The flame of life…

Hey, so now that we got all those other projects done we decided to try to do the last few volumes of Gintama using volume raws.
In an ideal world, we would’ve eventually redone ALL the volumes of Gintama that we worked on in volume form, but that’s just not how things panned out. I was originally trying to do that but lack of staff to work on it consistently made it impossible and trying to manage that on top of alllll these other projects I’m doing was more stress for me than it was worth, especially when I had to constantly fill in for jobs and remind people who weren’t working on it to get back to it a lot, replace people who’d just stopped working on it and ignored all attempts to contact them, that sort of thing. I wrote about this more back in 2015 when we did the last one. At this point there’s like 30 of those and it would be a massive project to tackle now, and I don’t think all that many people would actually read them at this point. Also I don’t really wanna spend like a year to redo chapters of a manga we’ve already released so they’re like 10% better quality. Just to be clear, I’d LIKE to do it if it weren’t for the fact it’d just take up all my free time for all that time, but that’s the reality of it. I’d rather spend my time working on new manga and that sorta thing. I have a bad tendency of overworking myself trying to do EVERYTHING and then this stuff can take over my life, which is something I really want to avoid in the future.

Soooo I decided on a compromise to just do these last few as HQ volumes. Everything from V73 to the end. There’s one more volume out now, so we’ll try to get to that one soon. The next one is scheduled for October. In total there’s gonna probably end up being around 77 volumes. The translation and typesetting are pretty much the same since we did these pretty recently. We added some typeset SFX to make it a little nicer. And of course it’s got Sorachi-sensei’s various Q&A sections and rants about this or that that are only in the volumes, his various little adjustments like added highlights and details and fixed-up artworks, and the quality is a lot better than the Jump magazine versions. I hope you all enjoy!
