Kigurumi 1st Tale with Renzokusei Scans

I originally stumbled upon this series about 5 months ago, when Derek asked me to buy an issue of Miracle Jump so he could get HQ raws for Kimi wa Midara na Boku no Joou. That issue also had the first chapter of this series, and it looked so insanely awesome (and just insane) that we decided to do it. Unfortunately, we had some setbacks in the form of not having a translator, but we should be good now.

The series is bi-monthly (one chapter every two months), so other stuff that comes out more frequently may take priority over this. Three chapters are currently out, plus the original oneshot from Weekly Young Jump, all of which we have HQ raws for. Whether or not we can continue to get HQ raws for future chapters depends if people are willing to donate, as I said in the previous post.

For what it’s worth, the official title (i.e. what it’s listed in the table of contents as) is “KIG⊃R∩MI,” but I’m not going to bother typing that out every single time because I don’t hate myself that much. Also, if someone could write up a description for the series so I don’t have to, that would be much appreciated~

Haru no Houtai Shoujo Chapter 5

I was checking the Comic Meteor site yesterday to see if Chapter 5 had been added to the release schedule (it usually shows the next two weeks), and to my surprise, it had been released without being on the schedule at all. Can’t really complain, though, since this chapter is quite good.

So I’m done with school for the summer, which brings both good and bad news. Good because I’ll have much more time to work on releases (and finally work through my vidya backlog that’s been building all year), but bad since I can no longer go to the store where I buy raws. I’m experimenting with buying magazines online and having them shipped to me, and I’ve ordered Ultra Jump for Needless, which should arrive early next week. However, shipping is quite expensive, and I’m not going to be able to buy all of my raws this way on my own money. I haven’t really pushed for donations in the past, but I think I’m going to need to start asking if I’m going to be able to keep buying raws.

As of now, I buy Young Ace (Yaotsukumo, OniiNyan, assorted series I scan for other groups), and Ultra Jump (Needless, Steins;Gate) each month, plus Miracle Jump (Kigurumi, which will be released soon btw) every other month, which are about $10-12 each. I’m also hoping to buy Mirai Nikki Redial when that comes out so I won’t have to rely on share raws, but it looks like that’s going to be quite expensive (around $30 or so) since it comes bundled with a DVD. Add shipping to all of those, and it ends up being quite expensive. If you want to help make sure that I can keep bringing you these series, and you have some spare cash lying around, please consider donating. All donations will be used for raws and raws only.

Thanks, and enjoy the chapter!

Donyatsu Chapter 11

Been some time, but here’s a new chapter of Donyatsu! There are only two chapters left in Volume 1, so yaaaay.

Pretty much everything has been delayed due to finals, but we should be able to make some progress now. I was hoping to have Devil Survivor 2 out by now, but since I’m the one translating it, I need to get it checked, and the person who does that is even busier than I am right now, sooo… Should be out this week, though. I’ve finished translating Yuusen Shoujo 3, but I’m going to hold off on releasing that until I’ve done the two extra chapters that come after that (3.1 and 3.5), mostly so I can just give them all to the TL checker at once. Also, I wasn’t expecting this, but Haru no Houtai Shoujo 5 has been released on Comic Meteor. It wasn’t on the schedule to be released today, but it’s always a pleasant surprise. I’ll try to work on that as soon as I can get a script for it.

Yaotsukumo Chapter 8

So when I said “late this week,” I apparently meant “in a little more than a day.” I was scanning the chapter this morning, and I figured I might as well go all the way and release it. I don’t want to spoil anything, so suffice it to say that this is one of the most emotional chapters I’ve ever worked on. Anyway, we are finally up-to-date with this series! Releases will be once a month from now on, and the next chapter will be released in Japan on June 4th.

I’m going to be away for a few days this week, so I doubt I’ll have any releases before then. I’ll try to get Devil Survivor 2 sent off for typesetting, though.

Needless Chapter 112

So this was kinda delayed, but it couldn’t really be helped what with all the enormous redraws. If anyone wants to not have these delays in the future, I do accept when people offer to help out. Just sayin’.

Progress is being made on other series, but they’ll all be out much faster if someone offers to help me translate/redraw/whatever.

Yaotsukumo Chapter 7

Alright, here’s last month’s chapter. Chapter 8 is already translated, and I’ll scan it some time this week. I don’t know when exactly it’ll be out, but I’d say either late this week or some time next week. Either way, once that’s out, we’ll finally be caught up! Anyway, enjoy this chapter’s color pages!

DDL here, IRC trigger is !yaotsukumo7.

I’m going to try to get Devil Survivor 2 cleaned within the next few days, but it’s been rather low-priority for me since everyone who wants to know what happens will just be watching the anime. Of course, if someone offered to help clean it, it would go a lot faster, hint, hint…  :>

Haru no Houtai Shoujo Chapter 4.5

So we now have a translator for the series, but it doesn’t look like I’ll be able to buy the volume to get Chapter 5 early. If public scans show up, I’ll use those, but otherwise I’ll probably have to wait until it shows up on Comic Meteor at the end of the month. Anyway, this chapter is just a short series of 4komas that aren’t really that interesting in my opinion. Have fun, I guess. There are a few pages at the end that are just ads for the volume, so they aren’t translated. I just threw them in for the art.

Here’s a DDL. Trigger is !haru4.5.

In other news, I bought volume 4 of Tonari no Seki-kun today, and there was something veeeerrrry interesting in it. I don’t really think it’s a spoiler, but just in case, highlight the white text between the brackets to read it. [Yokoi's first name is revealed. It's Rumi.]
