Break Continues (sort of)

So yeah, as the title says, my semi-break will unfortunately continue. My previous claim that the break will end around September is now retracted and changed to this December. As a former manga-reading leecher, I know how much it sucks when people provide free service really slowly. It is quite ironic how this break came now of all times because when asked some time ago if I really plan to finish the 60-volume-behemoth that is Sangokushi, I jokingly responded I would cockblock everyone by disappearing at the climax of Red Cliffs. So feel free to complain to your heart's content. It's probably nothing compared to the guy who once complained about how I couldn't release new Vinland Saga chapters faster than Yukimura could draw them.

Once again, the semi-break means I'll only translate the monthlies, meaning no Sangokushi and Tomorrow's Joe (I've found a volunteer to help me with this so you don't need to worry/apply). In case you didn't read the small update on Zero, that's been switched to volume releases since weekly scans are no longer to be found on the internet as far as I'm sure. As for Math Girls, I'll try my best to finish the final volume since I initially picked it up ignoring my semi-break status.

P.S. Oh, almost forgot, the new Punpun volume is going to be out in Japan this October 28th. If my kind and generous raw provider buys and sends me scans like before, I probably will get to it quickly enough since we all know SHIT WILL PROBABLY GO DOWN in the newest volume.

    No worries bro, everyone here know you for your awesome job. If the usual stuff don't let you work around for a while it's no big deal, because when you return shit will get done again.
    Good luck with anything that keeps you busy!

    >I couldn't release new Vinland Saga chapters faster than Yukimura could draw them.
    This and how you stopped scanlating Zero right when it got to a crazy cliffhanger are my favorite complaints.

    meh, not like you actually took a break anyway. Rest up, heal yourself and we'll be here waiting, you magnificent bastard, you.

    Also, any idea what your next project will be?

    A free shady service has been denied of me! I must do the valiant thing and take to the internet, where my opinion is well respected and researched to correct this travesty of justice and assume my rightful place as king of the internet, starting with complaining right here I shall strike my first blow towards kingship!

    I love run-on sentences.

    You really don't have to worry, we respect your decision to take a break.
    You are an amazing scanlator, who continuously release great quality works on a tight schedule.
    You deserve a break if you want one.
    Good luck with the personal stuff or whatever which keeps you busy and/or if you want to a little vacation from all this work then I hope you will have a terrific one.
    Thanks as always for your hard work.

    Just noticed that some of the mediafire links in the "Complete" section don't link properly. Namely all that have "myfiles.php" in them.
    Takemitsu Samurai, Waters and Seizon, for example.
    Files are still available by searching through mediafire.com/hox

    Take a break and enjoy your time :) Btw, what happened to Historie? You didn't release it for the last three months. Is it on a break or something?

    Hey, Hox, I know you've got quite the workload already, but since there's no Zero at the moment, could you consider doing another Fukumoto Manga, Hero- Gyakkyou No Touhai? It's only three volumes, so it's not a massive amount.

    Historie's has been on a break for the last 2 months, but there should be a new chapter this month coming out in a couple days.

    As for the Fukumoto's Hero, the answer is a no.

    Hello Hox. Since you scanlated Mirai Nikki, will you be doing Big Order too?

    http://myanimelist.net/manga/28697/Big_Order

    It's the from the same creator as you might have heard.

    It's gonna start publishing tomorrow according to MAL (26 September).

    Probably not, since I'm not a fan of Esuno Sakae or anything. The only reason why I picked up Mirai Nikki was because of Yuno, so unless there's a character as memorable as her in Big Order, I doubt it.
