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!

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.

Whew, here’s 28. This one’s fun. We’re closing in on the “being caught up” point now.

Also the next 3-Gatsu no Lion chapter is coming out in the next issue of Young Animal which comes out on the 25th in Japan. So we’ll bet trying to get it done around then, depending on folks’ schedules. A few people volunteered to help clean and typeset so we may be ok on that front, we’ll see how it goes.

3-Gatsu no Lion (March Comes in Like a Lion) 171

Ok, here we are finally with a new chapter of this.
Dascalon hasn’t responded to my messages in a while so I’ve mainly had to do this myself, with a couple people helping out. It’s going to be difficult for me to do this on top of everything else I have going on in my life so I’d appreciate anyone who can help out with cleaning and typesetting this series if we’re going to keep trying to do magazine scanlations of it. If you want to tryout you can email me at kewl0210@gmail.com. I’ve had some difficulties IRL lately which have made a lot of things more difficult, which I’m pretty down about. But I’m gonna keep trying to move forward.

Oh also there’s no 3-Gatsu no Lion in the next Young Animal. We again don’t know when the next chapter is, but given that a lot of issues were skipped in the last few months I’d imagine the next one may show up in not too long. Usually Umino-sensei gets through about one volume’s worth a year. Which comes to like 13-ish of these 10 page chapters and this is just the 5th one for what will eventually make up volume 16.

Seikimatsu Leader Den Takeshi! Ch. 45

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.

Ikoku Nikki Ch. 26.5

Ok so here’s the next thing. This chapter is like a mini-chapter for some reason. For those not aware this manga doesn’t appear in EVERY issue of Feel Young. Sometimes it goes on hiatus for an issue. To me this felt like a sort of “something” rather than a regular chapter to avoid missing the issue after Ikoku Nikki placed in the Kono Manga ga Sugoi!! award. Maybe? Maybe not, maybe I’m reading too much into things. This chapter came out in January 2020 in the magazine so we’re finally into chapters that came out the same year we’re working on them. I think. Ok well, that’s enough of that. Check it out.

Here we are, the big chapter 100. I hope you all enjoy. There’s no chapter next month, the next chapter is gonna come out in October.
I had a shitty last 24 hours or so. Sometimes we can get a raw early so we can work on it the night before, but we couldn’t this month. I spent all night trying to contact our regular source and looking for a backup and stressing out about it, and ultimately couldn’t. So then we had to all pull together and get this done during the work day, which some people couldn’t (The magazine, Ultra Jump, comes out midnight Japan time on release day, which is the 19th this month). So, me and the other people on staff have been trying to do it all while also working our job from home. A lot of people had to come together to do the little they could when they had time. It’s been a physically and mentally draining day. I’ve gotta get some more of my job-work done to make up for it and then I’m gonna go relax. We should hopefully get the volume version of volume 6 done fairly soon. Enjoy the chapter, ya’ll. Be kind to each other.

Edit: We reworded like a couple sentences in this due to typos or something I misread slightly. Shouldn’t change anything drastically.
