English Scanlation: Samurai Deeper Kyo Manga

[killazys]

As the title states, an English version of the Samurai Deeper Kyo manga. Most other torrents I've found are RAW. Too bad I can't read Japanese :'(
Can anyone fill this request?

If you can use IRC you can get a whole lot of the manga at gotlurk.net

[newy]

gotlurk for your own private use but not for BBT. Except you can find the original filenames. Besides, it's a no go for BBT for it's being scanlated.

@newy, I remember htears saying something about that the staff are accepting gotlurk's files, hence my offers being accepted:

Samurai Deeper kyo strikes me as a big manga that can only be uploaded using gotlurk's files. For smaller mangas I agree that we should make an effort to find official files, but there's no way we would have gotten Detective Conan up if I hadn't used gotlurk.

EDIT:

Last time i confirmed with Southie, #lurk's files are allowed for very large series.

Hmm, interesting, Takeshi. Well, the Wiki doesn't forbid it after reinterpreting the guide.

[killazys]

Oh well. I guess it's #lurk for me then. Thanks for the responses

newy, I think your misinterpreting something ...

"Official manga is allowed but not doujin" <= that is what you must have thought of? However that's got nothing to do with the issue at hand.

Scanlation = translated (often cleaned as well) japanese manga (raw from magazine/tankoubon)
Scan = Scanned R1 published manga (publishers:TokyoPop/Viz etc)

If only manga published in R1 was allowed, the list would be very short here on BakaBT...

Also, saying #lurk isn't allowed would be like saying TT isn't allowed for anime, because in a similar way they're a hub for most manga releases (or at least they used to be)... (have you ever seen single bots with close to 20.000 packs of manga? Try a visit to #lurk@irchighway...)

I took newy's "it's being scanlated" statement to mean "scanlations are still in progress, therefore the complete manga can't be uploaded." Though I would think there's enough out there to upload a few arcs, à la Bleach, Naruto, Berserk, Gantz, etc.

Also, saying #lurk isn't allowed would be like saying TT isn't allowed for anime,

Not quite the same. TT doesn't actually host anything, and you usually get official files with original filenames when downloading through it, unlike #lurk.

I'd wish there was a manga site where you could see which arcs each manga contained + chapter info. In most cases, that's the kind of problem I have with uploading big mangas. Wikia sometimes contains info, Manga-Updates doesn't at all. Wikipidia, nope. =/

EDIT: Seriously, if anyone knows of any trustworthy sites that contains such info feel free to call, text, e-mail or PM me.

The problem with #lurk is that they alter the filenames and that's why I said that these hosted files are for the private use and not for BBT because BBT likes to have original filenames. BUT after rereading the paragraph on uploading manga I misinterpreted not recommended as not allowed, though it is probably supposed to mean that if there are no clues where to find the original filenames #lurk's naming is to be accepted.
