Hey here’s another one, here’s Gintama 66. We’ve got 20 volume versions left to do now. I wrote a recap of what’s going on with this project here. This volume has a bunch of stuff about Utsuro’s origins and motives. This is the first part of the story where Sorachi-sensei started acting like “Ok the series is really heading for the end now” and then it went for 11 more volumes. There’s an extra page added. Page 125-127 were originally just one page in the original chapter 595. That little speech was expanded somewhat.

Anyhow I’m really glad we’re making progress on these at a fairly good pace now. In the past few weeks I worked on all the re-cleaning and re-redrawing and re-typesetting of SFX for a bunch of random pages or little chunks of volumes in an attempt to get every volume “partially done” rather than do an entire volume done at once. Like I did all of the title pages and tables of contents and character-intro pages in the beginnings of these. I was gonna keep going with that and do something like “do all the title pages of every chapter” but we’re doing all the way back to volume 46 remember so any time you do anything like that it’s 20-something times, and if it’s in every chapter it’s like 180+ times. And if you’re gonna do all that you might as well just focus on getting something out/done while you have time, because I dunno if I’ll still have time to work on these things months from now depending on how my schedule goes. So I think from here I’m mainly gonna stick to just working on “the next one” and working backwards.

Uh besides that I’m still working on Managing Director Shima 6. That’s about it at the moment. Well, enjoy, everyone! We’re just slowly making our way up this mountain of Gintama chapters.

Also, we have a Discord! Come hang out and talk about manga. https://discord.gg/Nw45rfJYZF
