Ok, here we are. The first chapter of volume 5.
So, uh, the other 4 chapters of volume 5 are all cleaned and typeset as of this afternoon. I’m just waiting on folks to check them and for us to finalize everything. My goal is to get them all done by August 6th when volume 6 comes out (Then I need to like, order that and scan it so it’ll be some time before the first chapter of that comes out). That or sometime shortly after. Anyhow this chapter’s great go check it out. Volume 5 is the best part of the story yet, IMO.

Here we are at chapter 20 and the end of volume 4!
This is a big chapter, I hope you all enjoy it. I’m gonna keep working on getting more cleaned and typeset.

Ok, and here’s 19!
I finished translating chapter 25 so I’m gonna help with cleaning and lettering more now.
Uhhh nothing else has really changed from a few days ago. Next chapter is the last one in volume 4.

Ok, here we are, chapter 18!
This one’s fun and neat.

So, here’s a quick update on where we’re at with this project. The last volume out right now is volume 5, which ends on chapter 25.
I’ve translated up to chapter 24. And volume 6 is scheduled to come out in early August.
So my plan right now is to try to do chapter 25 in the next few days, and then switch to helping out with cleaning and typesetting and try to get all those chapters out so we’re caught up in the volume chapters once volume 6 comes out (Which should have up to chapter 30, which we’ll do right after that).
We have one new person helping out with cleaning and typesetting who cleaned and typeset this chapter, Lap. So hopefully that goes well.

I also have a bunch of other short things I wanna get done soon. But I’m trying to prioritize this first since it’s taking a long time to get caught up.

Hey, here’s 16 and 17. We’re into volume 4 now.
Huldra cleaned 2 so I got both typeset and finished. I’m gonna keep trying to get through the remaining chapters and get caught up. Eventually. The most time consuming part is translating them, and I can only translate these when I find time among the other projects and other parts of my life. So sit tight, we’ll get there. Hopefully in not too long.
I’m doing the same stuff I mentioned in the last couple posts. I’m helping out with trying to get the last few steps of Innocent Rouge v12 done now.

And here’s 15! And this finishes up volume 3!
Again, sorry these are taking so long. There’s just been a lot going on and it’s hard to balance everything.
The current chapter in Feel Young magazine is 28. So I fully intend to catch up once we finish up the current slog of the old Jojolion volumes and the final Innocent volume.

Here we have 14!
There’s one chapter left in volume 3. I’m working on volume 4 now.
Innocent’s almost done now. And we’re working on a bunch of other stuff too. It never ends.

And here’s 13!
Again, I’d really like to get this series out faster so we could catch up to the current chapters in the near future. Gonna try to focus on this a bit more now that a lot of year-end stuff is done and Innocent is nearly finished.

Oh, also Ikoku Nikki got nominated for a major manga award, the Manga Taishou 2020 award. It was nominated for the same award last year. But it’s up there with some really good manga, including a bunch I want to check out sometime soon if I can find the time. https://news.livedoor.com/article/detail/17689789/

Ok, here is chapter 12!
I’m still a few chapters ahead in translations and trying to do more regularly. Things are settling down for me now that Christmas and stuff is over and various other things I had going on before then, I’ll be able to get more chapters of this done now. This is basically the series I’m most trying to get caught up on so we don’t end up falling behind despite it being fairly short. Volume 5 has up to chapter 25.

The next Takeshi and 3-Gatsu should be done fairly soon.

Hey, here we are at the beginning of volume 3!
Again, apologies for these taking so long. We’ve had a lot going on IRL and these chapters take a lot of effort.
Volume 5 of Ikoku Nikki has a release date in Japan for December 7th. That should have chapters 21-25 in it.
This series doesn’t have a chapter in Feel Young every issue (Which is a monthly magazine, for those that don’t know), so we are catching up despite not getting these out too fast. I’ve got the next few chapters translated in advance, too.

Also Innocent Volume 11 is out in Japan now. I’m working on translating it right now. We’re gonna try to get that done in the near future as well. Also in case you didn’t hear, volume 12 is going to be the final volume of Innocent, an that’s scheduled to come out in February 2020. So plenty of stuff going on.
