    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.
