Kentou Ankokuden Cestvs Ch. C

What better way to end the year, than to finish it with the final chapter of volume 11 of Cestvs (which also corresponds to its hundredth, not that I think Wazarai or Young Animal did anything particularly special to mark it).

Only four volumes, containing 54 chapters remain...

And then we've chapter 30 of Youkai, yay for small milestones. 

In somewhat unrelated news a chapter of Golgo which I helped out on was also finished up the other day, bringing my total Golgo chapters for the year up to three or something. Maybe 2018 will see more of Duke Togo...

Eko Eko Azarak Ch. 28, Youkai Banchou Ch. 29 & Yuzumori-san Ch. 27.1

For fairly obvious reasons I won't be around for the next few days, so here's some early Azarak/Youkai alongside a certain other, long absent series.

First up then it's Azarak. Only two chapters left for the volume.

Then we've Youkai. This release is a little patchwork, the colour pages at the start coming from the magazine version of the chapter (granted they're more or less the same quality). With Youkai ending on chapter 57 this release also means we've passed the halfway point, which is probably good news.

And then we've the first (part of a) chapter of Yuzumori in, well, quite a while. The chapter cuts off at a fairly awkward spot but that's simply how it was published, and it was enough of a rush getting these 12 pages done as is. I had actually been thinking of doing the six or so bonus pages from volume four instead of this, but figured people might consider it a bit of a dick move while we were still two chapters behind. Hopefully things will be quicker with 27.2/28, though experience would cast some doubt over that.

In completely unrelated news the fourth volume of the Survival remake has now been dated for a late February release. Curiously the synopsis mentions Satoru setting off from the island, encountering a soldier, and finding the ruins of Tokyo, which would make it quite a departure from how the original went, for better or worse...

007 Series Ch. 5-5.5

I was gonna write up a long post about being glad to have finally finished a volume of this (I released the first chapter on the 20th of December last year), but it's late and I'm tired from work so screw it.

Also included in this release is the bonus interview which was conducted for the re-print, which covers a bit of background leading up to the publication of the series (as ever your mileage may vary with the TL, especially as what's covered is not exactly my area of expertise). Given the age of some of the stuff discussed I have also included a few notes for things which probably aren't too well known in English.

Eko Eko Azarak Ch. 27 & Youkai Banchou Ch. 28

And five for Youkai.

Also as stated before, Yuzumori is still being worked on and with any luck I'll manage to get the next chapter out this week.

Kentou Ankokuden Cestvs Ch XLV C & Majonna: Mikamoto Rei Extra Works Ch. 5

This'll be my 400th blog post, so in honour of such a momentous occasion have some more Cestvs alongside another one-shot from Majonna.

Ever one to follow proper crediting procedure, I should note that the translation for the opening graffiti comes from Kristina Mihor's Graffiti and the Literary Landscape in Roman Pompeii, the relevant page thankfully being available for free. Curiously the graffiti isn't meant to have been in reference to any particular Sabina, though as always it's impossible to know whether or not this was something Wazarai knew of (granted he never states that it is in relation to Poppaea Sabina).

And only 30 chapters left of the latter...

Whew, progress.

Also to whoever it was who asked me earlier, yes Yuzumori is still being worked on, can't offer any ETA on it however.

Eko Eko Azarak Ch. 26, Kentou Ankokuden Cestvs XCI & Youkai Banchou Ch. 26

The stars have aligned and I've somehow made it to a triple release today.

First up we've this week's Azarak, with which we hit the halfway point of the volume.

Then a surprise Cestvs release.

And then this week's chapter of Youkai, in which we begin volume four. At the start of the week chapter 14 of Kaiten came out and I've got to admit I wasn't particularly impressed by it. So much so that if things stay as they are I might well not pick it back up (who would've thought that the guy who released Redman would have some sort of standards). Hopefully that doesn't happen though.

Oh and in completely unrelated news Iron Ghost's first volume has also been dated for a January release, though I don't imagine it'll have any bonuses or anything.
