My Home ch30

DL

Bet you weren't expecting this to come back, eh? Well, I'm hoping to continue working it in conjunction with Memeko, because the two series really do go together.

Chou Kadou Girl 1/6 ch15

DL
Hooray, the best girl is here! This was honestly a pretty good chapter all around. One of the little touches that I really like is the DP System eating the chocolate part that regular Nona doesn't eat.

And for anyone wondering "Didn't Nona tell Vernois that Haruto was her husband in chapter 11?" it ends up that I missed that inconsistency when I first read this part (I'll admit I was still kind of skimming at this point), so I didn't notice Vernois's comment in this chapter, or her explanation in the next chapter (that Nona used the term "shujin" which can also mean "master" which is how Vernois interpreted it). I'll be localizing that line in the next chapter thanks to that flub (I don't know how I would've properly translated it in the first place anyways), just so you know.

Chou Kadou Girl 1/6 ch14

DL
Oh good, Undertale. Nah, just kidding. Honestly, the first time I read this chapter I thought it was pretty cool, but now that I think of it, I feel like Haruto is kind of a jerk for simply letting it happen, among other reasons. Well, he isn't exactly the most likeable character to begin with, so I'll let it slide.

Sousei no Taiga ch11

DL

(This chapter was posted a week early on my Patreon page)

Remember Taiga, bros before hoes. Also, sorry that the image quality is kind of crusty, but that's just how the ebook for this volume was. Thanks Kodansha.

Ganbare! Memeko-chan ch35-36

DL
While it's starting to warm up where many people live, let's dive back into the heart of the holiday season in Hanamaru Town with a double release.

Chou Kadou Girl 1/6 ch13

DL
That line at the in is taken directly from Dragon Quest, but since the original English translation didn't imply anything ("Good morning. Thou has had a good night's sleep I hope.") I had to modify it a bit. Speaking of which, there's a manga of the same name (Yuube wa Otanoshimi Deshita ne) that is pretty good from what I've read despite essentially being an ad for the Dragon Quest MMO. It's strange that nobody has translated it yet.

Chou Kadou Girl 1/6 ch12

DL
Wow, two new characters in a single chapter? This volume is off to a wild start.

Chou Kadou Girl 1/6 ch11

DL
One volume down, three to go (in the original series at least). The volume download will be available on the projects page shortly.
After reading the afterword, it seems like I'll have to read Öyster's other works (at least the Danshaku Kouchou series to see the Nona and Bouida cameo).

Sousei no Taiga ch10

DL

We're on to a new volume, but it's still business as usual for now. I'm looking forward to things picking up as much as you guys, though at least I actually know when that happens, haha.

Also, I released chapter 11 of Taiga early for supporters on my Patreon page, for those interested in getting a little ahead in the story.

Chou Kadou Girl 1/6 ch10

DL

As stated previously, this chapter was released early on my Patreon page.

No comment on what happens in the chapter...

Chou Kadou Girl 1/6 ch9 (+Patreon announcement)

DL
I watched the second episode of the anime the other day, and it's a little strange how they rushed right into chapter 5 when the end of chapter 4 was a perfect stopping point. Also, what's the deal with Mikoto appearing so early? I sure hope they don't plan to cram everything into 12 episodes, because that'll make it really hard for me to keep up... Well, if there's enough differences, then it'll be fine.

Also, I'm proud(?) to announce that I'm selling out by hopping onto Patreon. I'll be releasing chapters of this series as well as Taiga on there a little early, and I'm also planning to let supporters help decide what series I translate next in the future. The release pace of these series will not be compromised by this decision (Taiga will actually be released more frequently this way), and I plan to continue working on other series without any monetization (both current series like Memeko as well as some future series). If any of you are interested, then I'd be grateful for the support.

Chou Kadou Girl 1/6 ch8

DL

This is the chapter that really sold me on the series as a whole. I'm sure that every anime fan has encountered a Kanmuri before (or a Bouida if you are a Kanmuri yourself).

Sousei no Taiga ch9

DL

And with that, volume 1 is complete. The download for volume 1 will be available on the projects page shortly. Not much to actually say about this chapter, so enjoy.

Ganbare! Memeko-chan ch32

DL

On to volume 3. The volume 2 DL will be available from the projects page eventually.

P.S. The flower with sunglasses looks like the exact same one Memeko had in chapter 2. Perhaps a bit of a continuity error? Not that anyone cares.

Chou Kadou Girl 1/6 ch6-7

DL

I am become sister, the destroyer of toys...

Well, the first episode of the anime adaptation came out yesterday, and I didn't realize that it would have 12 minute episodes. It only covered the first 2 chapters of the manga, so my rush of daily releases was much ado about nothing, haha. Knowing that, I'm going to be relaxing the release pace just a bit to make room for my usual projects. Something like a chapter every other day.

Ganbare! Memeko-chan ch31

DL

For the uninitiated, the hotel that Kishida and Memeko found was a love hotel (I shouldn't have to explain any more than that).

Friday, April 5, 2019

Chou Kadou Girl 1/6 ch5

DL

Well, double-single it is. Might postpone the double release to Sunday because one of the chapters is very text heavy and I hate typesetting.

Nona must not produce saliva, or else that eating habit of hers would be kind of gross...

Chou Kadou Girl 1/6 ch4

DL
If Haruto didn't like Ozma's image as a tentacle porn robot, then why does he have a doujinshi of that exact thing? It made me even wonder if I was missing something, but I guess it's not that absurd. If you're a big enough fan of a series, you might go for things that you wouldn't normally just because it involves said series. The fact that it's much easier to buy doujinshi in Japan than in other countries means less reasons to not go for it, too. I don't know, I'm overthinking this.
Only two more days until the anime starts, so I'm hoping to get the next 3 chapters out before then, either in a triple release or a single-double on Friday/Saturday. Then I can rest easy for a little while...

Chou Kadou Girl 1/6 ch2-3

DL

I wanted to release these two chapters together no matter what, so that readers wouldn't get the wrong idea about where the story was going. But then again, if the release rate is going to be so fast, does it really matter?
In any case, I had to tussle with some localization questions, specifically Haruto's self-proclaimed title as "do-mania" (どマニア, literally "total maniac"). It was a little difficult because it turns into a general title that isn't attached to any specific series, but I settled on "ultra fanboy." I can't wait for the anime to come out so I can see how the licensor/fansubbers deal with it.

P.S. Nona's huge smile in the bonus 4 panel comic is precious. I love it.

Chou Kadou Girl 1/6 ch1

DL

I flip-flopped over whether I wanted to do this or not many times because it's not really that great, but after buying and reading all of the original series, it had enough endearing moments that I figured I might as well. The main reason why I wanted to start this now and at the same time didn't want to start it at all is because of the anime series that will start airing in a couple days. In the end, I think that the challenge of trying to stay one step ahead of the subs will be an enriching experience (and maybe garner a little attention). And for that reason, I will be focusing on this series as much as I can until I can create a buffer between me and the anime. The first episode airs in about 3 days, and will likely cover anywhere from 3 to 5 chapters, so I have my work cut out for me...
