Hey there everyone, so here’s the new 3-Gatsu no Lion. This one is sort of the start of a new arc maybe? Or maybe it’s the same arc that was going last chapter depending on how you look at it.

This one just ends in “to be continued” so we’ll see when it continues. In the meantime, there’s Jojo next week. I’ve got a whole bunch of Gintama that’s like almost done as we slowly make our way through a couple thousand more pages to clean, and I’m working on Shima in the spare time I have outside that.

I said in that last post that “this should be our last release of the year” but I totally forgot about this. I guess because they oddly released it right on Christmas. Or technically midnight on the 26th Japan time. Because these are just 10 pages we managed to get it all done. But man I’ve done a lot of manga scanlating in the last couple months.

There’s no new chapter of 3-Gatsu next issue of Young Animal so the next one will be… some time after that. Maybe late January or after. In the meantime the next things we’re doing are The JOJOLands volume 7 and Managing Director Shima volume 6 and Gintama V67.

Hey yall here’s a new 3-Gatsu no Lion chapter. Kiriyama is playing Tsujii in this one. Will it be Good Tsujii or Bad Tsujii today? The next chapter comes out next issue of Young Animal, (This is the first time two chapters came out in a row in like… a while) which comes out on December 26th Japan time so I’m probably gonna be busy then because that’d be Christmas in the US where I am. So that may be a day or two at least after it comes out in Japan, just so ya’ll know.

Next week is the next The JOJOLands chapter. I’m going back to working on Managing Director Shima volume 5.

Hey all, we’ve finally made it to volume 18. It sure has been a while, hasn’t it? The last 3-Gatsu no Lion volume we released back in September of 2023. This includes all the chapters released over those two years. This series has really come out pretty slowly, but it’s really been great. There’s so much emotion packed into these pages even though it’s only like 170 pages released over 2 years. This is a huge effort to do these, cause we need to re-redraw and clean all the pages, transfer the text over, find all the differences, update everything, etc. I hope you all enjoy, we’re doing our best to make the final version of all of this as high quality as possible. As usual this volume contains a bunch of little changes. Umino occasionally slightly alters lines or removes things or adds some visual changes. Though unlike the last few volumes this does NOT combine any chapters so the volume chapter numbers are still 7 chapters behind the magazine chapter numbers.

Magazine 202 is volume 195
Magazine 203 is volume 196
Magazine 204 is volume 197
Magazine 205 is volume 198
Magazine 206 is volume 199
Magazine 207 is volume 200
Magazine 208 is volume 201
Magazine 209 is volume 202
Magazine 210 is volume 203
Magazine 211 is volume 204
Magazine 212 is volume 205
Magazine 213 is volume 206
Magazine 214 is volume 207
Magazine 215 is volume 208

Besides this being higher resolution and containing all the changes, this volume as usual contains little new drawings and a couple pages of an afterward at the end where Umino-sensei updates us all on how she’s doing (though I guess she also has a twitter she does that at sometimes too). She says her plan is to make the next volume, volume 19, the last volume. So far we just have one chapter that’s been in that so far which is the one that came out last month. So far we don’t know when the next chapter comes out, as they only get announced one issue in advance (And sometimes those announcements end up being wrong). So we’ll see what the future holds! We’ll keep translating it, and hopefully Umino-sensei is able to draw the ending to the series she’s happy with.

Hey everybody, we FINALLY have another 3-Gatsu no Lion chapter after… shit 3 months? It’s been a while. Volume 18 finally goes on sale on the 29th, so once it does we’re gonna get that and do a volume version of it. That’s going to compile together magazine chapters 202 to 215. So the whole Shimada match. It’ll likely combine some chapters again and cause the magazine’s numbering to be even further off from the volume versions. It’ll start at volume chapter 195 and go to what will be called 210 or so. With 3-Gatsu no Lion a lot tends to change between the magazine versions and the volume versions, so that’ll take some time. There’s no 3-Gatsu next issue. Who knows when the next one is, but probably soon.

Otherwise, everything else is basically in the same place as a few days ago. We’re working on finishing up Director Shima volume 3. And still working on getting more Gintama stuff done when I can. That’s all I have time for at the moment. After ComicK went down, we’ve gotten our whole release library backed up on Image Chest/Cubari now, and I’ve added links to the Reader page and the tops of all the Downloads pages so I’m hoping those are easy to find. For now I’ll keep uploading new chapters to MangaDex even though a bunch of series were taken down from there and more could be taken down at any time. We’ll see if folks choose a new site to move everything over to at some point, for now I’ll be using those 2 and also I might use bato.to as a reader site to upload new releases to. See ya’ll later

Whew, here we are folks, new 3-Gatsu chapter. Now after all this time, the Shimada VS Kiriyama match finally comes to an end. When we were working on this we talked about how it’s been about 2 years from when discussion of this match started in the manga up till now. This manga comes out preeetty slooowly doesn’t it? But if you read the manga after it’s out you could read that entire arc of the manga in like an hour. Feels kind of weird. Anyhow, uhh… in theory the next thing that should be happening in the Shishi-ou Championship is Kiriyama VS Kurakuma though I’m sure some other things will happen in this manga besides shogi. Let’s see where it goes. There’s probably no chapter next issue so the next one will be around a month from now at a minimum. Or longer! I dunno! I never know with this series. Enjoy, everyone!

In the meantime I’m working on Managing Director Shima Kōsaku volume 1. I’ve finished translating a little over 8 of the 13 chapters in it so far. I started a new job recently after leaving the job I was having a ton of problems at for the past year so that’s been preoccupying most of my energy for the day so it’s hard to do a lot of translating in addition to that. Gotta not overdo anything. And I have some ideas for other shorter projects I could maybe do, not sure if I actually want to do them though. I’d also like to do more Gintama volumes at some point. Anyway, see ya later!

Hey everybody, here’s the new chapter, chapter 213! Maybe Umino-sensei will go back to doing one chapter a month for a while now, who knows. The battle between Kiriyama and Shimada continues! This one has some great imagery.
In the meantime, I’m still working on Shima volume 13. I’ve got like 4 chapters left to translate now so I’m making my way through it as I have time/energy.

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!
