Biohazard: Heavenly Island Ch. 10

And here's chapter 10 of Heavenly Island, in which we find out some more on the producer's ambitions.

I forgot to mention this previously, but there's a small chance that the page order may be out of sync for any of these upcoming chapters. The raws I found for volume two all have a number of duplicate pages throughout, and while (after much counting) it seems as though they are simply duplicates which can be removed outright, there's always a chance that they're not. Although unlikely, if any pages are in the wrong order lemme know and I'll get them sorted as soon as I can.

The translation for the chapter 11 is already done, so hopefully we'll see it pop up shortly (or I'll be too tired from work again...).

Biohazard: Heavenly Island Ch. 9

And now back to Heavenly Island with chapter nine, in which we find out AD's fate.

As mentioned before, this marks the beginning of volume two, which has a total of 10 chapters (although it has a similar page count to the first volume owing to the fact it doesn't start with a massive 50 page piece).

I've actually got the next two chapters translated (as well as two chapters for another series and a few smaller things in the works) but I've been I've been too tired from work recently to get much finished up. Hopefully I'll be able to get some more of it done over the coming weeks though.

Survival Ch. 1

Well, I said I'd do something new before getting back to Heavenly Island and here it is, the first chapter of Takao Saito's Survival.

It's not very likely that anyone reading this will have read much of Saito's, but within the manga world he holds one of the most impressive records for he's the author of Golgo 13, the longest running manga series in existence which began publication all the way back in 1968.

Golgo 13 isn't Saito's only work though, as he's been involved with a fair number of other titles throughout his career. Survival is an older series of his, dating back to 1976. In it Japan has suffered a series of devastating earthquakes, and the protagonist is forced to survive as best he can. It's not the most original of topics, but it's enjoyable enough.

The version of the manga which I'm working from has six volumes in total, as well as a seventh extra volume which isn't part of the main story, so there's a fair amount to it.

For the time being though this will be on the back-burner, my intention is to finish off the second volume of Heavenly Island before really doing anything else. That said I do have a few other new series which I'm slowly working my way through at the same time, so maybe a one or two of those will also pop up.

Biohazard: Heavenly Island Ch. 8

And here it is, the eighth chapter of Heavenly Island! In this we see Claire realise that yes, she probably should have tried to contact Inez earlier.

While going through this chapter I realised that I'd actually made a couple of errors in a previous chapter. Most egregiously I mentioned that Claire was heading to a library, when in fact it was meant to be a museum, though I've since made the relevant corrections.

As mentioned before his chapter marks the end of the first volume. Volume two is out already and I do intend to get started on it at some point, though whether I get to it immediately or work on another series for a bit remains to be seen.

Biohazard: Heavenly Island Ch. 7

And here's chapter seven, where a number of poor locals are rather brutally taken out.

I know I said I might take a while with this but it turns out there wasn't much to work on (a fair number of the pages lack speech and are just SFX) so I got through it fairly quickly.

Chapter eight, the final chapter for the first volume, should be done soon too.

Biohazard: Heavenly Island Ch. 6

And here's chapter six, where AD ponders over the all important matter of purity.

We also see that, as ever in horror, all means of communication are conveniently lost or broken the moment the monster turns up.

Chapter seven may be a little late, as I've a few things going on in the big bad real world at the moment.

Biohazard: Heavenly Island Ch. 5

Here's chapter five, in which Claire spends her time idling around on a tropical island while everyone else is in mortal danger.

There's some funny Engrish about mid way through if you look carefully.

Chapter six will be out when it's out.
