Manga Haruhi Suzumiya Vol. 3 PAGE RIPPED!! TwT
My little cousin discovered ripped pages in the Vol.3 of the Haruhi manga . . . I thought my cousin was messing with me . . . and to my shock there "was" o_o" . . . . [sigh] . . . . . this is the first time I seen such an incident . . . . "how can this be!?!?! TwT"
was wondering . . . does anyone have a similar scenario?
The start of the incident . . .
how the rip appear as . . .
surprisingly to see behind the next page is the repair work they did . . . though not as bad bit still painful to see a tape repair -__-"
another view of how the rip is overall . . .
The rip page just to find it in a manga is very sad TwT . . . oh and it's not just this page that is ripped 3 more pages after this one had the same identical problem and in the same location on the page
If it was a straight tear down the page it would make some sense...but this one has a pattern. Really really weird.
Thats crazy! I just checked mine and its not like that. Maybe it was just a certain run of it?
Just checked my issue and it doesn't have that problem. Very strange indeed with that pattern.
Looks like one of those jagged scissors. I don't think printing presses use THAT huge of a jagged-edged cutter tho. :\ Must be something outside the publishing place.
i have about 400 plus manga and so far only encountered one error which was negligible. You can always end it back to the bookstore and request another.
I'm pretty sure this is just a simple defect with manufacturing. I find it highly unlikely that a human would rip the paper in that precise pattern. o_o
I've had this happen to me with a photography magazine once. The paper was oddly separated in that exact same pattern.
Seems like a teen with too much time in their hands and some stationary at hand... Rarely I don't check the manga and it has printing issues, like pages stuck together (they weren't cut) or very faded ink. Fortunately it's not usual from most publishers.
If you bought it recently and still have the receipt, exchange it. If not, let's make a voodoo doll for the person who cut this >:D (lol just kid)
Ahaha! I'm not laughing at your misfortune... I'm laughing at the fact that I KNOW why this happens now because I work at a press. Not a manga press mind you, but after observing the things at the press I work at, I totally understand what happened here.
It's not a rip. It's more like an overlap of one paper roll running out and the next one starting. Just imagine a huge roll of toilet paper and when that runs out they have to put in another roll so that it can keep going without stopping the print. So unfortunately you were the unlucky recipient who got a copy when the roll of paper was just about to run out... I'd take it to where you bought it from and exchange with a better one.
LOL! So instead of reprinting they decided to tape it up?
Well it's not a matter of reprinting ^^; I guess when they moved on to the new rolls they forgot to check if it affected any of the books and this one got through. I don't work right at the press, so I can't say if all presses check when this happens.
I should post what my workplace is like one day ^^;;;
Oh. I was thinking it was some random person's handiwork at trying to fix it. Are the paper rolls connected together by some kind of tape? My initial reasoning was that this book couldn't have been the ones that "got through" because if someone applied tape in attempts to fix it, then someone noticed it was wrong. If the jagged edges of the paper rolls are held together with that tape, then it makes more sense.
I don't think there's any tape involved but I can't be so sure since I don't work right at the press. I think they're somehow connected with many rollers that when it's time to switch it's supposed to run seamlessly. If they actually noticed that this had the jagged edges, they'd just throw away this copy ^^; I wonder if the tape fix comes from the shop where it was bought from. I'll ask one of the pressmen here one day, lol.
My mistake... They do use tape in the splicer to connect the two separate rolls together. I saw the rolls of masking-like tape on each machine just now...
now that you mention about it . . . yeah it would seem to be the case . . . [sigh] . . . well I won't be able to exchange it . . . would have to be a little more thorough next time when I purchace my manga in the future . . . but wow I was unfortunate :p
Ah... That's too bad that you can't exchange it =/ But at least the print is still there instead of a complete rip/missing pages. This is also the first time I've seen something like this for a manga...
Ah yes, I kinda learned about this at one of my pre-print production lessons, I would imagine the roll of paper ever runs out there would be some sort of process gone through to tape together the new roll of paper into a seamless piece of paper but.. ah. You know. >-<
Oh! A fellow comrade! Yes, there's basically a machine called a splicer that puts these 2 different rolls together. And when one runs out, the next roll will continue the run seamlessly... At least for the press, not for the product.
It's my first time seeing this sort of thing tho. Interesting that it's in this sort of ^^^^ shape.
I guess it's so that they can find it? XD You know like trying to find the end piece of a tape roll, lol.
XD then it's kinda weird that such errors happen. Printing onto the end of the paper roll.
Ah it's common actually. It depends on how long the run is. Specially since it's an almost 200 page book it needs to use a few rolls to make lots of copies.
I knew I recognize those patterns from the edges of a newspaper and that big badass machine that cuts them. *stalked someone there once lol*
Apparently the pattern is different for the press that I work at. Ours is more wavy line than jagged :)
I buy Chinese licensed mangas :P
$2-3 a piece, certainly saves a lot when buying a full set ~
I believe it's factory defect...
thats a cool rip... lD
better than the one who ripped my magazine
Funky rip :P
So far I've encountered one or two cutting error in books, but nothing major. Too bad that you can't exchange it anymore :/
I recently had a really annoying problem with a few welcome to the NHK mangas I bought - some genius put the RFID-Stickers (those things that would cause an alert at the shop's entrance) right INTO the book on a random page. Might be great to prevent them from being stolen, but it was impossible to remove that big sticker without ripping the page ><
Its not a rip its where the two roles going into the press meet. The repair is the tape the use to join the two roles together for a continuous feed. They were supposed to remove the split page but its a common error.
I bet your book was printed by someone who was new to the industry. If you right the publisher they typically will replace the book for free.
I think it's safe to say that this is a simple manufacturing defect. ^^
A friend of mine once bought me a volume of Loveless whose cover was printed and bound upside-down. ^^;
I remember when I got Read or Dream #1 from my library...it was like someone took a massive "chomp" out of the page T_T
