Sousei no Taiga ch25

DL

And we're back... IRL issues derailed my scanlating inertia, and while I'm not back on track just yet, I got this chapter done at least. Apparently it hasn't been a whole month yet, which means that technically I haven't fallen behind since the series is monthly. Not much actually happens in this chapter since obviously Taiga has to cope with the events of the last chapter.

Now the question is, when will I finish the next chapter? Unfortunately, it's probably going to take more than a week, because I have all my other series that I need to get back on as well. That being said, there's no way that the next chapter will be as time-consuming, because this chapter had an obscene number of redraws. So sit tight, and hopefully it's sooner than later.

Ganbare! Memeko-chan ch63 + Extras (end)

DL
Well, this is the end. I hope you liked it. The shift to mostly romance in the second half wasn't to my taste, but I think it was mostly handled well enough, and Memeko and Kishida's character arcs are perhaps the most fleshed-out and well-realized of the Munko manga I've translated thus far.

Much like My Home, there is a related series (Haru to Aki ni Tsuite) that I will be translating in the future about another side of Hanamaru Corp. Longtime fans will also recognize this series due to a couple of cameos in Dakara Miyoko desu. But You're Mine and Raika Days take priority in this moment, so you'll just have to look forward to it.

My Home ch52-55 (end)

DL
There is a reason why I'm releasing all these chapters at once. You can read to find out why.

I have to say that this was quite the ride. My Home was actually the first Munko manga I ever saw, while browsing raw manga DDL sites back in 2014 or 2015. Something about the cover art for volume 1 really stuck with me. So one could say that this series is what got me to start translating Munko series in the first place. It took almost a year and a half, but I'm glad that people enjoyed it as much as I did.

Now, Mai's journey doesn't end here. There is a sequel called You're Mine that expands upon the epilogue at the very end, and there is also My Home Prototype, the original one-shot that Munko sent in to the publisher back in 2003 that was later released for the first time in the 2015 re-release. Needless to say, I will be translating both in the future, so you can look forward to that.

Tokyo Game ch19

DL
While Dr. Godot isn't such a formidable opponent compared to previous ones, the final hand in this chapter is a thing of beauty.

We're still getting everybody introduced here, but I'm happy about the density of references in this chapter.

Sousei no Taiga ch24 + Maya-san no Yofukashi ch7

DL Taiga

The only word which isn't outright explained is "sawa," which just means "yes." Though at this point there's more dire priorities in the story, eh?

DL Maya

You know that feeling when you're watching anime, but have to stop because you know something embarrassing is going to happen? That's this. I hear the cool kids call it "cringe" these days.
