if halmoni didn't answer like "ain't nobody got time fo dat" when I asked for author's permission , I wouldn't be mad much

first chapter is free or not. It's scanlated or It's just in Korean, just like author gaji said, you shouldn't post lezhin webtoons in other place

may your team didn't talk about buying for scanlating WDFS yet. other anons talked about buying for scanlating
and also I saw one anon asked like If someone will be willing to pay and post another lezhin webtoon Enough and jrdp_18 answer was "Well, I'd be willing to pay but it's pretty much kr specific. Someone could buy coupons or whatever to use though."
and jrdp_18 asked to lezhin how to buy their webtoons from overseas
so, how can I believe you guys? lol

and author's don't like meanings lost in translation and no way of knowing whether that kind of translation would stay true to what author intended
just like you translated & interpreted ssamba's intention completely differently

and Korea webtoon industry is nothing like japan
if you still think this is for authors, read this webtoon author's interview http://www.fnnews.com/news/201302171757586693
not every authors like scanlation and they don't think It can benefit authors
that's why I asked to get permission but you guys didn't

if you want to help Korea comic industry, then learn more about industry situation and get permissions

yeah, gaji's one-shot yuri webtoon. I asked them if they got permission. they don't and will not
even though some authors don't care about scanlation. I think we should tell them about scanlation at least. if you guys don't tell to author about scanlation, I will not share any links in here anymore

It's normal for scanlators doing unofficial work not to ask for permission for anything that currently isn't being marketed and sold in the translated language. Most will stop immediately if it gets an official translation though and sites like dynasty-scans will stop posting links and inform people that there's an official translation they can purchase.

Also, the scanlation work done on /u/ is completely unrelated to dynasty-scans, so any complaints about it belong there, not here.

oh. okay Thanks for clearing it up

Yeah, but they're selective about which they choose to translate and I don't think they'll pick any yuri anytime soon. All scanlators take the risk the original artist may protest an unofficial English translation, but most don't care or don't know.

Edited to add: I noticed /u/ has expanded to translate other Korean webcomics. Worth checking out if you have an interest in it.

same author from this lezhin yuri webtoon http://www.lezhin.com/comic/lilinstory

oh and there are some English translations of this webtoon, Welcome to room 305. not yuri but LGBT. lesbian couple is so cute in here and It's so good and fun to read. It's one of my favorite manhwa all the time http://mangafox.me/manga/welcome_to_room_305/

I don't think the forums have a thread for Yuri manhwas yet but I could be wrong, you could always create a new thread and post them there ^^

I think that would be cool, maybe we have more people here that can translate this stuff. It's so cool to see many yuri webtoons/manhwas. I hope one can be a kdrama someday * dreams * haha

um.. but I think we should wait official English translation of naver yuri webtoons.. since there is a official English naver webtoon site. also, comico(Fluttering Feelings) is same company with naver. so I think comico will start official English translation service too
I remember some webtoon authors don't like unofficial translations....

Do we know anything about this webtoon?

http://www.lezhin.com/comic/1st_manhwaking_what_does_the_fox_say

Yuri or not yuri, that is the question.

this is yuri. 19+rated webtoon (include sex scene)
I read chapter 1 It's good but sadly lezhin is not free webtoon site. TT
