No problems reading this a third time.
I don't think there are any toes in the game to step on, so if this is the quality of releases that will come down the road, I'm excited for the future.
Thanks for this release.
On a side note, I know there is a comic or novel version of Cat Shit One, but I remember (and might have the file around) of an anime episode or OVA or something. I'm starting to wonder if anything more came of that, but I get the feeling I'd enjoy the mystery by not knowing more at this point in time.

@claith You're welcome and thanks for the nice words about the quality of my release. I put a lot of effort into my work!
I watched the one-shot anime for Cat Shit One and really liked it. Never have actually picked up the manga, but it's high on my list.
@kuroro86 You're welcome. I'm almost halfway done with chapter 11. Should have it done before the weekend is over.

Thank for you this work! I was very interested in this series but scanlation was dropped on chapter 8. So I was very excited when saw someone continue the work. Thank you very much! :😍

@Talon13184 Hey, so I thought about looking through your scans and listing all the error’s I’ve found (like an editor... or something). I hope you won’t mind it. I’m kind of a perfectionist and have OCD for these things. Besides it’ll look more presentable, wouldn’t you agree?
Some will be minor/major grammar adjustments (you seem to have translated some sentences directly, instead of applying English grammar to them. It’s not that bad, though), others will be in regards to who is saying what (I’ve noticed a few instances where you’ve marked a speech bubble as being said by someone who probably wasn’t the one that said it, which is something you’ve complained about yourself).
Whether you decide to address these, or not, is up to you (just tell me if I’m being an annoying cunt and I’ll stop, lol). If you do, there’s no rush. You should primarily focus on EX-ARM and other manga that you’re simultaneously translating. These will be more like notes left over for when you DO decide to address these errors.
Thanks again for your hard work! If it turns out that you like the sound of this idea, I’ll be sure to point out when I find something that seems off, in the future.
[Page 3]: You didn’t translate the note about *Caltech*, at the bottom of the page.
[Page 4]: “There were even kids mixed in with them.” - I think that a better way of formulating this sentence is: “There were kids mixed in with them as well”; “Are they all really going to self-destruct!?” - *all* isn’t necessary in this sentence, since it’s already implied that he’s referring to the aforementioned 100 people. So it should be: “Are they really going to self-destruct!?”
[Page 5]: Minami’s text, in the last panel, should be: “If they don’t give in to their demands then, starting at noon tomorrow, there will be a suicide bombing every 5 minutes...” - I feel that it’s more grammatically accurate this way (in a sentence, the time/date when something is taking place, is always said first, followed by the rest of the sentence).
[Page 6]: Chikage: “On top of that, while we know the explosion stems from something like that emblem...” - I don’t know if *something* was written by the mangaka themselves, but the portags know that the emblem is the source, so *something* should be removed from the speech bubble.
[Page 12]: “With just had regular brain tissue, you’d get burned out pretty damn fast” - This seems to be a typo. *had* can be removed, unless you accidentally left out a piece of text.
[Page 16]: *Terrorist* attacks, instead of *terrorism* attacks.
[Page 18]: The over-detailed panel with the kid: “... *suicide bombings* often can’t be done.”
[Page 19]: Minami’s line should be: “How can you be a suicide bomber?”
[Page 21]: “There will be far *more* information...”

@Angelopolagej Hey, thanks for doing that. Sometimes, I just want to get an issue done so I kind of skimp over the proofreading. I made the changes you suggested (some of them I altered a bit). I'm uploading it now so feel free to take a look. I gave you a "special thanks" credit on the credits tag.
Feel free to keep proofreading my stuff (but don't feel obligated or anything). Might be better to DM me any notes so that other readers can focus on the story/art discussion in the comments section.
Thanks again

@Talon13184 Nice. I agree with you and will DM you for the other Chapters (as I proofread them). It’s the least I can do for the sake of everyone’s enjoyment. You’re doing this alone, and for free, so it’s no problem to help out (even if it’s just proofreading).
