The original scanlation is from Promfret (10 years old, I think), so it's not translated by me. What I've done is: - rephrased the texts (rewritten where necessary) - translated and added soundwords - did some editing (fixing minor drawing mistakes of the original and stuff)
It's my first time doing anything with manga besides reading, I don't have a page or anything, so I decided to just throw it out here. Distribute at your leasure. You're welcome.
Don't let this detract from the fact that I do still greatly appreciate what you've done.
Asher Harris
Hahibump This is great
Hudson Young
Thank you!
Caleb Nguyen
Some get a license and release english version of aria the masterpiece already
Nicholas Ramirez
Sorry, the originals didn't have the best quality to begin with, and I don't have any raws.
Bentley Allen
bump
Mason Walker
I might be able to help there. I've actually scanned part of masterpiece a few months ago, but haven't had the time to do any of the typesetting beyond a few pages.
Jordan Wood
Quality of the scan looks great, but I'm afraid I've done too much redrawing to go through the whole process again (compare to the Promfret ones, if you like, I got mine from Madokami)
Michael Myers
Yeah, that's a big portion of what's keeping me from doing any work on it too.
Do you plan to redo the other Promfret volumes as well, or was this a one off? I have all 6 volumes volumes of Masterpiece halfway through being scanned.
Brody Brooks
Wow. Thanks, user!
I'll definitely dump this version from now on.
Andrew Diaz
The original, for comparison.
Ian Gray
Honestly, I don't plan to. I got volume 2 and 3 from tokyopop, but they look beyond horrible.
Christopher Carter
Thanks, user. gonna download first thing when I get home.
David Nguyen
Keep this around.
Jonathan Wright
Wait, did President Aria just disappeared in your version?
Dominic Russell
Good, I hate that fucking cat.
Jack Reed
So he did. I think Im starting to understand the purpose of this rewrite.
Blake Gray
Aria minus Aria
Levi Adams
President who?
Juan Taylor
WHAT THE FUCK
I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE
HOLY SHIT I'M BRAINDEAD
Brayden Clark
THE ABSOLUTE
Cooper Edwards
MADMAN
Noah Bell
If I'm honest, I'm even more impressed now, there are some wild redraws in this.
Carson Gray
What the president really needs to be disappeared from is the anime. He's completely fine in the manga.
Carson Cruz
I love OP even more now. The fact that it took this long for someone to notice is pretty telling.
Aiden Stewart
Holy shit OP is a fucking legend
David Martin
He failed to catch this paw, at least.
Elijah Johnson
>did some editing (fixing minor drawing mistakes of the original and stuff) My fucking sides.
William Adams
What the fuck?
Jayden Nelson

Jordan Mitchell

Ian Walker
This is a lot of effort.
Christopher Myers
For some reasons it looks really sad.
Mason Rivera
It's like Garfield minus Garfield
Hunter King
Now that's what I call Amano Magic.
Anthony Reed
And here I thought I eradicated every trace of that little... *ahem* Here's a quick fix for that drawing mistake, sorry about that.
Anthony King
God, I'm laughing like crazy now. Not even sure why.
Michael Ramirez
Cracked me up how innocuously the thread started off and then...
Jaxon Brooks
I honestly didn't notice, it's been so long since I've read them. That's hilarious and kinda sad at the same time.
Chase Taylor
...
Charles Sullivan
Jesus christ, OP. Good job.
Kevin Jackson
Goddamn, nigga. You took it to a whole new level.
Adam Miller
>ITT: scanlations that improved upon the source material
Nicholas Miller
Fixed it for you. (a bit sloppy, sorry)
Liam Bell
What a madman
Robert Murphy
...
Brandon Hall
what have you done to my aria
Brayden Scott
what the fuck man
Jordan Hughes
pu it on madokam,i
Ayden Lewis
Put the cat back.
Isaiah James
Dont let this die. This OP deserves praise, altough I do like the damn cat.
William Evans
The fact that it took 3 hours before anyone realised is also impressive.
Parker Wright
>watch Amanchu >cute girls scu >CAT BUTTS CAT BUTTS >CAT BUTTS EVERYWHERE >WHATCHA GONNA DO WHEN THE CAT BUTTS COME FOR YOU
Juan Scott
I will defend OP
Asher Perez
The cat never existed. Your memory betrays you. Accept reality.
Elijah Young
Amazing.
Elijah Cox
Keep doing god's work you goddamn Jesus
Logan Rodriguez
Holy shit, I love you OP.
Brandon Flores
Never read this before but I might now. Really respect people that do this.
Kevin Gomez
...
Eli Nelson
Shut up Beato
Caleb Reed
Bumping cuz you're suteki, OP. Thank you.
Elijah Williams
Do the other volumes. Make Aria perfecter.
Joseph Hughes
OP you magnificent bastard
Robert Moore
Seriously?
Benjamin Russell
>TFW you read Aria-sachou chapter and it ends up as bunch of scenery shots
Levi Morales
Best thread in months, though I am of the unpopular opinion that likes the cat.
Andrew Reed
The cat was fine in the manga. It's when it was given a voice and screentime in the anime that it became annoying.
Jack Hall
>mfw I noticed was the missing SFX, different translation, untranslated non-bubble text, and different TL notes >but not the missing President I wish I was joking
Ayden Richardson
I guess that explains OP's redrawing effort
Angel Scott
posting in criminally underrated bread
Gavin Allen
Now someone cut him out of the anime.
Levi Ramirez
And stare at that little cunt's retard face for another 1800 pages? Thanks, but no thanks.
Aaron Nelson
add me in the screenshot
Ian Evans
Now I'm going to be blueballed forever. Is it really better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all?
Bentley Phillips
>- did some editing (fixing minor drawing mistakes of the original and stuff)
Levi Russell
Thank you, user.
Brody Ramirez
Thank you OP, you have done us a great service this day.
Eli Thomas
It registered to me that the cat was gone, but not that there was a deliberate effort to remove cat.
I KNEW it was removed. So why did it take someone else to make me realize that was important?
Leo James
This is the best thread I've seen in a while. God bless you, OP.
Xavier Thompson
Does anyone else suspect Amano to have a scumbag editor like Maeno?
Logan Williams
Just when you thought Aria couldn't get any better
Bentley Anderson
ARA ARA
John Robinson
Trivia: A total of about 285 cats were removed from 172 pages. That is 1.65 cats per page.
Aiden Peterson
>beloved classic lel
Adam Foster
user is legend Sup Forums was not a mistake my day is saved thanks user
Lincoln Green
You're a goddamn legend OP.
Anthony Ross
I just want to make sure everyone sees this.
David Gray
I actually liked the cat. Other than his voice, he was even fine in the anime. Especially when he's just trying to woo the black cat in the background.
John Adams
Kozue pls.
Brayden Sanders
Amazing.
Levi Barnes
You're a top bloke, OP
Jayden Rogers
I found and corrected another small error, please update your files for a wholesome experience.
