End of Service Announcement

Hi there. For those of you still following anything I do, I'm sure you've noticed the complete lack of activity these past months. Well, there's a reason for that. My personal life has simply overwhelmed almost all my free time and it has just taken away any motivation I previously had for scanlation. Yes, life is good. Too good in fact. I could go into it as it began in October last year and quickly developed, but maybe another time. However, this means I don't have time to work on any series that I used to last year such as Devilman Saga and Kyochuu Rettou. Simply put, I've abandoned them and it's probably for good. I've just moved on from this stage in life and I know there was people reading them, but it honestly can't be helped. I'm sorry to disappoint because I know it's very unlikely anyone else will pick them up. That said, I did appreciate those who did follow and read no matter how few as it helped me keep going over the years. I'd like to thank all of you. But now, I must bid you all farewell. FYI, I'm still active, just not in scanlation or anime in general so I'm still around. Stay safe out there, people.

Go Nagai Complete English Scanlation Collection v1

Okay, this is 99% of Nagai's translated works as some are in-progress and a few I still have to download. Other than that, I can't seed the torrent of this all the time on my own so that's why I uploaded it all to MEGA and that's why I'm asking to community to keep this torrent alive and any other updated versions I put out in future. Please download through MEGA and help seed even if it's not much. It took me a while to download all of this and put it together so I hope you appreciate it.

Other than that, enjoy Uncle Go's manga and spread the word. Thanks.

Terra Formars Gaiden: Rain Hard Volume 1

I didn't realize that I never compiled this into a volume release, so I did that today. Also, I made a compressed version (which is also the torrent version). In any case, enjoy.

Terra ForMars: Dropped (Again)

Okay, I'll just get right down to it. I'm dropping the main series indefinitely and this time I mean it. I don't like where the story is going, and I'm just sick and tired to be honest. I've been working on the series for far too long and I need to distance myself from it or else I'll find myself working on it until the day I die. Because I honestly doubt it'll end anytime soon, and I don't want to be working on this another year. Besides, I've done more than enough. Even more so seeing how I've also did Rain Hard, a few one-shot magazine chapters and currently the Asimov spinoff which is more than you guys deserve. That, and I want to move on past this series and onto something else for a change without having to come back to it a week later.

Now, with that said, I really do appreciate all the support and messages I've received over my time working on Terra ForMars, I really do. Thank you all for that. However, there's a time when one needs to know when to stop and that time is now. I'm sorry if this may upset people as it will leave the series dead in the water, but please be proactive on this and actually search for a group to pick up the series. It's not my responsibility anymore. In fact, it was never my responsibility. Scanlators don't have a responsibility to anyone or anything. They do what they want when they want, and that's that. The only one they have to answer to is themselves. Nothing more.

Anyhow, I've really got nothing else to say than the 2nd and final Asimov volume comes out at the end of August, so I'll wait 'till that comes out and then finish the side story. I'm not interested in shitty magazine scans or sub-par digital ones, so you'll have to wait. Not that much people even care or are interested from what I've seen, anyhow. Anyway, that's me for the main series for good. No more. Ever. Bye-bye!

Coming Schedule

Ah, yes. What are the things that I have planned after my temporary dropping of Terra ForMars may you ask? Well, first off pic unrelated. However, I would just like to mention that it was a bit sad to see that nobody picked up Infection because as it may not look like the greatest thing ever made, it still does look pretty decent and I'm sure that with translations we'll be able to further judge that for ourselves. And, that's why I'll get another chapter out sooner or later and since I said I would in the 4chan thread not too long ago, but there are some things that take priority. Now, I'll just create a list in order of how I plan to go about things for the coming weeks.

• Higurashi: Usomabushi-hen - Part 2
• Kyochuu Rettou: Chapter 12 - Part 1
• Neo Devilman: Volume 3 - Chapter 7
• Terra ForMars: Chapter 175
• Infection: Chapter 5
• Neo Devilman: Volume 2 - Chapter 3
• Terra ForMars: Chapter 176
• ???

What comes after that? Hmm, I'm unsure at the moment but I might hit up something Go Nagai because I've honestly focused too much on the Terra ForMars series and not on others. However, depending or not if Hokuto no Gun start on Violence Jack again I may do that or finish off the rest of Great Mazinger. Other than that, not thinking about much at the moment. However, you are free to suggest something in the comments section if you like. See ya!

P.S - This schedule is not definite. Things may change priority.

Terra Formars Gaiden: Rain Hard Chapter 5 English Translation

Wham bam, thank you mam. I'm going wham bam, thank you mam. I'm going wham bam, thank you mam. I'm a true believer, that goes for what I see, and one little flower is not enough for a bee. Going wham bam, thank you mam. Oh, sorry. Anyway, finally we have come to the end of Rain Hard. It was a great ride and I'm glad to be done with it. It was a nice and short little insight into Adolf's past.

That said, there isn't much I'd like to say other than they were a few odd lines as you'll see yourself, there was a good bit of redraw that took a while to do (last page being one), the "pint" part is deliberate (the kanji used was just for a glass so yeah pint) and that I'm getting ready for a wham bam. Other than that, I would like to thank all of you guys who have been with me this far. I really appreciate it. Thanks a bunch. Enjoy the final chapter!

Terra Formars Gaiden: Rain Hard Chapter 4 English Translation

I’ve been lucky in my life, I’ve been lucky, I’ve been lucky in my life, I know I’ve been lucky in my life, I’ve been lucky and I thank you for this light, oh good Lord! Oh, sorry. Yes, I managed to get another chapter of Rain Hard our before Christmas as a little present. Now we're 4/5 way through so it'll be good to have it finally done hopefully by the end of the year or early next depending on how things go. 

Anyway, not much to say for this chapter's post other than I got banned from 4chan again (fucking reddit mods) so hopefully kind Anon-kun can dump this chapter, and that I got a warning on Batoto (oh, scary) because of the blurred porn that I've been using at the end of chapters. That, and they removed them so I had to reupload 'em with a jolly message for the credits page instead. Anyway, all said and done, hope you enjoy the chapter and have a Merry Christmas! Not that I actually care about this holiday, but whatever! Bye!!!!! I’ve been lucky in my life! I’ve been lucky in my life! I’ve been lucky and I thank you for this light, oh good Lord!

Terra Formars Gaiden: Rain Hard Chapter 3 English Translation

Gotta stop playing Medieval Total War so much. Seriously causing me to lag behind in this stuff. Anyway, good to get this chapter out. That's us 3/5 for Rain Hard now so it shouldn't be long until it's fully done. Yippee! Then I can move on to other things! And about those other things, I'll be doing a post about that shortly so you guys can know what's up. For one, I'll hopefully have finished Evangelion Girlfriend of Steel Special Edition by this weekend so that'll also free up a shit ton of time to work on other things. It's a visual novel and they take long (an understatement) to translate so it'll be a huge weight off my back. Lastly, there were a few lines that I could difficult so I ran them by a friend, but they're still kinda awkward. Other than that, hope you enjoy the chapter and that special something for the credits page. See ya!

P.S. - For those who read there, I would post a 4chan topic for the chapter, but I've been banned there for several days due to barbie posting so enjoy this vid in the meantime. Dr. Jones signing off!

Update

Seems that a good anon posted the chapter for me. Yippee! You can view it on the archive here.

Terra Formars Gaiden: Rain Hard Chapter 2 English Translation

Okay, to be brief, I don't want to partner with those other guys on this anymore. They're taking way too long (cleaning and redraw mostly) and they're asking me to deliver translation and typesetting to them, not them just giving me the clean and then putting it out. Understandable, but that's not how I want to run things. I do everything on my own for the most part, and I do not want to be held hostage like that. The translation and typesetting are the two biggest things that go into scanlation and no way in hell am I giving that to people I don't even trust. Then again, that works both ways so I kinda understand why they wouldn't just send me the clean. But! They were looking to put out their own TL alongside mine and I presume it would have something to do with mine being giving to them first. See what I mean? There's no real assurance what'll happen and I know that's just me being pessimistic, but I'd rather not risk something like that.

Anyhow, now that I got that out of the way, let's talk about Rain Hard. Now, there's isn't really much to say other than a few lines were awkward to translate, and I even ran 'em by a friend just to be sure. And, since I'll be working by myself on RH, you won't have to wait a month plus for the next chapter. Yay! And, I translated Rosa's "Ado-kun" to Ado dear" since just Ado seems a bit awkward. Also, just wondering but is there any interest in me doing that Asimov spin-off by Boichi? It's looks odd, but it might be at least entertaining. All said and done, hope people won't get too triggered by the credits page. Hee hee hee. Umm, bye!

P.S. - I still used the transcribe they gave me for this chapter. Also, some JP was missing so I had to do those small parts myself, FYI. That's why I get a little credit for that, too.

Update
Oops. Left a box blank on page 23. Silly me. Fixed now.

Terra Formars Manga Chapter 151 English Translation

Yup. Got it done. Now, I just want to let you guys all know that I may or may not be continuing depending if I get some help or not. That is to say, it is very taxing on myself, not to mention depressing doing it all by myself so this time round I'd like some help. I've already posted a topic on batoto and mangahelpers, and I got a cleaner who contacted me by email, but he's not the best and I had to run filters to fix up what he sent me.

That said, on to translation stuff. Now, Mangastream got everything down pretty well across the board, and while there were some fumbles here and there, it's probably just adapting certain lines and stuff like that. However, there were a few eyebrow raising things. First, the first line on page 2. It doesn't say "who sent it", but rather "It's where?". As if, they didn't expect the ship to be at Mars, hence the line. That, and anybody who can check an online dictionary can tell you that. What happened there?

Anyhow, they also got the roaches "johji" wrong, they had just "Joh" which was wrong. Did they even look at the line? Seriously, some people. And lastly, "The Design Republic"....... what? Back up, back up, back up, back the fuck up! Okay. Let me get this straight. Here is the JP for that line "デザ共和国"!  Now put that into google translate, and see what you get. But! Hold up. Read it phonetically. What does it say? Hmm. I can't hear you. Speak a little louder. It's fucking Deza! Not fucking "Design"! Moreover, you even see Japanese products with Deza on 'em when you google the fucking characters! Gah! Just guess how they got "Design"? Just guess. Ugh. Anyhow, "if" it was "デザイン", then yes, it would be design, but that's not the given letters. Anyway, their TL is fine for the most part but they seriously need to check things over.

All said and done, you'll see for yourself how some lines are worded very differently so I say judge for yourself. They're mainly how one can take the same line very differently, and what being more literal is like. Other than that, let's wait and see if anyone lends a hand, I'll see you next time, and you can find the links below. Bye!

P.S. - Left out the ads at the end. Don't care much for them. Also, I'm not a good redrawer so that's why some pages have bad redraw on 'em. I mainly clone brush and try to cover it up, so I'm not very skilled. Poor me.

Update
Actually, the Deza thing was Design since it was an abbreviation of Dezain which means Design. Though I searched the internet and the online dictionaries beforehand and it didn't say that it was an abbreviation of it. Hence, why I left it Deza. Anyhow, doesn't really matter. I doubt I'll get any help to continue the series past this point.

Terra Formars: Mangastream and Imperial Scans

Figured one of those ad revenue redirect sites would pick up Terra Formars knowing that IS did the same probably for the same reason. Anyhow, it is odd because even I noticed (and a few on 4chan) that near enough everything with MS when compared to IS releases of Terra Formars are the same. Typesetting, scans, various names on the credits page and much much more. For one, seems like they more or less merged with Mangastream to form an even bigger group and wow oh wow just look at the many names on that credits page. Sheesh. They must really want that ad revenue.

Now, from that and from what I've gathered on the net it seems that IS didn't exactly disband, but rather just go somewhere else than the retiring due to life and such like the message on their site detailed. However, that probably just applied to the sites main lead than the whole group, but they really should have been more forward and direct as to what was happening with themselves and the series and be more open and transparent. I mean, it's just eyebrow raising. We all know it's about those Chinese raw providers in Japan who got arrested and all the backlash that been happening recently. There's no shame in acknowledging that much.

Anyway, MS picking up the series won't deter me from working on the series. In fact, due to them keeping it available only on their site (even if it is reuploaded elsewhere) works more in my favour because it won't be available to everyone else and not everyone will go to their site to read the series seeing how most people read it off the various major read online sites at their own leisure. That, and a few other reasons but there's no need to list them all. All in all, it's good to be back on the series. Can't wait to see the reaction to my next credits page. Heads will roll! Ah ha ha ha ha!!

Terra Formars Update - Imperial Scans is Kill

Yes. You heard it right. Imperial Scans is dead and most of their projects have been dropped, including Terra Formars. Too bad. They were putting it out at a pretty good pace, we almost caught up to the raws and then this happens. Yikes! Anyhow, I know the question you are all asking, even got my own reddit thread, and the answer is yes. I'm not really doing much at the moment and none of it is that pressing. Still waiting on Rain Hard, just finished CH 4 of Kyochuu Rettou the other day and my work on GOSSE is more or less whenever I have time. However, it seems that the Chinese (where I sourced my scans) haven't gotten past 150 yet, so somebody's gonna have to clean the raws for me because I have no clue on how to do that. Tried, and failed miserably, and even if I knew how I'd prefer someone who has more knowledge to do it. Other than that, Jurassic Park should be back online soon enough. What do you guys think?

Terra Formars Volume 14 Compile English Translation

Well, it's finally here. Had to go through all the chapters again to check things over, fix my typesetting, some TL things, and a bunch of mistakes that I made. Now, to make things simple let me just go through volume 14 chapter by chapter. However, I'll just mention off the bat that I added little ◆ before the title and end text or whatever the fuck you call it of each chapter, a chapter number in the circle box at the end, example: CH 130, the Terra Formars title whenever it appears, and I fixed some of the next chapter text. Anyhow, moving on.

Chapter 130

Nothing major for the most part save for my blunder on page 8 about who knows about the BUGS 1 wreckage, page 12-13 about the "military fire department" since it was actually a "military and fire department", and the text boxes around it. I have a habit of attempting to translate the text piece by piece and not realising they're part of one flowing sentence. Stupid me. Other that the above, nothing else, really.

Chapter 131
Nothing much. Page 12-13, the chick with glasses recommending an evacuation. I messed up before and took the line too literal before like a dumbass.

Chapter 132
Page 2, the title page. Fixed the "hating humans like a cockroach" line to "in the same way as humans hate cockroaches". How did I mess up? Well, sometimes I translate and don't even read over what I've done to see if it makes sense. Laziness on my part.

Chapter 133
Added a little "you know" to Kai's end line on page 4. Fixed up some of the text in the situation briefing. The "cryopreservation" part on page 10. Michelle's first kiss line. Let me explain. She simply says "first kiss wayo" and the wayo part is merely an emphasis, but that can be translated like a bazillion different ways so first I had "you know" which was stupid since she's happy and it's more like she enjoyed it, so "my first kiss was good", I guess. I'm still confused. Moving on. And a bunch of ateji fixing here and there. Example, the JP characters say "he/her" but above that it in a smaller font it says "first/second". It's an odd thing, really. But the above is "always" what it's meant to say. If that's the case, why don't they just put the above below? Japan's weird.

Chapters 134
Page 9, the "you tell them" to "you tell him". A very minor change, but sometimes I translate the raw text without context or checking out the actual images. Something else I need to stop doing. Anyhow, other than that, I don't think there was any other changes. Hmm.

Chapter 135
Page 4 with Alex, the ateji was "throwing", so I fixed the relevant lines. Some of the text on page 11. Again, my habit of translating lines when they can/go over more than one text box. A few more ateji things here and there, example page 11 "him" to "second". The ending text for page 18. And I have no clue how I forgot to include the "He came" part last time. I did translate that part, but I probably just forgot. Lastly, the "Northern Blazing Asimov". That was an ateji thing as the Northern Blazing part was Sylvester. And that was it.

Chapter 136
Right off the bat I fixed up the title page using the volume raw. Looks much better than the fugly version from before. Reason for that was my poor redraw skills, and the fact that I couldn't even tell what the hell was meant to go there. Anyhow, moving on. Also on the front page I fixed the text; I misrecognized a JP character due to the fugly magazine raws before, but managed to figure it out when I checked it over, and changed "Ares" to "God of War" for consistency seeing how I used the latter in later chapters. Lastly is a very minor edit to Michelle's dialogue on page 11, and that was it, I think.

Note: "Ant Mushroom" is a translation of "Aritake" which is what is used. "Ari means ant" and "take means mushroom". Now, I originally checked that over with a Japanese guy I know and that why I have Ant Mushroom. Then again, I never saw that it meant cordyceps on any online dictionary since it didn't even have an entry. Weird.

Chapter 137
A major mistake I made on this chapter was Bao's M.O. Operation. It doesn't appear on the online dictionaries but I remember searching the net and coming up with shit. Though, I searched it when I went over this chapter and it was right there. Hmm. Stupid me. Anyhow, I'll fill in the rest tomorrow. Again. Tired, and I have to get up early for work in the morning. Meh.

P.S. - Yes, this is my magazine releases crammed into a volume with the extra pages and such translated. Don't blame me, though. It's a lot of work for one person to tackle a volume. Especially when the share raws on the net are complete shit. Anyhow, I did my best so I hope you are all pleased.

Terra Formars Gaiden: Rain Hard Chapter 1 English Translation

Yup. It's finally here. Terra Formars Rain Hard. Now, art aside, Rain Hard is actually pretty good. The dialogue is nice and the story overall gives us a better look at Adolf and his character, and the situation of the Earth inverse, i.e. B.M.A. I like it. Anyway, I won't hold you too long so I'll just mention a few things and you can be on your way. Now, there were a few odd translation hiccups and funky sounding sentences, so I had to adapt at a few parts. But, it wasn't anything major so there's nothing to worry about. Also, I didn't bother to translate the SFX. Kinda lazy. Though most of it is self-explanatory. I might TL 'em when I come to compile the volume, but that's a might. Again, LAZY! Anyway, the JP on page 30 took up a lot of room and the English text didn't fit right to cover for it, so Adolf on that page ended up with no mouth. Furthermore, at the end, it just said "I met Heinrich", but that sounded awkward as fuck so I added in a "then", FYI. And, lastly, gotta love that credits page! Ah ha ha ha ha ha!! See you next time!!!

Batoto Goes Private

Recently, it seems that Batoto has decided among other things to go private to prevent leacher sites from taking and mirroring their content. Now, a good bunch of people are really pissed off at this but I myself don't see the problem. Just get yourself an account and you'll be sorted for the rest of your browsing history on the site. Nuff said. It's just like exhentai/sadpanda, just get yourself an account and everything will be fine. 

However, I do understand why people would be pissed at this sort of event seeing how the appeal of read online sites are their ease of access. So, most people will probably just use a different site than Batoto to get their manga fix. Meaning the sites they directly oppose. Because they "will" get their content one way or another. Either directly from scanlator homepages, or simply copying and pasting their images. Also, many people see logins as a major bother and would rather wait, so there's that to consider as well. So, in reality, while this may be an annoyance/deterrence to sites like mangafox and mangapark, they'll eventually work around it through other means.

Anyhow, I'm not bothered by this event so it doesn't exactly affect me seeing how firstly, I myself don't mind logging in and secondly, I upload to not just Batoto. I'll still be uploading to the site, and using it. Though, FYI, just for the record, I do upload directly to mangafox to get stuff out there since I'm more about ease of access (PDF reader accessible by anyone for example) to get as many people to read it as possible, and stuff like that. All said and done, anyone who comes on here got any anything to add or want to make a comment on what's happening with Batoto? Go right ahead. If not, see you next time. Bye!

P.S. - You can read the post about it on Batoto itself here.

Terra Formars: Dropped

I was thinking about continuing the series and I did that quite frequently lately, but I don't' think there's a point in doing that anymore. However, I had to at least finish the volume so 140 will be my last Terra Formars chapter 'side from my magazine releases compiled into volumes which I'll be doing in the coming weeks. That said, I'm not too upset about the fact that Imperial has picked up the series. For one, they'll actually be catching up to the raws which is something to look forward to. And second, it was pressing for me to work on a Terra Formars chapter every week since there was a deadline of sorts that I had to commit to, and the fact that I was doing it all on my own for the most part. So, stopping work on the series will in turn take a lot of that pressure off my back, and give me time and effort that I can spend elsewhere. I.E. Kyochuu Rettou.

Anyway, for the record, I don't hold any ill feelings toward Imperial about this. Yeah, I don't like what happened, but that doesn't mean I hate them. That aside, I do not like the way they're handling the series. They got a few things wrong in 140, and lord knows if they made mistakes like that in 141, and future chapters that they will translate. Though, I guess you could say that they might fix them in the future or it's because they're doing them so fast, but I'm still a tad bit pessimistic about it all. Meh.

Now that I got that out of the way, I'm unsure but I might start translating Rain Hard. Again, unsure, but it is a possibility. What do you guys think? All said and done, I just want to thank all of you guys who have been following me thus far. I really appreciate the comments that I've been getting, so it meant a lot to me. Thank you all, and I'll be seeing you again elsewhere in another series. Bye!

Update - 8th October
Actually, I forgot to cover the other language groups. Okay, the main Spanish group Ouroboros, or their leader just said, "okay". Yeah, an appropriate response for us working together for many months on end this entire year, right? Meh. The second Spanish group (Fansub YamiDrk) who directly translates mine into Spanish was very sad since he thinks mine to be a better quality and more reliable translation than Imperial's. And lastly, the Brazilian group (O Nekomata) said that they understand, and that they thank me for all the help that I gave them, and that they are very grateful. Anyway, I recommended to the second Spanish group and to the Brazilian group that if they're interested in continuing to contact Imperial and see if they'll allow them to work together. If they did or not, and if Imperial has or will let them, well, that's not really any of my business.

Terra Formars Manga Chapter 140 English Translation

Sorry for the delay. I just wanted to get the first Kyochuu Rettou out first. Seems that people liked it. Anyhow, since Imperial has already got started with Terra Formars and even pumped out 141, that means I just can sit back and point out all their mistakes in the meantime. Hee hee. A bastard, ain't I? That said, overall their translation is good and passable, but there are glaring mistakes here and there (not that I don't make some myself). Let's get started, shall we? Though I won't be pointing out every single issue as that would take all day, FYI.

First off, they seem have got missed or ignored a bunch of sentence particles like "ka" and "ne" among other things. The former indicating a question and the latter indicating sentence emphasis like, "right" and "don't you". Second, Marcos doesn't say "you guys" but "Ladies", which shows that either Imperial choose to adapt that line or just didn't understand what it meant. Third, they even got Anastasia's nickname wrong. What Sergei says can be translated to either Nastja or Nastya, not Nascha. Even more so, it doesn't even appear as a Russian name when Googled, but you know what, both Nastja and Nastya do. What happened there? Fourth, Sergei calls both Marcos and Keiji by their rank number, not their name. How did they go wrong there? Sheesh. Fifth, Michelle's and Akari's dialogue on page 13 is out of whack, and done wrong for the most part.

And the same goes for parts elsewhere in this chapter but detailing every single one would take too long and I'm not that big of an asshole to do so. Compare both versions of this chapter and notice the differences yourself. Well, I'll mention one more thing. On pages 16-17, Imperial had, "this reliability is amazing" even though there is no character for amazing in that line. They just added that. Because as a matter of fact, it simply says "this hopefulness (or reliability and the few other things it can translate to) is..." and that's that because it continues onto the next page with "when we unite in such a form". See what I mean?

Anyway, all said and done, we are both translating from the same text so you're bound to see some similar or same lines here and there. Though I did try a play on words for some of them. And just for the record, I hold no ill intent toward Imperial or anything like that. Hope you enjoy the chapter, and I'll see you next time. Bye!

P.S. - Ran out of credits pages. How sad. Back to the usual, I guess. Also, this was the end of volume 14, so I'll be compiling my chapters as well as my previous one's (vols 12 & 13) for a volume archive release. Lastly, while pages 16-17 were not a double page (check RAW), they do look better joined so I went ahead and did the same, FYI.

Update
Actually, I've been really thinking and I've decided to drop the series. I'll make a post about it tomorrow, and what the future will hold. Sorry, guys.

Update 2 - 8th October
I was actually wrong about that now crossed out part. It was ateji related which is something I have trouble understanding so in turn I actually made a mistake. Anyway, it said #9 below and in small print above, their name. It's an odd thing, really. If they want to say his name, then why don't they just put it there instead of this mumbo jumbo? Also, I added a little more info to the main post about Imperial's mistakes.

Note
Links updated to the chapter version of the volume release.

Terra Formars: Recent Developments

Well fuck me sideways. Seems that another group has started scanlating Terra Formars. And oh my god why is EVERY PAGE watermarked!? That aside, this totally came out of nowhere and they didn't even mention WHY  they started translating this series, and yes, I checked. I mean, is it fame? ATTENTION? Money??? Meh. I'm not too pissed or annoyed at this, but the fact of the matter is, this doesn't only affect me. I mean, I also work with two Spanish groups and a Brazilian group who receive my PSD's and clean images, so what'll happen to them? Not that anybody gives TWO SHITES other than myself and those involved. Anyway, in other news, it seems that ;display has finally released the previous volume (13) which I'm really glad to see. Thought they'd gone and died on us. However, things are smelling kinda FISHY with their release and Imperial Scans chapter 140 being released on the SAME DAY. Is it a deterrent against me, or am I reading too much into this miraculous coincidence and being unrealistically pessimistic? It's probably just a BIG coincidence. That said, I'll drop the link for their volume 13 release below, so please check it out for their sake. It took them a long time, and even though it is overdue, their constant work on the series since it started needs to be respected. Though if they needed help on anything, it's not like I wasn't open to lending a hand. Just sayin'. Umm, moving on.

Now, to answer the question which all of you are probably asking yourselves: will I be continuing the series? Hmm. I don't know. You see, I'm a one man show, and Imperial Scans is an entire group of from what I see on their credits page 10 FUCKING PEOPLE (overkill much) who will be releasing weekly, and that's just something that I BY MYSELF can't compete with. I mean, I translate, redraw and typeset everything by myself, and the only thing that I don't do is transcribe, which in itself is the smallest part. More so, I haven't even started on chapter 140. So where does that leave me? Limbo? Meh. All said and done, I'm STILL going to translate and release chapter 140 since that'll be the end of volume 14. After that, I honestly don't know. I COULD start working on Rain Hard and translate that instead, but the quality and accuracy of Imperial Scans needs to be checked out. FYI, I don't like their style of translating, nor ;displays, but I'm sure that a lot of people say the same thing about me. Anyway, I want to wait and see people's reactions to recent events and if or not you guys or those on the net want me to continue. See ya, and I'll see you next time. Bye!

P.S. - I rant on stupid things. Don't take anything I say too seriously or at face value. Also, I just randomly put emphasis on words just because. Don't take much by it, either.

Sucks, because I really wanted to use this (yes, I am that insane) for this week's credits page, but it turns out that the transcriber doesn't want her name on something like that (not that I blame her) and wouldn't send me anymore JP documents if I used it. So, I settled for "aids for mars", and yeah, I know that's like choosing getting raped in the mouth over gangrape. If you're into that sort of thing. Still, I TOTALLY understand because OH my fucking god is that what I think it is? Hee hee. Anyway, I'm really glad to have this chapter done since I can now work on that SUPER secret manga project I have in the works. And guess what, it's a secret! Bye!!! Enjoy the chapter!!!! Also, check out Bruce Campbell on page 18. If chins could kill!

P.S. - For anyone wondering. I don't hold a grudge or anything of the sort for those who may think otherwise. I just like to post about shit related to the scanlation of this manga. And that's all, folks. Actually, I didn't bother to redraw the rest of the Chinese (where the scans come from, FYI) text on the first page like last time. Found it hard and it looked really bad when I attempted to redraw so I just left it in. Removing their group's logo is enough, anyhow. In others words, I got kinda lazy. Ah ha ha ha ha! Again, the "five landing rotation method" is some kind of 5 step landing technique which I could only find info for in JP, so my bad if that lines comes off really awkward. And lasty, (what's up with me, can't I end a post normally?) I couldn't read the JP for "in the next chapter" so I just made something up. Umm, bye.

This didn't take long to translate since there actually wasn't much text in it. Though what took quite a while was the redraw that I had to do. Anyhow, seems like we'll be nearing the end of this volume. Yippee! Roach action soon, but not the kind of action I posted last time, FYI. See ya! Enjoy!

P.S. - Some of the lines I found hard to TL so I just adapted. Mainly the last line Michelle says, FYI. Also, excuse me for my joke, couldn't help it. Gave a few of you nightmares, huh? Also, made a mistake on the last chapter with Ivan's dialogue at the part where he says, "I understand", since it was actually, "I don't understand". Got it wrong since he spoke in slang and I didn't notice that. My bad. FYI, the transcriber I have noticed that, so thank her for that correction.

Update
The "is that the village of moza" line was a mistake. It actually says, "you call that a punch". Googles & Bings failed me on that one. And thank the anon on mangafox for the correction.
