So it turned out we got this week’s raws early. So NEXT week will be the 2nd of the 2 weeks off.

And here we are again with this!
There’s no Jump next week as the 2nd of the 2 weeks off that are always done at the end of the year with Jump. So see you all in the new year for more Gintama. The new anime starts on the 8th in Japan, so we’ve got that to look forward to.

Off topic, but I also found this funny FAQ page in volume 66 that I translated for fun.

Ok, here ya go, check it out!
There’s no Jump next week, probably. I mentioned this last year (and a number of years before that) but Jump takes 2 weeks off at the end of the year every year: one on, one off, one on, or sometimes the middle “on” one comes out early and then it’s 2 weeks off. Anyhow, I’ll be working on getting other projects done in the meantime.
Anyhow, happy holidays, all!

OK, this chapter’s all done. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone with a recent Thanksgiving.
I’ve been a bit busy this week. A lotta stuff taking longer than I hoped it would. But a bunch of stuff should be done fairly soon. I’m hoping I get the first Takeshi chapter done sometime this week.

There were a variety of problems this week. Mostly it was a really wordy chapter with a lot of exposition and I didn’t have time to translate it all at once. Also a problem with raws again.
Anyhow, very interesting little self-contained chapter. A lot happens in it. Go check it out.

Ok, all done. Bunch of problems getting raws this week. We didn’t get any from any sources until Saturday afternoon. And I was up half the night translating. And then I had stuff to do all day today. Anyhow, all done. Enjoy.

Ok, here’s this one.
So Gintama at least is sure to run to at least January, given that the exhibition ends in early January.
If Toriko ends up ending next week I’ll probably write up a little about what the series means to me and that sorta thing.

Ok, so the big announcement was for a Gintama Exhibition.
Just so you know, there MIGHT be another color page (In addition to the halloween one we have) which isn’t part of the actual chapter, but has some more information on the exhibition on it (So it’s sort of an ad, sort of a 2nd color page). Basically saying the date and stuff (December 23rd to January 9th). But we didn’t get it from any raw source so we didn’t include it. We’re not even sure if it’s in Jump, or rather just someone posted around a camshot of a page from another magazine. If we do get it we might go back and add it.

Also, we need help typesetting Toriko and are trying to recruit someone new. If anyone with experience who’s willing to help typeset Toriko can help around 1AM-4AM Eastern US time, email me at kewl0210@gmail.com
We may also pick up something new in the near future (probably after Toriko/Gintama end) if you want to help with something like that.

Edit: We got that ad about the Gintama exhibiton and added that, and updated all the links. Again, it’s not part of the actual chapter, just a bonus thing really.
There’s an official website, too. Right here: http://www.daigintamaten.com/

Check it out.
Also next week there’s a “big announcement” for Gintama. I dunno what it could be to be honest. Might be another animated movie or an OVA series for the parts of the manga that weren’t animated? I don’t think “announcing the manga is ending in X weeks” is usually considered a big announcement. Same with like, announcing a video game or anything like that. Though one time Kochikame’s big announcement was them making a statue in the fictional place the police station in that manga was supposed to be.
