For the first time - official English translation presented in digital scans, ripped from eOneBook device. We plan to also rip the Japanese RAW from it at a later date. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/196861017/fist-of-the-north-star-innovative-ebook/ This is a complete release made as a group effort, by fans - for fans. eOneBook version is based on the Japanese "Extreme Edition" (also known as Ultimate Edition) which features art touch ups and additional chapter written by Buronson and illustrated by Tetsuo Hara. Due to the specifics of the device, the source images on it are actually stored in wrong aspect ratio and rotated sideways which we corrected. Example of source images as stored on the device itself: https://z.zz.ht/zrxT6.png https://z.zz.ht/6ShZ0.png https://z.zz.ht/xA7Kk.png We rotated the images and faced the choice of either correcting the aspect ratio by downscaling them horizontally or upscaling vertically, we decided to go with the latter as that way more visual information is preserved. Here's a few examples of the quality you can expect: https://z.zz.ht/IVLzy.png https://z.zz.ht/sYRwE.png https://z.zz.ht/UmSDF.png https://z.zz.ht/gzuIO.png https://z.zz.ht/iBBqA.png

Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much! This made my day!
I grew a beard just by reading the description. Thanks for sharing.
Will you guys rip the raw version?
Any chance for a DDL link?
this is great, but won't viz release this as well in 2021? whats the difference?
@amaanu01 the Viz version will have different lettering for sure, since this doesn't live up to their lettering standards. Dunno if the translation will be the same though
yeah i though so too, i think viz will also translate the sfx and other things.
Not involved in this, so don't take my word for it, but this also serves as a proof of concept of sorts. It seems possible to extract images from that device and it seems it's up to us to decide whether it's worth the extra work.
p80 on volume 9 is corrupted
Thanks.
@tir4mie I just downloaded it and that page is fine on my end, looks like your download corrupted https://i.imgur.com/62UT352.png
Thank you guys! Is this the same translation as the old version or is it official?
@chooleter Here is a DDL link: https://mega.nz/folder/58BhlQqY#-v5gQ0iznfPf2gL8AixGtA
@OmegaKaiser I love you, thank you so much!
I can't tell you how happy I am after seeing this! Whoever did this, you have my heartfelt thanks! Also, can you rip the RAW version in the same way?
The best version on the web thanks i search for that alot finally!
Can anyone tell me why people want the raw version?
how come there's no cover image files?
@MrAnon I tried downloading that page (`080.png`) thrice (once through the torrent, once through the DDL, and then again through the torrent), and both times it was corrupted. The image itself displays fine when I open it, but Kindle Comic Converter gives the error "broken data stream when reading image file" when attempting to convert `Hokuto no Ken - Fist of the North Star v09 (2018) (Digital).cbz` to MOBI. Here's the specific error message: ``` Error during conversion <path>\Hokuto no Ken - Fist of the North Star v09 (2018) (Digital).cbz: Image file <path>\Hokuto no Ken - Fist of the North Star v09 (2018) (Digital).cbz\080.png is corrupted.

@ThunderMite42 Honestly sounds like a problem with your program then, Works On My Machine(tm) @gorgonkeyboard It does have covers though, only digital front covers because they ripped it from ebook release.
Thank you mr uploader what's about the rest of the manga from v19-v27? Is they not included or you only upload this
@Ninaadark18 There are no volumes 19 - 27, that's only for the original Jump Comics volumes of Fist of the North Star that all other scans online are based on – the eOneBook translation is based on the Ultimate Editions of the manga which cram the 27 original volumes into 18 volumes with new illustrated covers.
Yeah seems there are two releases of this, original Japanese print had 27 volumes but with smaller pagecount per volume. Later they rereleased the series as Ultimate Edition which condensed it into 18 volumes but at higher pagecount per volume and with some updated artwork. This e-ink release according to description is apparently based on Ultimate Edition. In any case I read it and can confirm it has the full story with all the arcs, including things like Celestial Emperor, Land of Asura and Ryu.
@Lordofthestars and @mranon very thank you
currently reading it and it's great. i hope you guys will rip the captain tsubasa digital release too
Went over my digital collection and found a scanlation of a French release. I wondered, have the manga gods granted us with a better version? Lo and behold... THANK YOU!!! @Ninaadark18: "Can anyone tell me why people want the raw version?" Because condoms suck.
No-one else gonna comment on how the quality here is pretty poor?
I don't think you know what poor quality means.
@MrAnon okay bruh enjoy your pixellated pages lol. The 2021 1r0n release has far better quality, but ignore that I guess
That's the Amerimutt release by Viz which has both inaccurate translation and is censored not to mention it came out YEARS after this release and is not even complete, you genuinely are Grade A Retarded.
