Hey everybody, welcome back from the month break. Here’s chapter 25. This chapter is a bit shorter than the previous ones, it’s only 31 pages long (Counting the cover). I think that’s probably because Araki-sensei was doing a Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan one-shot which took longer than a standard chapter of the main series, so he had less time to do as many pages even with no new chapter last month. Or maybe he designed it this way intentionally, who knows.

You all might’ve heard, MangaDex got hit with a bunch of DMCAs and those scanlations had to be taken down. Among our projects, The JOJOLands, Doubutsu no Kuni, #DRCL Midnight Children, Seikimatsu Leader Den Takeshi, Division Chief Shima Kōsaku, Sensei no Shiroi Uso, Innocent and Innocent Rouge, and Neko ga Nishi Mukya were taken down from there. Some of those make sense because they were licensed after we worked on them, but I have no idea what’s up with Shima or Takeshi. Like, Takeshi ended in 2005 I’m pretty sure it’s not going to be licensed. Regardless, it seems like we need a new primary online reader. Most groups I know are moving to comick.io, which seems fine, so we’ll use that at least for now. All our old releases are already on there because they were mirroring from MangaDex. You can still download the files here as usual. I’m fairly sure I’m not allowed to upload new chapters to MangaDex now but they haven’t really communicated anything about what happened clearly (People are deriving what happened from forum posts and investigating it on their own such rather than any sort of formal announcement).

Besides that, it looks like The JOJOLands volume 7 is coming out July 17th. And we’ve started on Managing Director Shima volume 2. I might try to do more Gintama volumes soon-ish too depending on my schedule. Next Jojo chapter comes out on June 18th Japan time. See ya later!
