New Manga Trial: Morie Satoshi’s "Love Sick"

K3

Here’s the first chapter of Morie Satoshi’s “Love Sick.”  This manga didn’t hook me, but since I completely translated the chapter, I figured I should go ahead and scanlate it so you all can read it too and give some feedback.  Please, forgive me for any typos because I only did one quick proofread myself since this is just a trial.  I will not be scanlating this series because it’s not very interesting to me.  However, if you are interested, perhaps having the first chapter already translated will help you petition another scanlation group.Link to Morie Satoshi’s “Love Sick” Sick … Continue reading New Manga Trial: Morie Satoshi’s "Love Sick"

Arakure Chp 53 Translation

K3

Here’s Arakure Chp 53.  And with this chapter we come to the end of the very short Kyoto arc.  In this chapter Sachie shows her resolve.  I like this chapter a lot because it shows when two people are in love, they will do whatever it takes to be together.  Love doesn’t always have to be a sacrifice or painful. Link to Chp 53 (11/13/2009 version 2) I’m going to take a little break to take a look at some of the options for my next project.  I figured the best thing to do is to translate and post the … Continue reading Arakure Chp 53 Translation

New Project Survey Finished

K3

The new project survey ended early this morning.  “Ultimate Venus” won by a large margin at the last minute.  However, two or three days ago I wrote I would not be taking on that project in this blog because parts of it are not appropriate for a general audience.  I received some excellent suggestions in the comments and as a result, I will be translating “Yoroshiku Master” for the holiday season.  As for after that, “Toshokan Sensou” and “Shitsuji-sama no Okiniiri” are the front runners.  However, given the excellent suggestions, I would like to take some time to research some … Continue reading New Project Survey Finished

Arakure Volume 7 (Chp 34 – 38) — Words Can’t do Justice

K3

Words can’t do Arakure volume 7 justice, so I’m not even going to try to write a summary in detail.  It really is a volume you should buy. Chapter 34 Kazuya likes Miho and intends to confess to her, but Miho likes Rakuto.  Kazuya now hates Rakuto.  Meanwhile the teachers are pressuring Rakuto and Sachie to choose a career path. Back to Kazuya:  he decides to find Rakuto’s weakness and expose it.  In passing, Rakuto congratulates Takaya (Sachie’s class president and the son of the police detective) for winning the  election and becoming the next Student Body President.  Kazuya hears … Continue reading Arakure Volume 7 (Chp 34 – 38) — Words Can’t do Justice

Arakure Volume 6 (Chp 30 – 33) Summaries

K3

Chapter 30  The chapter begins with Azuma complaining to himself about what Sachie told Rakuto (“I guess it’s not so bad if it means you’ll always be around”) and thinks Sachie, in so many words, has confessed to Rakuto.  Meanwhile a pudgy guy name Tataki Yoichi and his son show up and ask the gang for money to help save their restaurant.  Apparently, in his younger years, the pudgy guy used to be a skinny and very skilled burglar.  He left the gang to buy a house and open a restaurant with his wife.  Anyhow, Tataki’s wife died a few … Continue reading Arakure Volume 6 (Chp 30 – 33) Summaries

For the Holiday Season — "Yoroshiku Master" is a Go!

K3

It’s the holiday season and what better way to spend it than with Christmas themed manga! “Yoroshiku Master” only has 5 chapters and a short special left (Chp 8 – 12 — Volume 3?) so I will go ahead and complete the series starting this month through January.  After that, I will begin a new series.  “V.B. Rose” is temporarily out because it’s lowest ranked on the survey and it looks like volume 7 is coming out the first week of January.  This leaves “Toshokan Sensou” and “Shitsuji-sama no Okiniiri”  From the survey it looks like either is acceptable.  I … Continue reading For the Holiday Season — "Yoroshiku Master" is a Go!

Help Me Choose my Next Project

Update (11/08/2009):  With 2-days left, it looks like “Ultimate Venus” is pulling ahead. However, after taking a second look at the series, I think the content may not be appropriate for a general audience, so I’ve decided that I cannot go forward with scanlating this series on this blog.  This leaves me with a the selections that are tied for 2nd and some suggestions from other folks.  In light of this, I will do a second round of polling and apologize to those folks who voted for “Ultimate Venus.” ———————————————Update (11/05/2009):  It looks like there’s a 3-way tie so far … Continue reading Help Me Choose my Next Project
