Happy Lunar New Year with Otoboku chapter 17

Actually we were supposed to release this yesterday since it was the first day of the Tet holiday, the biggest traditional celebration of my country. However, we had to delay the release due to computer problems. It's really annoying when the only PC with Internet connection in my PC is the most screwed up. My old man has just temporarily "fixed" it, but no one can tell when it will go nuts again.

Anyway, as we promised, here's chapter 17 of the manga adaptation of the legendary trap eroge. The last 4 chapters have also been translated long ago, but the typesetting is still in progress. Judging how the PCs in my house are, I cannot promise anything about the speed. Besides, unlike wow!scans, we have been a slow group for years, so you should expect slow release.

Regarding IchiHei, I know that many of you on mangafox and animesuki have been waiting, and we've been working on chapter 5, but it won't be fast since we are focusing on finishing Otoboku first. After that we'll try to push IchiHei and Otoboku 2 (3 volumes in total) out faster. For now enjoy the release, and Happy New Year to you all.

Dracu-Riot! Mini Drama #1

Unlike the previous video, this time I had 50119 do the encode. The filesize sure has increased, but I'm sure it's worth the extra space. Enjoy some random conversations on vampires and panties. I'm going back to review for my exam.

Dracu-Riot! Character Song Vol.1 CM

Just some stuff I did with Macurai to relax. Sorry to disappoint you fans of Otoboku and IchiHei. I have Otoboku chapter 17 and IchiHei chapter 5 pending for QC, but right now I still have 2 fucking subjects left for my final exam. I have to concentrate on reviewing or I won't get a scholarship this time. My exam will end on Jan 14, and then I'll have 3 weeks to do scanlation again. Meanwhile, take your time reading other stuff.

P/S : The source file is from Youtube, so the quality kinda sucks. We have experimented to denoise to achieve better quality, but it's not worth since the filesize skyrocketed with little quality gained, so we decided to mux the source file directly with the subs. Well, not that it matters anyway.

Edit : We need more proofreaders and manga editors. Come join us if you're interested.

Project updates

After an unexpected turn of events, we have decided to resume Porfy no Nagai Tabi. This time it will be a joint with Licca Fansubs as announced on their blog. There are a few reasons for this :

1. I'm occupied with translating, fixing typesetting, and doing QCing for our manga projects.
2. Translating 2 versions by myself is really boring.
3. Licca can translate much faster than we do.
4. Most of our fansub staff members don't have much time to spend on fansubbing like before. ManiacDC has his job, and I'm now a senior in university while spending 3 hours a day learning Japanese. Other members have their own IRL stuff to do as well.

Basically, joining hands with another group will give us advantages and motivation to continue with the series. In this case it will be done in a pretty unusual ways, since each group will work at its own pace and release different versions. If you want hardsubs or faster speed, visit Licca's blog. If you need English softsubs or Vietnamese subs, here is the place you'll get them.

This time we will have more members for the project in order to boost the speed. The tasks will be divided as follow :
- Vietnamese translation : tuandatle
- Vietnamese editing & scene timing : me (I updated my Aegisub for this purpose)
- English editing : probably Mignonette, since he's our fastest editor. Anyone who is interested is welcomed for the position.
- Encoding and QCing : ManiacDC
==================================================
Another series we will be doing is Otoboku 1. As some people may have read wow!scans's blog, Yamada has agreed to transfer the project to us. I have already finished my translations for the remaining chapters a month ago, but editing and typesetting take time. We will not release quickly, but a chapter a month should be okay.
==================================================
Finally, we have secured the raws for the last chapters of Oto x Maho. We'll try our best to push them out asap. So see you in a while!

Ichiro Heian chapter 4 released

Sorry for the wait. We planned on releasing this sooner, but the QCing process took longer than expected, so we had to delay the release. Anyway, this is the most difficult chapter of IchiHei that we've done so far. Classical Japanese is difficult as fuck (thank goodness asm65816 was good at it; he's truly one of the best J-V translators on the Internet), plus the raw for this chapter was annoying as hell. Well, enough with the rant. For now feel free to enjoy the chapter.

Ichiro Heian chapter 3

Well, it kinda surprised me this afternoon when I saw the latest comment on IchiHei chapter 2. We know many of you can't wait for the next chapter, but please keep it in mind that we are not speedscan. We are slow not because we don't have raws. We have only a few people, and we also have real life stuff to do, like work or studying.

I'm pretty sure that many of you are reading weekly manga, and there are groups that release very quickly, but we are not them. We have been doing scanlation at a very slow pace for years, and we are not going to change that policy. Whenever something is fully done, we put it on this website, and that's it. We don't rush because we don't feel the need to do that. You may be impatient to wait, but 2 weeks aren't long if you see how long it takes us to scanlate Oto x Maho (that's the only series we are waiting for raws btw).



One more thing is that this manga isn't easy to translate at all. Right now I still haven't finished my translation on chapter 4 simply because some parts of it are as difficult as hell. Remember that Kobayashi Jin is not to be underestimated. The language he uses in his manga can fuck up translators who are still far from reaching fluency in Japanese like me, thus making them spend a lot of time to deliver a proper translation. I think I may have to spend one or two more weeks to finish the script, since I'm currently spending like 5 hours a day just to study kanji. For that reason, you may expect chapter 4 coming in 1 month or even longer. For now just enjoy chapter 3 while waiting. See ya!

Suzushiro Nagisa no Shuchou 3 - fortissimo EXS//Akkord:nächsten Phase

I found a short fan-made video on youtube, and apparently it was from nicovideo. Since it was quite easy, we decided to sub it as a way to relax once in a while. If you have played fortissimo EXA before, I think you should like it.
