When is round 2 of the book club being planned for?

So the original plan was to wait until Overhaul 2.0 started releasing and then we would follow along with that, however! I've had a lot of people say that they were sad that they missed the first bookclub, and with how long Overhaul 2.0 will be (one chapter a week), I think doing an earlier one with the one volume a week format might be best.

I'm thinking two options: 1. We start late May to build up to the Dark Horse deluxe omnibuses hopefully starting to release in September. 2. We start in September to, y'know, start reading along with the omnibus releases (though we'll obviously be reading faster than that--tbh, I could theoretically run a round three leading up to the final volume coming out).

Shit kinda hit the fan in my life over the past few days (so much health garbage, house hunting is hell on planet earth, and my mom's cancer markers just shot back up after a couple years of remission), so I'm leaning toward starting in September. But if anyone else has any thoughts, definitely let me know! I fucking adore Trimax and legitimately would start bookclub the second tomorrow if I thought it was possible or a good idea

#I should probably slap this here too! #Again sorry for rambling #Super exhausted today #Ask

[trigunbookclub]

Just a heads-up that there's a Twitter account set up for bookclub in case anyone wants to join in over there for round 2!

Trigun Manga Club, a manga only Discord server.

Today we share the public link to the new manga only server for Trigun!

It will be a server focusing on discussing the manga, sharing thoughts, ideas and theories with each other. It will also be a space for people to get into the manga and share their experiences reading it for the first time.

This server is also a place for people both following the Trigun Ultimate Overhaul project and people engaging in the Trigun Bookclub where they can meet the people working on these projects and events.

The server will only have around 500 people in total, and we will close the invite the moment we hit 500 members. This is to maintain a calm server experience without too much of the usual chaos of big, public servers.

If the invite has expired and you wish to join the server, then you are free to contact us and ask to join the queue for the next available spot in the server when it drops under 500 again.

Hope to see you around!

TRIGUN ULTIMATE OVERHAUL FEBRUARY 2024 UPDATE

OVERHAUL UPDATE 02/02/24 - New manga only server and more double page spreads.

Hey there, everyone!

After asking for help last update, we were able to find someone who could take over the job of compiling and translating sound effects. We are thankful for the people offering their help and those boosting our post with reblogs, helping in their own way by bringing attention to our post. We are excited to accept this new person into our team, as we are yet to fully get them introduced to the rest of the team.

~~

BIG NEWS: WE'LL BE OPENING A NEW DISCORD SERVER FOR MANGA ONLY CONTENT.

This server will be both for fans of the Trigun manga, and people who want to get into the manga. It can also help everyone with finding the physical copies of the manga and other manga merch, like the magazine or official Nightow art.

Beyond that, it will also work as a point for people to more directly interact with the Trigun Ultimate Overhaul team, for both receiving updates or asking questions. The cleaning process of the manga will also be regularly streamed for people to watch the magic happen, and how exactly that entire process looks like.

Furthermore, it will be a collaboration with the @trigunbookclub to have a centralized point for organizing events and event announcements. This puts Trigun Tumblr's two projects under one roof, but will an always open door to accept collaboration with even more projects in the future.

More specifics details about the server:

It will be a SFW server for both adults and minors

It will attempt to remain manga focused with no channels dedicated to discussing the two animes and the movie.

The link to the server will only be shared and should only be shared on Tumblr to keep the number of users to a reasonable level, but also to keep the atmosphere akin to what we're all hopefully familiar with.

Fanart channels will be made, and an option to share the art of others with the proper credit. We will have very artist friendly rules about feedback and sharing other people's art.

Server will be handled by people with experience in running servers, but potentially also by people wishing to try their hand at modding for the first time.

We will be posting the link to the server when it's ready some time next week! Keep an eye out!

~~

Lastly, we didn't give you any cleaned double page spreads last month, so we brought some really fine ones from Vol 5 this time around. Beware of manga spoilers!

~~

That's all for this update, look forward to interacting more with everyone in our new server!

SEE YOU GUYS NEXT MONTH!

#!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[trigunbookclub]

Look what you've done, @trigunbookclub. You know you're at least partially to blame for these.

#Jk jk THERE WILL BE MORE come Overhaul 2.0 #Honestly I'm so happy Stampede has brought such a flood of Trimax readers #Being on of those people myself #Obviously bookclub can hardly take credit for all that #BUT IF I BROUGHT EVEN A HANDFUL OF NEW READERS INTO THE FOLD #I AM SO HAPPY

[trigunbookclub]

I don't think it's okay to use nightow's artwork to make yourself some money selling stickers of it.

While funny edits and memes of official content are commonly made and sold by creators and I understand it is a topic of debate for many reasons, as I say in the post and on the page, it isn't about the money and I think I'd have to sell hundreds to even make much profit! I did a lot of calculations and the price is close to the supplies/costs/the size of the small print run/etc., and while I'm not the best at math, the cents leftover per sticker aren't adding up to much and--again, like I said in the post--will be spent getting leftovers in case of errors if it's enough. If someone chooses to leave a tip for running bookclub, I'm grateful, but a vast majority of people don't and that's fine and what I expect. The point is having fun and celebrating bookclub! The amount of people who wanted a sticker/badge of completion was enough that I really wanted to do something for you guys.

TL;DR: As I said in the original post, this was designed for fun, not money. Transparency is personally very important to me and I try to be as honest as I can whenever possible. Of course, I'm a stranger on the internet, you should take that with a grain of salt, but I do try to be clear about my intentions.

#Ask #If I had the funds to hand these bad boys out for free I would tbh #But it's not even close and I need some way to get them lol #So here we are #Maybe I could have chosen a better printer for a price? #But I had to count on a small run #And so far it seems like it's going to be a pretty small run so that was a smart move #Unless someone orders like. Idk. 100 stickers #In which case r u ok #And then the profit would be used in shipping lol #I also had to shift the base price up a liiiiitle higher to account for international shipping being what it is #And I'm happy I did because folks around the globe are getting theirs! #I am bad at math but I did try very hard #Because I want folks to be able to afford it tbh #Profiting off of them wasn't really a big thought but in retrospect I suppose I should have seen a question like this coming #I'm a wee bit groggy from waking up but wanted to address this asap #So if anyone needs any clarifications hmu #I don't know what kind of money people think I'm making off of $2 stickers and all the crap going into this project lol #But! Honesty and transparency

Sticker Preorders!

PREORDERS ARE OPEN UNTIL OCTOBER 31

These were created as badges of honor for TrigunBookclub participants, from essay writers to artists to lurkers, but anyone who wants one of these stickers is welcome to grab them! I've priced them as low as I can for how many I think might be ordered, but things have been hella rough, so if you'd like to leave a tip for the labor/running bookclub, that'd be super cool--but not necessary. I want everyone who needs something to look forward to or just a little joy to get one :3 If enough people order so I can afford it, I'll be grabbing some extra for errors/leftover sales in case you can't grab one now!

Details:

Preorder Deadline: Oct: 31

Material: Vinyl

Size: 3"

Price: $2 USD each

Shipping will be a stamped envelope:

International Shipping: $2

Domestic (US) Shipping: $1

Badges of Honor Update!

Sorry for taking a bit! Things have been a wee bit insane. But!

So it looks like I should be able to run both designs for the stickers, and assuming a low quantity will be ordered and price-for-cost not profit, it'll be $2 per vinyl sticker with a $1 stamped envelope ($2 international), no extra shipping cost if you want to buy more than one sticker :D I'm going for about 3" (7.62cm), and then I realized that I could just print squares, circles, or cut out around the image. I was going to just go with square because then people could cut it (or not cut it) however they liked, but then I remembered. Polls exist. SO, what would you guys like?

TrigunBookclub Afterparty!

Hello there! As bookclub winds down to a close, there a few things to announce:

Bookclub Afterparty!

Bookclub may officially be over, but the Trimax brainrot continues! There are some bonus comics, the Multiple Bullets anthology (with all its great and terrible stories), and some folks have fallen behind, have essays left to write, or have things they wanted to create or share and haven't had a chance. I myself fell behind since life has been a bit hellish on my end, I'm two volumes behind--and I don't seem to bethe only one in that position!

So, I want to invite people to keep using and watching the tag until the end of October! Discuss, share theories, thoughts, art, shout-out posts and ideas that you love, just have fun! You can discuss the entire series and all related materials--hell, you can even do a read/reread it if you want to. Whatever goes, so long as it follows the guidelines.

Bookclub 2.0!

I've been talking with the @trigun-manga-overhaul team, who we all know has the best Trigun manga translation out there--but it's about to get better with Overhaul 2.0! When it drops probably next year, it will be at the pace of a chapter a week, and I plan to run the bookclub during that time to celebrate! This gives much more time for discussion, comparing, analyzing, and keeping up with posts. Since it will be a longer reading time and it's round two, spoilers will be allowed, though I will ask that they be tagged.

I also highly encourage everyone to feel free to use the tag when the hardcovers from Dark Horse are released to celebrate and discuss!

Bookclub Archive!

Since social media has a tendency to be ephemeral at best, the lovely @versaphile has taken it upon themselves to archive the bookclub posts of everyone who gives permission for them to do so! This way you can binge meta and posts and find everything much more easily. You can find the archive here, and see an example of archived posts here. If you're interested in or okay with being included in the project, please contact @trigunreferencelibrary!

Bookclub Stickers!

Multiple people have talked about wanting a badge of honor for participating in/keeping up with bookclub, and I think that might be a bit tricky... but how about some stickers? I figure that this way, the shipping is affordable even for international folks since I've seen a good amount of people around the world participating and lurking! I'm going to try and find printing for as affordably as I can (if anyone out there knows any good distributors for smaller batch sticker orders, please shoot me a DM!), and it won't be something to profit off of--just in memory of a great time! The only thing is I have two options, and I don't know if either of them are even what folks want. So...

And that's all that I can think of for now! I'm a bit exhausted and run ragged at the moment, so feel free to ask for any clarification on anything. When I started this project, I honestly didn't think I'd get many if any people following through--I know people lose their focus easily (myself included). But instead it turned into a huge celebration of a beautiful manga that is finally getting the attention it deserves after kind of getting buried by time. I've met some absolutely amazing and brilliant people throughout this event, and I just want to say thank you to every single person who made a post, supported others, and/or just lurked. You guys are fantastic and made this an amazing experience.

#TrigunBookclub Week 16: Trimax Vol. 14

It's the final week!

PLEASE NOTE: There seems to be a glitch where some posts (not all, but some) with images aren't showing up in the tags or even on dashboards, even if you can still view them on someone's blog. So if you're noticing an absence of usual interaction on your bookclub post/s, that's probably why! It seems that some folks just aren't showing up no matter what they try, but waiting a day or two and remaking the post, or making a new post just to link to the old one seems to help. Now...

We'll be reading Trigun Maximum Vol. 14 between the dates of September 18th - September 24th. Feel free to keep chatting about previous volumes for however long you need! As always, here's the schedule, ask tag, and general info if you need them :D

[trigunbookclub]

Yes, I’m absolutely stoked over here to help support Overhaul 2.0! A whole year (plus a bit) of bookclub sounds like a blast for me, what do you guys think? :D

As always, thank you so much for all of the time, dedication, and effort that you continue to put into this amazing project. You give so much to the Trigun community, and I feel safe in speaking for all of us over here in saying we’re immensely grateful

TRIGUN ULTIMATE OVERHAUL SEPTEMBER UPDATE

OVERHAUL UPDATE 09/01/23 - Upcoming release schedule changes and Japanese scans.

Hey there and welcome to another monthly update!

Work continues steadily on the page cleaning front, both Japanese and English versions are being finished. The main translation work for the English 2.0 translation is still on hold until the cleaning work has come a little further. We are gathering a lot of notes, though, all from dedicated people working hard on double checking our old translation and sharing their findings. It still remains a great help!

However, there are a few change of plans since the last update. Despite the poll result showing a preference to have the Japanese scans uploaded with a chapter a week, it might not be possible anyway.

Due to legal issues, something we embarrassingly overlooked in our excitement to share our work, it is best if we share these scans in as few posts as we can. To avoid too much attention, we've decided to instead post a volume a month starting October 2nd. The English release of Overhaul 2.0 will only begin some time in 2024, as the entire volumes a month will be a top priority to stick with the posting schedule. Even with this change of plans, we hope to avoid legal scrutiny. We might be forced to change our plans again, but we will keep everyone informed and we apologize for the the inconvenience.

For the future in 2024, it is quite possible that we'll join forces with @trigunbookclub for the release of Overhaul 2.0. We hope to partake in yet another great event, and look forward to reading everyone's potential responses to our new scans and new translation.

Until then, we have a few Trigun Vol 2 double-page spreads to show off, and a little surprise:

~~

And as always, the goal if for the middle to appear seamless, at least for the first itself. If you can't tell where the seam was before, then I've done my job correctly.

~~

And for the last little surpise.

Overhaul has always used the provided existing outline of how the chapter index would look for both Trigun and TriMax, but this time we're doing something new and more exciting. Inspired by how the Japanese Omnibuses catalogue chapters, we've decided to keep it both minimalistic, but also with a big splash of color from amazing official art.

Here's the first look into the new Overhaul 2.0 indexes:

For the Japanese verison.

And the English version.

The design is still up for potential last second changes, but this will be the new groundwork for all future volumes.

~~

That's all for this update, next time will be after we begin the new uploads. Hope you enjoy it then!

SEE YOU GUYS NEXT MONTH!

#WHO'S DOWN FOR TWO MONTHS STRAIGHT OF DUNKING ON CHAPEL? #(We're not speaking of the month following that) #It seems like a perfect amount of time for folks to keep up and write all the thoughts/create all the art they haven't had the time for #I meant to reblog this sooner but life has been #A lot

#TrigunBookclub Week 14: Trimax Vol. 12

PLEASE NOTE: There seems to be a glitch where some posts (not all, but some) with images aren't showing up in the tags or even on dashboards, even if you can still view them on someone's blog. So if you're noticing an absence of usual interaction on your bookclub post/s, that's probably why! It seems that some folks just aren't showing up no matter what they try, but waiting a day or two and remaking the post seems to help. Now...

#Trigun #Trigun Maximum #Trimax #Tristamp #Trigun Stampede #TrigunBookclub #There are only two more of these posts (this year) for bookclub! ):

[trigunbookclub]

Hi! I was wondering if you were intending to do the Trigun book club next year also or if this was a one-time thing?

Hello!

Well, the short answer is no, I don't plan to make this a one-time thing, but also no, not an annual thing either!

As most bookclubbers know, Overhaul has the best current translation of Trigun and Trimax, though maybe not everyone knows that they'll be dropping an updated translation at some point too, with the plan being to release a chapter a week! I'd honestly been hemming and hawing on what to do for bookclub after this, but considering how much time bookclubbers spend analyzing lines and comparing versions, it only makes sense to host bookclub throughout Overhaul's 2.0 release! And I've been talking with an Overhaul team member who says they're on board with this too :D

I figure that the slower schedule allows for more people to keep up, and there's more time to make memes, draw art, write meta, create fics, compose edits--whatever! Because it will take so much longer and this may be a second readthrough for a lot of people, I will allow spoilers to be posted though I'm going to request they be tagged as such so first-timers can block it ("TrigunBookclub Spoilers" or something like that), which will allow for wider scopes on a lot of analysis and questions.

What do you guys think? :D

#TrigunBookclub Week 13: Trimax Vol. 11

PLEASE NOTE: There seems to be a glitch where some posts (not all, but some) with images aren't showing up in the tags or even on dashboards, even if you can still view them on someone's blog. So if you're noticing an absence of usual interaction on your bookclub post/s, that's probably why! If you can avoid using whatever image is the issue, fantastic. If not, having a reblog with the images (just mention in your post the tags to check out the reblogs) or just making another post with an embedded link to your original post/s seems to work. Now...

We'll be reading Trigun Maximum Vol. 11 between the dates of August 28th - September 3rd. Feel free to keep chatting about previous volumes, just don’t post spoilers from future ones! As always, here's the schedule, ask tag, and general info if you need them :D

[trigunbookclub]

hello!

i was wondering, will we be reading trigun multiple bullets after trimax vol14 ?

have a great day o/

Hey there! :D

Oh man, you have great timing with this ask since I was thinking of making a post! I'd been considering making a post about this, because I realized a bit after making the schedule... there's bonus content! Multiple Bullets and some extra chapters are out there to discuss. So I was thinking that maybe we'd have a post-bookclub week or even month celebration where we read through the extras, people have time to write longer/detailed/belated essays (or use the time to catch up!), post art/memes/edits/fics inspired by their read, and since Overhaul's the translation most often used in the screenshots I see, I'd encourage sending them an ask saying thank you, or make a post tagging them!

What do you guys think?

You have a great day yourself! <3

#Ask #TrigunBookclub #Trigun #Hopefully I'm making sense #Today was VERY LONG and I'm VERY TIRED #But I wanted to answer while the concept was still fresh on my brain #And before I forgot about the ask because I'm more prone to that while tired lmao

[trigunbookclub]

hi !! ive been scouring the internet for a good quality place to read trimax/ trigun vol 1 and 2 online and I haven’t found ANYTHING that actually works and I was wondering if you knew where to read it ?? I know this is kind of a dumb question but I’m out of ideas here

Not a dumb question at all! @trigun-manga-overhaul hands-down has the best translations out there and the scans are good quality imo. While you can download the volumes, you can also read online like I do right over here!

Hope that helps! :D
