I've been tired this week. Hate it.

Anyway.

Tippies, the person editing Wolf Guy has retired from scanlations to focus on medical school. So there'll be a slight delay. Just so you know, I found someone else to do chapter 76. Once that's done, we'll release it simultaneously with chapter 77 which is almost done because there weren't many redraws in it.

So if any experienced Editors (who can redraw) want to help out contact me via email or via IRC. I'll need a sample of what you've done.

Anyway, on to the releases.

Full Metal Panic Sigma 36 (!Sigma36) A cool little story in this one. The end is pretty funny too.

Holyland 104-105 (!Holy104 !Holy105) The beat goes on.

Jackals 41 (!Jack41) Things are starting to get complicated.

Sengoku (!Sen24) War War War!

Bye

.:18·13·23:. «!GGpX-Sleep» So Nitouryu
.:18·13·27:. «!GGpX-Sleep» wanna write a news post?
.:18·14·02:. «@Nitouryu» not really
.:18·14·07:. «@Nitouryu» maybe Darknova wants
.:18·14·26:. «!GGpX-Sleep» Darknova42 wanna write one?
.:18·15·09:. «Darknova42» uh,
.:18·15·30:. «Darknova42» not really
.:18·15·38:. «!GGpX-Sleep» Deus_Gear wanna write a news post?

Since nobody wants to, guess I'll have to.

Two things...

First, we've made volume packs for a few series.

Battle Royale 2: Blitz Royale Volume 2
Boku to Issho Volume 3
Full Metal Panic Sigma Volumes 6-8 (Btw, I strongly recommend re-downloading volume 8 if you archive manga.)
Me And The Devil Blues Volume 3
Shonan Jun'ai Gumi Volume 10

None have triggers, so you'll just have to log on and figure out how to use the bot to download them.

Second thing, a release! Just so you know, if we don't announce that we drop a project, odds are we haven't dropped it. It just so happens that some us don't scanlate stuff 24/7 (Unfortunately) and that we have more than 1 specific project to work on.

So!

Holyland 101-103 (!Holy101 !Holy102 !Holy103) And so begins volume 11. Hoping to have our next release around this weekend.

[Edit]

10minutes later, just about after I finish writing this...

.:18·27·40:. «@Deus_Gear» no
.:18·27·57:. «!GGpX-Sleep» Too late, Russian.
.:18·28·00:. «@Deus_Gear» lol
.:18·28·45:. «!GGpX-Sleep» You good for nothing rusky...
.:18·28·50:. «!GGpX-Sleep» Making me write that news post.

Russians. Sigh.

[Russian Edit]

So tradedaemon, our friend from Izumo no Ryuu and partners for Mercenary Pierre, asked us if we'd be interested in picking up Wolf Guy. Since I owed him a favor - he translated Garouden for us - I accepted.

And so, here's our newest project, Wolf Guy.

Wolf Guy 75 (!Wolf75 !WG75)

One of these days I'll make a post about goals for 2011, since we didn't have a Dec 31st release this year.

See you.

PS. Fucking Russians. (See below)


-russians ᕙ(ᓐᓑᓒ)ᕗ

Fucking Russians.

Although, Team Canada...



Thanks for playing, though.

So it's been a good ten days or so since our last release -- Our apologies.

Not sure when our next release will be. Maybe later this week if all goes well.

We had a December 31st release planned, but everyone involved in those releases (myself included) was either just too busy with real life stuff or wanted to take a break.


So yeah, just so you know.

PS, I knew I shouldn't have given a camera to the Russian. Bad things always happen when you let the Russians do as they please. Speaking of Russians, they are going to get SPANKED by Canada tomorrow night in hockey. Can't wait.

Love, drunk_russian.

So today's the long-anticipated Christmas release.

Like I said in one of the previous posts, we're not releasing everything in one shot.

So stick around on IRC, why doncha?

And let's go.

Battle Royale 2 ch19 (!BR19 !BR219)

And that's all, folks. [66 chapters] Hope you enjoyed your Christmas.

Mom: "Yes, you can Illu."

Scrap that!
In all seriousness over these years I have seen so many bad online readers that picture downsize our releases on so many levels.
Nightmares, pure nightmares.

We are putting a big fat end to that.

First of all - we have been and will always stay an IRC based group and release our stuff using bots.

Secondly - we also had and still have a DDL site. Manga-Download It's been there for several eons. But not like anyone knows or cares about it.

Thirdly - while I don't fancy Online Readers as they alienate fanbase from actual providers-scanlators, I do believe that having our own Reader that won't do a 3rd degree JPG resizing will prove to be a good solution to current situation.

So take a peek at our BETA online reader:


For now we want to test how it handles pressure and a lot of stuff still has to be uploaded.

• Reader can pre-load pages in advance to give you a more smoother reading experience and it also loads only images not the full website.
• Image size is kept original, but won't go over the borders of your browser(1024x768 monitor and notepad users can take a deep breath).
• There are still some functionality improvements to come.

We expect to get everything completely up and running till Christmas.
So get drunk with your buddies, test it, abuse it and what not, just remember to use protection and then come back and give us some feedback. We would really like to hear your thoughts and input.

Special thanks goes to the guy who coded it, without him none of this would be possible: Woxxy
And thanks to server provider who will run this whole thing and take the bullet if anything happens: Guybrush

Just for a sidenote:
I still couldn't care less about "My university won't let use irc, baww baww" crowd. Change university and take some anti-retard pills. :)

EDIT:
Obviously no one will visit the site unless I release something new.
So here you go: Jackals c40 (on irc !Jack40) and Online Reader as well.
This is just a small 1 chapter spill from what's to come on Christmas :).
