All Good Things Come to an End

The last month has shown me that I don't even have the spare time to sustain Arpeggio and 7o3x. Therefore I'm dropping them in hopes of opening the path for other groups eager to jump on them. I know that at least the /ak/ group might be interested in Arpeggio, so bother them about it.

I'd like to thank everyone for their support. I'm feeling much better now. To everyone else who suffers from depression: stay strong.

I'm glad to have brought these wonderful manga to you. Thank you for reading them.

    o god noo but if you have depression try to do something new also remember a mens worth is not value by the things it has but for the time he has gotten up.

    Thanks for all your great work.

    I think it's a real shame, as I don't see anyone else translating a lot of your projects, like Noririn, Nanika Mochigatte Masu ka and Ryuushika Ryuushika. Arpeggio of Blue Steel might find a good home though, let's hope.

    You may be interested to know that many members of the American competitive quizzing community took great pleasure in reading your translations of 7o3x. On behalf of us all, thank you very much. It's been great.

    Thanks dude, don't worry. Someone will some day scanlate your titles if they find them interesting. If not that means no one liked it that much. That's what I said to myself when I stopped a long some time ago.

    About the depressing thingie...stress is not good so it's a good thing you stop scanlating. You should drop WOW too :p Get a light lamp, I dunno how dark it gets but it helps. Exercising helps too and so does reading manga instead of scanlating. ;)

    Good luck with your future life. If you one day want to come back to the scanlation community, you do just that. No one can stop you from leaving or come back. It's your choice, you are in control. All the best!

    Ah ... so no more 7O3X eh

    I was brought here by Pokéspe originally, but I'm so glad I found as wonderful a series as 7O3X, and thank you, sincerely, for all the hard work you put in scanlating that series. Still super-hopeful that it will be picked up by someone or other, but in any case, thank you for these 28 chapters.

    Wish you all the best.

    same boat as auriga. luckily, the thing that led me to check was a new release of 7o3x by another group! your legacy will not fade, for it is you that has introduced the fanbase of this series :)
