Hey everybody, here’s chapter 17! Please go check it out. Uhhh more things happen in this one. I can’t think of much to say here. This one has a ton of text but so did the last one. Just kinda continues the current arc. Volume 4 comes out next month at the same time as the new chapter, which is August 19th Japan time. Besides that, we just finished a new Shima Kōsaku volume and a new Kokou no Hito volume so I’m starting work on the next ones.

Kokou no Hito (The Climber) Volume 3

Posted on by

And here’s volume 3! This pretty much finishes off the first arc/part of the story. There’s sort of a denouement in the first chapter of volume 4 but after that, the story changes quite a bit. And that arc continues until the middle of volume 9. And starting in volume 4 there’s a lot less text and way fewer sound effects so it should take less time to typeset. Though I still have to go through the entire translation and make corrections/improvements which takes some time. Though there’s still plenty of text compared to the last few volumes, at which point the amount goes WAY down. Also this volume does not have Nabeta Yoshio as the story writer and it’s only Takano Hiroshi. Hiroshi leaves as well at some point in volume 4 at which point Sakamoto Shinichi is the artist and only writer. So yeah, as it goes on these should take less time to do. There’s still 14 more. I’m gonna try to keep them coming out somewhat steadily but it’ll probably take a few months to do them all. I hope you enjoy! This volume I think is where the series really starts hitting its stride and feels special.

Division Chief Shima Kōsaku Volume 9

Division Chief Shima Kо̄saku Volume 9

Whew, here we are, volume 9. It’s been a bit since the last one. I’ve been doing a lot of stuff since then both IRL and in other projects so I hope you all understand. This volume is sort of a more transitionary one, I guess you’d say? Mainly the status quo stays the same a lot here and it’s made up of a lot of vignettes. The plot starts progressing a lot next volume. We’ve now got just 4 volumes of Division Chief left, so we’re making great progress, but man this series is a lot of work. It can be kind of exhausting and I need to balance it with everything else in my life.

Uh so besides that, 3-Gatsu no Lion hasn’t had any new chapters. There was another occurrence of it being listed as appearing “next issue” in the previous issue’s next-issue-preview page, but then it didn’t, seemingly due to Umino-sensei’s health. It’s not next issue either so we’re just waiting and seeing. I’m most of the way through Kokou no Hito volume 3, but these early volumes have a lot of text and they take a while. And the next Jojo chapter comes out next week. I have a bunch of personal things going on right now that’s taking up a lot of my time and energy so I don’t know for sure if that will be late or not but we’ll be trying to get the chapter out as soon as it comes out in Japan as usual.
