• All Out!! ch. 2

    So…this is kind of a surprise comeback, but I was approached by Butcher of Anima Regia, and asked if they could use my translation to do a Brazilian Portuguese version, and then also offered to do cleaning/typesetting for the English version as well. I hesitated at first because I really don’t want to overload myself, but I feel like I’m doing pretty good keeping on top of things lately, and I already had chapter two translated over a year ago when I was working on it with Kidu, so…I decided to give it another shot!

    However, we only have raws for volume one, so if anyone has later volumes or is willing to buy and scan them, just email me at kyuuketsukirui@gmail.com.

  • Looking for collaborators

    Hey, guys. New chapters of Himegoto and Yasha will be up before the end of the month, and I’ve got some other stuff coming soon, too, hopefully. But today I’m posting to see if there’s anyone out there interested in helping with a couple projects.

    The first is Tera Girl, which as you may have noticed, has been on hold for a very long time. At first it was my fault, as I put it on the back burner and just never seemed to get around to it, but now I have the last two chapters of volume one done, and found that the person who was typesetting for me no longer has time. Ideally I would like to do like a chapter every other month, but it might be even slower than that, because it definitely is lower priority for me… But it is a short series, only three volumes total, and the first volume is mostly done now.

    The second is an even smaller project. It is a single-volume manga by Yoshida Akimi, author of Yasha, called The Cherry Orchard (Sakura no Sono). There are four chapters total, as well as an unrelated one-shot. Strangely enough, the last two chapters are available online, but there is no sign of the first two chapters, so I agreed to translate them for a group that was getting off the ground…and then that group ended up dissolving before we ever published anything. I have the first chapter translated and am debating on whether I even want to retranslate chapters three and four or not. The translation that’s up isn’t bad and I don’t like repeating work when it isn’t necessary, but being able to have it all in one place would be nice, so idk. At the very least it would be the first two chapters plus the one-shot. This would be for release whenever it gets done.

    Anyway, please email me at kyuuketsukirui@gmail.com if you are interested in either project!

    Well, I had thought this series would be forever abandoned, but recently Kidu got back in touch with me and said she wanted to start working on it again!
