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 me into the world of scanlation. He was a key member of Church of Potteto, 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.

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 going forwards, however, Church of Potteto activities will carry on under my stead, and I will be taking over as typesetter on Sono Bisque Doll.

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.

R.I.P. Mike. Sure he was a great guy.
Thanks for the chapter. Really nice one

So we're gonna go the classic love interest starts to distance themselves?
Bonus points if the whole "I've been a bit busy lately" is a total misunderstanding and not necessarily due to cosplay creation.
Classic tropes can be done well, but Sono Bisque Doll has been 100+ chapters of a meandering excuse for the author's cosplay enthusiasm. Yet, the audience is mostly here for the romcom, which so far stinks.

I read the other translation, but I always read CoP as it's always the best. It was much easier to read, and the story made more sense (not that it was hard, but the dialog was less clunky.) Mike, you started something beautiful with this team - RIP bro.

Mike sounds like a wonderful guy. Continuing his passion for scanlating sounds like a great way to remember him. Please take care of yourselves, Church of Potteto!

Non looks like an undyed Marin, I like their similarity and the light/dark opposition they create with their hair. Curious whether Non will be here only for Gojo to come to terms to this past experience or to stay as an important character.

As for Marin feeling depressed now, I'M SO FUCKIN' GLAD!! Finally she is for the first time considering the effects she might have on people around her and especially on Gojou. Yeah, she's feeling extra guilt and misunderstanding things, but this is gonna be an amazing growth process for Marin who until now has never considered how she affects others. And let's be clear, as a matter of fact her relationship with Gojo is quite unhealthy, effectively harming both Gojou's health and his ability to pursue other dreams. The fact that this comes right into the Haniel cosplay arc is extremely fitting, as Haniel is presented as a being who beguiles humans and brings them to ruin through hiw/her beauty (angels are hermaphrodites in this universe right?), much like Marin will now see herself doing. I see great opportunities for growth and I'm all for it

I think the chances of him being busy for other reasons are close to 0 because we saw how much effort he had to put in these costumes, we saw he hurt himself to to this, we saw his thoughts basically all the time and we saw him realise he hasn't been exercising because of the costume work.

I wouldn't say that this is the FIRST time because she had a breakdown when she learned how much effort Gojo put into the first costume to get it done in two weeks JUST BECAUSE THEY HADN'T COMMUNICATED PROPERLY. It seems that both of them forgot that lesson.

o7 Mike. You are loved and will be miss!

I'm terms of the story, this is prolly the reason Marin eventually accepts the agency cosplayer job.

I usual love a heavy serving of angst, but this just isn't activating that serotonin. But I have a feeling it will lead to a lot of interesting things with people slapping the hell out of these two to wake up .
