Kendo Shitouden Cestvs Ch. 104

It's New Year's Eve and what better way to welcome in the New Year than how we started it, with a chapter of Cestvs. I'd actually endeavoured to get this chapter done on time (i.e. two months ago) but wasn't able to sort out proper raws until a few days back. A good lesson I suppose in actually trying. It does however mean that there's "only" a week to go until 105, assuming there's no sudden break or anything.

As a whole 2021's been a fairly scant year for releases. While I did really enjoy The Moon (and was able to finally get the one Gundam series out) a lot of my other projects have rather badly stalled (although it seems someone finished off Search and Destroy a few months back so that's one less worry). Hopefully 2022 will be better on that front, I'm certainly looking to be more aggressive with both new and old series.

Char to Amuro to Oi to: Yasuragi no Chihei e Vol. 1 [Redo]

It's been a quiet few weeks and to be honest I've not actually done much TL work on anything else, but here's a full batch of sorts for the Gundam stuff. There's a few TL changes, and I did some very quick, fairly shoddy redraws as well, but overall it's more or less the same as the individual releases, albeit marginally easier to DL.

I did at last take the opportunity to upload it all to MangaDex as well, though it's still more of a pain to upload things there than it should be. Hopefully I'll be able to get The Moon up as well fairly soon too, though I can't make any promises.

Char to Amuro to Oi to: Yasuragi no Chihei e Ch. 20-21.3 [End]

And that is that. Alongside the final chapter of the series proper there are two short stories following everyone's favourite mechanic, Astonaige, as well as an afterword.

I've spoken in the past about wanting to slot in more shorter works and this is the result of that. I don't imagine anyone out there is going to call it a masterpiece, but I think it's amusing enough for a probably sub 20 minute read, and for me as a TL it's nice to only be doing four pages of work a chapter, as opposed to say The Moon's 100+.

Thanks as ever go to my editor, Nady, and to das for the raws. If you'd like to buy the work it's available physically, and digitally. I would like to do some more Gundam series at some point (perhaps even something with an actual plot), but we'll have to see what takes my fancy.

Nearly done.

Biggest issue this time somehow ended up being trying to find an official quote for what Haro says in English; I'm far too used to just the Japanese.

Char to Amuro to Oi to: Yasuragi no Chihei e Ch. 9-11

A triple release today, as we cross the halfway point of the volume/series full stop.

Chapter 11's one of those ones which are clumsy to get into English. Having it as something like Red Comic probably would've been a better localisation, but I figure calligraphy shouldn't really be replaced, and it'd annoy my own sensibilities to "mislabel" kanji, so I opted for the far clunkier, bracketed solution. Oh well.
