Zanguard (81diver Spinoff)

Ok, NOW we’re really truly fully 100% done with 81diver. This is a sort of side-story to the series that was released under a different title, simply “Zanguard”, and all chapters are compiled in this one volume. It’s a short series of chapters about Kirino and his alter-ego, the sorta Kamen Rider ripoff character called Zanguard who protects Akihabara. Herein he actually DOES protect Akihabara. These chapters were done every once in a while over a few years. There’s four chapters in total and they appeared in Young Jump Mantaro 2007, Monthly Young Jump December 2008, Monthly Young Jump July 2010, and Miracle Jump No.2, respectively.

Anyhow I wanted to get this done for the sake of completion because it’s technically part of 81diver. It’s a fun little bunch of side stories that have little to do with the main story of 81diver. But it is still more of the sorta fun you can expect out of Shibata’s manga. Some of the series’ characters do show up in it. It’s not really anything essential to the main story but it’s a fun quick read and I hope you all enjoy it.

I wrote an introduction for the series here.

Okay, and so we have finished volume 4 of 8! We’re now officially at the half way point everyone. Hope you enjoy!

Again, this story has themes of infidelity, rape, suicide, gender inequality, blackmail, and murder. So be aware before reading.

Gintama 694

Ok so here’s 694. A pretty fun chapter.
Also now officially the series is finally going to really end for reals this time with 5 more chapters. I’m not sure if this one counts in that but maybe?
I think it makes sense to me pacing-wise as everything’s wrapped up now except for the final confrontation and end to the Utsuro/Shouyou plotline. But I’ll still be sad to see the series go.
I think so far this denouement arc makes more sense to be the final arc than the previous one as it gives more to the main themes of the story and I think that makes it more satisfying. Though the last arc was longer and gave a kind of wrap-up to most storylines, this gives a good conclusion for all the characters and emphasizes what their mission statement is and such.
Anyhow I’ll definitely enjoy having the extra free time. This took forever to translate.
I’m excited to see how Sorachi-sensei finally ends things off.

Innocent Rouge Gaiden

Okay, so here’s a special extra chapter of Innocent Rouge! It was originally published in July of 2017 in Grand Jump Premium, and since has not been compiled in any volumes. The full title is ‘Queen Antoinette Visits the Mona Lisa’. So this is a magazine scanlation of a one-shot extra story that was done for a special exhibition setup by the Louvre museum called ‘Louvre No.9 ~Manga the 9th Art~’.Thanks a ton to Huldra for tracking down this magazine and scanning it. It’s got some really good artwork and a nice little story, I really hope you enjoy it.
