And here’s volume 9! It’s been kind of a while since the last volume, so this is from magazine chapters that came out like 9 months ago. Shoutouts to the Spanish group Luigi and Plastic Tears for cleaning/redrawing this. We’ve been making some scripts that should automate some of the more tedious parts of this getting things aligned and cropped and the text transferred over and such. There’s still plenty that has to be done manually though. I’m using those to find typos and little errors as well, just sometimes we’ll have done something as a stylistic choice so I need to check every single one.

Nothing text-wise really changed in this volume. One thing we’re changing though is rather than write “SEAL” every time on the stickers we’re just writing a note the first time it appears. Because the two kanji on the Point Blank Seal Stand are 封印. The second one just looked like the letters “EP” but it’s really a super-stylized “印”. Because the guy died a couple chapters ago that means it didn’t have some secret meaning and stand for something and was just a weird kanji. We also never found out exactly why it said “Kalakaua Ave.” on it. 封 means “seal” on its own as a phoneme but “封印” with both kanji together is the more standard word for seal. There’s a little description for it between two of the chapters.

Meanwhile we’re working on Shima volume 3, there’s a new 3-Gatsu no Lion chapter next issue of Young Animal, and we’re finalizing more Gintama. I’m hoping to finally finish this “redoing old chapters of Gintama we scanlated years ago” project pretty soon, hopefully.

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