Ok, here’s chapter 2!

I’ve had a lot of IRL stuff going on and I’m trying to get Gintama volume 34 done which is a huge project. But basically we’ll be getting more of this series done as we have time and we’ll try to get them out regularly. Honestly I need to sort of balance scanlating with the rest of my life better than I have been for a while now that we finished all those other projects/series we’ve done recently (Course Gintama still isn’t done). Volume 4 is coming out in Japan next month. We still dunno when the next Gintama chapter is coming out but apparently they’re gonna announce it in the app at some point “soon”. We’re working on finishing up Jojolion V19. And the next 3-Gatsu chapter should be done soon. We’re also gonna try to scanlate the volume version of Neko ga Nishi Mukya at some point in the near future.

This chapter starts to lay more of the plot out and give you more of an idea of what this series is like. I really like it and I hope you all enjoy.

Hey, so here’s the new series we’re doing next, Ikoku Nikki. The title means “Different Country Diary” and the name is based on a book about diplomacy from the Edo period. Though this uses a different kanji for the word “different” for some reason (Explicitly not the usual one meaning ‘Foreign Country’). The official English title found on the cover and title pages is “Journal with witch” but, well besides the grammatical error that’s not what the Japanese title means.

Anyhow, this series is a josei manga running in Feel Young magazine. It’s received a lot of praise recently, and it was nominated for the 2019 Manga Taisho award and the Kono Manga ga Sugoi! 2019 award. It’s by Yamashita Tomoko who’s written… like a whole ton of other manga. I think the most well known is this one BUTTER!!!! and maybe this one Don’t Cry, Girl (Though I haven’t read either of those). Regardless, I’ve been reading this manga and I really like it so far. It’s about a 15 year old girl whose parents have died and her life living with this 35 year old woman author and kind of what it’s like with those two different worlds colliding. It’s in the same vein of manga as 3-Gatsu no Lion, IMO. Anyhow, it’s ongoing monthly manga and right now there are 3 volumes published and the newest chapter is chapter 18 I believe. We don’t have a set schedule for this, and we have various other projects going on, but we’re hoping to get more out soon. Hope you enjoy, everyone!
