Ok here’s chapter 212! This is more of the sort of thing that was going on in chapter 211. I’m very exhausted from working nonstop everyday for the last while. Uh, so the next chapter is coming out later sometime, I dunno when. Doesn’t seem to be next issue. In the meantime we’re finishing up Shima volume 12. Sooo later.

Here ya go, everyone. One more 3-Gatsu no Lion chapter for the road right at the end of the year. This one is also great like the last bunch with the emotional journey of Shimada and Kiriyama continuing.
We’re almost done with the rest of Kokou no Hito now. Those are being checked. Besides that I’m going back to work in Shima and we’re working on The JOJOLands volume 5. I hope ya’ll are having happy holidays and have a happy new year!

So folks, here’s the new 3-Gatsu no Lion chapter! This was the first one in a while. The last one was in August if you can believe it. Also as we’re nearing the end of the year and there doesn’t seem to be a new chapter next issue, it looks like there was only 5 chapters of 3-Gatsu no Lion this year. Which isn’t too many. But the series does seem to be nearing the end so maybe Umino-sensei is taking her time to figure things out. Here’s hoping we have more next year. Regardless, it’s another good chapter and I hope ya’ll enjoy.
In the meantime, I finished cleaning and redrawing the ENTIRE rest of the series of Kokou no Hito and now I’m making my way through typsetting. Volume 12 is almost done. Then the last bunch of volumes should get done pretty quickly. And we have Jojo in the upcoming week. And I’m focusing on Kokou no Hito now but once that’s done I’ll be getting back to Shima Kosaku. Hopefully all goes well with that. Enjoy, folks!
Edit: Ok so according to the website which updates when the magazine goes live, there IS a new 3-Gatsu no Lion chapter in the last issue of the year after all. So the next chapter should come out December 27th Japan time unless it turns out not to actually be in the magazine despite being in the next-issue-preview again.

Whew, so here’s the first 3-Gatsu no Lion chapter since May. I really liked this one! It’s 12 pages long so a bit longer than the last good few have been. There’s no chapter next issue of Young Animal so the next chapter will be some time after that, which is in late September.
Meanwhile, Kokou no Hito volume 5 is almost done and we’re still working on Shima volume 10. And we’re gonna be starting working on The JOJOLands volume 4 soon as soon as the book I ordered gets to me. Until next time!

Ok here’s this! There doesn’t SEEM like there’s a new chapter next issue. But Umino-sensei was seemingly hard at work on it and posted some drawings of names (storyboards) on Twitter. Meanwhile I’m overdoing it working all the time as usual. Anyhow, see you next time!

Okay! Now Shimada is finally playing Kiriyama! It’s happening! There’s a chapter next issue of Young Animal, too. This is one of those chapters that comes off like it’ll be combined with the following chapter when they get compiled into the volume because it sorta just “ends” without any sort of real closure. So anyhow, go check it out! Unless something weird happens the next chapter should come out on May 24th Japan time (I think? I think it’s skipping one two-week-period after this one).
In the meantime we’re working on Shima volume 8 and The JOJOLands volume 3. I’m trying to balance doing these projects with the rest of my life and not overdo it. And I’ve just had a whole lot going on so I can’t be working on hobbies after a day stressing at work or running around doing other things. But yeah we’re in the middle of Shima volume 8 and I’m gonna keep working on it as I’ve got time.

Man, I went and checked and this is the first chapter since early December. It really has been a while. There were multiple times since then where the magazine and website listed 3-Gatsu no Lion as being in the next issue and it just wasn’t. Well anyhow now begins the arc of the match between Shimada VS Kiriyama. This chapter just ends with a “continues next time” so there’s no 3-Gatsu in the very next issue, but in theory the next chapter will be around a month from now but we’ll see. In the meantime we’re still working on DRCL volume 4 and the beginning of Division Chief Shima volume 8.

Ok, here’s the newest one of these! This issue’s chapter is 10 pages long and it’s a fun nicey-nice one. This seems to conclude the uhh… current high-calorie thing happening and then maybe next chapter the Kiriyama VS Shimada match begins. Or maybe something else. Anyhow, there doesn’t seem to be a chapter next issue so it seems like the next 3-Gatsu chapter will be in January 2024. It’s been a great year of 3-Gatsu-ness, I hope you all enjoyed it. There were 6 regular chapters plus volume 17 in 2023, though it looks like the series is back to a regular pace with volume 17 all done so hopefully there’s more new chapters in 2024. See you then!

Edit: Apparently there IS a chapter next issue despite it not saying “the next chapter is next issue” at the end of this chapter, so we’ll see you again on the 22nd Japan time.

And here we have 204! The way 203 and 204 work I’m fairly sure they’re chapters that will be combined once we get to volume 18, since 203 doesn’t really have an “ending”. Also there’s only 16 pages between the two of them. Also these were in two issues of Young Animal in a row. The next chapter isn’t in the next consecutive issue so it’s probably gonna be in the issue after that in early December.
Otherwise I’m around half way through translating the next Shima volume and there’s a new Jojo chapter next week. Until then, see ya!

Ok here we are, chapter 203! This one’s pretty short but there’s another chapter next issue that comes out in two weeks.
Otherwise I’m not doing much besides working on Shima while I have time between non-translation stuff in my life. Anyhow enjoy!
