Ring Volume 1

Wha…?
Ring_v01_ch001_pg020

All right. So, I can now finally present Ring volume 1. Man, this is another thing that was a really long time coming.
So lemme introduce this, this series is called Ring. Not the horror movie. It’s written by Shimabukuro Mitsutoshi, author of Toriko. It’s a short series, only 3 volumes long, written in 2004-2005 in Super Jump (a biweekly seinen magazine) after the end of Shimabukuro’s first series, Seikimatsu Leader Den Takeshi which ran in Shounen Jump. Takeshi was a really huge, long series that was one of the most popular series in Jump during its heyday. So I’d like to maybe work on that series at some point after this one is done, because working on a series like the kind Shimabukuro-sensei does is tons of work (and we don’t have tons of people) plus this one is shorter so we’re doing this one first. I scanned this volume back in 2012, but haven’t been able to make much of any progress until the last few months because I was always busy with tons of other stuff. We’re gonna really try to get through the other two volumes in not too too long. But it’s just me and high8sky working on this, so it’ll depend on both of our schedules and I tend to severely overwork myself anyhow.

Uh, basically what it’s about. It’s a sports manga about a sport that Shimabukuro-sensei made up. It’s really good. The comedy’s really great, and a lot of the style from Takeshi really shines through here. I think a lot of stuff that was in this manga ended up being the basis for a lot Shimabukuro-sensei used in Toriko, too. So give it a try, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

Happy 300th Toriko everyone. For the most part scanlating went fine this week. There’s no daylight savings in Japan so for our group in the US our schedules have to shift a bit though because we’ll get the raws at a slightly different time.
And congrats to Naruto for finally ending.

I can’t wait to work on this Gintama chapter. Again…

Ok, yet another issue of Jump coming out early. I swear there’s been more this year than there ever was before. Uhh…. Apparenly there’s one more in like 3 weeks and that’s it for this year. Anyhow, this chapter’s pretty cool. I like how this continent’s story is shaping up. It’s a pretty interesting concept, this monkey hierarchy thing.

Ok, so somehow this week went even worse than last week. I’m really really fried now. I finished translating at 6:20AM and it took until about 5:30PM to finish cleaning. All because none of the regular cleaners showed up for a 2nd week in a row. It’s really hard for me to deal with this. Especially when the people that do show up are working so hard. Even working on their lunch hours and during work and all that in order to get this done. And having to do it all day like today. The turnaround time for this chapter was something like 13 hours and there wasn’t any point when people weren’t working on it.

If anybody would like to volunteer to help clean this series on a weekly basis, it would really help us out. I’m sure somebody will help train you, but we really need help. This isn’t working as things currently stand. Me and everyone else are miserable trying to do this with so little help. Email me at kewl0210@gmail.com thanks.

I wonder how many times a character has yelled “It’s huge!” in this manga… Gotta be a lot by now…

Really really frustrating time doing this chapter. It took about 12 hours to get the whole thing cleaned because we couldn’t get in contact with/a response from our cleaners so we had to get people to fill in, probably because Jump came out early this week. Thanks to azevedo and Jfreekao for filling in and helping us finally get this done. Thanks Mooni and Shinjo for spending all day typesetting. It was really hectic and stressful and I just wanna relax now.
