Gintama 525

I dunno who told you Gintama was a happy, comedy manga. It’s a sad manga where people suffer. Whoever told you that must’ve been trying to trick you.

Ok, we’re back. The story doesn’t let up one bit.

I’m finishing up Ring so I have some time to do a little work on some other projects. So if possible, was to do more volume scanlations of Toriko and Gintama. We’d do more earlier volumes of Toriko and HQ versions of the Gintama chapters we did of the magazine but now using volume scans. I have the books and I can scan them, I can handle translating the stuff that’s added for the volumes between the chapters, and I can handle checking at the end and editing, but that’s all I have time/ability for, really. Right now we don’t have any free cleaners that can dedicate themselves to cleaning entire volumes. If people who are experienced enough to do that want to volunteer, email me at kewl0210@gmail.com. So if we get volunteers that are able to manage themselves, we can possibly get some done fairly quickly. But if not, we’re just not gonna do them, because we really don’t have the means. If you’re not aware, the image quality is much better than the scanlations done using magazine scans, we can fix up the translation a bit, plus all the extra stuff and changes that are only in the volumes. I hope we get some volunteers, because I’d really like to do more of these.

Edit: Fixed typos.

Ok, we’re back. Hope you guys had a good couple weeks. I mostly used mine translating Ring. I’ve just got 1 chapter left to do. High8sky is finishing exams and things and should be able to get the cleaning and typesetting on those done in the near future.

Now that that’s done, I have some time to get back to other projects, which I have a whole ton of and most will probably take me like… a few months or a year or two (Most of them are posted here) depending on outside factors. That’s in addition to doing the regular weekly/monthly projects on this site. But one thing I wanted to do, if possible, was to do more volume scanlations of Toriko and Gintama. I translated all of Toriko and we’d like to do HQ scanlations of Gintama chapters we did of the magazine but now using volume scans. I have the books and I can scan them, I can handle translating the stuff that’s added for the volumes between the chapters, and I can handle checking at the end and editing, but that’s all I have time for, really. Right now we don’t have any free cleaners that can dedicate themselves to cleaning entire volumes. If people who are experienced enough to do that want to volunteer, email me at kewl0210@gmail.com . Basically, I’m only gonna try to do this because it doesn’t add to my workload which is already kinda over-loaded. So if no one volunteers or is able to be self-sufficient, we’re just not gonna do them. At least for now. Anyhow, I do hope people do wanna help and maybe we could get some more volume scanlations done fairly quickly. The image quality is much better than the scanlations done using magazine scans, we can fix up the translation a bit, plus all the extra stuff that’s only in the volumes.

Ok, so getting this scanlated was kind of a nightmare. Besides coming a day later than usual when we didn’t expect it, it was hard as hell to get people together to get it all done. With like 2 people helping out that never did before and a bunch of people filling in, we managed to get it done with 6 total cleaners over the course of about 10 hours. Thanks a lot to all of them. Plus Mooni that did all the typesetting on short notice as well. I’m really exhausted now…

So, of the two scenarios we ended up with getting the raws early, so there’s no Jump for 2 weeks in a row. The next one will be on the week of the 11th. So until then, I’ll be working on other stuff. Mostly Ring. After we get Gintama done.

If this is what we’re gonna get, then we don’t need it
We wanna be laughed at and hated
We can’t smile properly, nobody loves us
But that’s the way it should be, that’s just right for us

As mentioned in the last post, there are 2 weeks with no Jump in the coming few weeks. Either there’s no Jump next week (Week of the 21st) and 3 weeks from now (Week of the 4th), or 2 weeks from now (Week of the 28th) and 3 weeks from now (Week of the 4th). Depends on how Shuueisha distributes it. Eeeeeenjoy the end of this arc.

Update: Apparently they announced a new season of the Gintama anime at Jump Festa that’s gonna start in April of 2015. Cool.

Ok, so this is Jump issue 4-5, a combined-week issue. So either next week or the week after, there’ll be no Jump. If there is one next week, then there won’t be one for 2 weeks. If there isn’t one next week, then there’ll be one the following week, but not the week after. In other words there are 2 weeks off but sometimes we get them in a row or alternating. It depends on how Jump distributes it this year.

Over there, over here,
a skilful toddling walk
Stopping at the coffee shop, I decide to take a rest
I can’t go back, I don’t go back

On the path of cloudy weather,
wandering aimlessly
two timid people
walk like foot soldiers
pretending to be people who like danger

On the path of cloudy weather,
she who forgot her umbrella
is fearfully walking in the rain
and so I, too,
carry my cowardice
as I stare up at the sky

Here’s Gintama 521+ if you missed it from last week. It’s just one page and it’s not necessary to the story.

Apparently it was supposed to say “Kintamandrill” in Bambuina’s description a couple chapters back, 303. Shimabukuro-sensei wrote in the table of contents comments last issue that it was a typo on his part when it was changed to something different, uh “Kintamandras Baboon”. It’ll probably be fixed in the volumes.

Apparently there’s some sorta Gintama-related bonus thing in Jump+ this week. So when that comes out I’ll check what it is and we might work on it if it seems worth it.

Edit: Ok, here’s that. It’s just one page.
