Woo, these are done! For some reason these ended up getting finished at the same time.
So we’re caught up on new volumes again and we have one more of the older volumes out. We still need to do 3 and 4, which we’ll get to when we’ll get done once the typesetter has time to redo the typesetting on those volumes. Then we’re gonna redo the typesetting on volumes 1-2, though we already did volume scanlations of those, so it’ll only be the text that’s different. And volume 26 is planned to go on sale in early summer.

As usual, these have all the changes made between the magazines and volumes in them, which is just a couple lines usually. And for volume 5 I went back and double-checked everything and fixed a couple small mistakes and tried to make any other improvements in the translation where I could.
Enjoy, everyone!

3-Gatsu no Lion (March Comes in Like a Lion) 179

179… This is chapter 179… and don’t anybody forget it.
I’m exhausted from lack of sleep so… I hope you’re all having a good Friday. This was a pretty good chapter, which I worked really hard on translating, so I hope you like it and all its vague metaphors and cooking recipes. There’s no 3-Gatsu chapter in the next issue of Young Animal, so the next chapter will be sometime… in the future after that. So like maybe around a month from now.
Uh, as for everything else, I’m waiting on Joe to typeset more Takeshi, JoJolion v25 and v5 are in final checks, and I got Ikoku Nikki v7 which I’m gonna try to scan this weekend. I ordered Neko ga Nishi Mukya v3 which came out on the 22nd, so I’m gonna scan THAT one once I get it. So like just a ton of volumes being done all at once. And basically in all my spare time I’m trying to translate more Takeshi, as I’m now closing in on the half-way point at least.
I hope you enjoy, everyone! Have a happy March, which may or may not come in like a lion.

Okay ya’ll, *this* is it! THIIIIIS is it. This is what you’ve really all been waiting for, this is Tony’s backstory!!! Which is real kind of the real climax of the Mummy arc when you think about it!!!! And we are now officially done with the Mummy ARCCCCCC!!! Yes.
Also we’re now finally into Wide-Ban 5. Anyway these chapters are some of the greatest stuff in the series so I hope you really like them. Me and Joe are gonna keep chugging on, trying to make progress on this series whenever we’ve got time.

We’ve got 168 chapters to go. Translation-wise, the last one I finished was chapter 103, which is towards the end of the Moby arc now.

I wrote up a thing of all the remaining major arcs and how long they are and where they are in the story here if you wanna check that out.

It’s not the end of the arc, it still goes on for a while, but I think you could call this part the climax, maybe? Anyhow, I won’t say any more, go check it out. (I should mention we’ve got this many chapters at once because these chapters are low in text so they’re generally easier to typeset. Also because Joe worked really hard on them.)

We’ve got 173 chapters to go. And 9 wide-bans to go. In terms of translating, I just finished wide-ban 5 the other day, and the last one I finished is 96, which is actually at the beginning of the next major arc, the Moby Arc. So I’m making good progress but that was largely because I’ve been pretty free this week.

Okay, here’s these! We’ve got 179 chapters to go. We’re really in the thick of things now. I really love this part, I hope ya’ll check it out. Up next we finally start learning about Tony. Translation-wise I just finished 93, which is the last chapter of wide-ban 5. So that’s moving right along. I’ve got some free time at the moment so I’m basically trying to translate as much of this as I can, because you can bet at some point in not too long I’ll have less free time. And in an ideal world I’d like to actually finish this project this year.

JoJolion 104

Here ya go, ya’ll! 104!
The little comment Araki-sensei wrote in the table of contents for this issue of Ultra Jump said:
“Happy new year. I’m praying that Corona ends. JoJolion is at the final stage, too.”
So JoJolion may be ending soon. Though has said this before and he generally says that he doesn’t plan the story out long-term and writes it chapter to chapter, so it’s hard to take a comment like that and say “This is how many more chapters the series has”. Though Part 8 is now longer than all the other parts, and they do seem to be in the endgame, so it’s probably getting there.
We’re still working on volume 25 and fixing up the typesetting for volumes 1-5, so hopefully those get done in not too long.
