Re: Evil conversion(for the lack for better term)

Dunno if anyone else is trying to find the source on the other manga from the previous page, but I'm still trying every once in a while.

I have done source-finding before, and I find one trick that really helps is to do a very simple check on what several people think is going on, and to just throw around keywords.

As for me, I'm seeing a lot of things I don't know how to search for. There's a big dog monster/demon thing in a space suit who has crazy eyes. There are two characters named Miyuki and Aru (maybe), but I don't know of those are the names of either of these characters.

The lack of suggestive themes also might hint at the fact that this is a serialized manga rather than a doujin. I've read a lot of manga, but this one isn't one of them, though the art looks strikingly familiar. My last resort, therefore, is to look through every single manga in this list: http://www.onemanga.com/directory/supernatural/

I'm almost at this phase, to be honest. I just hope the real thing isn't a disappointment.

Edit: @omglawlz: I can translate Japanese, but it's time-consuming as I work alone. There isn't a lot of text there, so if I get some free time I'll give you a translated version. I've personally translated several of his short stories, but I did it for myself just to read it once. Most of the time I don't save translation work as I just want to know the story the first time.

I prefer to read things in Japanese as their language is just so much more interesting and has a lot more flexibility in the way you express things. For example, in English, we have one way of saying "I". In Japanese, there are more than a dozen. It's really hard expressing the differences between the tones of "I" when you have one option to use.
