And here are 54 and 55! 192 chapters to go! And we’re done with Wide-Ban 3!!!!!
Ok yeah! We’re here! We made it to the Mummy Arc! Finally! A bunch of guys show up or else are first mentioned in this one.
I’m hoping we can get through this at a brisker pace but I need to balance working on this series with the rest of my life obligations so, I dunno how fast it’ll come out, but a lot of this arc is big on action so it’s often not as hard as the more gag-y chapters. Though there’s still lots of emotional stories and this series never gets too non-comedic, so it’s still a lot of work. I’ve already scanned and started on translating Wide-Ban 4, Joeabandonedmine is working on cleaning it now. I’m probably gonna end up getting busy with other stuff again but translating this part of the series is lots of fun because it’s a lot less racking your brains and looking things up to make sure you’re getting the jokes right and all that. Anyhow, check it out! It’s good! I think!

And here is 52 and 53! 194 chapters to go.
I’ve had some free time so I managed to get a bunch of these translated lately. Thanks as always to Joeabandonedmine who’s also typesetting them super fast as soon as I translate them. These two are both fun goofy and maybe heartwarming one-off chapters. BUT. We have now finally finished every chapter leading up to the Mummy Arc which finally starts next chapter!

At long last, after working on this series for uh… about 4 years we finally got to the story arc where a lot of the main cast first appears! Yay! Seriously, I’ve had to take a lot of breaks from this manga due to other projects and other life obligations but I’m hoping I can keep up momentum for a while because this next arc is a real treat. I goes on for a LONG time. It goes from the end of Wide-ban 3 all the way through Wide-ban 4 and finally ends about a third of the way into Wide-Ban 5. And it’s great. Tell your friends. Anyhow I’m gonna try to keep getting these done between 3-Gatsu and Jojolion and all that sorta thing.

Oh also Shimabukruo-sensei has a new series called Build King starting out in Jump next week. So go check that out, it’s sure to be something special as his series tend to be (I won’t be translating it since there are official translations of all of weekly Jump now and I probably don’t have time anyhow, but I’ll definitely keep up with it).

And here is 51! 196 chapters to go.
Whew ok now here’s this one. This one’s a fun one-off. There’s only two more one-off chapters and we’ll be at the Mummy Arc, finally (Which will then continue for like, a wide-ban and a half). I had some time this week to work on this series so we got a lot done, I hope that makes up a bit for not having a lot of chapters done recently. I’m working on the new Ikoku Nikki chapter that just came out in Feel Young yesterday now. And the next 3-Gatsu is next week. I’ll probably try to get more Takeshi’s done in between all that too. And pretty soon I’m gonna need to scan Wide-Ban 4. Anyhow, I hope you’re enjoying these, everyone!

And here is 50! 197 chapters to go.
Ok, we made it to chapter 50! A big milestone maybe? I dunno I feel like “less than 200 chapters left” was a bigger one. I have some free time now so I’m gonna try to get a bunch more of these done. Though the next Ikoku Nikki comes out on Friday and then next week the next 3-Gatsu no Lion chapter comes out so there’s other stuff going on, but I’d like to keep going with these a bit more frequently at least while I’m not overwhelmed with other IRL stuff.

And here is 49! 198 chapters to go.
Sorry it’s been so long since the last chapter, almost a month now. This concludes the Mustache King… arc? 2 chapter long story? Whatever you wanna call it.

I hope you’re all doing well out there, with how crazy the world’s been. I know it could be going better for me, but things seem to be finally calming down maybe hopefully fingers crossed.
I’m almost done with the Konjiki no Gash!! Special Book I said I’d be doing a while back. So after that I should in theory have more time to work on Takeshi. And maybe I can start getting through this series at a regular, faster pace. We’ll see! I can’t say much has been predictable at all lately.

And here is 48! 199 chapters to go. This is a sort of parody of a tournament arc a lot of manga do. In that it’s super condensed to be just 2 chapters long, this one being the first. It’s pretty fun!
I was away on vacation last week so now I’m getting back to things. Should have more stuff of various series done sometime soon. Uhhh that’s it!

Here we are with the next one!
So, we now have exactly 200 chapters to go. Woo. It’s probably gonna take a while if we ever get to the end but I’m gonna keep going as long as I can. Basically I’m doing these whenever I have free time between other real life stuff and the ongoing series.
So, here’s what we have coming up for Takeshi. 48 and 49 are a two-chapter short arc. Then 50-53 are one-off chapters. Then at chapter 54 the Mummy Arc finally starts, which is one of the major arcs. This one spans alllll the way through Wide-Ban 4 and a bunch of Wide-Ban 5, and doesn’t end until chapter 79. A lot of the major characters in the series first appear in that arc, so I’m excited about getting there soon. I hope you’re all looking forward to it. I’m gonna try to get therough these other 6 chapters so we can start that soon.

Ok, here’s the next one! This one’s a goofy little formula-change one where it takes place entirely inside a storybook.
We are now technically into volume 6 if you’re going by the original volumes. And we’ve just got… 201 chapters to go.

Ok, here is 45. This is also technically the last chapter of volume 5, if you’re going by the old volumes and not the wide-bans. It’s also the end of the 8th String baseball arc thing!
I’m just getting this stuff done in between other life stuff.

Mangadex is down right now so we’ll upload there once it’s back up.

Edit: I think what’s happening is it’s not DOWN but just slow due to a server cache wipe. So it’s uploaded but you may or may not be able to read it there at the moment. Try reloading several times and the pages might eventually load. Might be better in a day or two. Anyhow the link is updated.

Edit 2: They confirmed that on Discord. So if it’s not working just try reloading a few times.

Ok, here’s 44! I got this done this weekend and Joeabandonedmine finished lettering it yesterday so this one got done fast. Hopefully once I finish the rest of Ikoku Nikki and a few other things we’ll be able to come out with these more frequently. That’s the goal anyhow, but life is a series of trying-to-find-time-for-its.

Also I should mention there was an extra page from the volumes that should’ve been in chapter 43 that we accidentally skipped because it was placed after the popularity poll rather than at the end of the chapter like usual. Here’s that one page if you only wanna read it on its own, it should be added to all links to chapter 43 now. https://mangadex.org/chapter/996016/23
