Ok, so here’s this. There’s a bit of a backstory on this. I originally worked on the 2nd half or so of the Konjiki no Gash!! manga back when I had first started scanlating/translating (I also worked on fansubbing the anime, which was how I got into fan translating in the first place. I started with timing the anime when I was around 15). Some of it was translated by other folks too I think. I added those to the downloads page if anyone wants to check them out, but the translations are probably phrased pretty badly given how I did them back when I had only just started.
Recently, Makoto Raiku, the author of the series, released kanzenbans (complete/collector’s editions) of the series with slightly better paper quality and resolution and with all the color pages and such restored. He released them digital-only at first and then physical versions which finished coming out around February of this year. For these kanzenbans he created these little 7-ish page long extras where a couple of the characters from the series talk at a cafe. So that’s what this is. I really loved this series growing up, so I thought it would be fun to do this. It ended up taking WAY longer than I expected though. It’s about 150 pages long in total. That includes the covers and back-covers that were newly-drawn for the kanzenbans. It’s pretty fun, but I recommend only reading them once you’ve read the rest of the series first. It adds some character and personality to a lot of the characters. (I should mention a lot of these characters have no real canonical or agreed-upon name romanizations so we basically just used what *seem right*. They’re not necessarily the ones we used before.)
Raiku-sensei also released a “special book” for those that bought all the kanzenbans. It mostly just contains the extra epilogue chapter in kanzenban form plus an interview and some pages that weren’t in the other kanzenbans. I got that too and we plan to scanlate it at some point. But we’ve only just started on that so it might take a while.
Uhh, so this took way longer than I thought (I didn’t realize how many pages it was in total when I set out to do it) but it’s all done. I hope you all check it out if you like this series. Enjoy!
