Chimamire Sukeban Chainsaw Ch. 75.5

Alright so here's the bonus chapter from volume 11 of Chainsaw which I'd skipped previously. As mentioned before this was just a little extra thing which Mikamoto did to help tie in with the movie's release (he actually published these sorts of things after each chapter of Satanister but stopped for whatever reason when he started Chainsaw). It's not amazingly insightful but hey, a (bonus) chapter's a (bonus) chapter.

Speaking of Mikamoto his latest series started in today's issue of Comic Beam. So far it's exactly what you could probably imagine Mikamoto putting out (the MC is also the spitting image of Geeko).

Chimamire Sukeban Chainsaw Ch. 76, Kentou Ankokuden Cestvs Ch. LXII & Survival Ch. 98

So it turns out this will actually be my 300th post on this blog. I dunno whether or not that's something to be happy about but in celebration here's a surprise triple release (it'll also mark three chapters in one week for Chainsaw/Survival, so threes all round).

First up then we've the start of the penultimate volume of Chainsaw. I've still the little bonus chapter from the previous volume to do but most of it's just Mikamoto shilling for the film, so it's not too important.

Then we've the next chapter of Cestvs. There are now three chapters left for the volume if you wanna try and keep this post's theme going.

And last but not least we've a chapter of Survival.

Survival Ch. 97 & Yuzumori-san Ch. 19

And here's another double (so perhaps that should be a double double).

First up we've a chapter of Survival.

And then we've the next chapter of Yuzumori. YMMV with the fighting game stuff at the start as Japanese fighting game terms aren't exactly my forte (I must also admit to being more of a KoF fan).

Due to my poor planning we're still a chapter behind, with chapter 21 being out on the 17th (so next Sunday). The third volume is also out this week meaning there should be another bonus coming too, not that I've gotten around to the second volume's yet anyway. In short we're eternally behind and I suck.

Chimamire Sukeban Chainsaw Ch. 75 & Somali to Mori no Kami-sama Ch. 19

And here's another double bill.

First up we've chapter 75 of Chainsaw. While this is the final actual chapter of volume 11 there's still a little bonus thing I've yet to translate (think of it as 75.5) so we're not quite onto volume 12 yet.

And then we've chapter 19 of Somali, which is a pretty dumb chapter all things considered.

Personal gripes aside we've now come to the end of the third volume, meaning we've caught up to what's been published in Japan. There are still three uncollected chapters remaining for which I do have the raws. They're fairly low quality though (yay for web raws) so we'll have to see if I can be bothered to work with them, else it''ll be a wait until November or something for the fourth volume's release.

Chimamire Sukeban Chainsaw Ch. 74 & Kentou Ankokuden Cestvs Ch. LXI

So somewhat unrelated news to start with, but it was announced earlier today that Seven Seas would be officially localising Devolution, with the first volume being out May 2018. This is obviously fantastic news and, if Seven Seas' previous acquisitions are anything to go by, probably means they'll be releasing the original Getter Robo at some point in the near future too.

With that in mind I will, at least for the time being, continue on releasing Devolution as I've done up till now. While I'm rather wary of doing something which has been licensed I can also appreciate that a good 10~ or so new chapters will have been released by the time the first volume comes out in English, and that it'll be a good few years before things are going to be fully caught up. Obviously if I get hit by a DMCA or something I'll stop, but for the time being I don't intend to do much differently. I will however stop putting direct downloads for the chapters up, so you'll need to directly rip them from Batoto or something if you care for that sort of thing. It also means I likely won't get around to redoing anything from tank scans, but I'd not exactly done much on that front anyway.

Big chunks of text aside here's the next chapter of Chainsaw, something I don't imagine ever being licensed in English. Only one (and a half) chapters left for the volume.

And then here's the next chapter of Cestvs, another title which'll forever elude English licensing. We're over halfway through the volume for this now too.

As one final note I realised I made a mistake in the dates, and that we're now two Yuzumori chapters behind, so that's something I'll try and remedy soon(ish).

Survival Ch. 95 & Youkai Banchou Ch. 1

And here's another double.

First up we've chapter 95 of Survival, sudden forest fire edition.

And then we've the start of something sorta new. I say sorta new because Youkai Banchou is actually the prequel to Kaiten One (which I of course started a few weeks back now), and features much of the same cast.

Truth be told I probably shoulda started this before I did Kaiten but fuck it we're here now. At 57 chapters it's a comparatively short series, so I'll hopefully be able to get through it fairly quickly.

If you're not familiar with it then it's a pretty wacky fantasy series about a bunch of elementary school girls who fight weird youkai and stuff. If nothing else it at least starts on a more focused note that Kaiten!
