Hi, on the occasion of a long overdue Kakushigoto chapter release, here are more news about Kakushigoto, in case you are living under a rock.
Anime
I hope you are all watching the Kakushigoto anime this season and buying all the merch.
Ganbatte Mangaka!
Manga
I hope you are all buying the official Kakushigoto manga translations.
The chapter I just released was actually intended for April Fools' to give us plausible deniability against the Kodansha mafia, but alas I messed it up.
The licensing rustled our jimmies for a bit because it is the first time it happened to us. I originally got into scanlation because I wanted to read more Kumeta. Now Kakushigoto is licensed and they will probably catch up with us quickly. I also have other things on my mind recently and am not as eager anymore to learn what happens next in Kakushigoto as I used to be. Of course, releasing licensed manga leaves a bitter taste in my mouth and I'm generally happy that Kodansha picked it up. For all these reasons it makes sense to drop Kakushigoto and focus on other series.
That said, there is no particular desire over here to stop getting the occasional chapter out (maybe even more frequently, who knows!) because, as these things happen, scanlation for me turned from a means to an end into a hobby over time and I wouldn't like to give up my leisure time Kakushigoto scanlation. We'll see, I guess.
