I just don't get it.

1) A lot of people praise Urasawa like he's a God of Manga (and I personally like him very much as well) and say that Monster/20th Century Boys are their favourite works.
2) Manga itself is pretty good and interesting. It's not 10, but for me it's 7 or 8, no less.
3) But there are NO translations whatsoever. I just... why .__.
4) Even if we take into account that there are official physical volumes by VIZ... no one actually uploads them on the Net. So someone takes an effort to upload smth like Real Account (which was dropped by scanlators as well) but no one cares enough for new Urasawa's work?... huh.

Disclaimer. I support creators and have a pretty big manga library at home but due to technical difficulties I can't just "go and buy" or order a manga volume anymore. But I still want to keep reading it. Somehow >_>

UPD. New volume is out. I am beyond thankful to whoever uploaded it.

Naoki Urasawa's stories generally take a decent amount of time to unfold. Take monster for example: nobody would call it a masterpiece after reading only the first 50ish chapters. This one is no exception. It has the potential to become a masterpiece; give it some time.

What do you mean no translation whatsoever, Viz media has licensed it and it's published in English

Which I mentioned in my very post... have you ever read that?...
I am talking about scanlate, duh. You know, when there are official release, teams still translate manga, especially if said manga is interesting and dozens of chapters behind said translation

I recall another Japanese production that was halted during Covid because it was also about an apocalypse going on and considering this manga is talking about the world ending in 2020....

I feel like it's still in the early stages, so I'm thinking it will get more interesting after more volumes (starting around volume 12 or so).

I guess it depends on the person, but I think the most interesting way to read Naoki Urasawa's works is to read them in one sitting after they are completed.
