Status Report 2

I'm not dead yet, just busy

Also if you're one of those people who still has not given up hope for Bambino Secondo, another team is doing it over here so check it out. I haven't read it myself so I can't vouch for the quality but I haven't heard any complaints, either. So have fun with that and sorry for the delays.

Status Report

I'm in the middle of a several month long project that involves translating a lot of dumb boring books. Also, Dark Souls. But mostly the former. Sorry. I'll make another post when this is over.

Let's Talk About Genshiken 86

So like I'm not hosting scanlations or anything anymore, and this is late as hell, but fuck it, let's ramble.

Needless to say a ton of spoilers below.

Yonensei

Mediafire Download

This is what Kio Shimoku did before Genshiken.

Most of you may only be familiar with Kio's work through Genshiken, and so are probably more used to his stories being whimsical and comical with brief snippets of seriousness. Truth be told, before he did Genshiken, Kio was known more for his interest in more raw material that had to do with the painful mistakes people make in youth and in relationships. You'll see it more in Gonensei but it's very much present here as well; it appears in Kagerou Nikki and Jigopri as well. Hell, it's even present to a degree in Genshiken as well.

So that's enough for background.

Yonensei is a story about a couple in their fourth year of college, Shima Akio and Soma Yoshino. It goes over the troubles they face in their relationship as they approach graduation. I hope you enjoy it it, and of course sorry for the delay (this should have been out almost a year ago to be honest).

As for the sequel, I will be doing it, but my raws are missing pages so I may not work on it as fast as I'd like. We'll see. Worst comes to worst I'll buy and scan the missing pages myself. I'm currently on the fence as to how I'm going to release it; I'm leaning toward a chapter schedule to make it easier on myself instead of the volume release I went for with this one, as the sequel is five volumes long. I guess I'll sort that out later.

Again, hope you enjoy the story.

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

That was the best chapter.

So about Genshiken

You might have noticed that all the posts on this blog that previously hosted Genshiken chapters are gone, and so are the mediafire links to them. I was not the one who took them down. You might see where this is headed.

Long story short, Kodansha USA isn't exactly thrilled at my illegal pursuits and so I'm counting myself lucky that I even still have a blog at this point. Soooo, you won't be seeing any more translated Genshiken on this blog. Sorry.

Thankfully Kodansha's own licensed translation is apparently pretty good, so if you live in the US go out and buy it! Support Genshiken and all that jazz.

Well I guess that's one thing Not-Madarame is better at than Kousaka...

I am really not happy with the editing for this chapter but I did the best I could considering I'm terrible at editing.

And yes, of course the anime movie mentioned is K-ON.

Hiatus Notice

As some of you may know, the Lord of Terror is returning to the world of men on May 15. That is, tomorrow.

I depart on a journey to slay the foul demon and banish him to the Black Abyss for the last time.


In other words I'm gonna take a break to play Diablo 3. I'll be back when the next Genshiken chapter comes out, around the 25th of this month. Until then, peace.

The chapter in which Firo Prochainezo takes entirely too long to take a bite of Salisbury steak.

I also made a small mistake in terms of time in an earlier chapter; it has been fixed.
