Well folks, here it is. With this, we have completed Ikoku Nikki in its entirety. All 11 volumes. This volume contains the last four chapters and they’re pretty much exactly the same as the magazine versions. There’s a few screentones added and text got slightly bigger in one or two places but besides that they’re the same, so this wasn’t really a big effort to scanlate. The biggest differences are the cover and a couple nice bonus drawings right at the end.
We’ve worked on this series for about 3 4 years and it’s been a delight the whole time. It’s been a VERY difficult series to translate to make sure we understood everything properly and convey all the complicated speech patterns and character quirks in English. I really appreciate Yamashita-sensei for all her hard work bringing us this series. All the emotional complexity and all the complicated relationships between the characters alive and dead felt so authentic. If anyone was holding out till the end to read through the whole series, you’re in for a ride.
We’ll see what she does next and I’ll maybe think about working on it depending on what it is and what else is going on in my life at the time. Enjoy, everyone!
Also, we have a new Discord! Come hang out and talk about manga. https://discord.gg/Nw45rfJYZF

Thanks again for working on this amazing manga. Your translation was great!
I’m sad that it ended, but happy with how it turned out. A *true* slice of life, where there was something before and there will be something after.
For anyone reading this, make sure to buy it when it comes out in your country!
Cheers. =)
Thanks again for translating this wonderful manga!
