Raw Scans

Very (very) few may realize this, but I used to scan H-mangas. Most were done anonymously for friends who later shared them via the internet. Some were posted on ABPEA on the usenet. I think I only "tagged" 2 scans, and it was only on the back cover replacing the ISBN bar code. Back then, I think I was the only one (or one of a few) who did what I called "complete scans," which included the book jacket in full view, the advertisement, sometimes even the blank pages! I find it kinda fun to see that many scanners nowadays do "complete scans", too!

After numerous computer crashes over the (ahem) years, I have since lost most of my scans and lost inclination to re-scan any of them. Luckily, in the World Wide Web, I have been able to retrieve some of them back, chiefly thanks to people reposting them here and there. (My only minor gripe is that they were resized... but oh well!)

Anyhow, a year ago, I mentioned (promised?) that I would post stuff that I scanned in the past, and, if I ever get around to it, stuff I will scan in the future. So here we are. Eventually, I'll probably also feature scans by other people of mangas I'm interested in.
