Hokuto, when you have time, can you pick this back up?

 

[Amin00265]

@wattermany I've heard they translated all of this but sadly they don't have any editor

 

[kohelemon]

I've made it to Chapter 24! Man! This Series thus far has had me laugh and cry more than once now!
Ohh, dang it... there hasn't been a new chapter in 5 years... Why do I keep doing this to myself🤣

 

[kohelemon]

Dang it, Where'd the chapters go!? What happened!

 

[kohelemon]

Anyone know where to find the chapters? They vanished. Wish I had saved them all before they went.

 

[kohelemon]

Yay! Chapters back!

 

[Septazia]

Thank Lemons for the translation and Chanoyu I assume for typesetting it.

 

[Thin_white_duke]

Thank you whoever continued this 🙏

 

[kohelemon]

wait more chapters! DEAR LORD THANK YOU!

Never did I expect this to get licensed, but lo and behold.

Oh, you weren't kidding!

The English release of Hana no Keiji is being licensed by Kodansha and they plan on launching it this Fall. The official English title will be "The Magnificent Bastard: The Legend of Keiji."

Well if Kodansha wants me to take down the chapters that I've been uploading, then I will. But I like to finish what I started. I've never done anything like this before and I know I'm not a good typesetter. And these old Italian pages with broken double-spreads probably annoy some people. But I expect much better things from an official publisher like Kodansha! And I look forward to supporting the official English release!

@Chanoyu I suppose the difference would be yours is from Italian -> English whereas theirs will be Japanese -> English. But regardless, I am very happy as well =) I think this only leaves Ikusa no Ko left for major Hara works without full translations (though I think basically all of his lesser-known works are done?)

Fist of the Blue Sky still needs an official English translation, doesn't it? Although Hokuto no Gun did a good job with it all those years ago. Maybe Viz Media can pick it up once they wrap Fist of the North Star later this year.

I'd attempt a fan translation of Ikusa no Ko based on the Italian version, but sadly it looks like the publisher Goen stopped at volume 17.

I was including scanlations so Blue Sky is accounted for, yes. It's too bad the Italians stopped, though, they were close to the end too. :'(

The team working on it would probably think it was cool if you did take them down. It's why I took down our version.

 

[Chanoyu]

I've deleted the chapters that I uploaded. If you want to read the remainder of Hana no Keiji in English, keep holding out for...

The Magnificent Bastard!

Just a few more months!

 

[Thin_white_duke]

Man i wish my country get license for hana no keiji, we only get fist of the north Star license 2 year ago, but the funny things is my country already done with all the volume license faster than viz (i need to complete the collection tho)

 

[kohelemon]

dang, unfortunate that the chapters are gone... but, is it true it's getting an english release?
Oh, it's another one of those sites darn it... How many tiny websites and apps do I need!? Welp, at least I saw a bit more. Thanks for the translations whoever put them up, I was beginning to think I'd never see more than thirty.
