I'M NOT DEAD!

Am I really averaging one post a month!? I know I've been apologizing a lot for that....so you probably don't want to hear any more of it. Instead, I'll take a different approach. This semester ends in two weeks, so I'm making a list of all the manga and novels I need to put together. I'll finish them all over winter break! Just you wait! I'll update the site (adding the cover images I've been neglecting). I'll add new volumes, new series, new novels! I'll get translations and scans and work my butt off to be caught up for the new year! It'll be an extreme New Year's, I promise.

Anyways, if you haven't already noticed, I've added the two new Bleach vols, 50 and 51, with all-English translations. I also FINALLY got my hands on Kekkaishi 33 (yeah, now that 35 is gonna come out soon :\ ).

To anyone who still comes around here, thank you! And I'm sorry that there haven't been any updates. I won't let you down. I may even post a few sneak-peaks of what I'm gonna be adding later, just so you won't be disappointed until New Years :3
Ja, mata ne~

....

Hyaa, hisashiburi~

Been a while, eh......and I'm really sorry. I don't ever feel like doing anything =_= But I've got something for you today, though I should be working on a speech that's due tomorrow.....

Anyways! I've got Bleach volumes 48 and 49 up! Yay, yay, yay!

....I hope it's not another month before I add some more....
Sorry >_>

Brand New Post

Well, I decided to go ahead and upload what I had for now. It's gonna be a bit before I get completely back in the groove...

I've got:
Bleach 44 & 45
HUNTERxHUNTER 27
Bamboo Blade 2 (yay!)
and D.Gray-man vols 1-7, 11-16, & 20-22. I'm using all-English extras for these, that's why there's some gaps (I haven't gotten the hard copies for the rest).
Full Metal Panic! Sigma 16

Guah! I wish blogger wouldn't change my page urls randomly. Sorry about that. All of the pages should be re-linked and good to go now.

Edit: So, I was bored and decided to buckle down and just do it. So, Break Blade is now up. I'll work on vols 9-10 later, for now it's just 1-8. The movie series for this is surprisingly really good. I'm glad I finally decided to watch it. You can find the manga on the first 'other manga' page :)

Long Time No Post, ne~

Has it been a week? Sorry about that...
I'm heading off to college in about a week, so lately I've been....doing nothing. Thought I'd say something about being caught up in real life stuff, didn't you? I'm perpetually not busy. I've just been watching anime all week, taking it easy (because I like being lazy :3). So there's really no excuse for the wait...We could blame it the translators and releases, right?

Anyways:
Spice & Wolf vol 10. Yup, finally the translators got the whole thing put together. A major POWER UP, so if you like pdf ebooks, definitely use their original. It's very nice.

Baka and Test vol 9.5. Sorry I didn't put as much effort into this one. Some things are just lost in translation, so if you want to experience all that Baka Test has to offer,....learn Japanese? I'm up for it!

None of the RAWs I've been waiting on have shown up...That makes me really sad. Plus, the hard copies are taking a long time to get here....Not sure when I'll have more, but I am working on another series! It's a short one. And for anyone curious about D.Gray-man, I was gonna upload all that I had, but I managed to get some hard copies, so I'm waiting on those :3

Ja ne~

Ryohgo Narita Writes Some Awesome Stuff...

...but in crazy ways.

I'm just about to the end of the Baccano! road. Until someone clears the path some more, I'm stuck.

vols 1-8 - done
vols 9-10 - need translating
vols 11-13 - done (13 is up!)
vol 14 - currently being translated
vol 15 - translated, but I need the raw
vols 16-17 - need translating

I went back and fixed some errors/changed some formatting in all of the volumes (aside from 1 & 4), so you should re-grab them (sorry for always doing that). But in one of them, I didn't even link the table of contents page! Pretty bad, I know.

Baccano!

The translators for this are all amazing. They're pdf/ebook releases are also amazing, so they're really isn't a need for anyone to wait on mine (I just like having everything formatted the same, so I'm doing it like the rest of my ebooks/light novels).

I've been staying true to my 'novel a day' work schedule. Baccano! vols 1-7 are up (I finished early today!). And, by this time tomorrow, the first 10 volumes of Kimi ni Todoke will all have English extras.
Ja~

EDIT: Kimi ni Todoke vols 1-10 have English extras now. Just for update's sake, the other series I've replaced the extras for: Soul Eater (1-7), Bakuman (2-10) and Black Butler (10). I'm off to read work on vol 8 of Baccano!.

Ready, Set, Go!

Yay! I've got English extras for a few more series!

Soul Eater vols 1-7 (cleaned up & added all English extras)
Black Butler vol 10 (English omake & fixed black pages between chapters)
Bakuman vols 1-10 (added all English extras)

As the new volumes of these come out in the US, I should be able to get my hands on them now and replace the extras. Exciting, right!

AND! I finally got around to watching Baccano!, and it's ten times more interesting than I thought it would be. The translations for the novels, well, there's actually a lot! SO, I'm going to be adding those :) For now, vols 1-4 are done. I'm trying to finish one novel a day.

On a very small side note, I haven't gotten all of the D.Gray-man up yet..but I'm working on it...
On another, even smaller side note, Mirai Nikki is now gone....not that anyone ever downloaded it....so no big.

Ja, ne~

Finally, ne~

Just like I said, some awesome stuff I've been waiting on:

Bleach vols 42 & 43
Naruto vol 57

AND, I've got almost 2/3 of D.Gray-man done, so I'll start uploading those. I think I'm going to be stopping by another library later this week, so expect even more english extra pages (for the series that I already have up) in the future!

D-D-D-Duel!!

Guwahh! Has it really been a week?! So sorry about that. The new series I'm doing (D.Gray-man) is going kind of slow (hard copies being a bit hard to obtain), but I'm working on it full-speed now. Actually, I've been working on the light novels the past week. I had to type two of the stories and edit the rest, so it was a bit slow. I don't have the page for D.Gray-man ready, but I'll give you the links to the novels I've put together as a bonus!

Note: I don't have the raws, so I guarantee you there are some extras or images missing, but the stories are all there (some translations better than others).

D.Gray-man reverse1: The Clergyman of Departure
D.Gray-man reverse2: The 49th Name
D.Gray-man reverse3: Lost Fragment of Snow

As always, they're in mobi format :)

An End to the Legend

The last volumes was released this week of Bakuman. I haven't read it yet since I'm waiting until the anime is finished, but I really love the characters of this series (Nizuma-kun in particular!). It's kind of sad to see it end, but this is ultimately my goal for each series, to reach the end and have it all up. Today, although bittersweet, I'm happy to announce that Bakuman. vol 20 is up, and with that the series is concluded. I'm working on possibly getting my hands on the hard copies to replace the extras, but that's literally only the intro character page at the beginning. A good series. A fine series. I'm excited to watch the third season of the anime, I don't want to wait until October :3

Oh, and I still haven't updated the html on the "other manga" pages where Bakuman. is.....but I will soon....I promise...
Ja, mata ne~

Surprise!...or Not

I decided to wait a couple days, make everyone think "Gah, you liar! You're just as slow as the rest of them!", then throw those words in your face as I release vols 4-6 right here, right now! Muahahaha! HunterxHunter is now caught up (for the most part). I know my scans aren't the best (my scanner is a bit on the crappy side), but at least they're clean. Now, there are no crappy scans for the series! Officially saying HunterxHunter vols 1-26 (English extras) are all up and running!
I finally get to start on the next series that I'm really excited for :3
Ja, ne~

MORExMORE

Well, I managed to get vol 7 done just like I said, but Hunter x Hunter volumes sure are long. Ignore what I said earlier and just expect 4-6 done by the end of the week :) I also just finished downloading all of the raw/translated volumes for another ongoing series that I'm gonna pick up. The hard copies are being released, but I don't have access to them all....pooey. Super-secret project is still in the works. Sadly, I haven't been working on it much lately. I've lost all the fervor (or was it a fever?) I had that made me crazy enough to start it. But it will be finished! Don't worry, it's nothing important that anyone would be waiting on, it's just something I felt like doing...
Ja, ne~

Quick Quick

Hunter x Hunter vol 8 is done! Looks like I'm going to have to do 4-7 on my own, jwmad is missing :(
BUT, I hope to get one out every day, which means HunterxHunter should be done before the end of the week. Vol 4 (or 7? haven't decided what's next) should be done by Tuesday morning, then the next on Wednesday, then so on.
I probably didn't need to make a whole new post just to say this, but I'm bored again...

On a side note, I finally got around to replacing the animednl button with a new one, since animednl is no longer. I decided to use MangaTraders, since they've been a real help to me.

NEXTxNEXT

The next series I've been tackling is just about finished. If you noticed the updates box, you'd know that HUNTERxHUNTER vols 1-3 & 10-26 are all up. 4-9 have crappy scans, so I'm waiting to see what jwmad is gonna clean next, then I'll scan and clean the others. He's disappeared for almost a month, so I bet I'll end up having to scan and clean them all >_>. I may be able to get vol 27 within a month or so?, and vol 28 doesn't come out until September (I'm using the english versions, so all of the extras are in english!).

I highly recommend the anime series for this (the first one, not the newest one that's still airing). I really love the voice cast and the animation isn't as comical as the new series is. Two of my favorite seiyuu are in it, Takeuchi Junko and Takahashi Hiroki <3 The musicals are awesome, too. Wicked awesome. I love how all of the seiyuu play their own character. I particularly enjoyed the Zoldyck musical where Killua's dad and gramps were doing ****** and ****** like crazy! They're voice actors! Voice actors can do that kind of stuff?!?!? Japan really is awesome, you know. A place where voice actors can **** and ***** with the best of them.

Ja, mata ne~

 EDIT: Vol 9 wasn't so crappy, so I only had to replace about 1/4 of the pages. Anyways, it's up, too.

For Your Eyes Only

Alright everyone, keep this on the down-low, will you. We're finished with our first subtitling project, and since it kind of has to do with the manga here, I'm gonna post it. BUT, we haven't officially released the links to the public yet, this is a day-early treat for anyone who comes here.

Well, without further delay, I present to you:

Rock Musical Bleach the Live Bankai Show Code:003 SUBBED

For anyone who knows, this is the last of the main string of Bleach Musicals. It's now been subbed :) I'd love any feedback, since this is our first project. We plan on doing more Bleach Musical stuff, so we definitely want to hear you complaints & compliments.

For anyone who doesn't know about the Bleach Musicals, I highly recommend them, especially if you like Bleach the manga/anime. All of the main musicals have now been subbed, and you can find them around pretty easily (if not, let me know and I'll point you to a few different places).
Ja ne~

On a side note: Prince of Tennis vol 2 has been replaced with a completely-English version!....basically, I got the hard copy, so I replaced all of the Japanese extras with English ones. Also, I'll slowly be adding HunterxHunter volumes throughout the week. Look forward to it :)

Wolf Again

Volume 6 of Spice & Wolf has been replaced with the official (retail) version. No more fan-trans for that. Volume 7 won't be out until December..... Sad, right?

Anyways, sorry about my lack of updates. I've been subbing like crazy these past 2 weeks. But, now I'm done with that (I'll probably post the links tomorrow?). I'll go back to working on my super-secret project (which is 50% done, page-wise, and 75% total, since the black-and-white pages will be a lot easier to do). I've decided against doing Beelzebub (forgive me), and HunterxHunter is in the works. I have (potential) access to all of the hard copies, so the extras will all be in English :)
Well, that's all for now. Ja ne~

Pandora-dora-dora the Explora~

Finally finished uploading Pandora Hearts vols 1-17. All caught up on this series :) All I'm missing is one omake in vol 12 that I can't find translations for...
I stopped reading at vol 12, too, since I know what's coming. My favorite character is....he's....(can't spoil the world), but I'm gonna start reading it again. It's a good series.
Ja ne~

Skip a Beat

Skip Beat vol 30 is up. The raws finally showed themselves :) Not feeling very wordy today, pretty busy doing subtitles.
Ja ne~

Busy Busy

I've been really busy lately working on projects! Almost half way done with my super secret project, haven't gotten much of any more progress done with HunterxHunter and Beelzebub, and started something new (subbing). BUT, I've gotten a few volumes of Pandora Hearts uploaded today, so I'll add those. I've got up to 17 finished (all with translated omake!, except for one in vol 12), they just need to be uploaded. For now, I've got vols 1-4. I'll try to add more every morning, when my internet isn't crappish.

Can you believe June is already half way over?.......I think I'm gonna quit sleeping. That way I get twice as much time in a day.... The way things are now, I feel like my time's being cheated out of me.
Ja ne~

Optimism pays off?

If you were optimistic about the Bleach volumes, then I'm here to tell you that it payed off! A genuine success story! ....but if you weren't optimistic..... well, it didn't make any difference, did it? Optimistic or not, the new volumes were finished before the end of the week!


Bleach vols 40-41

The main reason why I was looking forward to June so much :3 Viz is releasing two volumes every month until the end of the year! I get excited thinking about it. I was always disappointed that they were so far behind with Bleach, yet just a few volumes behind with Naruto.
I got volume 4 of Pandora Hearts, too. The scans online are so crappy, so I'm gonna scan the whole thing again. Then, the series will be done (so far) and I can upload them! Nyufufufufufu :3
Ja ne~
