Nnekon — Kouhei Shibata Sketchbook (!Neko01 & !Neko03) — Be amazed! A stalled project has been revived, thanks to no other than 1,000 monkeys! It turns out they are really good at Japanese. Where is ch02? I have explained already this before but here we go — this book is a collection of 10 oneshots, of which ch02 (Nnekon) and ch06 (Splash) were already done directly from Harta magazine a while ago. But now we have the compiled book and will do them in sequence. Enjoy!

Good morning, As I’m writing this to you, there’s a small snowstorm brewing outside. Kizu 71 (!Kizu71) – The drama intensifies, the twists come and go! Thank you as usual to Hokuto no Gun for their help on the series, see you next week! (I’m pressed for time, blame that for the uninspired newspost)

Good Sunday morning, Another new project, yeah. We’ve had this one in the works since 2019 and cleaning this series is quite the task. One of the more unique cleaning requirements due to the amount of greys and lack of solid whites/blacks. The Sword of Alexander (!SOA01) – So, how exactly can I describe this series… It’s authored by Baku Yumemakura, a known author for novels and has gotten involved in a few mangas. We scanlated a series authored by him called Garouden a few years ago. These are two…

Good Friday morning! So today we’re introducing to you all the natural continuation of the previous Dino series we were working on, The Blue World. The atmosphere for this series will be a little different from the previous one, but I won’t go into detail as to why. It’s a fun series, and of course it’s by our man Hoshino Yukinobu. The Blue World 01 (!BW01) – This is kind of a prologue chapter of sorts, where certain things are being set into motion. You’ll see soon enough. As usual,…

Sup! I never really thought I would have the luck to work on another Furuya Minoru manga, but here we are. In general, there is just something alluring with the way Furuya fleshes out characters in his works. It’s always a captivating read to say the least. Actually Ciguatera was one of my first Seinen mangas I read, scanlated by Mangascreener back in 2005… what a time it was, early unfiltered web, everything felt so magical, checking their website for that good stuff, reading forums, downloading those zip files straight…

Good morning, Short on time as usual, but I hope you all had good Holidays. Kizu 69 (!Kizu69) – Send the cavalry, I say!à Thanks as usual to the fine people at Hokuto no Gun for their help on the series. Go say hi.

Hello, and welcome to 2022. The amount of corny, overplayed jokes I feel like making are endless. So, I’ll refrain. Opium 29 (!Opium29) – This will be our last non-Kizu release for a few weeks, we’re all kind of busy these next few weeks. Plus, this is the month of the year where I scan the bulk of the volumes I have laying around. 95% of it will never get scanlated, I already know, but hey, a guy can still dream, can’t he? For example, I scanned something in 2012…

Good morning, Happy New Years Eve. I hope you’re all going to have a wonderful 2022. I also hope life starts going back to normality as opposed to a new wave of lockdowns we’re getting here. But alas… Opium 28 (!Opium28) – And so conludes one arc, to start the transition into another. Something that you’ll often hear me refer to as, The Rusky Arc! Enjoy.

Good morning, We’re a tiiiiiny bit late, but hey. Things came up. Kizu 68 (!Kizu68) – The beginning of v10 and some drama unfolds. (Btw, how’d they end up on the roof?) Opium 27 (!Opium27) – Speaking of a new volume, we’re almost done the current arc before getting into something that you might hear me say with joy soon. I can’t say it yet because spoilers & stuff, but it’s the type of content that’s right up my alley. By the way, we’ll be starting on Blue World soon,…

Good morning, Blue Hole 23 (!BH23) – Another one bites the dust. It’s always a good day when we can finish another Hoshino Yukinobu series. A big thank you as usual to Hokuto no Gun for helping out on the series. We’ve already started working on the sequel, Blue World. Next release won’t be next week, but probably the week after (or the week after that). We shall see. By the way, if any of you know any good translator that want to work on some hard sci-fi from Hoshino,…
