Hey, everyone!
Finally, today is the day. We will announce which manga you asked us to scanlate are accepted, and which ones are not, as well as some conditions that go with it.
First, I want to thank you all for participating. I wouldn’t have known most of these awesome titles if you didn’t tell me about it. Unfortunately, for some reasons, we can’t do them all 😦
I hope some other groups will step up and scanlate the ones I’m not capable to do, so we can still enjoy them.
Accepted:
-) Break Shot by Maekawa Takeshi (requested by dot702).
-) Kiteretsu Daihyakka by Fujiko F. Fujio (requested by 野比 のび太).
-) Ringlet by Murakawa Michio (requested by Fiddler).
Though we’ve accepted the above series, there are still a couple of conditions before we can make your dreams come true.
- We’re really really in need of translators! If you can’t help us translate, please help us spread the word that we need translators.
- For other groups who read this: None of these manga (including the accepted ones) is on our “future projects” list yet, so feel free to take them if you think you can do it faster than us. All in all, we only care for the people to be able to read and enjoy these wonderful, unknown, underrated manga.
Considered:
-) Koma Koma by Yonebayashi Shouki.
RAW wanted! Please send me the links of the RAW if you find it!
-) Mash Go! by Komori Yoichi and Yonebayashi Shouki.
RAW wanted!
-) Monga no Daichi by Komori Yoichi and Kikuta Hiroyuki.
RAW wanted!
-) Nijuu Mensou no Musume by Ohara Shinji.
-) Tekken Chinmi by Maekawa Takeshi.
Rejected:
-) Aoki Shinwa Mars by Motoshima Yukihisa.
The sequel of our current project, Kaze no Sylphid. Unfortunately, I don’t have the RAWs for the sequel. I hope you can get the RAWs yourself and read them. I strongly recommend it.
-) Ayatsuri Sakon by Sharaku Maro and Obata Takeshi.
To be honest, I’m a big fan of Obata-sensei and it’d be an honor for me if I could finish this uncompleted project. However, the series was mostly done by another group, and due to the lack of staff, I prefer to work on something longer than just finishing up the last volume of the uncompleted project.
-) Brafman by Kijima Renga.
As we mentioned on the FAQ page, we refuse to work on the series that is still ongoing in Japan. We will re-consider it again when the series is completed.
-) Corseltel no Ryuujitsushi Monogatari by Isurugi Ayuma.
Ailea, don’t worry. I don’t reject this series because it’s under the josei genre. I refuse to work on it because I don’t have the RAWs for it and the series is too long. I love the artwork, though. I hope someone will pick it up someday.
-) Gaku by Ishizuka Sinichi.
Unfortunately, the manga is still ongoing in Japan and it’s way too long 😦
-) Hanada Shounen-shi by Isshiki Makoto.
-) Joou Kishi Monogatari by Shimomura Tomohiro.
This series is too long for 2 translators to handle.
-) Jungle Guu by Kindaichi Renjuurou.
The series is way too long 😦
-) Otogi Matsuri by Inoue Junya.
The series is too long.
-) The Chef by Tsurugina Mai and Katou Tadashi.
I read the first chapter a long time ago and loved it! If I had at least 10 translators to help me work on it, I promise I’d re-consider it. But unfortunately, this manga is waaay too long and there’s no way we can do it with only 2 translators in hand.
I strongly recommend this manga, though. So, for those who understand Japanese and can get the RAWs for this manga, please give it a go. Your appetite will be satisfied with each gourmet food the Chef has to deliver in each chapter 😉
-) W’s by Seo Kouji.
The truth is, I’d love to work on this manga, but this project is already under Kaichou! group’s current project.
So, I guess that’t it. Thanks again for participating, everyone. I really hope that someone can scanlate the ones I can’t.

Wow! really wonder full projects. I am big fan of Break shot and also Kiteretsu Daihyakka seems really intersting.
I have question regarding breakshot , will start from the beginning or from where other groups have left.
Aug 28, 2010 @ 20:14:27
We’ll start from what the last group had left. We don’t have time and patience to do them all over again ^^;

I would love to see Zekken Chinmi finally continued because it is one of the classics and a really nice manga with a feeling like the beginning of dragon ball.
And i would have loved to read the sequel to sylphid, really sucks u were not able to get your hands on the raws.
Aug 28, 2010 @ 17:26:53
BREAK SHOT’S COMING BACK! I’m excited.
Shame you don’t plan to do Mars, but it’s not like I’m gonna whine about it.
Aug 28, 2010 @ 20:13:37
We’re planning on doing Mars, but we don’t have the RAW 😦

It really good to news to hear and wish to read where
it stopped
This is one of the reasons i love visit , thank you very very much for effort you taken explain reasons you have rejected all the above series and also for the continuous release of Kaze no Sylphid.

Ah lol, I am almost tempted to buy a whole new set of the series just so I could give it to you to scanlate XD But then again… you do consider it too long. Do hope someone will someday pick thi series up.
On a side note though… how many volumes do you consider just right for you to pick (for scanlating)?
But putting the matter of Corseltel aside, this might come late, but many thanks for scanlating Miiko Desu 🙂 I loove that one.
Hoping you do will pick Tekken Chinmi up. Used to watch it on TV some long time ago, the thing that stand in my mind though is the ending song… somehow.
Aug 29, 2010 @ 16:13:13
Well, everything that is rejected could be back up to considered or even accepted if we got more translators ^^
So everything’s still possible. Don’t worry 😀
Since we only have 2 translators right now, we can’t accept the series that is 5 volumes long or more, unless the story is really really really good like Tekken Chinmi. I really hope I can scanlate that too.
