Tomorrow's Joe v07 (finished)

Tried my best but Tomorrow's Joe surprisingly has a lot of dialogue bubbles and it's taking a tediously long time for me to work my way through it so unfortunately, I don't think I can quite wrap up all of volume 7 by the end of tomorrow. However, I'll upload what I have done for now, which is until the end of Joe's fight with Wolf. I should definitely be able to finish the rest of v7 by the end of the first week of June.

Update: Alright, it's finally done. I think from v8 and on, I'll just release ~30 pages per week instead of trying to do an entire volume in a month because I don't think I can keep that pace up, especially when I want to do Sangokushi and other projects as well.

Historie c69

After another month without Historie, we get a new exciting chapter as the story gears towards the siege of Byzantium and Perinthus. One thing I'm a little confused about this chapter as a person who is not so knowledgeable about classical greek history is the Chares the Hero comment. I believe the war that happened 15 years ago is referring to the Social War but google says nothing about Chares actually fighting and crushing the Persian army. So if there are any history buffs out there, is this just another little historical deviation that Iwaaki is introducing to the story or am I just uninformed?

Also, on an unrelated note as an excited fan, Go Canucks Go! Please make third time be the charm.

Flower

Here's a present from GWR and I for you Matsumoto Taiyou fans. A fully scanlated version of his oneshot, "Flower." A little hard to give a brief synopsis without spoiling the story but it's basically about a certain mask-making family and their son who shuts himself out from the world.

It's actually loosely adapted from the play "Perhaps a Paradise Lies Beyond That Light" by the Kurotent play troupe. The version that GWR scanned from is the special edition that comes with the original script of the play, but I was too lazy to translate it (since I'm really just in it for Matsumoto Taiyou) and they couldn't find anyone to do it so our apologies for that. In any case, I hope you enjoy it!

Also, I know it may look like I'm not really working on waters nor Joe since I'm releasing everything but those two but I actually am. It's just that I'll be releasing those as full volume batches (for waters, I'll be releasing v1 and 2 at the same time since it's complete at 2 volumes) so it'll be awhile before I release them.

Zombies and Penises

Got two short releases for you today. One is the oneshot "Survival of the Dead" by Kigitsu, as previously mentioned in the v6 extra. It's really meant to be a promo for George Romero's film of the same name so you'll have to watch the movie if you want to see what happens after (I haven't watched it myself but I've heard some negative things about it).

The second release is an infamous Berserk doujin released at Comiket 79 by Studio Tar titled "Shiru Shiru Schierke," also known as the Penislayer doujin. It's obviously 18+ material, so you are forewarned. But in any case, for a H-doujin, it really is quite an excellent piece. Faithful artstyle that even Miura himself would commend as well as being flat out hilarious. Enjoy!

Kongming's Persuasion

Chapter 136 is out, which means volume 24 is now translated and what a volume it was! And the best part is that it'll only get better on from here, since this war is only just getting started. Sadly, it'll be awhile before I get to the next volume. My plans for May is working on Joe, finishing up Waters, and translating several other projects that I'm working on with other groups. So my apologies if I can't get around to translating more mind games between Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang this month.

Franken Fran c50

We sure are getting a lot of Fran these days, aren't we? Well, we should technically be all caught up now with the latest chapter so don't expect the next chapter until a few more weeks. However, Amuro and I will shortly be doing another Kigitsu oneshot titled "Survival of the Dead" (which was mentioned in the v6 extra) since Vexed has it scanned. Enjoy the chapter.

Franken Fran c49 and v6 Extra

Here's the v6 extra and c49 of Franken Fran, brought to you by Amuro and Vexed as usual. Yeah, I don't like the colour scheme for Gavrill either. In any case, c50 should be coming shortly by next week or so.

Sangokushi v24 (last updated May 1)

I assume the Ashita no Joe fans will hate me for this but I've decided to do Sangokushi v24 before getting started on Joe. Partly because doing Punpun v8 delayed me back a week and a half so if I don't do v24 now, I wouldn't be able to fill my monthly quota, but also partly because I reeeeaaaaaallllly want to do this volume and get to the Battle of Red Cliffs. So my apologies again to Joe fans. Meanwhile for the Sangokushi fans, enjoy chapter 129 with Zhuge Liang being a one-man army debate team.

Sometimes, the best way for a diplomat to forge an alliance with a nation is to insult every officer and its leader. Also, what's the deal with Sun Quan forgetting about Zhou Yu? He's only like, the most important and talented person in all of Wu.

>implying that Zhuge Liang had no idea

 And so begins one of the most memorable rivalries in Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Incompetent!? I'll show him who's incompetent by walking into my own death trap! BRILLIANT. On another note, keen readers will realize this chapter mentions another story involving King Wen, not to be confused with Duke Wen, who was also mentioned previously in v22.

In the original novel, Liu Bei's pretty much clueless about the whole assassination thing, which is why I rather like the changes Yokoyama made in making Liu Bei seem more formidable. Also, I know Zhou Yu is looking kind of a like a dick so far (just like in the novel), but you'll see his brilliance soon enough.

Sadly, everyone's favourite former pirate Gan Ning doesn't have too many scenes in Sangokushi. But he will have one particularly memorable scene a few volumes later so we'll have to make do with that.

Goodnight Punpun v8

With chapters 85-89 done, that wraps up volume 8 of Goodnight Punpun. Quite an excellent volume, indeed. I complained about Asano's text heavy approach on my previous site and wished he would pay more attention on the visual side of things and, lo and behold, that's exactly what he does in v8 by playing around with the pyramid representation of Punpun. Since v8 was released Feb.26 this year, don't expect v9 to be out until around 4 months or so from now and that's not taking into account of the time that it takes my kind anonymous raw provider having to go buy and scan it.

Fran and Phase 20

So I know it's been quite awhile since the last Franken Fran release, but here's a new chapter and the special oneshot  Phase 20 (also done by Kigitsu, Franken Fran's mangaka) to make up for that! As usual, thanks go to Vexed for the scans and Amuro for the editing and his jokes (he's always responsible for those jokes at the end). Also, expect the special v6 omake in the near future.
