Ushio To Tora
It centers around the travails and battles of one Ushio Aotsuki (蒼月潮 Aotsuki Ushio), who is constantly being stalked and aided by a gigantic, supernatural and sometimes invisible tiger (Some people describe it as akin to Calvin and Hobbes on acid).
Ushio’s family maintains a Shinto temple in Japan, where ~500 years ago, his samurai ancestor battled that same tiger to a standstill, and eventually trapped him against a rock using a blessed spear called the “Beast Spear”, which in addition to its intrinsic formidability as a weapon, can also boost the physical powers of the user. While cleaning out the temple storage, Ushio accidentally unseals the chamber Tora was trapped in. Initially, Ushio wisely refuses to remove the spear pinning Tora (とら, Japanese for tiger) down, as Tora unwisely makes the strategic blunder of mentioning that the first thing he would do upon being freed would be to devour Ushio; but Tora’s unsealed presence attracts various demons to the premises, and Ushio is forced to free Tora in exchange for his help. The series focuses on their relationship, interspersed with battles against mythological foes, and with Tora’s attempts to grapple with modern life and gobble up Ushio.
Won the Seiun Award for Best Comic of the Year in 1997. It also received the Shogakukan Manga Award for shōnen in 1992.
Its awesome that your translating 3 old Shonen classics Ushio,Harluya,and Sakigake.
I’m sure your busy trying to get DL links for Ushio like you have with the other two but I’m missing chapter 148 of Ushio http://www.megaupload.com/?f=50MFCERI its not on that link with the many Ushio chapters.
Thanks
Sorry, I forgot, here is the link http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VFGE9NS3
Thank You ardneh
I am also very grateful that you are translating these old series. I tried for years to find Ushio & Tora without success. So please, keep up the great work. !!! 🙂
Thank you for translating Ushio and Tora. A friend of mine told me about her reading this series when she was in her teens. It sounded awesome, but alas I cannot read Japanese. Then behold, I see the translation on Onemanga.com! This story is AWESOME!!!! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to read this tale. Will you continue to translate this series even with Onemanga.com closing their site?
Of course, my group and onemanga don’t have connection at all, so don’t worry about it.
Sweet.
Thank you for your hard work on Ushio to Tora! I have been a fan of this series for years, and it makes me incredibly happy to see someone translating and scanlating it! You do amazing work, and I look forward to the rest!
This is amazing. Kazuhiro Fujita is one of my favorite authors and I absolutely love karakuri circus. When I saw that ushio to tora was being scanlated I absoltuley had to thank the person doing all of the work. Keep up the great work. You guys are going at an amazing pace.
Keep up the rhythm.
If you need help with this and/or ever plan to drop it, let me know.
If it is Ushio To Tora, I don’t mind taking a couple of hours to work on it.
Well, if you can make translation for this manga, it will be a great help.
Oh, you don’t have a translator?
Let me know the volume and page number that you guys last translated.
I’ll see if I already have it translated and, if not, I’ll try to work on it.
I have a translator for ushio, but she is busy with her work so it’s not sure when the new chapter will be release. The last her translate is Ushio to Tora Volume 20 Chapter 184 (pg. 99-116). If you really wanna help, I’m very grateful. I’m fan of ushio too and I can wait to read the new chapter.
You can give the link to your translation, or you can send it to Hendracupi@yahoo.com
I’ll check on it tomorrow before I go to work.
Hi! I’m a huge french fan of all the work about Fujita-sensei. first thing : Thank you for all the work you’ve done about ushio and tora.
second thing : i’ve got one question : Do you know karakuri Circus , the other awesome manga of fujita ? As my concern, It’s my favorite manga of all time but in france, the publishing was stopped at volume 21 so it’s very frustating.
I hope one day, an other team (maybe you ^^) take the lead for this amazing work because, just one american team (the null team) tried to put some volumes, but the publishing is very very very slow. …
I tried to translate it in french with a team one year ago but, as you know, find a good translator with extra time, is a very pain in the ass, so i give up.
So good luck and take care 🙂
@Ardneh
That is a little beyond to what I had translated already.
I’ll try to make some time and translate 185 unless you find a translator.
Sorry, having a full time job and being in grad school don’t really help in scanlation time ^^
Sigh…I hope this one gets finished soon 😦 I’ve been reading it recently and have already reached 185. It may be an oldie but like the dragon ball series a goodie :p Do you guys have like an average time you release them?
It’s depend. If the translator not busy, a chapter every week.
Oh, ok. Was just curious a lil…thanks! keep up the good work :p
Just to say a huge THANK YOU for picking up Ushio and Tora!!
I thought it was never gonna get finished when Youkai Scanlations were doing it so imagine my surprise to see how many volumes you’ve done while I’ve been away!!
Can somebody post a mediafire link for Volume 20 please, thanks
thank you for your work..
this is one of my favorite manga..
keep up the good work..
I eagerly await for the newest volumes to be posted in here.
this is awesome
i love this series
tried desperately looking on nearby bookstore but sold out already D:
keep up good work and dont hesitate if u ever need my help
im a chinese-english-indonesian translator 🙂
WAAAAAAAAH~!!! Ushio and Tora… hiks jadi inget waktu kecil mbaca ini eh malah berhenti di tengah jalan
Thank you for doing this. I love Ushio and Tora. They stopped his adventure at volume 7 in Indonesia. That sucked big time for me, thanks to you I can continue reading their adventures. You’re the best man! 🙂
I know, that’s the reason I did this manga. I live in Indonesia too.
By the way, MnC release til vol 10 before they stop.
thanks a lot for you hard work with this great manga!!!!
Will be published here the volumes until 26…???
I am wandering if you are doing the translation your self? If that is so, then you must be quite talented 🙂
Where do you get the raws?
Nope, I just editing, I got the translation for Ushio from HisaRania.
Do you need help cleaning Volume 31 of Ushio and Tora?
Thanks, but I already finished doing it.
Was reading issues 281 and 282 from your downloads and noticed they were the same chapter. also on the downloads 288 seems to be stuck in a loop on mediafire, so it never allows you to actually download it.
I already download and check them, all just fine. Chp 281 and chp 282 have a same size but the content are different. and I can download chp 288. You should try it again.
Thanks a ton for all the work you’ve done translating this fantastic series, I’ve recently started reading it and am loving every page of it.
I hate to be a pain, but any chance this page can be updated with volumes 20-32? (Or up to 33 after you post it.)
Thank you so much for all your hard work thus far!
I don’t want to be a bother but I’m dying to know how it ends, so please please please finish UshiTora as soon as you can! 😉
Ardneh thank u for your hard work. but where are the rest of the volumes (20-33)? please email me
Just finished reading it yesterday. I must thank you all for your hard work on this masterpiece manga!! Ushio to Tora is so far, one of the best shounen manga i’ve ever read. It was ultimately marvelous and incredible. The last 5 volumes were one of the most epic things i’ve read.
Thank you very much for this manga!!
