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.

Seikimatsu Leader Den Takeshi! Ch. 48

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!
Ok so, we got some people helping out so I think we may be ok generally speaking getting these done, hopefully. Though some chapters are way more difficult than others.
Uh, there’s no new chapter next issue (The October 9th issue). So the next 3-Gatsu no Lion chapter will be… sometime after that. So, until then!

Ikoku Nikki Ch. 29

29! Yeah!
Ok so the next chapter is the last chapter of volume 6. And as it turns out there was no chapter of Ikoku Nikki in this month’s Feel Young magazine which came out on September 8th, so 31 is the newest chapter out in Japan and will be until next issue which DOES have Ikoku Nikki in it. So it’s POSSIBLE we can catch up by then but we’ll see. Like I said I have a lot going on and I dunno if I’ll have space for two chapters in 2 and a half weeks. We’ll see how that goes, but either way, we’re almost caught up (finally).

Konjiki no Gash!! Kanzenban Extras

Posted on by

Ok, so here’s this. There’s a bit of a backstory on this. I originally worked on the 2nd half or so of the Konjiki no Gash!! manga back when I had first started scanlating/translating (I also worked on fansubbing the anime, which was how I got into fan translating in the first place. I started with timing the anime when I was around 15). Some of it was translated by other folks too I think. I added those to the downloads page if anyone wants to check them out, but the translations are probably phrased pretty badly given how I did them back when I had only just started.

Recently, Makoto Raiku, the author of the series, released kanzenbans (complete/collector’s editions) of the series with slightly better paper quality and resolution and with all the color pages and such restored. He released them digital-only at first and then physical versions which finished coming out around February of this year. For these kanzenbans he created these little 7-ish page long extras where a couple of the characters from the series talk at a cafe. So that’s what this is. I really loved this series growing up, so I thought it would be fun to do this. It ended up taking WAY longer than I expected though. It’s about 150 pages long in total. That includes the covers and back-covers that were newly-drawn for the kanzenbans. It’s pretty fun, but I recommend only reading them once you’ve read the rest of the series first. It adds some character and personality to a lot of the characters. (I should mention a lot of these characters have no real canonical or agreed-upon name romanizations so we basically just used what *seem right*. They’re not necessarily the ones we used before.)

Raiku-sensei also released a “special book” for those that bought all the kanzenbans. It mostly just contains the extra epilogue chapter in kanzenban form plus an interview and some pages that weren’t in the other kanzenbans. I got that too and we plan to scanlate it at some point. But we’ve only just started on that so it might take a while.

Uhh, so this took way longer than I thought (I didn’t realize how many pages it was in total when I set out to do it) but it’s all done. I hope you all check it out if you like this series. Enjoy!

Seikimatsu Leader Den Takeshi! Ch. 47

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.
