A few notes on this release.

It turns out that the series is still ongoing, with three published volumes and recent chapters beyond that by the author. Since becoming collected into volumes, the title has been changed to what you see in the covers. I've updated this information on the manga page.

As part of my own renewed interest in the story, I'm releasing my own versions of Chapter 1 and 2. I understand that the original group probably just wanted to seed interest in the manga, but to be honest, it's machine-translated slop. This is a really charming manga that deserves much higher quality. Hopefully this closes the gap a little.

Thank you and enjoy.

You're welcome. I hope that you enjoy the author's work again.

I'm not making any promises, but there are some bonus pages after some chapters, so I may work on those after Chapter 2. I may eventually get to Chapter 13+, which haven't been translated yet.

I haven't read it, just checked this because it sounded interesting enough and then I was curious why a first chapter was getting re-translated, I'll wait for a translation, however many years it takes....worst case scenario I hope is me learning japanese.

The three "volumes" were doujin booklet releases of the already existing chapters.

The title is now going to be serialized, though, and those already existing materials along with some new stuff will form the official volume 1 book that is coming out in November in Japan. So new chapters will only start to come out soon.

Chapters 13 and 14 were recently posted to pixiv, so I assume he means those.

Just to clarify, I am only re-translating Chapters 1 and 2 because they were machine-translated and are generally a mess. After that, the chapters done by the "What's Typesetting" group are pretty good.
First, thank you. Second, do you plan to do 13 and 14?

You may not be familiar with the state of the manga on MangaDex before today. It was marked as "complete" at two volumes and twelve chapters. My post is an explanation that this is no longer the case.

The reference to "recent chapters" is actually based on what is on the author's pixivFANBOX page, showing rough sketches of a new Chapter 16. Again, simply clarifying that the series is not dead and will see continued development.

Thanks for your nice work on everything afterward! I wasn't sure if your group was still active in working on this manga, but if you're still interested in doing it, I'll definitely leave it to you. I do everything by myself, so it's a lot harder and slower for me to get to. It would also be better for consistency / continuity.

Well, I operate under a different group name these days, but I'm still around, yeah. I'm also pretty booked up, as far as scanlation time goes, so I'd be pretty appreciative if you took over, to be honest.

You seem to be the translator in half the manga I read, so I for one thank you for your services and hope you learn to chill a bit, burnout isn't fun. =)

Sounds good to me. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I'll just do Chapter 1 and 2 for right now, and pick up some bonus pages for each of the chapters after. There may be a missing chapter between 11 and 12 as well. If I get to Chapter 13+ and it's still open, I'll just start working on it.

Best of luck with your other projects!
