I'm done

It's not fun anymore.

I accomplished what I originally set out to accomplish. Stupid of me to set my sights on more. This was suppose to be a fun hobby, but in the last few days it's turned into something well, not. I'm going back to being an anon, where I can call someone an arrogant cunt in peace and not have to worry about PR.

WCW_TL still seems to want to translate Usagi Drop and Moyashimon on /a/ so nothing really changed except I won't be part of it. It's perfectly possible WOW SCans might release it. If that doesn't happen, I'm sure people on /a/ will typeset it eventually.

I don't be maintain this site anymore so someone put all the scans on mangatraders and Lurk or something if it isn't already up there.

It was fun for most of the time. Goodbye.

The status of the Collective

Good News:
My Girl is the project that WCW_TL believes he is going to do after his break.
Iffy News:
I probably won't be the one to typeset and do all that other stuff for the My Girl.

What happened? Well, a few days ago I got drunk and I WAAAAAAY overreacted to a guy (I felt was) acting dickish towards me by acting extremely dickish towards him on /a/ and it spiraled out of control. As a result WCW_TL had to go into full on damage control mode and our working relationship currently is, well, a bit strained, but I don't believe to any major extent.

As a result he has expressed that he would rather work with someone else for My Girl in light of this incident and the fact that I've said previously that I would prefer working on Moyashimon and didn't particularly enjoy My Girl.

If Wcw_tl is going to be translating the same way we did Usagi Drop, than it is relatively simple for anyone with even slight knowledge of Photoshop (Like me when I first started Usagi Drop) to edit the image and text and anyone with a gmail account to create a blog to put it on when it's done. Just so you guys know, Baka-Updates doesn't accept any group without a site/IRC/Forum and doesn't count /a/ as one of those.

I'm sure this won't be a problem for My Girl, due to the surprisingly(to me anyway) high number of people who wants to see it done, but if no one typesets any of his My Girl translations after say a week or two, I'll probably typeset. But I'm sure most of you guys have photoshop skills. And even if you don't, the people on /a/ for the most part is surprisingly helpful to any translation projects.

Now what does this mean for Usagi Drop and hopefully Moyashimon? WCW_TL has expressed an interest at the very least to finish Usagi Drop with me, which is great. For Moyashimon he has said that if the 3rd Volume is released in the coming months, he probably won't do it, otherwise, he says he does intend to pick it up at a later time.

Is anyone willing to buy and scan December to July's issues of Feel Young Magazine?

 

 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.

In case anyone is willing to provide us raws

For the supposed Spinoff this month:

Note, I'm not really sure if ch51 is in the December issue or the January issue.
 I don't know how well these sites work or if they're willing to ship outside of Japan.  Heck, it's very possible that they could be digital copies as well, I don't know.

And I'll fix the links to Ch47 and 50 when I get back home later tonight.

*47 and 50  should be fixed.

I won't be able to make a thread today

If you're reading this, and have the time please make your own thread and start translating WCW translator. If not, see you next time.

Ch 46

Ch 43v2 is done by the usual Anon who I've dubbed the Mysterious /a/non. I'll check everything out and release it tomorrow.

I guess I should also write it here since it's more visible. I was asked in the comment section about a My Girl thread on /a/ yesterday, and I'm assuming the anon is asking me to post the chapters on here. If that Anon who was translating My Girl on the /a/ thread wants to post it here, I'm more than happy to put it here. I know that Baka-Updates won't allow you to post a release without a project website.

Ch 43v2 will be released tommorow or the day after.

Edit: Forgot to do a small text on a page. V2 will fix this, but that's going to be a while for 45 and up. (At least 2 weeks)

 

 Ch 44

It seems that most of volume 8  is shorter than the last volume, with most of the chapters being only around 24 pages long rather than 33. 

It seems we might reach 50 faster than we thought, which would be a problem, since we don't have any raws.

Beginning of Volume 8

And I forgot the Credits page. IT's pretty much done by the same people as every other version 1 chapter except REEF cleaned all of it.

I wanted this title to Rhyme, Unfortuntally I just don't have the time

Probably nothing till next week

Probably.  Our Translator has things to do IRL till next week. Anyone else interested in translating go to /a/.

/a/ Collective Scanlation isn't a "group" perse. Everyone who helps out are volunteers who comes and goes as they please. It's just pure luck that we got a really fast and dedicated translator, typesetters and cleaners on our side for the last few days.

For anyone who's interested in helping out, here's an archive of one of our translation threads on /a/:
http://green-oval.net/cgi-board.pl/a/thread/50201001

This is pretty much how we do things. We don't translate things in the "scene" style. It's meant to be a collective effort with anyone who can help out. An opensoutce version of a scanlation team. A danbooru that edits images if you will. That's why it's called /a/ Collective Scanlation in the first place.

I forgot the credits page. Also End of Volume 7

All thanks to one particular anon who took the time to level, center text, adding the sfx, redrawing some scenes, and probably a whole lot more. All I did was rearchive everything and add the chapter images in. He didn't want any named credit so I just call him a Mysterious /a/non

Go to /a/ and show your appreciation to the guy. 

Also, how do I allow anonymous posting on blogger? 

I guess we are that lucky

I guess this is a response to Scantily Clad. Sorry for taking this project. Sorry for any feelings hurt. We're probably going to be done with volume 7 in the next two days. If you'd like to help just come to the /a/ threads. We'd gladly give you guys credit for anything you guys do to help. Any and all help is appreciated.
  

We're not that lucky!

Here's Ch 40 leveled and re-typeset by Cvazir with minor fixes by me. I learned a bit about typesetting today thanks to an anon on /a/ so the later chapters will look better than the previous ones I did.

No Chapter 41 today.  Though we have done 23 out of 32 pages of chapter 41 so it'll probably be out soon.

 

Chapter 40

Hotfile 

Mediafire

If we're lucky, 41 might be out today as well. 

You might also notice that the first half of the chapter looks better than usual. This is because a VERY helpful Anon cleaned and typeset that part. He used things like effects and different fonts for dialogues and even things like leveling!  

Hopefully earlier releases will be redone by the other Anon's as well. So await Version 2 for pretty much every chapter. Though, that probably won't show up anytime soon. 

 

Chapter 37

All thanks to the anon who translated the last two chapter of Witch Craft Works, who now DOES have an interest in this title.

With any luck 40 will be out by tomorrow. 

Edit: Oh, also anyone know how I can get my hands on chapter 51-55 of Usagi Drop? Can't find it anywhere. And can't buy it on hon-to.

Here's Chapter 36. Chapter 37 will  probably be released sometime this week.
