Konjiki no Gash!! Kanzenban Special Book

Posted on by

Ok, so this took a bit longer than I wanted it to, didn’t have time with everything else going on, but it’s all done.
This is a book you could only get by buying all 16 of the Konjiki no Gash!! kanzenbans. I hope you all appreciate it, because just to start out it was expensive! It also wasn’t released digitally and I dunno if they’re printing any more than they have.

This contains a bunch of bits and pieces that weren’t included in the regular kanzenbans. We posted all the new extras from the regular kanzenbans back in September, you can check that out here if you haven’t yet. Unlike the kanzenban extras we released which were only the “new” things, this is just the whole book because it’s not that long (only about 80 pages). This contains kanzenban quality versions of the various Victoream extras from the volumes, all the opening page/title page drawings form the volume, a Q & A from the author, a kanzenban version of the gaiden chapter which was originally only released in paper-magazine form (I did this a long time ago when it first came out, I tried to spruce up the translation a bit), and then a little article about Raiku-sensei’s workplace and an interview with him reflecting on the series and the release of the kanzenbans. It’s pretty fun, I hope you check it out if you’re a Gash fan! I know I am.

For those that don’t know, Gash Bell was the first series I ever worked on a fan project for. First for the anime and later for the manga. I released the manga from Anime-Destiny, my old group we fansubbed the anime in. But I uploaded them all here if you want to read them. So I really felt like it would be fun to do these, even though the series ended a long time ago and it’s been fully translated for a while. Now it seems like there’s a fully “complete” version for English-speaking readers to enjoy.

I dunno if I’m gonna be doing any more Gash stuff. I’m considering maybe going through the volumes I worked on (I didn’t translate them all myself, I translated about 100 chapters) and try to improve the translations a bit to sound more natural and try to fix any errors or inconsistencies there might be. Generally when I look back at translations I did when I was just starting out I think I could do way better in pretty much every aspect (Gash is a pretty simple, straightforward series so I was kinda lucky there, it was a good place to start out). And this was one of the first series I did full translations for. If I did I would make it like a super quick thing where I’m just editing the existing files, not re-scanning them or anything like that. But the thing with projects like that are they always take way longer than you expect, plus there’s 16 volumes to go through, so if I do do it I’ll make a post here about it. If there’s anyone out there that wants to re-translate the whole series with the kanzenbans as the raw source, be my guest. Anyhow, that’s all I’ve got here! I hope fans of this series enjoy this-nanoda!

Seikimatsu Leader Den Takeshi! Ch. 50

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.

Seikimatsu Leader Den Takeshi! Ch. 49

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.

Neko ga Nishi Mukya Ch. 17

If you didn’t see the introduction I wrote up for this project, check it out here.

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.

3-Gatsu no Lion (March Comes in Like a Lion) 173

Ok, here’s the next chapter in this. This chapter’s a goodie, but a shortie. Only 7 pages.
This recontextualized a line from chapter 160 so I went back and re-worded that a bit and re-uploaded the links to volume 15 that had it.
There IS a chapter of 3-Gatsu in the next Young Animal, which comes out November 13th in Japan. So look forward to that.

Uh, otherwise we’re working on the new Neko ga Nishi Mukya chapter and hope to get that out soon. I’ve had a lot going on so I’ve had to take a bit less time on scanlating the past couple weeks. But hopefully I get through all that soon.

Ikoku Nikki Ch. 32

Wheeeeeew! We did it everybody! We’re finally caught up. It took a while, but after about a year and 7 months we got through this whole series up to the current chapter in Japan. So yeah, from here we’ll be trying to do them fairly close to when new chapters come out in the monthly magazine Feel Young. It comes out on the 7th or the 8th in Japan every month. Keep in mind, Ikoku Nikki doesn’t appear in every issue, it skips issues fairly frequently, but it’s usually there most of the time. And we’ll try to do volume versions down the line when volumes 7+ come out. Now I’m gonna try to get back to doing more Takeshi and stuff, which I’ve neglected a bit recently.
As for this chapter, it’s a fairly heavy chapter about toxic masculinity, so I hope you’re all up for that. Enjoy, everyone!

Aand we’re back from a month of hiatus with 101. Uh, volume 24 of JoJolion is out now, so we’re gonna try to do a HQ version of that in the near future. With everything going on right now a lot of stuff is in flux. Anyhow, we’re hoping to get that last Ikoku Nikki chapter out soon. And then more Takeshi and all that sorta good stuff. Plus there’s a new 3-Gatsu no Lion and Neko ga Nishi Mukya chapter coming up soon. So lots to look forward to.

Ikoku Nikki Ch. 31

Whew, ok. Here is our first magazine chapter of Ikoku Nikki, chapter 31. We’re finally almost caught up now. There’s only ONE chapter left, which is the one that just came out in this month’s issue of Feel Young. I’m like half way through translating that now, and I’m gonna try to get it all finished soon so this series is finally all caught up. There’s a chapter of Ikoku Nikki in next month’s Feel Young, too, and that comes out on November 8th. So the goal is gonna be to try to keep up and do magazine chapters as they come out, and then do volume versions down the line when the volumes come out. We’ve also got a new JoJolion, 3-Gatsu no Lion, Neko ga Nishi Mukya chapter coming out in Japan soon too, so look forward to all that.

JoJolion Volume 6

And here’s the next old Jojolion volume, #6.
Ok, whew. This one took a bit because of all the “Sesame Honey Cafe” signs and everything. But it’s all done! Here’s volume 6 in much better quality than before. As usual we went through to find all the minor changes between the magazine and the volumes and also I went through my translation from back in 2012 or whatever and spruced it up a bit. Just volumes 3, 4, and 5 to go. We’ll get those out as Bracketier has time to redo the typesetting. Then we’ll probably go back and redo the typesetting for volumes 1-2 as well (Though we already revised that and released volumes of it once, so those will be a much more minor change).
Enjoy everyone! The next new chapter comes out in Japan on the 17th this month so it’s not too far off.

Ikoku Nikki Ch. 30

Ok here we are at chapter 30. Volume 6 is now all done. And there’s only magazine chapters past here.
Specifically there’s only 1. But the next chapter comes out in Japan in the next issue of Feel Young which comes out tomorrow. So I don’t think we’re getting it out by then. But anyhow I’m partially through translating chapter 31 now. And I’ll see if we can get both 30 and 31 out in the near future. But either way we’re ALMOST there.
