Gintama Volume 58

Gintama Volume 58

Hey, we’ve made it to volume 58! We’ve got 12 volume versions left. I wrote a recap of what’s going on with this project here. This volume is the last volume of the Shogun Assassination arc, it’s the one with the big Gin VS Takasugi fight with a bunch of Shouka Sonjuku-era flashbacks.

So today I finished translating and typesetting the last of the extras. And as I mentioned in the last post, we finished all the cleaning/redrawing a few weeks ago. So all that’s left for the remaining 12 volumes is to check them over and finalize them. So I’m hoping to get these all out pretty soon and get back to doing some other projects. Once I’m done with these I’ll probably at some point scan the other 9 volumes of Gintama after Viz stopped (Their last volume is volume 23) and I’ll try to get one of those done every once in a while, but it’s not gonna be my primary focus for months like this project has been. I’m probably mainly gonna go back to trying to finish Managing Director Shima Kousaku immediately after at least.

The JOJOLands Ch. 36

The JOJOLands 35

Welcome back, folks, here’s chapter 36. It’s full of more horrifying pain and suffering for all of our heroes.

K so, otherwise mainly I’m working on doing all the extras in the remaining volumes of Gintama. There’s around 7 volumes left, and once those are all done we’ll probably get the remaining volumes out pretty fast. There may or may not be a 3-Gatsu no Lion chapter in the issue coming out this week? It said at one point that there was on the “next issue preview page” back in April but now it’s not there so maybe not. Also I’m working on Shima volume 7. Mainly I’m trying to get Gintama done but I’m taking breaks to work on that a little too. Also we released the volume version of The JOJOLands volume 8 a little while ago if you haven’t seen that yet.

Next The JOJOLands chapter comes out June 18th Japan time, so see you again then!

Gintama Volume 59

Gintama Volume 59

Hey, here’s the next one of these, volume 59. We’ve got 13 volume versions left. I wrote a recap of what’s going on with this project here. This volume is the one right after the Shogun Assassination arc ends and the beginning of the Farewell, Shinsengumi Arc.

I mentioned this in the last few posts but we finished cleaning and redrawing all the remaining volumes and I’m working now on translating the rest of the extras and then checking through the volumes to see if we can spot any mistakes or anything we think we can improve over the original versions. I already made all the major changes I wanted to do so besides that we’re just gonna have a couple people giving these a once-over and releasing them. So the remaining ones should hopefully be done in not too long. Translating the extras is kind of dull work because it’s mostly translating Sorachi-sensei’s long jokey rants that take up whole pages of text but I’m getting it done. Right now I’m in the middle of volume 55 working backwards, so there’s like 9 and a half volumes of extras left to do and I’m finishing one every few days. Once they’re all done we’ll probably end up releasing the remaining volumes pretty quickly.

The JOJOLands Volume 8

The JOJOLands Volume 8

Here we are, volume 8! Man, 8 volumes already. It feels like it’s flying by sometimes despite the fact that it’s a monthly manga so it comes out way slower than any of the weekly series we’ve worked on. As usual this is the final version of these, scanned from the tankoubons, and has more image on the tops and bottoms of the page and all of the bonus pages and all of Araki’s changes. He changes a bunch of screentones in this one compared to the original.

Ok so besides that, I’m working on finishing up translating the extras in the remaining Gintama volumes. There’s not too many left and then we’re just checking them over and trying to fix any mistakes I didn’t see when cleaning/redrawing them. And I’ve done a few chapters of Director Shima volume 7, I’m doing that a little at a time. Mainly I’m trying to finish this Gintama project. Besides that, the next The JOJOLands comes out May 19th and volume 9 comes out in the summer.
