Neko ga Nishi Mukya Volume 3 (End)

Whew! Welp, this series is done. This is the volume version of the last batch of chapters. The volume came out like 3-ish weeks ago in Japan, and I decided I’d try to get it done faster than last time when it took a few months. This series is now officially done! This is the last release well be doing barring there being a continuation to it at some point. I should mention, for some reason the last 2 chapters are both numbered as “17” even though they’re both full-length chapters, so they’re labeled like that in here as well.

Just so ya’ll know where everything else stands right now:
There’s no Ikoku Nikki chapter in Feel Young this month. There should be one next month though (April 8th Japan time).
We’re working on the volume 7 volume scanlation of Ikoku Nikki, too.
There’s no 3-Gatsu no Lion chapter in the Young Animal that just came out, but there is one in the next issue (March 26th Japan time).
There’s no JoJolion chapter in Ultra Jump this month, but there is one next month (April 19th Japan time).
I’ve been translating Takeshi but Joeabandonedmine hasn’t typeset anything since the last one we released so I might do the next one myself as he seems to be busy. For the most part I’m focusing on getting Takeshi translated so we hopefully get to the end of the series in the vaguely near future.
I might take a break from Takeshi and work on something else for a bit if I feel like I really need it. Generally speaking I’m just constantly trying to balance everything in my life and making sure I get everything done so I don’t constantly feel behind. So having a bunch of stuff on hiatus this month has been helpful.
Anyhow, hope you look forward to all that stuff. Enjoy Neko ga Nishi Mukya!

Neko ga Nishi Mukya Ch. 18 (End)

Uh ok so this is the last chapter here ya go it’s done! We’ve now done the whole thing! It’s a pretty cute little ending, and it looks like this was the intended length of the series all along given this is sort of a culmination of the story. Anyhow we have been doing this for a couple years now, though it was pretty short overall. I really enjoyed it! I hope ya’ll will check it out now that you can read the whole thing, it’s a really nice little series and very unique.

So the plan is to do a high-quality version of volume 3 when that comes out in late February. It won’t be like, top priority, but we’ll try to get that done not too long after release. But uh, after that this is all done! I hope you all enjoyed. I have no idea if/when Urushibara Yuki will do another series, but I guess we’ll see!

Neko ga Nishi Mukya Ch. 17

In case you didn’t see we also finished volume 2 a little while ago. You can check that out here.

Ok, so, uh, apparently this series is ending in one more chapter! I really didn’t expect that, I thought it would keep going for like around a Mushishi-ish length. But I guess that’s not what Urushibara-sensei wants to do. So this is technically the first half of the finale, and the next chapter coming out in December should be the last one. So, well, there ya go. It’s still been a great series and I’m excited to see how it ends, albeit fairly short. This is gonna end up being 3 volumes. We’ll do a volume version when that comes out sometime next year. Ah well! We’ll see what Urushibara-sensei does next.

Ok, here’s chapter 15! This one’s also pretty fun. Check it out! Next chapter is in late August.

Also, I updated the downloads pages to look what I think is a bit better. It’s not using HTML tables, now it’s just using divs with some CSS. I made that page originally back in like 2010 or whatever and basically just left it like that because I figured it was *fine*, since you’re just clicking links. But with how long some of those pages are it’s probably better to simplify it a bit and use CSS. I still have to add those manually every time. Ideally we’d have like, a database it got added to every time and updated the pages automatically, but I don’t think there’s any quick way of doing that with how WordPress works.

Anyhow now the downloads are link buttons and it should look better on mobile because the columns are percent based instead of pixel based.

Neko ga Nishi Mukya Volume 2

If you didn’t see the introduction I wrote up for this project, check it out here.
Hey, so we got this done. After finishing all that other stuff I finally had time for this. Though this came out in like February I think. This has up to chapter 12, which is a couple chapters back from the last magazine chapter released.

The volume versions of Neko are like REALLY similar to the digital magazine raws. It’s only a pretty slight improvement. As usual there’s more “image data” on the tops and bottoms of pages and slightly less on one edge. A couple images have adjustments. There’s a cover and there’s no insert texts. That’s about it. It’s a really minor improvement compared to the other series we do volume versions for.

Anyhow, a lot’s been going on, kinda for everyone. I’m working on translating Ikoku Nikki volume 5 right now, and more of wb 3 of Takeshi. The next JoJolion volumes should get done soon, and we’re getting close to being done with v15 of 3-Gatsu. The next 3-Gatsu no Lion volume isn’t in the next issue, so we dunno when the next chapter of that’s gonna be at the moment (Young Animal switched from being bi-weekly to monthly temporarily on top of that).

So yeah, anyhow. Hopefully we get more stuff done soon. I’m mainly feeling better as there’s less of a backlog to get through.

Ok, here is chapter 14! I really liked this one, I hope you all do too.

I bought volume 2 and I’m gonna try to scan it and clean it sometime in the near future, but it’s a lower priority than the other bunch of things we’ve got ongoing I mentioned in the last post.

Next chapter should come out in June, assuming they don’t delay anything. Some magazines have skipped a month.

Here we are with the new Neko chapter! Please enjoy. This one’s pretty heartwarming, I thought.

I’m working REALLY hard to try to get more of everything else done. The last week’s been exhausting as I rebuilt my computer nearly from scratch and had a bunch of problems I needed to fix. I reinstalled Windows and had to re-setup everything. That’s all fixed now though. I’m trying really hard to make progress on the 7 old Jojolion volumes we still need to scanlate (Like redoing them using volumes rather than magazines as raws (It’s a good number of steps and can take a while). Plus I’m working on more Ikoku Nikki and Takeshi and the final volume (volume 12) of Innocent Rouge is now out, so I’ve been translating that. So I’ve got a full plate at the moment, but I’m hoping to get through a lot of this fairly soon.

Also Neko ga Nishi Mukya volume 2 is out now. So I’m gonna have to find time to do the volume version of those chapters at some point.

Anyhow, enjoy this chapter. Next one should come out in April.

Neko ga Nishi Mukya Volume 1

If you didn’t see the introduction I wrote up for this project, check it out here.
Whew, ok, so this is finally done. Sorry it took a while folks, but we just didn’t have anyone available to work on it for a while.

This is the volume version of the first 6 chapters. Plus the couple extras that are only in the volume. It’s mostly the same just the image quality is a bit nicer than the digital magazine raws we used originally (Kodansha’s digital raws are generally pretty good to begin with, way better than Shueisha’s). Volume 2 comes out next month. I’m gonna see if I can setup a plan to do that one a bit faster, but Innocent Rouge v12 is coming out around the same time, plus we’re trying to get the remaining Jojolion volumes out, so there’s a lot going on in that area.

Meanwhile we’ve got Innocent v11 almost done, and I’m gonna try to get more Takeshi and Ikoku Nikki out soon. Dascalon is working on 3-Gatsu no Lion volume 15, too. I translated all the new stuff in it but we’ve gotta get the whole volume redrawn and such, so that’ll take some time. Look forward to all that!
