  • Yasha ch. 10

    Well, it’s still July in some timezones, so I’m counting this as before the end of the month. :p

    Also, I am looking for someone to work with me on Yasha. I can get things done so much faster if all I’m doing is the translation, so if you would like to do the typesetting and cleaning (the raws I have need hardly any cleaning other than erasing the text) and think you can commit to at least one chapter a month, please email me at kyuuketsukirui@gmail.com.

  • The state of things

    I’ve had a lot of people comment and email asking about Himegoto and Ore Monogatari, so I figured I might as well make a post. I know it’s been a long time, but we have not dropped either of these series. The next chapter of OreMono is almost ready to post, and I have two chapters of Himegoto translated that just need to be edited. Hopefully I’ll be able to post new chapters of both series in August.

    In addition, we have started a new series as well, which I’m going to leave as a surprise until it’s read to post. Plus the next chapter of Yasha is almost done, so I will be posting that maybe this weekend, but before the end of July for sure.

    Also, while I really like the level of control that comes with doing everything myself, it does make things slower, so I’m putting out a call. If you would like to work with me on either Yasha or A Child’s Child, please email me at kyuuketsukirui@gmail.com. For both these series I am working from raws found on the internet, that are in pretty good shape already, so there is not a lot of cleaning involved. Mainly you would just be doing typesetting. When I’m doing all the work myself, I aim for a chapter every other month of each series. If I were working with someone else, I would like to post at least one chapter a month each of Yasha and A Child’s Child. If you have experience doing typesetting for another group or on your own, that’s great. If not, that’s fine, too (though I would want to give you a couple test pages to see what you can do). Anyway, please drop me a line if you’re interested!

  • Yasha vols. 1 and 2

    I’ve reupped volume one with some changes and uploaded volume two as well for those who want a complete file.

    With both of these, I renumbered the pages from what I had been using for the chapter uploads so that the file names now match the page numbers printed on the pages. (When I first started, I ditched some blank pages from the beginning, which made my numbering wonky.) I also included back covers for both volumes, with translated cover blurbs. Volume two also has two pages of character introductions at the beginning, as well as a summary of what happened in volume one. So even if you had downloaded all the chapters individually, you might want to replace them with these.
