New: Koi Neko v04 ch29; Mika ni Harassment ch01; Neko Kissa v01 ch09
Onsen~!
The first part of Suihei’s third work that was serialised in the same magazine as Kasumi Otoko no Ko. I made good progress on the second chapter, so hopefully I’ll be able to release that in due time.
Jenny is back…
——————————————————–
@Sandor: If you look carefully at the lower right corner on page 001 of Umi-chan’s friends, you’ll see a suspicious stain on the blocks.
@Anonymous: Unfortunately, I haven’t received any word from the scanner, Spiritovod, concerning the scans of the further chapters of Greed Packet Unlimited yet. Possibly because Spiritovod is busy with real life (Spiritovod was also scanning for several other groups as well). Though, I didn’t know there was a Korean scanlation for this series. I did see a Chinese scanlation that’s up to the third chapter that had watermarks.
I was thinking of doing a 2.0 version of the first chapter of Greed Packet Unlimited. Basically, I was thinking of including the hi-res monochrome pages that Spiritovod scanned for pages 003-006, and adding a translation for page 054. Back when I finished the chapter, I was too burned to do either of those things. Speaking of which, the 3rd volume of Greed Packet Unlimited was released like a week or two ago. I updated the project page with the cover and ISBN to reflect this.
@Chase-san: Well, out of those two series that you suggested, do you have the tankoubon RAWs (not magazine) for Okawari Naporitan? I remember doing a script for the first chapter back when I thought it was going to be a one-shot.
Also, as far as I’m aware, the author of Asuka Hybrid, Ken+, only has one other series called Infinite Blade. Infinite Blade is pretty much an ultra-violent guro fest where cute little girls get their bodies torn apart by sadists kind of like Elfen Lied. It also has lesbians. I’m pretty much unable to read Asuka Hybrid without imagining one of the characters experiencing a fate similar to the kobold girl from Infinite Blade (her body was broken apart much like how one eats a ginger bread cookie starting with the limbs).
@Sandor: Sorry about the spam bot invasion. Usually they only invade older blog entries (though the previous one was back in December, so I guess that makes it an old entry). Though the one that was annoying you only had four unique IP addresses, so it was relatively easy getting rid of it. If the bots become a serious problem in the future where blacklisting fails to get rid of them, I’ll be sure to implement a capcha like you suggested.
Okawari Naporitan is a crazy story in the same vein as Boukun Tyrano-san. I would describe it as a parody of other genderbending mangas. Basically, the main character’s family is under a curse where they’ll spontaneously change to the opposite sex on their 14th birthday because their ancestor was some okama with GID (Gender-identity disorder), who kept visiting some temple over a hundred times. The transformation is only temporary, so long as the person doesn’t kiss anyone for one day. Though, the main character’s little sister decides that she would rather have an older sister, so she tells everyone at the main character’s school about how the curse works… the way the mangaka draws his male characters is like a pissed-off gorilla with its fangs bared.
Wow. If you didn’t point that stain out I would have never seen it no matter how many times I read it.

Hello Taruby. I couldn’t find any other way of contacting you so I’m posting a comment. Are you planning on doing Mai HiME EXA?

Okawari Naporitan you say?
Funny I’m waiting on a copy to arrive, I wouldn’t mind scanning it in for you if you’re keen to translate it Taruby :D I also have Ichinensei ni Nacchattara vol5 shipping over which should be here in a day or two by now…

MIKA NI HARASSMENT!! I’d been looking for something like this! I tell ya, a fellow really needs some light-hearted pornography every now-and-then.
Have you ever seen Gorio then? Oddly enough, he sometimes looks like a pissed off gorilla with his fangs bared.
So…is Infinite Blade at all prone to comedy? EL has a little humor, while this damned thing called “Needless” thinks brains-across-the-wall is hilarious.
