Whew. Ok, and now at last, here’s this. 3-Gatsu no Lion volume 17. For those keeping track, this is the first volume since we released the last one in October 2021. As time has gone on these volumes have been spaced out father and farther. I figure that’s due to Umino-sensei getting older but also because of how much time she’s spending polishing the story. This volume has a good number of little changes from the magazine versions, including being much better resolution. (We made this one a bit higher resolution than volume 16 in exchange for it taking up a bit more space).

Like last time, Umino-sensei has combined some chapters together, likely so they don’t end so abruptly. Also the chapter numbers have shifted back a bit so the volume numbers don’t skip any numbers (Though there’s still no volume chapter 153).
Magazine chapter 184 is now volume chapter 194 (Shifted to the end of the volume.)
Magazine 185 and 186 are volume 180.
Magazine 187 is volume 181.
Magazine 188 is volume 182
Magazine 189 is volume 183.
Magazine 190 and 191 are volume 184.
Magazine 192 is volume 185.
Magazine 193 is volume 186.
Magazine 194 is volume 187.
Magazine 195 and 196 are volume 188.
Magazine 197 is volume 189.
Magazine 198 is volume 190.
Magazine 199 is volume 191.
Magazine 200 is volume 192.
Magazine 201 is volume 193.

So now as a result volume 18 will probably start with chapter 194. But as of now we’re just gonna leave the magazine releases as-is and we’ll replace them once the volume comes out. This is all in addition to a lot of little changes to some lines and some art. Nothing quite so intense as last volume where entire panels and pages were added, though in the last arc of the volume focusing around Shimada some art was heavily altered/replaced. Also we left in the color pages from the magazine and like the last volumes we stuck back in the splash pages that started a couple chapters that were removed because the chapters were combined. And as usual it has a bunch of essays about shogi from Senzaki Manabu 9-dan and a bunch of extras between chapters and at the end.

At the end of the extra pages at the end, Umino-sensei says that 3-Gatsu no Lion is “in the final stretch”. So possibly it may be done relatively soon. But given how slow this series comes out it may still be a couple years at least. As of now, we don’t know when the next chapter will come out as it’s not listed in the “next issue” page on the Young Animal website. So we’re just waiting till the next one.

In the meantime, I’ve spent the last like… several months doing volume versions of stuff and I ended up having to do the vast majority of them myself in addition to scanning and transferring text and finding changes and such. So I’m really glad this is finally done and I can take a bit of a break. But also I can finally get back to volume 3 of Division Chief Shima Kōsaku which I keep getting pulled away from. There’s no Jojo next month, Ikoku Nikki is done, and there’s no more 3-Gatsu for a bit at least, so I hope I’ll be able to get more of that done soon.

And we’re back! Here’s another 3-Gatsu no Lion chapter. There haven’t been too many this year. Umino-sensei has been busy with finalizing Volume 17 and drawing various Oberons.

We’ll do a volume 17 scanlation though it’ll take a while because we’re currently working on a The JOJOLands volume 1 scanlation and also 3-Gatsu no Lion tends to have a lot of changes in addition to having to buy, scan, clean, and redraw the whole volume. That’s probably gonna include combining chapters, changing up lines, adding panels, adding pages, plus extras between chapters and the omake at the end. It comes out on August 29th, so we’ll release it… some time after that.

Mangadex is down for most people at the moment so you may want to use the other links until it’s back up. Ok it’s back up now.

And here we are again! It’s been a while hasn’t it? The last 3-Gatsu chapter was in February, I think. Anyhow here’s a new chapter continuing where we left off. Volume 17 is scheduled for August 29th, which we’ll do a scanlation of once it’s out (But it’ll take a while if the last volume is any guide.)

Anyhow I’m working on Division Chief Shima Kōsaku volume 1 still. But like I said in previous posts I’m not trying to work on this series every spare moment I have plus this volume is pretty difficult. The next and last Ikkoku Nikki chapter comes out in about two weeks. And uhhh that’s it for now! Enjoy all.

Here’s more 3-Gatsu no Lion! More fun with Shimada as he reckons with the burden of the weight of his life choices and also there’s coffee and sweets.
The next 3-Gatsu no Lion chapter is most likely gonne be around February 23rd Japan time. Shima volume 14 is nearly done, that should be finished pretty soon. The next Ikoku Nikki comes out on February 7th Japan time and simultaneously volume 10 will be coming out which we’ll try to do sometime soon-ish after. And also the first chapter of the new part of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure comes out February 17th Japan time. So quite a lot coming up soon. February is gonna be really busy and I’m sure I’ll be completely exhausted as I am right now typing this after working on this alongside my regular job all day. Enjoy, folks!

Edit: Oh I should also mention I added a Ko-fi link in the right sidebar if you’d like to donate that way. The Paypal link is still there and it basically does the same thing, it’s still ultimately just sending money through paypal, but it’s a different sorta UI.

Here’s more 3-Gatsu no Lion! It’s more fun time with the boys.

Most likely there’s no 3-Gatsu no Lion chapter next issue of Young Animal and there’ll be another one in the following issue. This is PROBABLY gonna be our last release of 2022 unless I go super fast and translate 7 more chapters of Shima and then the whole rest of the process get done in the next 10 days. So happy holidays and have a happy new years, all.

Ooookay, here we are at this month’s 3-Gatsu no Lion chapter! We’re now back to the Kiriyama/Nikaidou/Shimada story. I hope you all enjoy! See you next month for the next one, probably.

We’re pretty far along with Shima Kōsaku v11 and we’re trying to get that done soonish. Though we had so many things in a row with working on that and DRCL I’m trying not to over-extend myself working on this stuff in all my free time.

Okay! Here’s the next one! This is the first time 3-Gatsu has been in two issues in a row in a while.
I’m working on DRCL volume 2 right now which is turning into a massive headache and just destroying any free time I thought I might be getting in the second half of October. So anyhow I’m gonna go back to that now.
The next 3-Gatsu no Lion chapter will be… either next issue of Young Animal or the one after. So either November 11th or 25th. We’ll see!!

Edit: The Young Animal site updated and looks like there’s no chapter in next issue. So likely the next 3-Gatsu no Lion chapter will be in the issue that comes out the 25th Japan time. Unless it gets delayed again.

Woo it’s been a while huh? 3-Gatsu was on hiatus because Umino-sensei was sick last month. But here’s a new chapter for you all. It’s more of Akari’s big adventure! Lots of fun as usual. There’s no new chapter next issue of Young Animal but the next chapter will PROBABLY be in the following issue coming out around the 10th of November, unless something else changes.

Edit: Apparently the next chapter is in next issue coming out on October 28th Japan time. It took them a while to update their website and it wasn’t mentioned in the digital magazine.

Here’s this, everyone! More fun happy times with Akari-san. I hope you enjoy it. These chapters have tons and tons of text despite being not many pages so they’re a lot harder than the ones with nothing but a couple narrative sentences on black bars. Anyhow, there’s no new 3-Gatsu next issue so the next one is PROBABLY the issue after that which comes out August 24th. In the meantime the next Shima Kosaku volume is almost done. So until then, see ya!
