Like Kewl has said in the post for the previous chapter, I’m the volunteer who will be helping with scanlating 3-gatsu chapter. Nice to meet you all.

I saw some confusion last time so I’ll repeat it to clarify it. We’ll do regular releases instead of a yearly one, as long as I’m available to do so that is. If I’m unable to help out then Kewl will go back to a yearly release.

And with this chapter, we have caught up to the raws. The next one should come out on the 1st of March and we’ll work to release them soon-ish.

Neko ga Nishi Mukya Ch.7

If you didn’t see the introduction I wrote up for this project, check it out here.
Ok, here we are with this! I’m exhausted because I’m moving apartments and this is the last thing I’m doing before packing up my PC. So here ya go.
Volume 1 is now out and they romanize the title as “If a cat faces west,” so we’ll change it from “the” to “a”, otherwise it’s the same. We’ll see if we can scanlate the volume at some point in the near future, too. But we’ll see. I’m hoping once I’m all moved I can get into some new stuff.

Sensei no Shiroi Uso Ch. 49

Ok, and with that, this series is done.
I hope you all enjoyed it. This was a pretty difficult series to do, despite not being all that densely worded. All the abstract sentences where it delved a bit into the characters’ subconscious were really difficult to be sure I was understanding everything quite right, since it was sort of indirect. A translator has to kind of have a very firm grip on what’s being expressed so they can get all the subtleties right in their target language. I think I did ok though.

So, this brings the series to an end. I hope you all enjoyed how it ends. I’m sure some people will want it to have ended differently. I’ll just say what my view on it was, which was that this is a story about a character who has all power taken from her, and over the course of the series is able to recover from it and take that power back. Whereas the character that took that power from her ends up on the opposite track, losing power as the story goes on. That, in addition to exploring a lot of very difficult subject matter and perspectives that I feel are hard to understand for some, at least for me these aren’t things I’ve seen depicted all that much in media in my own life, is what I think made this manga something special. I hope everyone who read it got a lot out of it. If there’s anyone out there that was holding out till the story was done before starting, I hope you check it out now.

I’ve got a plan for another series we’ll be starting soon. First we have the last chapter of Gintama and the next chapter of Neko ga Nishi Mukya in the next couple of days though. And I have some IRL stuff going on I need to get finished first, but we should have something new fairly soon.

Hey, so we have someone who volunteered to do all those various tasks I said we’d need someone to volunteer to do in order for me to have time to do this series chapter-by-chapter using Young Animal magazine raws. Say thanks to Dascalon, everybody. Thanks to them we’re gonna try to do this. They’re getting raws, cleaning, redrawing, typesetting, and helping release them too. We decided on using the digital raws though (Digital Young Animal comes out 2 weeks after the physical one) to save time and effort. And if for some reason they can’t do it anymore we’ll just go back to the volumes later. We’ll try to get a volume version of these done too once that’s out.

Also just so you know, in volume 14 they combined chapter 152 and 153 into one chapter. So while this is 154 in the magazine, it’s 153 based on the volumes. Making things very confusing. Hopefully Umino-sensei fixes the chapter numbers later on so we don’t have this discrepancy.

Anyhow, we’ll try to do more soon. I’ve got a bunch of IRL stuff going on I’m balancing this with. Check it out, hope you enjoy.

Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan Volume 1

Sooooo here’s this.
This has been on the backburner as a project we’ve wanted to do for a loooong while (Like a couple years now I think). But I haven’t had time to work on it until around October of last year. So yeah, this is Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan/Kishibe Rohan wa Ugokanai/Kishibe Rohan Does Not Move volume 1 (Called such because originally Rohan was just telling the framing story, rather than being in the story itself, but he’s kind of in the story most of the time anyhow). If you don’t know, it’s a sort of spinoff of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure that Araki-sensei publishes one chapter of every once in a while, sort of whenever he wants, and each chapter is a self-contained story. They’re also all given “episode numbers” but they’re released out of order. This contains the first several one-shots orienting around Rohan that were compiled in volume form in 2013. Originally they came out in various magazines over a number of years, the first of which came out in 1997 when Part 5 was still running.
These have all been translated before in some form, but we did our best to make these the definitive highest quality version of all of them. We tracked down all the color pages and such in the best quality we could find.
We might do more of this at some point (There’s a volume 2 out as of last year), but mainly we were just trying to get this one thing done and call it a day. We’ll see how things go. The group Jojo’s Colored Adventure is doing the new ones that come out in magazines and I encourage you all to check those out once you’ve read these.

Gintama Volume 76

Ok, and here we have volume 76, the high-quality version of chapters 686-695. That covers NEARLY all the chapters released so far, all except the ones only in the final volume.
So here’s where Gintama is at as a project. The last chapter should PROBABLY be in the next issue of Jump GIGA which comes out on February 22nd.
Volume 77 should be the last volume and will come out in spring of this year. We’ll try to do that soon after it comes out.
And I’m going to try and do volume 34 and 35 at some point, but as a side project I work on when I have time (Those chapters take a loooong time to do and there’s a lot).
