It’s Not My Fault That I’m Not Popular! Ch.22

DDL: [Mediafire] | Online: [Reader]

Surprise, the chapter was delayed again because I am still playing PSO2. (158 hours) Even more of a surprise is that ツインテール/Twintail has seemingly returned from thin air and cleaned this chapter. And a third ‘surprise’ is that we are slightly on hiatus while we/I figure out what to do with all the secret staff we have now. But I think you knew the hiatus part already.

Q: Akatsuki no Memoria WHERE? You said before second cour, and it’s second cour already!
A: Was stalled due to needing TL. Is being actively worked on now. No ETA. Might even release in bulk.(?)

17/7/2012 Edit: To quell confusion, YES, we’re still doing this manga. Regularly.

A bit of a delayed release, since I’ve been feeling really under the weather lately. But also as a means to spend more time on trying to actually QC properly, in the hopes of maybe quelling the amount of complaints we get on mistranslations; which we might still have. (We’re looking for some TLC help!) Remember to voice said complaints so they can be fixed and all that, just don’t be mean about it.

Still got Don’t Cry, Girl Ch.06 to complete, then it’s off to doing all the other stuff we have to work on. Hopefully I can keep up!

It’s Not My Fault That I’m Not Popular! Vol.02 Omake

DDL: [Mediafire] | Online: [Reader]

Volume 2’s been out for a little over a week now, but raws only surfaced recently, so we went ahead and translated the Omake just like last time. There’s a short of a author thing at the end of this one that sheds a little more light on the Twitter ‘incident’ and who they are as a duo.

The volume itself has already sold over 60,000 units in it’s first week, placing it in the Top 10! I for one, as the person that typesets thing manga, find it to be spectacular. Seems we, as a collective whole, managed to change Japanese perception once again. It’s pretty neat.

Edit: Key error on the last page; I neglected a “not”. Should be fixed now. (Too late for aggregate sites.)

P.S. HP batches aren’t there yet, since I got sick again. Should pass soon though.
Should also change the tag from “Loser Girl” to “Watamote” but it’d probably mess up RSS feeds.

It’s Not My Fault That I’m Not Popular! Q&A

[View The Q&A Here]

So Gangan Online had a “Special” Sommelier Q&A with Nico-sensei, author of this manga, for the release of the second volume. Wherein they ask 7 questions ranging from “What was your favorite part” to the ‘incident’ on Twitter. Initially we were just going to do a text based translation, but come on, that’s boring! So I went ahead and rippedtook all the relevant information from the original page, and re-edited the entire thing into English. Well mostly. Was it necessary? No, not at all, but it’s pretty fun to do cool things like this.

Sorry if it breaks on your browser, I didn’t really test it outside of Firefox/Chrome.

Oh, and after the ‘break’ there’s two videos by akatuki1130 where she voices chapters from the manga.

And here we are again. The Life and Misadventures of Tomoko Kuroki. The chapter is rather on the long side coming in at 14 pages. Some anon was telling me I was basically trash for redrawing pages, which sure, you can say that because it’s somewhat true. But like I told them, unless you want to read pages like this, there’s no real point in say such things. (Also, there’s actually a second part to that credits image.)

Tanigawa-sensei will be taking another break again for the release of the second volume on the 22nd, so the next chapter is next month. But, remember to get out and pre-order/buy your copies to help support her. We managed to do a lot of cool things–and a few not so cool things–so let’s try to make a mangaka’s dream come true again!

Don’t Cry, Girl‘s post was edited with a DDL. Happy reading!
Akatsuki no Memoria is a go! Aiming to finish Vol.1 before 2nd cour. I’ve posted spoilers on /a/ already.
Houkago Play is already slowly being wrapped up as of this post. Hope to get it out somewhat soon.
Cosmos and Sorairo Square are still kind of tied up, but I’m working to untangle that ASAP as well.

It’s Not My Fault That I’m Not Popular! Ch.18

DDL: [Mediafire] | Online: [Reader]

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.

It’s Not My Fault That I’m Not Popular! Ch.17

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!
