Bastard Manga

Reposting this: So the Bastard Manga has been on hiatus since the year, 2010, and its last released tank was March 2012.

For people complaining about Berserk's hiatus, Bastard is its master of being in hiatus and is even an older work than Berserk.

People even thought Bastard Manga's author, Kazushi Hagiwara, may have passed away over the years or quit being a mangaka for good.

However, on March 10, 2017, Kazushi Hagiwara finally made a twitter account and also updated his homepage.

Not only that but for this year's Comiket, he released another official Bastard Doujin, after more than 6 years since his previous Bastard Doujin was released back in 2011.

And now, finally scans of his latest Bastard Doujin have finally been uploaded online. Unfortunately, some parts of the doujin seem to be an incomplete work. Perhaps, he may have run out time before the Comiket deadline?

Drawfags may not mind so much, though, because some of the sketches may help them learn how Kazushi Hagiwara draws the way he does.

My hope is that this Bastard doujin gets translated as soon as possible because its gets really wordy near the end of the doujin with a long afterword by Kazushi Hagiwara that may reveal his thoughts and plans for the future as well as if he plans to start releasing chapters of the Bastard Manga again after an 8 year hiatus.

If any of you can recall, the Bastard story line was on a cliffhanger before it went into hiatus in the year, 2010.

Now that Berserk is back from hiatus; hopefully, Bastard can come back from its longer hiatus as well.

After all, Sup Forums used to enjoy reading Bastard and Berserk alongside each other when both had active releases and were not in hiatus. Those were really the good old days.

Here's the author's afterword for anybody willing to do a good translation of it. It would be nice to learn the author's current status and what he plans to do with Bastard from now on.

I'm just glad that he is drawing again after so many years.

Basically that Nude 3 artbook will be coming out this year

There's really no point in comparing this to berserk. There are plenty of series that have just been dropped by their authors. There are also series who's authors have been dropped, like highschool of the dead. Bastard is probably as good as dead by this point. The word hiatus shouldn't even be used.

Bastard and Berserk are considered from the same generation where edgy, gritty manga were inspired by America's metal music

Fist of the North Star was also from this generation.

I thought he was redrawing old volumes or something ( a mistake imo)

He stopped that.

Complete Redrawn Edition is up to volume 9, I believe.

...

Fun fact: Bastard came out one year before the Rance games

Redrawn versions is one of the modt retarded things an author could meme himsekf into doing

left looks better

What a bastard

So he prefers to do hentai doujins of his manga than continue the official one. Pretty based.

So there is hope.

...

maybe he just had OCD and finally fixed it, I used to be like that, until I got so bad I just gave up and with normal like the next day, it's a weird thing but it happens sometimes.

Hagiwara is completely insane. Surprisingly low amount of followers.

It was diminishing returns. The first volumes are almost entirely redrawn then its only little things here and there

Hagiwara is insane though. Like legit madman.

Didn't hagiwara lose a huge amount of work and went insane and then just did a huge timeskip? I remember the manga pretty much stopped making sense at some point and then turned into a 10 year spanning battle between ds and some dude who looked like him.

Speak for yourself

Before he went into hiatus, he attempted drawing digitally as well. Maybe something happened with his PC and he went rage mode and decided to say fuck it and rage quit?

His hentai doujins are actually considered official.

Only artist from the Jump publisher allowed to publish hentai of his own characters.

On some Bastard tanks, they even advertise his doujins under Jump's name.

That is some sweet manga contract he has with Jump, maybe even better than Togashi's contract.

Afterword:

Gobusatashiteorimasu. It is Ichiro Hagiwara. Although it is a doujinshi magazine after a long absence, it turns out that the total amount of the name is too much and it can not be drawn even if drawing for a bookbook - booklet. I feel like I'm hurting the character name, but it feels like I'm aware of it, but it is connected to the main edition on super super large karo. I am sorry for the second half rough. Although I am helping various people through netting, it is too much manpower and it is a do-nimo.

In addition to the keratoconus and presbyopia, the nose is Zubizuba, sneezing mooningua, the frozen shoulder to the shoulder and the left hand is the tendonitis inflammation like child's strength. Right handed finger with your fingers, you can not release fee evening with the already rusted robot condition. It is shallow asleep, is not it related to sugar restriction? It is unusual to be diabetes, but it is still a debut as usual (it's not fatty hair) my hair turns white too ... good thing Talking about that, my daughter and my daughter told me that they have suffered from barking in the evening for about 4 to 5 years. I was surprised to hear that I could not get well, but it was surprisingly simple. Non smoking outpatient arrest. Thanks to Champix. Well, it seems that sake has increased instead.

[Continued]

[Continued]

I have gotten work of games, work of cards, job of Anime etc at this time, but I am struggling to make a book that puts evening lips and setting images by myself harming Ranobet now . I think that [BASTARD !!] will be able to draw (harm) with individuals in this form. Although the plot is being errachidia [Hell compilation] also the plot is harmed so much ヽ Because the story of four generations before hundreds of years ago from the main story has accumulated so much, maybe you can let me go out with Shueisha when I write it up is. Kagawa 's "Tsukmoku Technical Staff" is likely to be issued as a coterie. Personal art collection [nude 3] which recorded the neighborhood is scheduled to be put together in early 2018 with chocolate. If you do not mind, please purchase. Details are planned to be delivered by twitter or something. I almost do not murmur but I am doing twin evening. Wishing then I can see you again.

>Here is a Google Translation of the Author's Afterword. How was it Sup Forums?

The important bit is that he wrote a love novel recently, where he threw in a lot of images. So he thinks he might be able to continue Bastard the same way.

So it'll basically be light novels with lots of drawings mixed in.

Well idk much about Bastard, but while I agreed with you on the first, this one literally changes her emotions

No it doesnt

Well, rather than a permanent hiatus, I wouldn't mind if Bastard became a light novel.

It sucks though because there are some things you can only convey in drawings rather than words.

Did he really earn so much money that he never had to write again?

And why make a doujin instead of making a new chapter?

Why does Jump allow this? He's been a decade that this fucker hasn't been making money for them.

!!

Maybe the old volumes still sell a lot.

I think he digitally inks and shades and only his roughs are pencil anymore.

Sounds like his health is failing.

Can't help but find it funny that these doujinshi never involve Tia or the Princess.

He has a better contract than Togashi.

I know Bastard had some recent figures made.

Saw some Bastard figures of the Dark Elf and other characters in Sup Forums's buyfag threads before.

What is also funny is that the author keeps blueballing us with blowjobs and titjobs yet for some reason, penetration doesn't happen like in this doujin.

It's all pretty much foreplay. Is there some reason Darsh isn't allowed to impregnate anybody in the story yet?

Yeah, there's figures of the Dark Elf , the hentai-wannabe sorceress (Porno Dianno I think the name was?) and Kai pre-disfigurement and Caska-style retardation.
