When she decides not to tell any adults, it’s up to her classmates to help her through this ordeal. (Note: This is not loli. Sex happens off-screen and the artwork is not fan-servicey.)

    I couldn’t wait and took a lightning quick look at the entire remaining manga (raw). Now I’m more impatient for the scanlations.

      There are only the first three chapters because that’s all I’ve translated so far. I will add future chapters here when I have a chance to translate them.

      Yes, I plan on finishing the entire 3-volume series. However, I don’t know when I will get the next chapter done. Hopefully within the next couple months.

    Look guys there is a manga with no releases just one and i would like you for u to try to continue that manga.
    The manga is “happy trouble weeding”

    1. megchan Avatar
      megchan

      I’m sorry, but I already have my hands full. I understand being frustrated about a dropped series, but according to Baka Updates, Happy Trouble Wedding is an ongoing series, already seven volumes long, and I just don’t have the time to commit to another project that long.

      Hopefully some other group will pick it up eventually. It sounds interesting.

    P.S.: Sorry for my english i’m portuguese and sometimes is hard to explain myself.

    Wow. I haven’t started reading this series yet, but it sounds interesting. Just commenting to commend you on dealing with such rude readers while still having the motivation to keep going. I’ll probably also grab the Azumanga Supplementary Materials. Thanks for sharing and don’t listen to the pushy bastards. Take your time! :D

      I haven’t forgotten about it. It’s the manga I’m updating *most often*. Which, yeah, I realise is still not super often compared to groups that update every week or every month, but I have added four new chapers this year and if you read the other comments, have repeatedly stated that I’m in the middle of chapter 9 and plan to have it out before the end of the year, so it’s pretty clear I haven’t forgotten about it.

    OK Megchan, don’t take things badly it was just a little remark. I didn’t want to hurt or to push you. It is just great to read this manga in English.

    Just caught up with everything you have translated so far. Thank you so much for picking this up! This is such a change of pace from most of the series we all read, and so far it has been great! I could easily see people giving up on this because there’s not your ‘typical’ manga characters, but this story is amazing and I can not thank you enough for sticking with it! I am going to go ahead and look at the raws, but I know I can not wait to see the rest of it translated.
