Toriko 164 and Gintama 377 Release

A battle with allies…

Ok, these are done. So like I said, it took a long time to get the raws for various reasons. And people have other parts of their life scheduled later in the week. Hopefully nothing like that’ll happen this week. Anyhow, these chapters are good, enjoy.

Gintama Volume 40 Release

Hanging out on a Fall day…

The weekly chapters are gonna be delayed this week because we haven’t got any raws yet. Our raw provider barely ever tells me anything, so I don’t know why, but we just need to wait until he gets them.

But since I didn’t have to work on those in the last couple days, I was able to finally finish Gintama V40. I really wanted to get this done a lot earlier, but real life problems kept cropping up that made it too hard for me to work on it a lot, so my jobs kept getting delayed. But everyone else worked hard and got their jobs finished, now it’s done. This volume contains chapters 344-352. Volume 41 is the Renhou Arc and Volume 42 is the Mimawarigumi Arc, plus a couple other chapters. Volume 41 is 353-360 and Volume 42 has 361-370, so once we finish those we’ll just need to do 371 and we’ll have the whole gap filled in. Then we can continue to go back to the earlier volumes we have a couple chapters done with, and we’ll continue to redo the issue scanlations with volume versions once they come out, because that’s fairly easy. Volume 41 is really action-y so it shouldn’t take as long to translation check through, and it’s mostly cleaned already, so hopefully that won’t take as long.

Oh, an if anyone’s interested, there’s nothing of much importance in the Toriko Gourmet Hunting Book. It’s pretty much like most databooks in that it’s just recapping the series with information that’s already known put into pretty infographic styles. It also contains the Toriko One Piece collaboration and the original one shot from 2002 (different from the One-Shot from 2008 which was in the Toriko Gaiden book). We might try doing the one-shot and a HQ version of the collab later on, when we’re doing volume scanlations of Toriko.

Toriko 163 and Gintama 375 Release

Darkness encircles…

Ok, so we had some delays this week. First we got the raws a day late because of an issue with the raw provider, then Toriko had a couple more pages than normal because it has the opening color pages this week, and those color pages take a lot more time to clean because you need to remove insert texts and redraw the pictures underneath in color.
And Gintama is Gintama. Volume 40’s almost done, I’m gonna try to get that done soon. Just a little left in each step.
There’s no Toriko running in Shounen Jump next week, so the next chapter will be two weeks from now.
Aaaand Happy Halloween everybody…

Please don’t rehost for 24 hours except mangareader.

Gintama 372 Release

Something’s definitely not right here…

In our ongoing efforts to work ourselves to death, we here at Hi Wa Mata Noboru have decided to try scanlating the issues of Gintama as they come out in Jump, starting with this week, while simultaneously working on catching up through the volumes. A two-fronted attack to try and get through the series and do it well. We think we have the resources to comfortably do this now. Hopefully we can keep it up, we’ll see. Thanks to Bomber D Rufi for translating it on short notice, and benii for cleaning it on short notice. But we think doing this will be slightly more efficient, because we can check over Rufi’s chapters right after he translates them, and we can keep one part of this on a fixed schedule, while filling in a fixed gap, rather than one that gets bigger every week.

V40 is most of the way through in pretty much every stage.

By the way, this chapter’s freakin’ awesome.
