Happy New Years!

Gotta make a new news post, unfortunately…

So, yeah, you guys can read my horrific writing skills. Eat it, scrub!

Uh– Anyway, we need more staff. It’s (almost) 2009, so we need some new staff to help us out. We need… Well… Every position! Proofreaders, Typesetters, Editors, Typesetters, Translators, Quality Checkers and even Scanners (So I don’t have to scan everything myself :p). If you’re interested, PM either GGpX, antifon, Nitouryu or Zenquibo on #illuminati-manga.

Now, for the releases.

Blood+ Volume 5 (END)

After 2 and a half years, we have finally done Blood+. I’d like to give a big thank you to tokiyasama85 for translating the series all the way through. Also a big thank you to antifon & VyvyanWilde for doing a big part of the work on the last two volumes. I’d also like to thank everyone who did their part in the series. Hopefully Blood+ A won’t take too much to complete :p

Triggers are !Blood05HQ and !Blood05LQ

Full Metal Panic: Sigma Volume 2

Don’t expect volume 3 to come out as fast as volume 2 did. We’ll be working progressively on the chapters, mostly because we have some other things that we have to work on before it.

Trigger is !Sigma02

Manhole Chapters 19v2-20-21

I don’t know how, but there was a huge fuck up in Manhole 19 (Second page) and I can’t explain it. It’s all my mistake. I made a v2 of ch19, and included the fixed page in chapter 20. Anyway, enjoy chapter 20-21.

Mercenary Pierre Chapter 20

This concludes volume 3 of Mercenary Pierre. Only one more volume to go. We’d like to try to finish it soon,

My Street Chapter 01

Well, this is the project I said we’d be doing with RR after One Day ended. My Street is completely different from One Day in many senses. For starters, this is actually a story that continues for multiple volumes. The artstyle is also different; My Street has a “weird” look to it and is also alot less detailed. My Street is very good, and also very difficult to translate. I’d know, I translate it ._.

In any case, we promissed that we’d have 700 chapters released by 2009, and with these chapters we’re at 707 chapters released. 2010 goal: 1,000!

Stay tuned `-‘)

…Oh, did I mention we needed some new staff? :p
