The Eatery For Dining And Drinking c01 (!Eatery01) – A nice 1 volume long Josei series about food and some girl-on-girl stuff, just the way I like my Josei. While we are a majorly Seinen group, I do like my well crafted Josei stories, but we never have translators for them, so big thanks to our new translator holi for working on it!
Kizu 18 (!Kizu18) – Missus is a mighty fine woman if I can say so myself, aint she? One more chap and v03 is a wrap.
There was a bit of a gap in our releases this month, no particular reason, often multiple projects are in different states of “done” and sometimes it converges with us either releasing many things in a short time or nothing for a longer time.
On to some sad news.
The Machine, the Legend, the Man himself — Molokidan has retired from high-seas of translation. The Entity behind HQ translation of many thousand chapters. If you are reading older or bizarre Seinen, you have 100% read his translations at some point. I’m not big with words, so I won’t go an a long tirade, but let it be known that Molokidan was the greatest manga translator I had the pleasure to work with, and I’m sorry for being so slow sometimes, a lot more projects could have been done if I wasn’t busy with my life, but what’s done is done. A big loss to Scanlation community. I wish him all the best and thank you for your tremendous work!
You can learn more about him from this 2010 interview https://www.insidescanlation.com/interviews/molokidan.html
With his departure the following projects are stalled until we can find a new translator:
Dokuro (2002)
Idiot Section Chief
Sasori
The Hard
Thank you and goodbye Molokidan!
Dang, sad to hear Molokidan retired from translating. I was hoping he could help me with reviving a project he formerly did with Golden Roze Scans, but alas, it just wasn’t in the cards.
