"Into Zekrom...!!"

(Left = Reburst, Right = Special)

Wait, what? Is there something I missed here?

Pokemon Special BW ch 06 raw, Reburst ch 01-04 raws (from Club Sunday)

No missing pages this time, I promise.

I'll get around to this after Mudazumo. By the way, the balance is now $9.20.

Anyways, it appears Pokemon Fronti-...excuse me, Pokemon Reburst ended after 5 chapters. I don't think they even made enough pages for a 200-page volume. According to a recent interview that the chief editor of Shounen Sunday had with Natalie.mu, it "had been in the works since 3 years ago".

Update: Damn, I should have read on. "Sorry, the above image is a hoax." (すみません、上の画像はウソです。)

I just noticed that chapters 1 through 4 were all on Club Sunday in one form or another. All of those raws were uploaded onto scan sites before, but in case you're all too lazy to clean them, here are perfect raws from Club Sunday.

I have no plans at all to translate this manga.

Today in Pokemon Manga

About Reburst, it...looks kinda stupid, to be honest. The dude combines with his Pokemon, like in one of the later seasons of Digimon:

Since Pokemon Special is already effectively weekly (it isn't actually weekly, but it acts as if it is), I cannot pick up another weekly. If you look at my past year, I've only translated about 200 chapters. After April 2011, I will be translating:

By myself:
Pokemon Special	about weekly
Mudazumo Naki Kaikaku	biweekly
Noririn	biweekly
7o3x	monthly
Ryuushika Ryuushika	monthly
With FTH:
Kaibutsu Oujo	monthly
Demon 72	bimonthly
With Animexis:
Nanika Mochigattemasu ka	bimonthly
????? ?????	ended; 10 chapters
With Shini-Tan:
Kazumi Magica	monthly
Oriko Magica?	not serialized

If you add up all of the estimated number of chapters (weekly = 52 chapters, biweekly = 26, monthly = 12, bimonthly = 6), you get 164. The actual amount is smaller, because of breaks, especially with Mudazumo (about a break every 3 chapters). Also, this doesn't take into account the page rates of each manga. Nevertheless, that leaves barely enough room for Pokemon Reburst. I would rather dedicate that space to other (ended) manga, and other hobbies.

The only conceivable ways in which I would pick up Reburst is if 1) I go crazy or 2) an overwhelming majority of fans want me to drop Special and pick up Reburst. Both of them seem fairly unlikely at this moment. Besides, if there is a overwhelming majority, then a bigger group would've already picked it up.

I would be willing to mentor (but not directly lead or manage) a new group if someone else gathers enough dedicated members, including another translator.

Anyways, back to Special, it seems that the last issue was a big fat lie. It is continuing in Shogaku Yonensei. The notice that I cut out did say that it was ending, but I guess it just meant that the arc is ending, not the entire serialization. I think that this is another arc of BW.
