Ok so here’s these two, 61 and 62! We’ve got 15 volume versions left. I wrote a recap of what’s going on with this project here. So working backwards like we’ve been doing, volume 62 is some stuff about Utsuro and setting up for the final arc(s) against him as he eliminates some of the other factions to become the most powerful person/organization/entity and the main cast going to Rakuyou. 61 is the end of the rescuing Kondou from Kokujou Island arc and it’s where Utsuro is first introduced basically (He’s in like a few pages of volume 60). It’s also the end of the Nobume and Sasaki Isaburou’s big story arc.

So, I’ve been spending way too much time on this project but we’ve got volumes 46 and then 55-60 fully cleaned and redrawn as of this morning. There’s only 8 volumes left to clean and redraw left, and that’s the vast majority of the work on this series. That’s including fixing the text in the transfer from the magazine chapters and fixing the edges of the pages which are different in the physicals VS digitals, adding in sound effects, fixing any mistakes I notice, and all that. So mainly I’ve been focusing on getting all those done rather than doing the extras and getting them released. But we’ve gotten all the way to the start of the Shogun Assassination Arc done so I’m gonna try to focus on extras for a while. Also the 8 volumes that are left to clean are full of gag chapters so they have a lot of text so they take longer. There’s more text and also more redraws per page. I’m trying to also check through all the text in these as well and fix any mistakes or awkwardness if I run into it but that’s on top of all this other stuff so I don’t have a ton of time to spare to also do that and I haven’t run into very much of it. So yeah, I’m happy with the progress we made on this, it no longer seems like something we’ll “never finish” I’m pretty sure we’ll finish just I’m not gonna be rushing through it as much as I have since November. I’ll be trying to get more extras translated and finalize everything and get those cleaned volumes out sometime soon and I’m also trying to get the rest of this Shima volume translated that I’ve already been working on for like 2 months now.

Here’s 63.! We’ve got 17 volume versions left. I wrote a recap of what’s going on with this project here. This volume is mainly about Katsura, Sakamoto, and Gin fighting the three big Harusame division captains Neptune Shoukaku, Uranus Hankai, and Pluto Batou. This is also the one with the Pakuyasa in it.

Ok well anyhow nothing really changed from a few days ago when we released the last one. As usual I’m trying to fix any mistakes we didn’t catch the first time or make improvements when I do these, and there were a couple in this volume, but I only have so much time and we only have one person checking them. I’ve got a few more that are mostly done except translating the extras and at least a *little* of every volume is done but it’s still like 2-3 days of work each volume. I’m gonna be taking some breaks because of how mind-numbing this is, but I do really wanna get this project done in not *too* long given it’s really just “better version of a thing we did before” and I wanna get back to doing projects of stuff we haven’t already translated.
