[opkijtufgryedrfytg]

we're entering levels of degeneracy that shouldn't even be possible

 

[doomrider69er]

Yeah it's sad it's not been picked up again to complete the release

 

[AtashiNoYuutsu]

No updates after 4 months... how unfortunate

 

[Hyacyon]

I've never really been one to like these mother/daughter themes, but this one is a definite exception--- and by that, I mean it's exceptional. Can't wait for it resume

 

[Soulreaperxxx]

Is she going to continue this?

 

[1000001]

Where is the second part T_T

 

[CrepeChan]

Where is the second part T_T

I was subbed to their pixiv for a while and checked out some of their stuff on the Japanese Amazon, and from what it looks like, the mangaka is redoing the whole thing. Which is to say, there isn't a second part yet, and at this rate I don't know how long it'll be before this story picks up from where it left off. If it ever does.

 

[NIPHY]

Well shit, we get the boy/mother versions of this already so sure, let's go full lesbian too

Just for reference what's the other one?

 

[Unnamed__Being]

uhh… so where’s part 2? -_-

If its being redone, is it under a new name? Is it being translated? Where?

If its being redone, is it under a new name? Is it being translated? Where?

It is under the same title, although the English title has been formalized as "1x1/2 - My Half Of You" or "My Half Of You" (the same title as when Sekai Project briefly localized it).

There was a translation effort, first on Fanbox then on Fantia, but restrictions on foreign credit cards made continuing impossible this year (it had gradually become quite slow even before this point, and the QC was questionable at times), so Taiyaki opened up the Everyone Translate (I think the English branding used is "Translators Unite" but maybe that's a separate thing) function on DLSite as an alternative. I believe this essentially allows fan translations to be sold there with a revenue split or something, but somebody has to actually translate it.

That said, despite the redrawn art, the story has had very minor changes, and especially in the first volume you can mostly expect the same dialogue. In progression, I think it is up to around Vol 4 of the old series.

dang, I did not realize what a full redraw would entail for it to be still going 5 years on

I figured it would be like a year or two wait, but I'm guessing she's also been working on other projects as well

what a place to soft end tho

Taiyaki basically did a full life reset in that time - moving, trying to handle the demand for official translations, working out physical printing logistics (whether to go digital-only instead, whether to keep shipping books herself vs whether print-on-demand was acceptable quality, getting samples from the POD providers, testing store fulfillment methods), and resolving some pretty serious ergonomic/health issues related to not really ever having a break from 1x1/2 since it started. That also let her do some formal art training and look into 3D scene planning (which unfortunately meant an end to the charming weirdly-drawn clocks of the original manga, I miss them). There's also been a ton of publisher/payment processor/platform problems and administrative work: she used both Fantia and Fanbox for a while, tried to simplify things by consolidating down to just Fanbox, then had to switch back to Fantia and reupload everything when Pixiv got pressured by Visa/MC to start banning vaguely controversial content. And that's just some of it (ignoring COVID entirely, for example).

There was definitely a little "side project" stuff (like organizing the oyako yuri anthology and doing some follow-ups) but I don't feel like it was that distracting in comparison to all the administrative headaches - resuming Yuru Oyako definitely took a back seat to getting 1x1/2 out regularly. Things seem stable at the moment, and I think with the recent release of the redrawn Ch12 we're up to around Vol 6.

 

[faaresemo]

yikes, alright yea fair enough, I feel stressed out enough as it is and my life hasn't been anywhere near that chaotic.

I hope things in general have been going well for her tho
