I was just reminded of how big of a deal internet piracy is to the bureacrates, so unfortunately, we're going to have to keep this thing really quiet. Technically what we are doing is piracy on some level... I found out that Square-Enix actually has a fan site shut down because it was dangerous to their business, so yeah... I'm a bit worried (that also puts a bit of a damper on our plans to translate "Megumi Ibunroku Persona," since it was done by what is now Square-Enix). In all honesty, I do want people to support Matsueda-san, since he really does need support since I don't think he's done anything new since "Factory Z" ended.
What we can do publicly is get people to contact Viz comics about releasing "Persona" here. To Joker and Murrei-san, I believe that translating these books would be a very rewarding experiance for you, so I am not shutting down this project. Andariel, I know you do want to read this, which is another reason I don't want to shut this down. But I don't want to get anyone here in trouble with a big business, so that is why I lean more towards being against a scanlation.
Before anyone says it, this comic is NOT to old. "BoboBo-Bobo-BoboBo" is as old as (if not older than) "Persona: Una Substantia." If you guys promise to get the support, I'll look into starting a web petition addressed to Viz. We'll also try to encourage people to use snail mail to contact these people, but we really need everyone's support, since "Megami Tensei" still doesn't have the popularity of "Suikoden" or "Final Fantasy."
