Gintama Volume 58

Hey, we’ve made it to volume 58! We’ve got 12 volume versions left. I wrote a recap of what’s going on with this project here. This volume is the last volume of the Shogun Assassination arc, it’s the one with the big Gin VS Takasugi fight with a bunch of Shouka Sonjuku-era flashbacks.

So today I finished translating and typesetting the last of the extras. And as I mentioned in the last post, we finished all the cleaning/redrawing a few weeks ago. So all that’s left for the remaining 12 volumes is to check them over and finalize them. So I’m hoping to get these all out pretty soon and get back to doing some other projects. Once I’m done with these I’ll probably at some point scan the other 9 volumes of Gintama after Viz stopped (Their last volume is volume 23) and I’ll try to get one of those done every once in a while, but it’s not gonna be my primary focus for months like this project has been. I’m probably mainly gonna go back to trying to finish Managing Director Shima Kousaku immediately after at least.

The JOJOLands 35

Welcome back, folks, here’s chapter 36. It’s full of more horrifying pain and suffering for all of our heroes.

K so, otherwise mainly I’m working on doing all the extras in the remaining volumes of Gintama. There’s around 7 volumes left, and once those are all done we’ll probably get the remaining volumes out pretty fast. There may or may not be a 3-Gatsu no Lion chapter in the issue coming out this week? It said at one point that there was on the “next issue preview page” back in April but now it’s not there so maybe not. Also I’m working on Shima volume 7. Mainly I’m trying to get Gintama done but I’m taking breaks to work on that a little too. Also we released the volume version of The JOJOLands volume 8 a little while ago if you haven’t seen that yet.

Next The JOJOLands chapter comes out June 18th Japan time, so see you again then!

Gintama Volume 59

Gintama Volume 59

Hey, here’s the next one of these, volume 59. We’ve got 13 volume versions left. I wrote a recap of what’s going on with this project here. This volume is the one right after the Shogun Assassination arc ends and the beginning of the Farewell, Shinsengumi Arc.

I mentioned this in the last few posts but we finished cleaning and redrawing all the remaining volumes and I’m working now on translating the rest of the extras and then checking through the volumes to see if we can spot any mistakes or anything we think we can improve over the original versions. I already made all the major changes I wanted to do so besides that we’re just gonna have a couple people giving these a once-over and releasing them. So the remaining ones should hopefully be done in not too long. Translating the extras is kind of dull work because it’s mostly translating Sorachi-sensei’s long jokey rants that take up whole pages of text but I’m getting it done. Right now I’m in the middle of volume 55 working backwards, so there’s like 9 and a half volumes of extras left to do and I’m finishing one every few days. Once they’re all done we’ll probably end up releasing the remaining volumes pretty quickly.

The JOJOLands Volume 8

Here we are, volume 8! Man, 8 volumes already. It feels like it’s flying by sometimes despite the fact that it’s a monthly manga so it comes out way slower than any of the weekly series we’ve worked on. As usual this is the final version of these, scanned from the tankoubons, and has more image on the tops and bottoms of the page and all of the bonus pages and all of Araki’s changes. He changes a bunch of screentones in this one compared to the original.

Ok so besides that, I’m working on finishing up translating the extras in the remaining Gintama volumes. There’s not too many left and then we’re just checking them over and trying to fix any mistakes I didn’t see when cleaning/redrawing them. And I’ve done a few chapters of Director Shima volume 7, I’m doing that a little at a time. Mainly I’m trying to finish this Gintama project. Besides that, the next The JOJOLands comes out May 19th and volume 9 comes out in the summer.

3-Gatsu no Lion (March Comes in Like a Lion) 220

Hey yall, it’s more 3-Gatsu no Lion! We are now getting into Kiriyama Rei’s match with Kumakura. The series is probably nearing its end, so who knows how many chapters are left, or when they’ll come out. This issue *says* there’s another chapter next issue that comes out May 22nd, but also sometimes they print that and then there isn’t one in the actual issue when it comes out. So we’ll see what happens there.

In the meantime, The JOJOLands volume 8 is almost done and the other Gintama volumes are all cleaned and redrawn so we’re working on getting the extras translated and fixing up anything we can. And I’m also working on translating Director Shima volume 7. Might get some of that out sometime soon.

The JOJOLands 35

Hey everybody, here we are, chapter 35 of The JOJOLands. This is the third chapter of the ongoing saga of trying to find Usagi’s mom and the wacky antics involving death, self-loathing, and alligators.

So besides this, we’re working on our volume-scan version of Volume 8 of The JOJOJLands. That’s almost done. We finished cleaning and redrawing all the remaining Gintama volumes so now I just need to translate the extras and we need to check over them and we should be getting all of those out soon-ish (There’s 14 of them, volumes 46-59). Once that’s done I might try to do more of the chunk of Gintama from after the Viz versions ended, which is V24-32, seeing as the existing scanlations of that are all mostly pretty rough, but I’m not planning on making that a major focus of my time (I’m not really sure how much demand there is for that and the series is very wordy and we’d be doing EVERYTHING from scratch for those, including translating and typesetting). I’m working on Volume 7 of Shima, too. Also the next 3-Gatsu no Lion chapter was announced and that comes out on April 24th Japan time. So there’s plenty going on. Oh also Weebdex closed so we won’t/can’t upload there anymore. If anyone has any suggestions for another reader mirror, feel free to let me know. See ya’ll next month for the next JOJOLands!

Managing Director Shima Kōsaku Volume 6

Managing Director Shima Kōsaku Volume 6

Hey everybody, here we are, finally, Managing Director Shima Kōsaku Volume 6. Sorry it took so long, it’s been about 3 months since we finished the last one. Mainly that’s due to be focusing on trying to get this Gintama fix-up project done which has taken all of my time cause it’s like 4500 pages long. That’s almost done now, thank god, because it’s eaten up all my time since November.

So, this volume starts the Zeng Liesheng arc. Who’s quite a fascinating character. As the story goes on the scale has increased and the level of people Shima is dealing with keeps getting bigger and bigger and so some of the characters get larger and more extreme at times. There’s just 2 more volumes left in the Managing Director arc now, we’ve really made a lot of progress. Though the Executive and Senior Director arcs really feel like just sections of one long “Director Arc” to be honest. (It’s 8, 6, and 5 volumes for the three arcs. Though from Executive onward it goes down to 11 chapters per volume rather than 13)

I’d really like to get these out faster so I may focus on this for a while once the Gintama stuff is done. There’s about 3 volumes left to clean and redraw and then I’ll basically be focusing on translating the extras fro V46-59 and checking over the translations for mistakes I didn’t catch the first time. I wanna get that done because this redoing, fix-up project is kind of something you wanna just get out of the way and not something you wanna pause and go back to for a long time and I’ve been working on it actively since November. But whenever I get really into working on Shima I remember how much I love it and how fun it would be to get further along in the story.

In the meantime, we’re working on The JOJOLands volume 8. There’s no new 3-Gatsu no Lion announce yet. Uh, and the next The JOJOLands comes out on the 17th Japan time. We’ll probably get volume 59 of Gintama finished sometime soon as well. See ya later!

The JOJOLands 34

Here’s the new The JOJOLands, everyone. This chapter, like a lot of chapters in this series, is full of unspeakable horrors both mental and physical so reader be advised. Also that rascal Kishibe Rohan is in it.

Besides this, I’ve got a couple of Shima chapters left to translate and volume 6 should be done. Sorry about the delay on that, I’ve been trying really hard to get all these Gintama volumes cleaned so that’s mainly what’s been finished lately. There’s 4 and a little more volumes left to go, and I’m doing the extras when I have time among all these other things. Once they’re all cleaned I’ll probably speedrun through translating the extras for all the volumes that are left. And then once that’s done I’ll probably focus on Shima for a while cause we haven’t released a lot of that lately. Oh also Volume 8 of The JOJOLands just came out so we’ll be doing that in the near future as well. I really have like way too much stuff to do at the moment lol. I’ll get through it all eventually.

Oh and the Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 7 – Steel Ball Run anime is starting finally! I translated the end of that manga. It’s pretty good I recommend it. Hopefully the adaptation is good.

Gintama Volume 60

Gintama Volume 63

Here’s 60! We’ve got 14 volume versions left. I wrote a recap of what’s going on with this project here. This volume is mostly the latter part of the Farewell, Shinsengumi Arc where they’re rescuing Kondou from Kokujou Island.

There’s not much to update since the last one, basically we’re just working on these a little every day in hopes to get this project done in not too long. We managed to find some way to automate some more busy work so I’m hoping maybe we get them all cleaned by the end of the month. There’s like 6 and a half volumes left to go through and clean and fix the typsetting and all that. I’m behind on translating the extras but we’re releasing them when they’re done and checked. And I’m working on Shima and other stuff when I have time amongst all this.

Mangadex is down right now, I’ll upload it there once it’s back up.

Edit: It’s up on Mangadex now, too.

Gintama Volume 61-62

Gintama Volume 61-62

Ok so here’s these two, 61 and 62! We’ve got 15 volume versions left. I wrote a recap of what’s going on with this project here. So working backwards like we’ve been doing, volume 62 is some stuff about Utsuro and setting up for the final arc(s) against him as he eliminates some of the other factions to become the most powerful person/organization/entity and the main cast going to Rakuyou. 61 is the end of the rescuing Kondou from Kokujou Island arc and it’s where Utsuro is first introduced basically (He’s in like a few pages of volume 60). It’s also the end of the Nobume and Sasaki Isaburou’s big story arc.

So, I’ve been spending way too much time on this project but we’ve got volumes 46 and then 55-60 fully cleaned and redrawn as of this morning. There’s only 8 volumes left to clean and redraw left, and that’s the vast majority of the work on this series. That’s including fixing the text in the transfer from the magazine chapters and fixing the edges of the pages which are different in the physicals VS digitals, adding in sound effects, fixing any mistakes I notice, and all that. So mainly I’ve been focusing on getting all those done rather than doing the extras and getting them released. But we’ve gotten all the way to the start of the Shogun Assassination Arc done so I’m gonna try to focus on extras for a while. Also the 8 volumes that are left to clean are full of gag chapters so they have a lot of text so they take longer. There’s more text and also more redraws per page. I’m trying to also check through all the text in these as well and fix any mistakes or awkwardness if I run into it but that’s on top of all this other stuff so I don’t have a ton of time to spare to also do that and I haven’t run into very much of it. So yeah, I’m happy with the progress we made on this, it no longer seems like something we’ll “never finish” I’m pretty sure we’ll finish just I’m not gonna be rushing through it as much as I have since November. I’ll be trying to get more extras translated and finalize everything and get those cleaned volumes out sometime soon and I’m also trying to get the rest of this Shima volume translated that I’ve already been working on for like 2 months now.
