3-Gatsu no Lion (March Comes in Like a Lion) Volume 18

Posted on by

Hey all, we’ve finally made it to volume 18. It sure has been a while, hasn’t it? The last 3-Gatsu no Lion volume we released back in September of 2023. This includes all the chapters released over those two years. This series has really come out pretty slowly, but it’s really been great. There’s so much emotion packed into these pages even though it’s only like 170 pages released over 2 years. This is a huge effort to do these, cause we need to re-redraw and clean all the pages, transfer the text over, find all the differences, update everything, etc. I hope you all enjoy, we’re doing our best to make the final version of all of this as high quality as possible. As usual this volume contains a bunch of little changes. Umino occasionally slightly alters lines or removes things or adds some visual changes. Though unlike the last few volumes this does NOT combine any chapters so the volume chapter numbers are still 7 chapters behind the magazine chapter numbers.

Magazine 202 is volume 195
Magazine 203 is volume 196
Magazine 204 is volume 197
Magazine 205 is volume 198
Magazine 206 is volume 199
Magazine 207 is volume 200
Magazine 208 is volume 201
Magazine 209 is volume 202
Magazine 210 is volume 203
Magazine 211 is volume 204
Magazine 212 is volume 205
Magazine 213 is volume 206
Magazine 214 is volume 207
Magazine 215 is volume 208

Besides this being higher resolution and containing all the changes, this volume as usual contains little new drawings and a couple pages of an afterward at the end where Umino-sensei updates us all on how she’s doing (though I guess she also has a twitter she does that at sometimes too). She says her plan is to make the next volume, volume 19, the last volume. So far we just have one chapter that’s been in that so far which is the one that came out last month. So far we don’t know when the next chapter comes out, as they only get announced one issue in advance (And sometimes those announcements end up being wrong). So we’ll see what the future holds! We’ll keep translating it, and hopefully Umino-sensei is able to draw the ending to the series she’s happy with.

Managing Director Shima Kōsaku Volume 3

Hey folks, we’re finally done with Managing Director Shima volume 3! Lots of stuff going on in this one as the China arc continues. A fun thing about this one is there’s a lot of discussion about how China was a growing economy and developing fast when this came out in 2002 and 2003 and they were at the time speculating about where the country would be in 10-20 years. And that’s where we’re at now! So you can see how accurate their predictions were. Anyhow I sure hope you all like manga about economics because there’s plenty more where that came from in this series.

In the meantime, we’re working on 3-Gatsu no Lion volume 18 now. We’re in the process of re-cleaning and re-redrawing the whole volume’s worth of chapters. Plus making all the changes that were made for the volume and all that like we did for the previous ones. I’m hoping that doesn’t take too long. And there’s no The JOJOLands this month so the next thing I’ll probably do is start on Shima volume 4. And I’m still scanning Gintama volumes when I have time among everything else (I spent a ton of free time getting all our stuff uploaded to Cubari recently so I need to take some time to do other stuff). Anyhow, go tell all your friends Shima Kōsaku is the best manga ever and tell them to read it.
