Things are pretty crazy in the world right now, but I'm definitely not dead yet as either a person or a manga translator. I intended to return to translating back in June, but... better late than never? Much thanks to those were worried enough about me to email and ask if I was doing alright. I definitely didn't have corona or anything serious like that. I was just busy with work and moving (stayed in 3 separate countries in the past 2 months, including some self-quarantine time). In any case, I'm back in action and here are my immediate plans for the foreseeable future. I plan to translate 2-3 chapters per week, but that may not always correlate to 2-3 releases per week because some projects I merely do the translation scripts for, while for others, I do everything. I'll be rotating across the following projects:
Ad Astra (just released a chapter, check the post below)
Donki Kourin
Kamui-Den
Planet of Sutakola
Shiji (I just finished v4, check the post below this)
In addition, I managed to get another copy (because I didn't want to rip up my original ones) of Debonair Drive which I talked a little about many years ago, and once I scan the raws for that, I'm going to put that into rotation as well. Hopefully I can get some chapters of it done by December of this year.
If you have any other questions about any of my projects and plans, please feel free to ask in the comment section below.
It's great to see you back! Honestly I'm more interested in your blogs than scanlations haha.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with everything. Always love reading your translations!
ReplyDeleteExcited for more Shiji
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear you're alright and back in action.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Donki Kourin ? Any plans or..?
Oh yeah, lol. Even I forgot about that. I'll put it into rotation, my bad.
DeleteHaha, I had a hunch you forgot about it 😅 it's cool though. Glad I brought it up, I'm always thirsty for more Usamaru Furuya.
DeleteGlad to hear from you!
ReplyDeleteSo happy that you are going to continue Planet of Sutakola, I've read everything by Katou Shinkichi that's been translated and I love his style.There's another manga by him but there's not much info about it, 流浪青年シシオ/Rurou Seinen Shishio, would you consider doing some research and, maybe, translate it? Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like Paperakyu just finished. Any chance it'll get picked up this decade?
ReplyDeletei just came to see if gambling emperor zero part 3 was ever scanlated, but i'm glad to see you still doing great scanlations. hope you are well, and thank you for all the great things you've helped me experience.
ReplyDeleteWe're glad you are back and safe. I've been a fan of your work for years. I'm also excited that you are continuing Wakusei Sutakola.
