Bah, got held up in translating the interview. It's very interesting, though, so give it a read.

Jiya ch 2

Slowpoke here, but I found out while translating the interview that Toriyama and Katsura had that they actually did make an oneshot before Jiya called "Sachie-chan Guu!!". In fact, Jiya is kind of a sequel to that.

Jiya ch 1

I remember that when I accepted this request last October, the requester said that it was like early Christmas. Well, uh, Merry Christmas, I guess.

Anyways, this series is a three-chapter mini series (three-shot?) written by the famous Akira Toriyama and drawn by the not-so-famous Masakazu Katsura (I"s, Zetman). The premise reminds me of Birdy, though half of the enjoyment I get from Birdy is the character herself, so this isn't really an accurate summary. Just read and find out.

Change of Schedule: Oriko Magica, Part 2

Update (April 28th, 2011): The official summary says that Oriko volume 2 is the last one, so everything will be back to normal in July.

Oriko vol 2 was announced. It looks like it's coming out at the usual rate of a volume per month. Anyways, the cover is...interesting.

Rest of April (for once, I'm actually ahead of schedule!):

1. 7o3x
2. Kazumi (the masked cat is "Juubey". I'm not kidding)
3. Ryuushika
4. Jiya

May:

1. Jiya
2. Cat Diary
3. Oriko vol 1 (highest priority)
   
4. Cat Diary
5. Pokemon Special BW
   
6. 7o3x
7. Kazumi
8. Ryuushika
   
9. XXXXXXX XX XXXX XXXXX vol 1
   

June:

1. XXXXXXX XX XXXX XXXXX vol 1
   
2. Oriko vol 2 (highest priority)
3. Pokemon Special vol 39? Still not announced yet.
4. Pokemon Special BW
   
5. 7o3x
6. Kazumi
7. Ryuushika

The rhythm will go on, as long as Oriko is still ongoing. The exact order will change, and not just because this schedule is dependent on the unfortunately false theory that Noririn and Pokemon Special will absolutely not release volumes in this time frame.

FTH said that they're going to release Kaibutsu Oujo monthly now to prevent long gaps, so I will only translate every month now.

March 2011

Update: Kazumi ch 2 arrived; it will take precedence over 7o3x. Also, PS 38 is about arrive and will face the wrath of my iron and/or hairdryer this weekend. Stay tuned.

The next month will look like this:

1. 7o3x ch 4
2. Kazumi ch 2 (depends on when the raw provider sends us the raw)
3. Noririn ch 17 (magazine raw)
4. Kindaichi Case Files vol 38 ch 4-8
   
5. 7o3x ch 5 (depends on when the issue arrives)
   
6. Pokemon Special vol 38
7. Jiya ch 1-3

That's not including Kaibutsu Oujo vol 14, which is coming out on March 9th, and any other joint projects.

The intention is to schedule Pokemon Special vol 38 during Spring Break so I can kill it quickly. The volume just shipped from bk1, so raws will be up in a week or so. However, Kindaichi Case File will preempt Pokemon Special in case I haven't finished it in 3 weeks or so.

In regards to the magazine subscription of Pokemon Special, just imagine this: you're in a Japanese underwater theme park built by a joint Japanese-German pharmaceutical company that has been cut off from the outside world and contaminated by a deadly disease. I am your holographic AI attendant/chief engineer. As long as the crushing reality of international shipping fees haven't destroyed us, I will work my hardest at keeping this going as long as possible. I'm still working things out with PM2K, so it might take a while for the next chapter to arrive.
