Hey everyone.
It's with a very heavy heart that I am letting you all know that our dear friend @mike_leehk has passed away on the morning of June 7th.
Mike was the person who's first dragged both me and awh into the world of scanlation. He was a key member of Sho Habby, has taught me how to typeset, and was an incredible mentor. But more than that, Mike was a very dear friend to many of us at Sho Habby. Mike had also been sharing the duties of Typesetter on Akutsu for the better part of the last year, and was a huge help in getting this project rolling when we took over from iltrof.
Earlier this year, in March, I've had the pleasure of meeting him to go watch the two new Bunny Girl Senpai movies in theatres. The series has always been a shared favourite of ours, and we've spent a lot of our time over the past two years I've known him talking about it, and theorizing of what may come in the future novels of the series.
Mike leaves behind an emptiness that will weigh on us all, but we will keep his legacy alive in his name. There should not be significant changes to the groups activities, however, he was the person in charge of Church of Potteto, which will continue it's operations under my stead, but some of it's series may see themselves transferred here to make it easier to manage on my end.
I'd like to extend my deepest condolences to his family, and wish them the best in their grieving process.

Thank you for everything Mike, we'll miss you dearly. Rest well.
May is soul rest in eternal peace, you'll be miss Mike. Thank you for all your contributions to not only the Mangadex community, but the translators community as well.

I'm impressed that Ooyama and Akutsu aren't too embarrassed to do cute things together. They've already done so much after all. And they don't need to "grow" into becoming good partners, they already are!

Poor Ooya though, she never expected to be a witness to such a cute experience. I wonder what role she'll have at the wedding...

Ooyama and Akutsu are gonna be a great couple, I'm sure of it! What's their first step as a couple though?
Holding hands outside of the apartment? Admitting they're going together at school (and being asked "What? You weren't already?")?

It's not "please go home Akutsu". It's "please go out with me Akutsu". It was all Oyamas plan to get her out of his house.

You have my condolences. Thank you BOTH, for everything you have done to help translate this Akutsu-san into English. My heart goes out to you, his friends, and his family.

RIP Mike, I hope that his family can take solace in knowing he was respected and his hobby has made the life of countless readers better with every page he worked on.

With that said, I think the series is ending soon. Not that there was much left to explore with the concept 170+ chapters later. Any new developments won't be like how the Manga started. And I worry that it might get cliché or just fall off due to bad troupes added to "spice" things up.
