Getter Robo Devolution: Uchuu Saigo no 3-punkan Ch. 5 & Somali to Mori no Kami-sama Ch. 5
So here's two things I've not had up in ages.
First is Getter. I didn't realise that it'd been so long since I last put out a chapter of this (it's been so long chapter six is also out, woops). For the chapter Getter was on the cover page of the magazine, which was included in the shared raws for it.
As mentioned previously the first volume for Getter is due out in July. It's something I'll probably try and get hold of to re-scan, as obviously it'd be of a higher quality and it'd give me an excuse to try and shore up the translation (as well as consistently spell Ryoma throughout...), unless it has any interesting sort of extras it's not a priority though.
Something I forgot to mention last time though is that the magazine which Getter is published in is now available digitally, so if you ever felt like purchasing a copy but didn't want to import well, now you can.
And then we also have chapter five of Somali, where we're back to meeting new kinds of non-humans.
There's one chapter left of the volume, which I'll also try and get done quickly. Then the (hopefully) not so long wait for volume two will begin in earnest.
My editor's got the next chapter of Survival cleaned, while I've got the TL for Chainsaw done, so it'll be a toss up between those two for the next release.

Survival Ch. 22
Yeah so this isn't quite Somali, unfortunately work's gotten in the way of me editing that. I'll get it done eventually™.
In the meantime here's chapter 22 of Survival. This is pretty much the climax of the whole arc, so I won't say a lot on it. Though through it all you still get your wonderful facts about obscure Japanese texts from the 1800s.
My priority at the moment remains the first volume of Somali, but work may well get in the way of that.
Speaking of Somali Amazon has the cover up for volume two. The first volume of Getter has also been dated for release sometime in July, so that's something else to look forward to.

Chimamire Sukeban Chainsaw Ch. 13 & Survival: Shounen S no Kiroku Ch. 2
Had some time off work due to a shift swap so managed to get these two done today.
First up is chapter 13 of Chainsaw, which marks the end of volume two and sees things go once more from bad to worse. Only nine volumes left and we'll be caught up!
I didn't actually realise until a few days back, but the home release of the live action movie is coming up soon. Just from the previews it certainly seems amusing enough, so will have to give it a watch when a full rip is put up.
Next up is chapter two of the Survival remake. In which we have a somewhat familiar fishing scene.
Another wonderful bit of information I found out in the last few days is that this isn't actually the first remake/reboot of Survival. There was actually a prior modern retelling of the story, called Survival NEO, which was published for several chapters in Monthly Comic Fang, a short lived magazine by Leed.
The magazine itself didn't last long, and while it was apparently meant to move to another magazine I don't think that magazine lasted long either. It was never collected as a proper volume so I doubt I'll ever be able to work on it, but you can at least see it on an old magazine cover. In addition to this there was a Survival one-shot done back in 2000 for Shounen Sunday called Survival 2000, though again, I don't think it's ever been collected. Maybe one day I'll try track down an old copy...
Next up'll be Somali though.

Survival Ch. 21
And here's chapter 21 of Survival!
After the mass rat attack last chapter things are (sorta) looking up for once.
My current plan of action is to get chapter 13 of Chainsaw done (and with it finish off the second volume), get a chapter of the Survival remake out then do Somali. As is usually the case though work may well get in the way. I did finish Dark Souls III today though, so that's one less distraction at least!

Chimamire Sukeban Chainsaw Ch. 12
One chapter left and that's the volume done.
Other stuff's slowly coming along, work'll probably get in the way the next couple of days though.

Survival Ch. 20
And here's chapter 20 of Survival.
Feels like Satoru does nothing but shout AKIKO-SAN in this one.
Next up'll be whatever.

Eko Eko Azarak Ch. 2
Feels like it's been forever since I did chapter one of Azarak... Probably because it has been I guess. Two months sure can fly by.
Still, you should hopefully be able to appreciate the higher quality scans, and enjoy some more of the grim goings on of Azarak.
Next up'll probably be Survival.

Chimamire Sukeban Chainsaw Ch. 11
And here's chapter 11 of Chainsaw.
It's well known that being a Getter pilot is generally nothing but suffering, apparently this applies to tributes in entirely different series too.
There's only two chapters left of this volume so I'm hoping to be able to power through them at some point. Various other things are either cleaned/edited though, so who knows what'll be up next.

Survival Ch. 19
Another day, another Survival chapter.
This chapter sees things continue to get worse, somehow. As though having to put up with a mentally unstable girl wasn't bad enough for poor old Satoru.
In more general news the second volume of Somali has been slated for next month, so I'll endeavour to finish off the remaining two chapters from volume one before it's out.
The next bunch of Survival chapters are real short so expect them soon too.

Chimamire Sukeban Chainsaw Ch. 10
Into double digits with Chainsaw now.
Read Online | Download
This chapter had a rather irritating pun at the end which I couldn't think of any decent English equivalent for, so I had to stick a big old TL page in. I also changed the club Senzaki and co. are in to the machinist club as opposed whatever random thing I had before; I'll go back and fix it in the previous chapter at some point™.
Next up should be Survival.

Survival Ch. 18
Ever a man of my word, here's the long as hell eighteenth chapter of Survival.
Given it's ridiculous length there's a whole lot to it, from the conclusion of the deer business, to some good old fashioned reminiscing, to the emergence of an entirely new worry for Satoru.
The remainder of volume two is all shorter 20-40 page chapters, and the only other lengthy chapter like this is in volume three, which means releases should stay consistently quick(ish) from here on out. With this release Survival also ties with Heavenly Island for the series I've released the most chapters of, so that's nice too.
Next up'll be whatever.

Chimamire Sukeban Chainsaw Ch. 9
And so it ended up being chapter nine of Chainsaw.
This chapter is definitely something. There's a ton to it, including one very amusing reference to something readers familiar with another project of mine should instantly recognise.
In somewhat more sombre news the author of Orgia announced on Twitter the other day that the manga had suffered the dreaded axe, and would be concluding with its third collected volume. I always figured it'd be a short, three to five volume work, but it's still disappointing to hear. The main question now will be to see how rushed the ending turns out to be, though we've a fair number of chapters till then anyway.
Up next should be the next chapter of Survival. At the time of writing it's only got about 40 pages left to do, so should be done soon. I'm also about halfway through Azarak, but that'll be a bit longer.
