[but we do still need to get permission from the Starry Heaven group, unless they've passed on their consent to the Red Hawk group (since Red Hawk apparently took over "scanlation" from what I understand)]

I think there are probably public places to download these, but we do still need to get permission from the Starry Heaven group, unless they've passed on their consent to the Red Hawk group (since Red Hawk apparently took over "scanlation" from what I understand)

I don't believe this is true.  We never got into contact with Starry Heaven, so their scans are still strictly theirs.  As for the Persona 3 chapters, all the upcoming chapters will have a megaupload link as I now have access to the group's account which I didn't have before.

Well then.  I will be hitting two birds with one stone ;)

As for P3, the early chapters were done by Starry Heaven & Gekkoukan High Scans however we did the later chapters so if you wish to mirror them.. You know the drill.

Oh I was just asking if you/anyone knew of anything for publishing multilingual comics (I don't really follow the comics scene)

So I gotta ask. Are the three downloads Emilio posted each a one month release? Or are they all part of the same month? Also is this mag really published every month? Because it sort of looks like a quarterly mag (it says Autumn on the cover after all)

Finally I guess I should assume this manga is just called Persona 4? Btw, does it follow the same story as the game? Before or after the game?? Or is it a side adventure of some kind?

It has been a while since I was here.  The downloads that Emilio posted are indeed independent magazine publishings.  The mag, Dengeki BLACK Maoh, the mag P4 was previously in before the transition to Dengeki Maoh, IS a quaterly magazine.  However, due to recent changes in popularity, the previous P3 (Dengeki Maoh) has traded places with P4 (Dengeki Black Maoh) which means that P4 is now a monthly publishing and P3 is now a quarterly publishing.  I hope that makes sense.  Yes it follows the game, at least so far.  Some things may be left out if the Mangaka deems it unnecessary, but i don't think you will have to worry about that.

On another note, I noticed Emilio's birthday is the 26th of March.  At least according to his Red Hawk registration.  As a birthday present, I will release P4 Chapter 4 on that day.  Maybe sometime time a bit earlier if I so choose.  Nevertheless, expect P4 Ch 4 before Emilio turns a year older.  :)

The manga is currently being published in Dengeki Maoh magazine.  There are no Tankoubons yet.  It is a monthly magazine, which would imply that there will be one chapter released per month - one chapter in each issue of Dengeki Maoh.  I am not really sure what you were talking about with the language thing, so I shall stay out of that.

There is currently a Thai version out I believe.  As well, someone recently requested if they could reproduce it in Hebrew.

You will find it on places such as:

MangaHelpers (MH)
Manga Fox
One Manga (OM)
Manga Hut

and probably a few more.

Go for it, lucyinthesky.  It is fine as long as you give the credit.  Other sites like MH/OM have already embedded the images in their site so why not?
