Not...dead...yet

Hey there. You've probably noticed that I've touched up the look of the blog a bit. What can I say? I'm a busy guy these days. A year just flew by when I wasn't looking. Anywho, I'm actually partially done with the first chapter of NTT. Hopefully I'll get this done before next weekend since I'll be away on vacation for three days then. Stay tuned.

Surprise!

No I'm not dead. Although I wouldn't blame you guys if you thought that. I got distracted by various things and then got sick which delayed things even further. I did manage to finish Yellow Pop finally. You can get the final chapter at Conan's website.

I've decided to not do Stu-Hiro's new series Bakamatsu Alien. Quite frankly, after having read a few chapters of it, I've come to the conclusion that it's not very good :/ Nicchi-scans did well when it first started out by focusing on only one project anyway. NTT will be the only series I will work on. I will still occasionally do some other stuff like doujinshi or chapters out of a compilation I like. Any of the other stuff I talked about doing earlier has been put on the back burner for now. Tomorrow the site will be getting a cleanup of the links section. Hopefully I'll get around to actually doing the first chapter of NTT soon since it's been a year almost since I first announced the project.

Still not dead Part 2

My how time flies. I was checking Stu-hiro's blog today, only to discover that's he's just started his latest work! It's a samurai manga called Bakamatsu Alien. I've got a copy of the raw coming in the mail soon but I haven't discussed doing the series with Conan yet. The first chapter is a whopping 60 pages.

Here's a breakdown of our current status:

Yellow Pop: Only one chapter left, but I keep getting distracted by random crap. I have some free time this weekend, so I'm considering finally finishing it. Obviously though, I say a lot of things that don't always happen :P

Negative Twin Towers: I have all of the latest raws including some very nice tank scans thanks to Conan. It's basically been put on hold this whole time because we were planning on finishing Yellow Pop first but obviously that's taken much longer than we wanted.

Otaku no Musume-san: I have everything I need save for the omake pages from the final volume(I can't seem to find a raw of it anywhere). This is pretty low on my priority list though since we still haven't even started NTT yet, and the arrival of Stu-Hiro's newest series is pretty big news.

Other: There are 4 more random dojin I translated a long time ago but haven't had them edited yet. Conan and I are planning on releasing them some time after Yellow Pop is finished. Otaku no Triangle is probably next on my list in regards to doujinshi I want to translate. I have many others I want to do, but right now doujinshi in general is probably a ways off since I really need to start working on our regular projects.

Upcoming Projects

Just as Conan announced earlier on his blog, we will be picking up the series Negative Twin Towers. I first want to finish the last two chapters of Yellow Pop before I begin translating this series, and I'm also kind of busy at the moment studying for the N1 Japanese Language Proficiency Test in December. I intend to have some chapters done before then, but the releases will probably come out slowly until after my exam is finished.

Most of the omake pages for Otaku no Musume-san are ready, but I'm going to wait until the last volume gets released in December so I can include the omake pages from that as well. As for re-translating the older chapters that haven't been done by Nicchi-scans before, I won't be doing those until I've at least translated a significant portion of Negative Twin Towers. So probably a couple of months from now at the very least.
