Hey everybody, here we are, finally, Managing Director Shima Kōsaku Volume 6. Sorry it took so long, it’s been about 3 months since we finished the last one. Mainly that’s due to be focusing on trying to get this Gintama fix-up project done which has taken all of my time cause it’s like 4500 pages long. That’s almost done now, thank god, because it’s eaten up all my time since November.
So, this volume starts the Zeng Liesheng arc. Who’s quite a fascinating character. As the story goes on the scale has increased and the level of people Shima is dealing with keeps getting bigger and bigger and so some of the characters get larger and more extreme at times. There’s just 2 more volumes left in the Managing Director arc now, we’ve really made a lot of progress. Though the Executive and Senior Director arcs really feel like just sections of one long “Director Arc” to be honest. (It’s 8, 6, and 5 volumes for the three arcs. Though from Executive onward it goes down to 11 chapters per volume rather than 13)
I’d really like to get these out faster so I may focus on this for a while once the Gintama stuff is done. There’s about 3 volumes left to clean and redraw and then I’ll basically be focusing on translating the extras fro V46-59 and checking over the translations for mistakes I didn’t catch the first time. I wanna get that done because this redoing, fix-up project is kind of something you wanna just get out of the way and not something you wanna pause and go back to for a long time and I’ve been working on it actively since November. But whenever I get really into working on Shima I remember how much I love it and how fun it would be to get further along in the story.
In the meantime, we’re working on The JOJOLands volume 8. There’s no new 3-Gatsu no Lion announce yet. Uh, and the next The JOJOLands comes out on the 17th Japan time. We’ll probably get volume 59 of Gintama finished sometime soon as well. See ya later!
Also, we have a Discord! Come hang out and talk about manga. https://discord.gg/Nw45rfJYZF
