Seems like you really are out of luck.
My upload, for some reason, is being a straight up bitch.

Come to our irc channel I guess, it's not that hard to figure out.

For now, see if you can get it from our channel, but I think that when we release Volume 9, which is going on sale at the end of this month, I'll make another torrent for all of them on our own tracker that is server-seeded.

The problem doesn't really seem to be seeding, it's that the tracker went down.
Try this temporary torrent I patched to use a backup tracker.

This is more psychological but still effective than I am used to. And I love the trippy visuals.

It seems no one is really "normal" in H-vision just some are more to their self image until certain events take or not.

How sad is it that Takashi Miike was idealized retardedly in this manga and still looked a hundred times uglier than sin?

Okay I'll shut up on that.

Ya know its a sign I'm too perverse when the idea that a a guy eats his own cum just doesn't even shock me nearly as much as the art direction is insisting it should. I mean within the context that he's mastrubating at all that uhm seems normal. Though for a while I wondered if he was doing coke.

I'm still very unsure about the Yukari arc. I mean it started pretty awesome. Morphic girl made up of info and symbols she just doesn't know what to do with. So she's invested in her body, in a way, to unlock her identity. I also liked how Ito and her interacted. He was ... how can I put it immoral and creepy but as it was clear she was breaking him at the same time plus he was charming her ...

Compare this to Nakoshi's encounter with her. He seems to deliberately try to hurt her and she felt less... active. Her homunculus was active but I just didn't like the subtext of that compared to her Ito encounter. Ito was seducing her but seduction is pretty much a give and take matter, someone filling you up of things so you give in. One one level its obvious she wanted something from and was messed up without Nakoshi's influence. She may have even wanted to sex him up. That felt particularly clear when he dropped her off. She wanted some, Ito had more or less primed the pump but turned her off as he wasn't as smooth as he pretended to be where as Nakoshi seemed more like herself and was just about right (and if not for the Rash I was certain he set that up). So she more or less figures she is interested or wants something this guy can give her. but she's uncertain. Its after she figures he's homeless when things just get screwy.

I mean he forces himself on her when he could just ask. Makes the entire encounter demeaning and uncomfortable and sneers at her idea of sex. It was better when she took a more active role, holding on and making him stay in until she could feel it. But I just don't know what, if anything, changed. Did her mom seriously not recognise her? And what was the meaning of the cutting leading to her sand/symbol self dissolving.

Man I love trying to puzzle out the homunculi. Like the shadow guy, what could his deal have been? A "humble" narcissist.

And then Ito. darn it. Toughest one yet. I figured the earlier invisibility was a "conditional" state. It was a little too neat that he honestly lacked self image so much as he didn't really exude one under most circumstances (too much jewelry, too...orthodox about his image, its hard for me to state it). I just took it to mean he's much more...self-aware and undercontrol about his reactions and thoughts and what he shows. He can pick a person out of a crowd, yank out their tell, and effectively make use of different situations. Unlike some manipulators coughLightYagamicough he's plainly full of his own foibles and limits just tends to cheat around them. Though Nakoshi is the better lier. I still have to wonder how much of what we know is true about Ito, I mean seriously could that post operation absence have screamed "SET-UP" louder.

"Ah yes, well even though I am playing a triple life and am fascinated by what happens never andt even though you're poor, a liar, and untrustworthy let me leave you in this personal, expensive, and dare I mention INCRIMINATING apartment completely unattended."

One theory I got is that he *is* his father somehow. Or this isn't his experiment but his pops.

The other is that Nakoshi already figured out his secret just he's not the kind of personality, ala the girl, who you can just peek at the core and then shatter the whole thing. He's too...unflappable, detached. That he's a freak (semi-gender bending, rebellious, a little homo) is safe and something he can slip into even if its true or not true, its reassuring, he can play with or against that. I am wondering if Nakoshi can see the fish now because he got the sand leg or because Ito interfaced with Yukari's sand.

ARGH, why a guppy WHY

v10 due in August

The volume didn't get released in August, I didn't find a new release date, HMV says end November but it's the only site indicating this. I don't know the reason for the delay. Although the publication in the Spirits is not very regular, I thought there might have been enough material to publish a volume.

Regarding volume 9 the story is centered again on Manabu & Nakoshi, seems like Nakoshi has found out what Manabu was hiding...we'll see in the next volume.
