We're out of Raws, too cheap to buy them ourselves despite it only costing around 20 bucks in total, and probably too lazy to scan them in if we had them. So we have to wait till at least August, when the takubon comes out and at that time some scanners in Japan will probably scan it and puts it on the web.

What comes next for /a/ Collective Scanlations? Well it seems the translator would like to do another series after a short break but doesn't really know what series. If you have any ideas or recommendations just post them on /a/. Right now the series that the WCW translator mentioned that he might be interested in are
Of course, we might not be doing any of these. Or All of these. Or two of these. Or only one. Or even something completely different. I don't know. It all depends on what the translator is interested in doing.
My Girl and the one about the Fungus are excellent. Cloth Road's mostly nice to look at. The writing's nothing special though.
ReplyDeletesame as above My girl is real good, just read Moyashimon this morning have potential. Cloth Road is nothing special
ReplyDelete4 chapters, thanks a lot. If you guys did another series, I'd love to see My Girl get scanlated.
ReplyDeleteWe have 2 pages that are corrupted. One from chapter 47(usagi_08_122.png)and one from chapter 50(02.png).
ReplyDeleteAnd the hotlink for chapter 47 leads to blogger.com
ReplyDeletePlease do My Girl ... think that series has been in limbo for some time
ReplyDeleteThanks for Usagi Drop, much appreciated. I would love to see a continuation of Moyashimon, judging from the anime and volume one as scanlated by Offtopia, the story could potentially go in many directions and still be very entertaining.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the quick job on Usagi Drop. I personally would enjoy seeing My Girl get the same treatment, but any forgotten series finally getting translated is great. (Just avoid another round of silly scanlation drama)
ReplyDeleteMight consider Kurenai Ouji, it's another "feeling good" manga.
ReplyDeletethanks for the chapters!
ReplyDeletei also have corrupted pages problem, same chapters as previous comment above.
hope you guys do my girl too. almost a year already since the last release.
My Girl!!!
ReplyDeleteGah! Cliffhanger!
ReplyDeleteAlso, My Girl +1.
Thank you for all the hard work you do to bring us these! I've no particular wishes, just whatever your translator wants to do is fine with me!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chapters. Though "My Girl" would definitely be in the same vein as "Usagi Drop" and is definitely good, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see "Moyashimon". Though it is up to the translator...
ReplyDeleteMy Girl!
ReplyDeletePage 122 of Chapter 47 is corrupted, as well as page 2 (IIRC) of chapter 50 @ Mediafire.
ReplyDeleteThe sudden change in numbering of c50 also caught me offguard. A bit annoying, but I'm not going to die.
Thanks for your continuous hardwork! :D
This is anon from 4:38, just realized that c49 is the end of volume 8. Stupid of me. I take back the c50 numbering comment! Sorry!
ReplyDeleteMoya +1
ReplyDeleteBillionaire Girl, shinwa ponchi, and Hanayashiki no Juunintachi are awesome their kinda of inactive right now by the groups doing them and the same artist is doing all these series. My girl and moyashimon are awesome as well it's been awhile since someone did them.
ReplyDeleteAaaaahhh ... now the long, painful wait for ch 51 begins. T__T
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the hard work. Speed Scanslations at their very best.
As for new manga to pick up. I'd say My Girl, though I'm personally hoping someone would pick up the old works from the Usagi Drop mangaka.
Ninomiya Hikaru's titles are also pretty interesting. I know there are some untranslated raws floating around the intrawebz.

thank you, thank you, thank you so much for this mass release!!! XD
ReplyDeletehemmm... 'Everything like Usagi Drop' or 'something that has loli with high quality story' is OK for me ;)
Thanks for the releases.
ReplyDeleteIs there an incomplete TokyoPop series that needs your attention?
is the comment about the soap yours?
ReplyDeletefyi there really is a soap brand that use that kind of wrapping.
I know two series beside the aformentioned ones that no one is doing but are really:
ReplyDeleteSora no manimani, flat(AOGIRI Natsu), china girl and fractle are good but the group's doing them are inactive or stopped but I really want to see fractle, sora no manimani, and flat.
I think it would be better If you guys picked up projects that no is translating anymore or have been inactive for a long time:
ReplyDeleteActually Cherry, flat, fractle,and sora no manimani are the only projects that I really want to see finished. Especially Cherry it has a good story and it's made by the same guy who did Chocolat.
Turns out shinwa ponchi and Hanayashiki no Juunintachi are being done by consistant groups that translate them so their out the window. Check out the series I mentioned please if you guys are interested.

ReplyDeleteIs it possible to buy those magazines online? I could offer to buy them but I live in UK so I am not sure if I will be able to get my hands on them.

ReplyDeletech 47 file is corrupt
ReplyDeleteOf those suggested a few posts above this one (the one with MU links), I'd take Cherry and Billionaire Girl.
ReplyDeleteFlat's protagonist is dullsville (the kid can only do so much before the cuteness wears off), Fractale is based on the anime, which wasn't that great. No opinion of Sora no Manimani cos I haven't read it.
Personal fave among those would be Billionaire Girl.
I think the manga for fractale came out first, I agree Cherry, Billonaire girl would be good and I read sora no manimani it was getting pretty good before drat went on hiatus or something.But I like cherry the most.
ReplyDeleteHow about Nicoichi, since KINDAICHI Renjuurou's stuff are always awesome, and the group for this is pretty much dead (only 1 person,? Or Liar x Liar (if you don't mind working from magazine scans)?
ReplyDelete(But out of all the previous replies, Kurenai Ouji also sounds good too.)
Thanks for new chapters!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see flat. Or Migawari Hakushaku would be great as well.
TL here, thanks as always for the support. I appreciate everyone's input, and I'll check on this thread while on my "vacation". These TLs are for you guys, so your input one of the more important factors as I drive to a decision.
ReplyDeleteSome thoughts on my mind:
-Well I won't make excuses, I enjoy cloth road because it's the R.O.D. author. I find the universe intriguing, but I've only read the first 2 volumes so far. I noticed it's out to 3 SL, while 10 volumes have been printed. This composes most of my motivation to do it, but I have no problem enjoying it myself if the interest isn't there.
-I will *probably* try to shift into a "TL on the weekends" thing, with the same thread structure as we have been running up until now. Sometimes I tend to get that momentum and run with it, as you can see from the 4-chapter release. I'd like to release with the same speed as Usagi Drop, but I can't promise anything better than a weekly cadence as things are now.
-As I try to shift to this model, I have created an email for people to contact me: |adogwaffle at gmail|. If anyone wants to voice concerns about TL quality, make suggestions on how we can improve, or anything for that matter, please don't hesitate.
-I've thumbed through some My Girl (i.e. 10-ish pages), it's pretty emo dialogue. It might be the best series in terms of time to market though, so at the moment it's hinging on my ability to sit there and stare at it. I know that interest is probably the highest for this at the moment, and I'm keeping that in mind.
-Is Billionaire Girl still being released? I only see one volume out; I'm not averse to doing this if it's just cleaning house for a few chapters. I saw it before while trawling some of the raw sites, but more or less glossed over it.
-Moyashimon is tough, that's all there is to it. Tough to the point where I can only realistically do it along with other series if the audience expectation is something on the order of biweekly TL release.
If you made it to the bottom, I commend your dedication. Long story short, I am new to this, and there's a lot of room to improve, with many ways to do so. I'd appreciate any input as we continue to try to make something out of nothing.
Moyashimon is amazing, but definitely tough, stalling many a great translator. Biweekly is already much more than I am expecting from this series. I know at least a couple people who would love for Moyashimon to be picked up again.
ReplyDeleteThe only other series I can think of right now is Saint Oniisan by Nakamura Hikaru, but it's also pretty hard, and the volumes are slow in coming.
Thank you for Usagi Drop! I've been following it since chapter 01, so this recent stream of releases has been phenomenal. <3
You are amazing respectful guys!! Thank you so much for the hard work of translating and releasing Usagi Drop's chapters! ^__^ I'm already so excited and grateful for Usagi Drop releases but if I could request can I ask for I.N.V.U manga...? *^__^*
ReplyDeleteThanks in advance! I wish you best of luck! ^__^
+1 for Moyashimon.
ReplyDeleteSorry! I meant I.N.V.U. Manhwa in fact! "8-D ^^
ReplyDelete+1 for Moyashimon!!!!! A pity ppl don´t translate more this one...
ReplyDeleteAny chance for a direct link to the two fixed corrupt pages? Redownloading both chapters is a bit much when you have a quota.
ReplyDeleteWould also like to second Nicoichi, great series.
Just for you~

ReplyDeleteMany thanks. Also made me realise all the colour pages of 50 were in .png, so freed up some hard drive space as well.
i suggest doing oofuri (ookiku furikabutte)... but meh.. its a baseball manga
ReplyDeleteoh no :( epic cliffhangerrrrr... i hope someone can provide the raws for you guys :/ i think another group is doing the middle project... but its such an awesomeee manga that one :] u guys should do it!
ReplyDeleteOh my God, My Girl would be perfect! I started reading My Girl at the same time as Usagi Drop, they're both amazing.
ReplyDeleteThe raws are already being provided. Please don't buy them twice simply because Tom doesn't feel like telling you that the volume is being bought when it comes out.
ReplyDeleteI said if we didn't get any we'd wait till it comes out.......
ReplyDeleteso you guys did get...but you guys are fab...Usagi is a fantastic series
