Here’s chapter 182! That’s a thing here.
I don’t really know what the deal is with the title of this. In Japanese it’s 道~みち~ (1). Which just means path/road twice, once in kanji and once in hiragana. So I just called it Path ~Path~. I dunno what else to call it. Uh, so if that ever gets cleared up I guess we can change it?

Also RIP Miura Kentarou. He and Umino-sensei were friends and based on what she’s said on twitter it’s been really hard on her. And I’m pretty sad about it, too.

Seikimatsu Leader Den Takeshi! Ch. 88

Here’s 88! The last translation I finished was for chapter 136 so there’s 111 left to translate. I typeset this one too, which I guess I’ll keep doing until Joeabandonedmine gets back. But like I said before, it does cut into time I would otherwise be using to translate. And there’s still a lot of that to do.

Seikimatsu Leader Den Takeshi! Ch. 87

Here’s 87! The last translation I finished was for chapter 134 so there’s 113 left to translate. I’m gonna try to help out with typesetting as Joeabandonedmine has been busy. But like translating 113 more chapters while ALSO cleaning and typesetting is really time consuming so I’ll do the best I can but I’m focusing mostly on translating for now cause I’d like to at least finish that part in the near future.

Ikoku Nikki Volume 7

Posted on by

Whew, ok here’s volume 7. Uh so this is really basically not different from the chapter releases at all. There’s a couple of screentones added, an extra page at the end, and the cover. And there’s no insert texts. It took a while because it’s sort of… barely an upgrade over the magazine version if at all. The proportions of the pages change slightly for the volumes so some image data is removed and some is added (Sometimes) on the edges. I think in the future we might just use the digital volumes for the volume releases for Ikoku Nikki because Shodensha’s digital volumes are basically the same quality as we would end up after cleaning and compressing these (Unlike Shueisha’s). For a couple of screen tones and stuff they actually look better in the digital volume versions as a result of the really thin white lines in Asa’s hair and some things like that which can get slightly lost due to the noise that results in the texture of the physical pages (Unless we made the output scans like, uncompressed super-high resolution). And obviously using the digital versions is less work.

Anyhow I hope y’all enjoy this! Uh, there’s probably 2 more chapters before we get a release date for volume 8.

Ikoku Nikki Ch. 38

Here’s this! It’s a good chapter! And was a HUGE headache to translate. This series is really quite hard despite not being super heavy on text. There’s a lot of emotional stuff and things said in non-straightforward ways. The next chapter is in next month’s Feel Young. And also I’m trying to get the volume version of volume 7 done at some point but I need to like, balance it around all the other stuff I’m doing.

Hopefully Mangadex gets back up soon. They’re public testing the backend API now so it can’t be too long.

Seikimatsu Leader Den Takeshi! Ch. 86

Here’s 86! The last translation I finished was for chapter 132 (in Wide-Ban 8) so there’s 115 left to translate. I took a break for a week to do Yuugai Muzai Gangu but I’m back onto it now. I’m gonna try to help with typesetting too so we avoid this situation where there’s a bunch of chapters released between big gaps of a few weeks.

Mangadex’s back end API is up at least so hopefully they get the front end up soon. I’ve got like a ton of stuff to upload as soon as they do.

Yuugai Muzai Gangu (Harmful Innocent Toys) by Shino Ura

Hey so as something different I decided to scanlate this. I was gonna do it all on my own but some other folks on the team helped out. The turnaround time of this whole thing was about 8 days. I needed a break from relentlessly working on Takeshi every day.

So, this manga is amazing. Please read it. It’s probably better if you go into it not knowing anything. I’ll say it’s a short story collection. It was originally published as a series of webcomics, then later compiled as a volume under the Comic Beam label (published by Enterbrain) in 2019. It was nominated for the 2020 Kono Manga ga Sugoi award. The author has one other book out in 2019 and has since had a one-shot published in Comic Beam. I might do that other book at some point but not immediately. I used the digital version as the raw for this because it’s generally-speaking good enough quality for something like this (It’s much better than Shueisha’s digital raws for example).

Anyhow I love this manga and it’s amazing and I don’t know of anything else like it. So please read it. I finished reading it a little while back and felt like I just had to scanlate it despite being pretty busy with other stuff. The author’s website is here if you wanna check that out. The comics published as books aren’t up there anymore but everything else is.

Uhh, that’s it. Go read it.

Here’s chapter 181! This one is mainly about Nikaidou. It’s also got a color page!
The next chapter IS in the next issue of Young Animal, but they’re skipping the next 2-week period for some reason (I guess it’s a holiday maybe? Not sure) so the next issue comes out May 28th Japan time.
Meanwhile I’m just working on Takeshi until it kills me.

And we’re back with 106!
Uh, so the manga did not end this issue and it’s not ending next issue either (They’d announce if it were the final chapter in advance, most likely) so the series will reach the 10-year anniversary mark in June.

Anyhow we’ll see ya next month! Volume 26 comes out next month too. We’re working on the HQ version of volume 4 as well.

Mangadex is still down so we have an imgur link and a cubari.moe link if you want to read it online. I have a big list of all the stuff I need to upload to Mangadex whenever it goes back up.
