93! This one’s fairly quick but there’s a lot going on.

Sorry there haven’t been a lot of releases as of late. I’ve had a lot of IRL stuff going on and it’s made getting releases done difficult. But that’s finally starting to settle down, hopefully. I’ve been focusing on getting Innocent V11 translated and Bracketier is cleaning it. I’ve got about one chapter of that left to translate, and I’ve translated a bunch more Ikoku Nikki chapters that need to get cleaned and typeset. I’ll be trying to get more Takeshi done soon too, and hopefully start getting them out a bit more regularly.

Also Volume 22 of JoJolion is out now. So we’ll try to get to that soon. I’m trying to sort of get the remaining 6 old volumes scanned so we can collectively slowly chip away at all the work that needs to be done for them a little at a time as time permits apart from that other stuff. Plus Bracketier and MistaL and the others all have a bunch of other projects they work on and they’re working on those JJL volumes when they can.

Ikoku Nikki Ch. 11

Hey, here we are at the beginning of volume 3!
Again, apologies for these taking so long. We’ve had a lot going on IRL and these chapters take a lot of effort.
Volume 5 of Ikoku Nikki has a release date in Japan for December 7th. That should have chapters 21-25 in it.
This series doesn’t have a chapter in Feel Young every issue (Which is a monthly magazine, for those that don’t know), so we are catching up despite not getting these out too fast. I’ve got the next few chapters translated in advance, too.

Also Innocent Volume 11 is out in Japan now. I’m working on translating it right now. We’re gonna try to get that done in the near future as well. Also in case you didn’t hear, volume 12 is going to be the final volume of Innocent, an that’s scheduled to come out in February 2020. So plenty of stuff going on.

Here we are, chapter 92! Some big stuff in this chapter.
I should mention that in this chapter there’s a place where “Rokakaka” is romanized differently than we’ve been doing it. So we’re going to use that romanization in that context (It’s a specific proper name there), for now, but use “Rokakaka” everywhere else. Even the Italian and French versions have been using Rokakaka, so I feel like that’s more or less how it’s expected to be read (In katakana as ロカカカ for Japanese speakers), and this is a specific context where it’s stylized differently. Also it’s been like that for 5 years without an “official” romanization. But if you’d rather just call it by the romanization this chapter has, that’s fine with me too.

Hey, so here’s chapter 10. With this, we finished off volume 2. I really liked this chapter, it’s got some interesting insight into the psychology of some of the characters.
I’ve got a couple more translated and we’re hoping to have those chapters finished soon if we can.

It’s a double release this time! I managed to secure a small window of free time to rush out these two chapters. Right now we don’t know when the next chapter will come out so see you some time in the near future. Also, the 15th volume will come out on the 26th of December this year, please do support the author if you can and buy the volume when it comes out.

Gintama Volume 77 (End)

Ok, well finally, this is done.
Sorry this kinda took a while but it’s like 360 pages long, took a while to clean, redrawn, get the typesetting moved over, all that stuff.

Uh so I’ve pretty much said everything I had to say back when we released the final chapter originally.

The short version who don’t want to read all that is: We’ve done the series from V33 to the end. It would be nice to do volume versions for volumes 46-72, but it’s just not worth it to me given the time it would take. Same for doing volumes 25-32, which were done by other groups but for the most part aren’t done at very good quality (And Viz’s official versions exist for the rest, which are all good quality). For those earlier ones, while there are fewer of them, each one would take a lot longer because I’d need to translate them too. I kinda wanna move on to other projects, so these last V33-35 and V73-77 have been my send off for the series.

Though if someone wants to volunteer to do any of that, feel free to email me at kewl0210@gmail.com and we could try to work it out, but I’d only be a minimal participant.

The volume is pretty much the same as the magazine, but the quality is better. A handful of panels in the last chapter changed I think to clarify what was going on with the fake reality created by Tamako. I also put all the extras, color pages, and apologies in from the magazines and that one note for the final delay they posted on Twitter. Plus the extras Sorachi added just for the volume about his horrible experience ending the series.

Also here’s a fun tweet of a mosaic-ed Sorachi being lifted up by all his editors from the run of the series. I can’t really put that in the release since it’s a video but it’s pretty cool so I thought I’d stick it here if anyone didn’t see it at the time it was posted.

And if you haven’t seen it yet, check out the end of the fanbook we translated, which contains some post-series-end interviews and stuff.

Uh, so this series is great. But now it’s all done. I hope everyone enjoyed it. Spread it out there to all those that haven’t read it yet. And check out some of the other series we’re doing! I try to find good stuff. This series changed my life for the better, and I hope it affected all yours for the better, too.
