Never thought I'd ever see anyone attempt to scanlate this.

Is there anyone out there who has plans on doing this? Mostly asking because I possess the raw and have it partially cleaned, and was planning on translating it myself. However, if someone else has plans, I don't want to interfere. EDIT: Expect this released in about a week or so. Look forward...

I was tired when I wrote that, I do apologize for that fumble lol. It has been corrected. Sorry!

As for my own two cents on this work: While I imagine many will linger on the depictions of disappearing minorities (and make no mistake, that is a focal point), I think this work moreso highlights the death of nationalism. The blinding light resembling the rising sun and the removal of peace at...

I should note that on the official site where this is hosted, the chapter format has shifted from halves of a larger chapter to smaller, individual chapters (so this is now chapter 5). Curious to see if its simultaneous hosting on pixiv will follow suit with that format.

Wow, I never knew the Rippu Shobo version restores them, thank you 😊! I own the Gentosha bunko [and the digital uses the Sun Comics version as its basis], so I wouldn't have known that.

Wonderful!! Edit: I should note that for the Gentosha bunko, the opening 3 color pages of the first chapter [the first two after AndroidLB's notes] are restored, though grayscaled.

Finally, Fire has been licensed in English. I will still update the first half as planned, and I will also translate any essays and commentaries from other editions. And, should the Rolling Stones one-shot in volume 2 not get translated, I will do that as well. Also, if the publisher goes under...

Thank you for the tip. I will announce what will become of this scanlation soon.

Thank you, that means a lot!! 😭 I keep as close to the original dialogue as possible, as I think a mangaka's writing style is very, very important. And Kimura-sensei has pretty straightforward and plain dialogue overall, though she can also be quite lyrical and poetic ❤ Overall, I just wanted...

As much as I hate the Vertical release, that is the current way to read it in print. For Tezuka manga afterword TLs, those are for the ones that did not get them translated in their English releases, and that was all I intended to TL for those works (I never meant to do the main works proper).

@rustbird No problem :) I was thinking about including that in my comments initially but felt that'd be forcing my own opinion on the work - I want it to speak for itself. Something with a similar duality can be found in Nanae Sasaya's A Silent Morning. June in its early days had a decent...

This was in the proto-BL magazine June, and while Yashiro herself was never part of the proto-BL/June sphere, she was very well aware of the magazine's target demographic. The work is deliberately structured to have different readings depending on who goes through it; the general public can view...

That timeframe, yes :) There is some things I need to take care of on my personal end first but that's right. Also alongside it I will be starting Cain of the Beach so do look forward to that =)
