Chimamire Sukeban Chainsaw: reflesh Ch. 8

And another one.

Bakutani's opening bit is apparently from The Tale of the Heike; no idea what the proper English TLs would have it as though (not, of course that anyone would be getting the reference in English anyway). If I were a competent TL I guess I could've localised it as a line from The Iliad or something, but thankfully I'm not.

As per the background romanisation in this chapter, the school they attend will now be St. Argento High School. Kinda unfortunate having to rename it twice, but such is the way these things go. Will go back and fix the earlier instances somewhen.

Chimamire Sukeban Chainsaw: reflesh Ch. 7

At long last something not Cestvs related (mind you 94 did actually come out a few days ago).

The most recent chapter in Japan for Chainsaw meanwhile is 10 so we're still three behind, eight is TLed though so shouldn't be as long a wait.

Kendo Shitouden Cestvs Ch. 91-93

And here we are. After a total of 247 chapters, 24 volumes, and over three years of effort involving who knows how many hours Cestvs is all caught up. While a grand achievement in its own right it does however mean we're now stuck waiting for new chapters which won't exactly be a regular thing; for a long time now the series has had a rather irregular serialisation and you should expect it to be a case of waiting months, at the minimum, between chapters from hereon (to give you an idea 91 came out February 15th, 92 came out April 12th while 93 came out June 6th).

Assuming each of the remaining fights take up about a volume's worth of content then the series should have around four years of serialisation left (granted I would expect the latter fights to be longer than what we've had thus far), though that's with the big assumption that it does simply end with Cestvs winning the tournament and gaining his freedom (which would, to be honest, a bit of a letdown as there are a whole range of plot points which wouldn't be resolved). Nothing we can do at this point but wait and see however.

For now though I can finally get back to my many other languishing projects, and maybe some new stuff now that what might well be my longest project is for the most part dealt with.
