Ogami Tsumiki to Kinichijou - Ch. 52 - Yutaka-kun and the Third Semester

[Pac1fic]

Thank you for the TL, have been reading since the first chapter ! <3

God speed to the scanlators. You've done incredible work!
Sad to see you guys go, it might be because I am an ignorant foreigner but I always found the translations of amateur translators in english to be better than "official" english translations. Especially those by Viz!

I'll look forward to your future scanlation projects!

 

[spinder]

Thanks for this serie so far. Sucks viz got its greedy hands on it.

Well I guess it's as good a place as any to stop and let the official release have it's day, now I either need to find the official release or wait for an anime.

I don’t keep up. Why arnt the viz scans just not posted here?

 

[maibi]

why after viz licensed a series, the pirate TL always dropped the series?
why not just continue the series, so there will be 2 ver of TL?

I've written my explanations in the credit page, but since people don't seem to be capable of reading, I'll write it out here again.

1. In our case, Viz licensed the series to do a simulpub. Simulpub here stands for simultaneous publishing. Meaning that the English chapters will be released on the same day as the Japanese chapters. This means our translations will be permanently a week or more behind.

2. Scanlation isn't our job. We do this purely out of passion, which is a limited resource. What's the point in chasing a simulpub only for a potentially marginal (if any) increase in quality, when there are so many other series out there without any proper English translation, official or not? Translating, redrawing, and typesetting take several hours per step, which is a significant chunk of our free time. Regardless, the whole purpose of scanlation is for us to provide an alternative when there is none, to support the mangaka by drawing attention to the series. NOT for us make money, since it's not our work to begin with.

3. Then there's also the legal and moral implication of drawing viewers away from an official translation which provides revenue for both the publisher and the mangaka themselves.

Does the change suck for the viewer of our fan scans? An inconvenience for sure, but not a major one.
Is it something that's easily overcome through a VPN or another aggregator site, completely free of charge? Definitely.

Mangadex does not host licensed content. It's done that way for legal reasons, as Viz is the provider.

That being said, they could be linked to, but I don't think they're done as Viz is only licensed to operate in several countries, not all. (US, UK, NZ, AUS, etc.)

I'll preface this by saying thank you ETC for working on the series and that I genuinely appreciate it.

But fuck me in the ass sideways with a three legged turnip for not living in white people country I guess. Much as I love the series, the hassle hurdle of checking ad-ridden websites with barely functional control over pages or following a series is high enough for me to drop the series altogether. Especially now that Tachiyomi is dead

Mihon is a thing, successor to Tachi and all. Cubari if you want a solely web based option.

You'd be very wrong yes.

 

[mug3n]

Thank you for all the work you guys did, you did great. It's a little sad to see this stop tbh, it was fun coming here and collectivelly enjoying getting diabetes. One last cute panel to send it off

 

[WorseDoughnut]

Thank you so much for all of your hard work with the TL up until now! You all did an incredible job.

 

[Forsaken6]

Thanks for your hard work.
I ask here, any solution for those in countries such mine where viz is not available?

 

[PrototypicalLurker]

Farewell. a good chapter to end it on

 

[Ragness10]

Thank you, emergency committee!

 

[Satyricon]

Its a sad day..
o7 ETC.
The VIZ localisation is shit.. hate the missing honorifics.

 

[fgsfdss]

Thank you ETC and SHS for the quality releases. I'll miss this series.
Hopefully it won't take many more years until Japanese publishers realise that not all of their international readers live in the US.

 

[Draggador]

Thank you very much for your hard work, @stupid_chris & friends! We'll miss your shenanigans!

 

[havelmom]

We'll be working on other stuff of course.
