Kindaichi Case Files: The Legendary Vampire Murders ch 4

Young Ace 2011-04 scanning has been delayed, NOT due to the earthquake, tsunami, nuclear meltdown, and other assorted apocalyptic events over in Japan, to the end of this month, and so is 7o3x ch 5.

I've come to a realization that manga series that are fun to read are not necessarily fun to translate. For example, this chapter had 400-500 text bubbles in 23 pages. I can see why so many groups have dropped this.

Be aware that I may drop the series after I finish this case, or I might have to seriously rethink the way I'm approaching this, like doing a joint or hiring some people. In order to keep the quality consistent and source files open for dependent groups, I decided to turn down KAW's offer for the rest of this case (well, it's more like I never responded to their mail). In case you don't F5 Manga-Updates all day long like me, Easy Going Scans just picked up the File series (the first one), so that could be a small possibility.

  2. On the bottom of page 112, it should say "THERE'S still more..." instead of "THERE still more..."

    Thanks for the translation!

  4. Good work!

    I feel for you though. I'm a translator too (BB Project from Easy Going Scans actually) and boy, some mangas are really tough to translate due to being text-heavy. I work with 40-50 pages long of stuff like this so I understand your plight!
