Wait, didn’t you just say that you got a cease and de- Yes, yes we did get a C&D. So I took them off our servers, but that doesn’t mean we still can’t release this manga. Everything about scanlation can be considered illegal, sure, but since we end up doing everything from scratch, sans drawing the pages, it’s considered a fan work. It just happens to sit on top of a manga page. None of it is still hosted here though.

So yeah, Taeko and Masuda engage in a battle of wits. (Or should I say “wits”.) Taeko seems she’s managed to get a handle for Masuda… or is it the other way around?! Many things said, many things unsaid, what ever shall happen for the girl that can’t cry?

Oh my, did we hit the big time?

Some rather unfortunate news for all of you out there. We (specifically me) got contacted by JManga to take down chapters of Don’t Cry, Girl off our website since they own it now and stuff. So, effective immediately, I took them off our website. That means they’re off the reader, i.e. off the website, JManga.

This may, or may not, affect that many people directly. I can’t be sure though. It’s rather unfortunate, honestly, but I’d rather comply with the wishes of a licensee rather than attempt to engage in a potential legal battle.

What does this mean for us as a scanlation group doing this series? I’m not even sure anymore…

So I decided somewhere down the line that I should act more like a co-founder and actually do something other than translate. Though I’m not sure what part of being a co-founder making the release post is, I felt like doing it this time. Chances are I’ll be making a few these regularly from now on.

Not too much goes on in this chapter, but expect some interesting developments from next chapter onwards.

This was sitting done for quite a while, and for various reasons, it didn’t end up getting released until today. Also, expect the final chapters of Houkago Play, including the bonus chapter, sometime soon. Along with Akatsuki no Memoria, assuming メイル gets over post-PSO2 withdrawal symptoms and gives me something to work with. <- Shhh…

Tomoko’s summer draws to a close, and she’s not very content with just letting it go by, like every other time before. Will her plan to end her summer be successful, or will she end up falling into another set of unfortunate circumstances? One can only hope for the best!

Started the chapter approx. 4 hours late due to me being completely enamored by PSO2’s fan event today (I NEED my fix, Sega), and にんげん being rather busy. The chapter is on the short side, but the redraws were uhh… not. Spent almost 5 hours working on those, oho. Hence why it’s out at this time today. There’s a line or two I’m pretty iffy on, but I don’t have anyone to check with right now, so I might change them later.

Also, having come back to reality, I’ve been reading all your requests/complaints/whatever. Yes, I know, I need to hurry up on a number of things. Namely Akatsuki no Memoria and Cosmos.  I just need, uh, better time management skills and stuff.

I must preface by saying no this is not our release. It is simply something I, メイル, endorse.
If you are going to update it on Mangaupdates use the name “Anonymous“, not us! Understand?

[Get it Here]

Apparently this came out in the past 72 hours. Except I was still playing PSO2 (I’m suffering from withdrawals), and K is out playing TERA, so neither of us had a hand in helping do this. But hey, it’s not supposed to be organized, and thus is still a collaborated group effort by /a/ once again. (+Daiz)

Picture above’s not exactly evident of the clean quality, just something I fixed up for this post in a few clicks. Anyway, once again, we do not work on this. No one officially ‘blogs’ about it, so I’ll continue doing so because I don’t care. Or until Daiz (or whoever) yells at me to stop it.

Tag added for the people that follow the RSS. You should know what to do.

Watamote tomorrow. I need to go to bed now.

Edit: Apparently, someone else writes about this somewhere. Except it’s rather unscrupulous. Oh well.

This one goes out to you ShadeCiira. You yelled at me to go faster, so I went faster…! Even though I totally didn’t want to do it, because I’m still playing PSO2.

It was announced via email a short while ago that Jmanga was going to pick up Don’t Cry, Girl. I was going to write a post about this at the time it happened, but it was like 3 AM so I ended up not doing it.

What you may, or may not know, is that Jmanga is basically a legal way to read manga online, by purchasing points to “buy” them on the service. (Yay digital copies.) Either way, it means it’s being licensed in North America, in some capacity. Chances are it will be released in bulk, or by chapter as they typically do.

Anyway, having talked to にんげん about it, as well as various other people, we decided we’re just going to say “Screw it.” and keep doing it anyway. Mostly because it’s highly improbable that many will actually read it off Jmanga anyways. To bring manga to those that are unable to read it, is why scanlators exist after all.

A Blast From the Past: Hen-Zemi

You know I never thought I’d ever write about this ever again. Honestly. It’s been almost eight months since we decided to drop Hen-Zemi, much to the chagrin of people we knew. But hey, times do change, so I will tell you now that it has been picked up by Japanzai. Regardless of my personal opinion of Japanzai at large, the TL in charge, krachek, had the courtesy to contact us about it, so I figured I’d endorse it a bit.

So yeah, if you were a fan of Hen-Zemi, and were still waiting somehow, wait no longer.

Also, since it has been so long, I might as well say publicly why we ended up dropping it back then.

So uh, I’m busy not typesetting Don’t Cry Girl, not cleaning Akatsuki no Memoria, and not designing for Love Despite. Instead I’m busy playing the CBT for PSO2, because I have lost control of my life.

Worry not. I think K has a few things finished so there will at least be some sort of release in the next week while I continue to do nothing but play this silly beta. I don’t know why I’m bothering though, we can’t keep our characters after CBT, and I’m already level 20. Boohoo. Oh well,at least we have FUN all the time.

We have a long chapter once again after a while without, and this time Tomoko goes on a adventure to visit a professional voice actor, but of course things are never going to go as planned. She even does some really, really obscene things!

I feel like I should put something meaningful here, like I always do, but にんげん is long asleep, and I’m up here at 3:524:17 AM PST with no one else to blame but myself. 仕方がない。

[23:17] Ghost`Yomi: Fuck me.
[23:18] Ningendomo: ?
[23:21] Ghost`Yomi: I literally just fucking closed it without saving.
[23:21] Ningendomo: Dang
[23:21] Ningendomo: That sucks
[23:24] Ghost`Yomi: I need to go walk around outside…
[23:24] Ghost`Yomi: God damn it.

And thus is the story. The thing I closed happened to be the redraw for this page. Which I had to do. All of it. Twice. I was so close to finishing the first time… Oh well. At least it’s all done now, with some help from a Anon right before my demise. (You really did help me out, you know!) Redrawing is a tough job.

There obviously may be errors considering the circumstances, plus I kind of feel I might v2 if I end up coming back to it. Some words/lines were changed, and some cleans rather rushed. I hope to avoid this kind of situation in the future, seriously. Sure, I could hold off and just release it when it’s ready, but then what’s the point of speed scanlating?

If you can, please support Tanigawa-sensei by buying/pre-ordering the 2nd volume. It’s a worthy cause!
