Just adding a note that the web publication of Hirahirahira is now doing the annoying thing of publishing half a chapter at a time ("2-1" came out today). I have no interest in this model of publication (half a chapter a month is no way to read a story) so it's likely I'll be back to waiting...

And as if by magic, licensed by Yen Press! So I won't be continuing with this one. It's fun, though - enjoy the English release when it comes out!

Thanks, but I do this as a personal hobby. While I don't love spending lots of time on cleaning and redrawing, I think I'd feel a lot more pressure to work on things if I'm holding up other people. While I know this means releases are slow depending on what I feel like working on, and I know...

I work alone on all my translations, which means I am both very slow and very easily distracted...

Just to note this is now (as of April 2026) licensed by Seven Seas, for release next year, so my scanlations stop here. Please support the official release!

Just to note that this is now licensed by Seven Seas for release next year, so here endeth my translations. It's a very sweet little series - support the official release!

I never normally do things that aren't out in volumes yet, but I was so delighted to see Yuu Suzuki start another ongoing series after the untimely end of Wolf and Revolver and a couple of one-shots over the past year - and to see something so squarely within my wheelhouse - that I couldn't...

A number of apologies here - not least for the three month wait between chapters (60 pages of naturalistic Kansai-ben - not my forte...) I gave up translating all the rustling halfway through the chapter, this would never have made it off my hard drive otherwise. TL note from now on: ZAA...

Back to work next week, the hot streak will be over for a while. A few things I still want to do before then, though. No spoilers from me for where Snow Dome Town is going.

While Asterism of the Rolling Stars seems to be on hiatus, here's a different Morning series from me that still has lots of snowfall and a degree of mystery about it. I don't love a nosebleeding male lead, but I guess sometimes seinen's gotta seinen. I do like the oddly retro art, though.

It looks like it's been nearly a year since the last chapter was released and I don't think the group that did so is active any more - if they are and are coming back to this (as I don't exactly have a regular release schedule for anything), then please do let me know. Anyway, this is a sweet...

This will sound like a stupid answer but I don't plan to not continue - as in, I like it enough that it's something I'd definitely go back to, and I've got the final volume on pre-order for next month, but out of everything I put chapters out for it's not a super high priority and my attention...

I don't normally read anything with a naroukei title if I can possibly help it, but saw this recommended by a Twitter account I generally trust for its lovely artwork. It really does have lovely art! Bit icked out by the premise, though - anything with a romantic element that also involves...

Whoops! Can't believe I mixed up oujo and joou! I'm a dumbass. I'll correct and re-upload shortly.

Finally got around to the first chapter of this after picking up the first volume months ago - there's a nice write-up of the first few volumes in English here if you're interested. It finished a couple of months ago in Young Jump, but doesn't seem to have made the grade for getting a simulpub...

What a strange, imperfect little series this was. It has what I think are a lot of interesting ideas, but it never quite feels like they're fleshed out enough (although this is a feature of many a Japanese story in an attempt to make things wistful and fleeting, I realise). It's not exactly...

It's censored in the original but remains just as obvious; my guess would be that it's because this is supposed to be a world that's at peace after war, and the very idea of killing someone is so anathema to Elle that it's a shocking idea.

Oops - fixed, sorry! (it was page 30 in my copy although I think page 25 of the upload).

Recommended by Moto Hagio, venerable sci-fi manga pioneer; also recommended by Shion Miura, very well regarded "proper" novelist and the author of the excellent The Great Passage, along with a bunch of other people. Not something I'd normally look into - normally anything with maid outfits...

There's a reason why I don't tend to read/translate a lot of action manga. An 80 page first chapter full of sound effects (volume 1 is only three chapters long!), many of which basically seem to be made up? Umeda-sensei's art is so good, though. You can see why this is a bimonthly series - if...
