We made it to volume TWENTAAAAY!!! Woo! 15 to go. This volume’s got one of my favorite parts where Tanio really starts to feel menacing along with the audience getting a real feel for his overall plan.
It’s also the start of a big tournament that lasts a looooong time. So I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks so much to high8sky for her tireless placing of the PASHIH sound effects. There’s friggin’ thousands of them in this.

Whew! Ok this one’s done. This is a short one but a good one.
There’s no Jump next week for one of Jump’s usual weeks off. So next chapter will be week after next, around this time. See ya then.
I’m working on finishing up editing of The Book, and then it’ll finally be released! That’s gonna be great, I’ll be so happy to finally have that done. Just a bit more, almost there.

Seikimatsu Leader Den Takeshi! Ch. 11

Here’s chapter 11 of Takeshi! Here’s the intro I wrote about the series if you haven’t seen it yet.

Ok, with this chapter we finally finish the ~Proof of a Leader~ Arc! The first non-one-off chapter series of Takeshi.

We’ve actually finished all the chapters in Volume 1 now. Volume 1 actually ends at chapter 9. But the Wide-Bans, being wider sorta-deluxe versions, have more chapters in them. Wide-Ban 1 has 17 chapters in it. My plan at the moment is at the end we’ll release it as one big zip to download and I’ll also include the extra pages from volume 1-2 and the color pages I’ve managed to find for that. (We would’ve had the color pages in chapter 1 but we didn’t have good quality versions at the time, which we’ve managed to track down since).

I’m working hard on finishing editing the Jojo novel The Book at the moment (It’s about 100,000 words I’m checking through, making sure it has no translation errors, typos, and all sounds as well phrased as possible). But after that I hope to get more of this done pretty soon. My goal is to get them done around weekly. It’s a bit too hectic for me to do that at the moment though, given how wordy most of the chapters are.

JoJolion 66 (Version 2) and JoJolion 67

This chapter’s fairly short, only 34 pages long. Likely because Araki-sensei is doing a Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan one-shot in Bessatsu Margaret next month, an issue which comes out on the 13th.

Though he’s not taking a break or anything like he did last time he did a Rohan one-shot. So we’ll see you next month.

We’re gonna try MAYBE to do more volume scanlations of older volumes of JoJolion, we’ll see if that works out. WE haven’t done more than the 2 we did a while ago because of lack of cleaners. Usually it’s all the JoJolion team can do to get the new chapter and the higher-quality magazine version of the chapter done every month. I’m also FINALLY almost done with The Book, the Part 4 novel. We’re working on editing it and hope to get that out within a few weeks.

Prince of Laughter Penpenpen (One-Shot by Shimabukuro Mitsutoshi) and Seikimatsu Leader Den Takeshi! 10

Ok, at last, this one’s done. Goddamn this took a while.
Sp for those that don’t know, this is a one-shot by Shimabukuro Mitsutoshi (author of Toriko and Takeshi) that he published in the kids/kodomo manga magazine Saikyou Jump back in April. They don’t have a digital magazine or anyone that scans it so I had to seek out the magazine and scan it at the time and it’s been a project on my backlog for a while now (This actually came out like a week before Chingiri but that one was easier so I did it first). Largely because it’s a 30-page gag manga, and gag manga are known for having lots of text and lots of jokes on each page. Meaning it’s pretty translation heavy and time consuming. Then Joeabandonedmine was hard at work cleaning and typesetting it, which is a pretty lengthy task on its own.

Anyhow, at first I thought it was kinda dumb, and it is aimed towards kids, but it actually makes good use of Shimabukuro-sensei’s sense of humor. And it’s pretty interesting what he did with a simple premise. Check it out.

Also we’ve got the next chapter of Takeshi all done! It’s a good one. Really emotional and it’s starting up a lot of what makes the series really good. I’m hoping we can keep up a good pace with this series and keep getting it out. This is the 2nd to last chapter of the “Proof of a Leader Arc”. I’ll be working on getting the next one done sometime soon.

We’ve got a lot of other stuff going. The Book is being edited now, we’re working on the new JoJolion, and apparently Shimabukuro-sensei did a 15-page one shot about his memories with Oda-sensei (of One Piece) in this week’s Jump, which we may work on maybe. The next Innocent volume comes out in late August and the next 3-Gatsu no Lion volume comes out in October. So there’s a lot going on, and I really wanna get some of this stuff done while I’ve got time so I don’t get overwhelmed later. Hopefully when all this stuff’s done we can work on a new series, as there’s a few I’ve wanted to do for a while.

Seikimatsu Leader Den Takeshi! Ch. 9

Here’s chapter 9 of Takeshi! Here’s the intro I wrote about the series if you haven’t seen it yet.

(If anyone’s wondering, there’s almost no fanart of this series because it was popular before Pixiv existed. It ended in 2005. And most fanart I can find is mostly filled with characters that haven’t appeared yet and I don’t want to post spoilers.)

Ok, so now finally we get the introduction of Bonchuu! He’s here and he’s definitely not Toriko.

Sorry it’s taken so long to get this up. I mentioned it in other posts but I’ve been focusing all my extra time and energy on getting The Book done, which is a long put-off and long delayed project. I finally finished translating it and it’s now being edited. I’m hoping we get it 100% done and released soon. With that major project done I’ll have time to get Takeshi chapters done more frequently. My goal is to get ~1 a week done but we’ll see how that turns out.
