A Plea For Scanlation - Nightmare of Nunnally

I remembered when the first season of Code Geass came out, I didn’t take much heed of the manga. There was three - Lelouch of the Rebelion was an abridged retelling, Counterattack of Suzaku was a watered down version with yaoi vibes and Nightmare of Nunnally had me somewhat confused. A year later, for unknown reasons, I checked the raws (this is becoming a habit) for the first two volumes as even now, only two chapter had been scanlated. I found myself amazed, particularly at Zero. 

This Is Zero. In NoN, a mix between Spawn and Batman, being able to even take on Knightmare Frames on his own. Revelations later changes this a bit but seriously, this was more awesome and C.C. reappearing was fantastic too especially when we thought that she and Lelouch kicked the bucket in chapter 1. I find myself not really liking a faithful anime to manga adaptation but I liked this because it was a huge departure trying to add something entirely new (like the manga for Eureka Seven which I loved) . Summary for Nightmare of Nunnally from MangaUpdates:

An alternate Code Geass story in which Lelouch’s fate is unknown after his meeting with C.C., whether he be dead or alive. Nunnally makes a Geass contract and gains the power to read the lines of the future. She also obtains a new body and takes up piloting an unusual Knightmare Frame. 

Poor Summary I know but man, from just skimming through the two volumes, it looked awesome… I so badly, so desperately need this scanlated. That or I can finish the first volume entirely in a year of intense translation myself. orz

Plea over, now for my regularly scheduled anime blogging. (Been catching up on my manga… Next to catch up fully on is Akumetsu)

      They haven’t released anything in ages… and for a grass root group, that is a very bad sign. It was the biggest sign that the group could fail, my group knew that when they started. orz. I can only typeset… If I could translate, I would do the job myself!
