Cyber Blue ch 5, KO ch 34 redux

Back to our regular Cyber Blue. At least a good guy doesn't die this chapter. Seriously, Fatso, that drug-selling kid, Tom...

Cyber Blue ch 5


Ala-Atra is disintegrating quickly because several members joined the military. What's with scanlators and the military? I just got a recruitment call from USMC this afternoon. Is translating manga part of national security?

Anyways, fortunately, the KO team isn't part of the mess. Releases will now be by "For the Halibut". Chapter 34 with professional typesetting and editing was just released, 36 will follow soon.

KO 34 Redux

Rainbow Ep 1 Sub Draft (up to 6:00)

Inspired by X Nebula's Night Raid sub, I started a Rainbow sub. After 6 minutes through, I realized that I suck at subbing. I will probably ask the Chinese subbing KTXP to lend me their subs so I don't have to time it myself.

In any case, here's the first 6 minutes if I eventually choose to abandon it, or if someone else wants to pick it up.
Rainbow Ep 1 Sub Draft (up to 6:00)

It's translated mostly with the first chapter of the manga, with Chinese-to-English filling in the rest. I'm horrible at spoken Japanese, so some of the retranlations may be inaccurate.

Edit: Oh, and can anyone direct me to tutorials on timing and styling? Thanks

Edit 2: "We are recruiting a TLC for RAINBOW. Translation is almost complete, as is editting and typesetting and other misc. stuff."

I guess applying for Commie's Rainbow TLC sounds easier, nvm lol.

Edit 3: Apparently, the position is filled (?). nvm, I guess. I hope they release soon

Hanako to Guuwa no Tera ch 10

Continuing our tour of dropped manga, here's Hanako to Guuwa no Tera. Many of you might recognize those faces, and for a good reason. The author of Hanako is Sakae "3-faces" Esuno, the author of Mirai Nikki. This is his first manga. Unfortunately, there's no yandere in Hanako, which is why it ended after 4 volumes.

Hanako to Guuwa no Tera focuses on "Folklore Detective" Asou Daisuke, who specializes in supernatural cases involving allegories, urban legends, etc. Hanako is his loli allegory companion, who can warp through toilets, and Kanae is his love interest/secretary whose life he saves in the first chapter.

Hanako vol 3 and 4 Raws

Edit: Also, I finally claimed a generous donation given by a kind Danish anon. It's $51 after fees. I would like to import some volumes (Mudazumo vol 4, Genkaku Picasso vol 2), but the overhead for shipping on Amazon jp is ¥3000. If you are or you know a scanlator who wants to import another volume (Pokemon Special, I'm looking at you), I would be willing to split shipping costs.

I don't have (nor never needed) a credit card, though, so you'll be handling the purchase.

I feel a bit sheepish for accepting the donation for restarting KO translations, since KO 36 is delayed "b/c of Kampfer", according to the editor

Cyber Blue ch 4

Lol, enough shenanigans from yesterday. Crunch time is unexpectedly over, after one day. I'm pretty much free for the next 2 weeks, so expect a new chapter everyday, unless I'm doing the next KO script. I'll probably alternate Cyber Blue with Hanako, Upotte or Himizu, though, to keep things fresh.

Edit: QC is off today...Here's v3 with Credits and page 132

Cyber Blue ch 4 version 3

Oh, and I uploaded the raws to Birdy II (well, 4-15 anyways) and Master Keaton. Birdy II is on GotLurk, but here's the PD raws anyways

Bunch of Stuff Uploaded

Since KO 36 is taking some time, I've uploaded KO 34-37 scripts into the KO MF folder. They're pre-proofread drafts, though.

Kaibutsu Oujo English Scripts

I also finished downloading and repacking the Himizu raws, in case anyone wants it. It's high on the potential projects list, but it'll take a few months for me to get there. I'm not even sure what I want to translate next, Hanako, Kindaichi, or Himizu

Himizu Volume Raws

Also, fuck yea, RoC

Makes up for the horrible Chinese in Senkou no Night Raid

Edit: I was sitting on this, but since the DVDISO is showing no sign of completion, and a brave man is finishing my bad subtitles, here's a DivX rip of Mudazumo, fresh from Share

Cyber Blue ch 3

Keeping the rhythm going

Cyber Blue ch 3

I also put up a page of past, present, and potential projects. It also has nice links in case any other scanlator wants to take up a project. Someday, you'll also be able to vote...

Cyber Blue ch 2

The rest of the chapters are only 20-30 pages (it was in Jump, after all), so they should come out more quickly. Like, around 2-3 days per chapter.
