Arpeggio of Blue Steel ch 18

We're going into magazine chapters here, so the quality won't be as good. It'll depend on whose raw I use. I used the Beast Knights' (the Chinese group; their name is a reference to Hoshi no Samidare, which their leader translated) raw for this chapter rather than the Share raw.

Anyways, I-401 vs. U-2501 starts in this chapter. Enjoy.

Magical Girl Kazumi Magica ch 7 script

I think this manga lacks a clear direction (starting to turn into monster-of-the-week), though I like the latest chapters nonetheless. It's a nice look into what shenanigans one can do with the Soul Gems.

7o3x ch 9

I didn't know that buzzers were that expensive as well. It seems that even toy buzzers cost more than 5000 yen.

Please read: A personal appeal from /a/nonymous scanlations

Ladies and gentlemen, it's no secret that scanlation isn't profitable. In fact, most of the scanlation community probably prefers it to stay that way. I for one have already given up hope on staying keeping the costs as low as possible, because I keep picking up manga that I have to import (it can't be helped). Here's a look at the estimated costs:
  • Mudazumo:
    $15 / two weeks - Kindai Mahjong Issues
    $15 / six months - Volumes
    $420 / year

  • 7o3x:
    $19 / month - Young Ace Issues (depending on vendor)
    $15 / four months - Volumes
    $273 / year

  • Nanika:
    $40 / two months - good! Afternoon Issues
    $15 / year? - Volumes
    $255 / year

  • Pokemon Special (volumes only):
    $15 / three months - Volumes
    $60 / year

  • Arpeggio of Blue Steel:
    (~$40 - Volumes 1-3)
    $15 / four months - Volumes (4+)
    $45 / year

  • Noririn:
    $15 / six months - Volumes
    $30 / year

  • Ryuushika Ryuushika:
    $15 / year - Volumes
    $15 / year

  • Kindaichi:
    No cost right now, but I'm considering importing volumes for future cases, since the scans aren't very good

  • Kazumi:
    No cost

  • Kaibutsu Oujo:
    No cost
The total comes out to be $1068 per year. My savings has pretty much stagnated over the last year and is beginning to decline. While it isn't anywhere near zero as of this writing, I would appreciate any support, no matter how small.

(Note: Pokemon Special BW has a special account on its own. If you're donating for BW, make sure to tell me somehow)

I have mentioned on /a/ in June about how I have a surplus of Eva figures that come with the Young Ace issues, and some people have expressed interest. I'll definitely auction them off in a few weeks.

Kaibutsu Oujo ch 63 script

This loop arc is finally over, which means I don't really have an excuse to slack around. Well, until chapter 70, but chapter 71 was pretty awesome. I'll start to actually release scripts every month...I hope.

Pokemon Special scheduling

I'm currently putting together the schedule for August and September. I have more than 40 chapter to do in those two months, which isn't that big of a deal. However, the problem is that it's divided among nine series (eight out of the nine that I'm doing right now plus Mudazumo 2). To reduce my headache and evenly distribute release time, I'll put Pokemon Special vol 39 and the overdue BW chapters in the same slot.

However, I want to ask where you guys want me to put the BW chapters: in front of vol 39, in the middle, or after? If it's after, then it will get delayed into mid-September.

All of the heavy cruisers are pretty hot, though I want to see the aircraft carriers.

Demon 72 dropped

FTH has let me know that they have dropped Demon 72. I have no intention of working on this by myself, so I will drop it as well in order to focus on Kaibutsu Oujo.

Arpeggio of Blue Steel ch 15

Time's up on the error in chapter 13. The current year in this manga is supposed to be 2056 (according to the cover flap), and the expiration date on the card that Makie pulls out is 2050. Well, it might not really be an error. She never gets to use the card, so we may never know.

There's another error in this chapter, though it's intentional. A character points it out in the next chapter.

Arpeggio of Blue Steel ch 14

Quick release before the rest of the stuff I'm watching this season get released and before I get swamped with other work over the weekend.

I forgot to tell you guys that Ark-Performance may have made a minor error in the previous chapter (Hint: it has to do with the timeline). First person to find it gets absolutely nothing.

In any case, enjoy the exciting conclusion to the battle.

Arpeggio of Blue Steel ch 13

I've just noticed that for some reason, I keep calling the acoustic torpedoes "sonar torpedoes." "Sonar torpedo" should be somewhat correct, but no one calls them that. Anyways, you can go to the wiki to see all of the errors that I've made so far, though I'm sure that there's more that I haven't caught yet.

Anyways, shit is about to get real.
