Megchan's Scanlations

  • Himegoto ch. 71-72

    ETA: There was a missing page in chapter 71. I reupped the complete chapter now, but if you already downloaded it and just want the missing page, you can grab that by itself here.

    First update of July! Normally this would be the end of the volume for Himegoto, but for some reason this volume has fourteen chapters instead of twelve, so we’ve still got two more to go after this. (And then just two volumes until the series is over!)

    By the way, I’ve got a Twitter now at @megchans_scans for updates if you want to follow me there

  • Chronos II (doujinshi)

    Several years ago, I was commissioned to translate a Dissidia Final Fantasy doujinshi, which turned out to be the first of a series. Not long after I posted, someone sent me scans of the second installment, but I just never had the time to translate it…until now! And I kind of wish I’d checked around before working on it, because it seems like there is already an English version by someone else… ^_^;; So if you want to read parts three and four, you can go to this site. Oh well, so it goes!

    Title: Chronos II
    Circle: Fujiwara Kurenai (Kiki)
    Pairing: Sephiroth/Cloud

    In this sequel to Chronos I, The Emperor tries to recruit Cloud to help him take out Sephiroth.

    Summary: When your father is a Buddhist priest and your home is a temple, life can be complicated. For Satoru, Hikari, and Ogami, the thought of who will inherit the temple and take over when their father gets old is always in the back of their minds, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. Because Hikari loves the temple so much, it’s been all but decided that when she grows up, she’ll marry someone who can take over from her father, but when she falls for someone completely unsuitable, all three sisters find themselves re-examining their assumptions.

    Chapter summary: Although Christmas is not a religious holiday in Japan, Hikari’s family has never celebrated it due to its religious roots. But this year she and her friends plan a not!Christmas party that just happens to fall on Christmas.

  • Baby, Kokoro no Mama ni! ch. 4

    Well, as it happens, things fell through with this series yet again, and I found myself once more without a collaborator, so I decided I’m just going to do all the cleaning and typesetting myself. So hopefully by taking things into my own hands I can finally break the curse of this series and start getting it out on a more regular schedule!

    When I was working on it originally with Kidu, she was just using the online scans for each chapter, but I am now working from the actual tankobon release, so I went back through chapters 1-3 and added any extra pages, as well as adding the table of contents and a proper cover and stuff like that. There were also some minor changes like chapter titles being different in the final release, so that’s all been updated. I would recommend popping over here to redownload the first three chapters if that sort of thing matters to you.

  • Musume no Iede ch. 7

    Yes, that’s right, another new series. ^_^;; This is Shimura Takako’s other currently-running series, which I had given up on being able to translate, because I saw another group was working on it. But then I recently took a look and saw that nothing had been released since December, and the person who typeset volume one was looking to continue it if they could find someone to translate and provide raws, and since I could do both…here we are!

    If you’re not already familiar with this series, you can read volume one on batoto.com. It’s really cute and I highly recommend it.
