Sort of a status update

Hello all! Unfortunately it doesn’t look like we will be getting this done by christmas, but we have made a little progress. 7 (or more) pages have been completely translated and by what I’ve cleaned up, its looking like a good chapter.

Hang on, let me say that’s 20% done.

Yes, that sounds way more impressive.

In other news, the new poll is looking dire with 63% of people smiling and nodding along without doing anything. 27% of readers laugh at our struggles as they cruise by on the reading end.

One person thinks they can help but I haven’t heard anything from them yet. I can do all the editing of pages in about 1 minutes each so we don’t really need too much extra manpower there. But who knows.

You may have seen other scanlation sites being very strict with tests and things if people want to join our team but we’re not going to be like that. I was thinking, if you want to help out at all don’t hesitate to contact us. We could do with a pro update writer even. If you think you can make these posts and news gorgeously compelling and well written feel welcome to contact us! Or for anything else that may concern you. Remember, to contact us there is a form on the ‘Stuff and stuff’ tab if you click it.

We’ve sort of started.

Hey there everyone. I thought that I would bring you the good news and say we have sort of started on the next chapter. The bad news is that Jackie is really busy, so its going to be a slow one. I put the timer down for a month but since Jackie can only give a few hours a week we will only get a few pages done per week.

So bear with us, but I’m going to say it will hopefully be out around Christmas. If it is, then I guess that’s a good Christmas present from us to all of you who are following us.

Not official Stats, but here is what I can recall.

There are 34 pages. I’ve cleaned 8 and Jackie has translated… I think 2, not sure by now.

Dear Reader-sama

Dear reader-sama, I am too much of a noob to translate anything, and Jackie is settled down but still had no internet.

She seems to be getting along well, and is teaching a large class. I am sure she will share more with you about her ventures when she gets time.

This is me updating the lot of you and reminding you I’m not dead. Just lazy. *Cough* I mean, incompetent. 

So, lets talk about chapter 14.

Our translator, Jackie, is moving/has moved to Japan, so we don’t know how long its going to be until we see her again. This means that Chapter 14 could potentially be delayed a while. However, I am learning more and more in regards to translating Japanese, and I was able to do 4 pages of the last chapter (not as well as jackie so she redid them) But what does this mean for you guys?

This means that if I try to translate the chapter, you’ll get to read midnight sun sooner. You’ll get updates. It will generally convey the jist of the story, it should be accurate enough to do that.

The downside? I’m not as good at Japanese as Jackie is. My translations are not as good. I will make mistakes, there may even be some background or difficult text I can’t make out.

As you may have noticed, I’ve put up a poll on the side bar asking n your opinions on if I should translate for you guys or not. So far a whopping majority has voted no, wanting me to give it a go, but not post it. However this is vastly discouraging for me. I don’t know about you, but I hate doing work and getting nothing for it. I’m not going to devote my time translating all of those pages if I don’t post it. 

So things are looking dire for the lot of you regarding chapter 14. Who knows when Jackie will return. However lets not make assumptions based on a poll alone. Leave comments here, tell me what you think about this, and well see where we stand.

Chapter 13 RELEASED

Hello everyone, it has been a long wait I know, but I am pleased to announce that chapter 13 is finally released.

Jackie is on her way to Japan and is ultra busy, so I am not sure when chapter 14 will be started, I’ll have to wait for contact from her. (Hopefully it will mean she will suddenly get more pro at japanese and be able to translate mega fast)

Anyway, with no further ado here it is. DOWNLOAD LINK

I’ll edit in the online reader in a second, just posting this now since the timer countdown is up!

Sorry guys my internet doesn’t want to upload the pages. If you want to read the chapter you will have to download the zip file (Link above) ^

SOrry EVERYONE JACKIE IS STILL DEAD

And translating is so hard for me, but I’m learning more everyday.

Jackie did say she would come back tomorrow or the day after so hopefully we can get back to work then.

Moving Along

So for once Jackie was actually having to wait for me. But the good news is I just did some more pages, so now there is some more work for Jackie. Hopefully I can get into the good habit of moving them along.

First update in a while.

I have officially started redrawing the pages. Which means Jackie will also be able to begin. I will calculate the timer later and set it up.

So that’s means

Cleaning/Redrawing: 9 pages done.

Translating: 0 pages done.

In other news, in regards to our poll on if you have a creative music, several people are delusional or imposters and think they are me. However everyone knows no-one can be as amazing as me. So we are onto you imposters!

Chapter 12- Released for REAL

Shhhhh. As far the the government knows; as far as the terminator knows, as far as your mother knows.

YOU　HAVE　NOT　YET　READ　CHAPTER　１２

 

But now, you can read it legally, and for real. Great news right.

 

But Wait, There’s more!

More? You　ask. Yes, it’s even better news too. SOMEONE SENT US FANART.

Jackie and me partied all night and did things that no translator and editor ever should do. She will deny it if you ask her.

 

So join me in a round of applause as we welcome our artist “MP” to the stage:

＊Crowd roars like a half starved lion＊

Oh come on, you can do better than that！！！！

＊Crowd roars like your grandmothers vacuum cleaner＊

Now THAT”S what I’m talking about.

MP has done us a beautiful portrait of our favourite heroes, Karou and Shitou. She may not be drawing in the style of the mangaka, but my god, it is beautiful. Here it is.

Now calm down your pants my fans. We already know its amazing.

If we get more fanart then we will make an exclusive fanart page just for your viewing pleasure. We won’t make it while we only have one to show, but get your pens out and get drawing! It doesn’t matter if its good or bad or stickmen as long as you put your love into I mean look at my random mini fanart things as examples with noob Shitou and Karou blowing something up just anything and we will love you.

 

Now what was I forgetting? Oh yeah. Links:

Two days to go and we are still on it ！！！

絵fんとだysjfbhfv日へそkdんおてヴぇねだmっみいいいい意ttt。I accidentalｌｙ posted this as a　page and really confused myself but it’s fixed now. Sorry.

Readers, do not fear, we are still alive. Today I wrapped up the last of the cleaning。HAIL　THIS　CHAPTER　NO　HARD　REDRAWS。

Jackie has most of her pages done. Behold it’s a miracle. And I wasn’t even nagging her this time.　There are only four left to be uploaded by her so I have a good feeling that our release date will be timed appropriately。

Now let me try to copy and paste Jackie’s format so she doesn’t come in here and edit correct it for me.

Status Update/Numbers:

Cleaning: ４１/41 pages (１００%) done.

Translating: ３７/41 pages (９０％) done.

 

Eh…. cぉ背　Close enough.　Also you may notice weird fonts in here. Its because I’m too lazy to turn off my日本語Keyboard. Yeah yeah. Being lazy is the life。

Oh by the way Jackie what do you want me to do with those non-text pages the cover ones sort of. Darken the blacks?
