Gekikou Kamen Ch. 18

Been slowly dropping behind on this once more, although I was genuinely sick the last couple of days which doesn't help.

I did finally manage to get around and sort out some digital rips for myself though, so I've chapter 19 for Gekikou and then the next five of Cestvs all sorted out. We'll see if the new year can be any more productive I guess.

Gekikou Kamen Ch. 17

Another day, another chapter, another instance of Yamaguchi's tasteful erotica. This chapter marks the end of volume two and also the start of the next arc, though quite what it'll entail is anyone's guess.

The next chapter is already out but the only public raws for it are horribly watermarked so I'm a little stumped at the moment. If someone reading this fancies ripping the magazine I'd be happy to cover the costs, otherwise I'll have to see if I can manage something on my own.

Gekikou Kamen Ch. 16

Had a few holdups so this chapter's out well later than it should be (not all of them my fault, surprisingly). Chapter itself has a also bunch of legal terminology and my legal knowledge in English is minimal let alone Japanese so YMMV with it all.

During our lengthy break volume two of the series went on sale. I've not bought it yet but from the contents page alone it seems one chapter (nine) was entirely renamed and I can only imagine the random rewordings that Yamaguchi's done. Shogakukan seem to have started some degree of shilling for it too, and had Shinji Higuchi (Shin Ultraman etc.) and Kazuhiko Shimamoto (Blue Blazes etc.) offer endorsements.

Public raws for 17 are out and it should hopefully be done soonish, 18 meanwhile is out but haven't seen anything shared for it yet so I guess we can say I'm technically only one chapter behind still...

Mahiru [One-Shot] & Shounen [One-Shot]

Was going through my PC when I stumbled upon a few one-shots that, despite having effectively been done for years had never been uploaded (there was in fact a third one-shot, though someone else had already beaten me to it). I would in the future like to do more similar releases so I'm tentatively labelling them as their own separate thing but given my current release rate, well, don't hold your breath.

Garo 1965-09 (later collected as part of Mokuzou Mortar no Oukoku).

This was actually done from magazine scans as I didn't realise at the time it'd gotten collected in a tank, the difference in quality is so minor however that it'd be more or less pointless to redo (and I know that no one would care anyway).

And with that we are (finally) all caught up. Gekikou is serialised in Big Comic Superior which is published on the second and fourth Fridays of each month, though given that I use public raws there'll always be something of a delay before I can even get around to the actual translation. As stated in the chapter itself though, the series is skipping next issue (out tomorrow) so we shouldn't be seeing 16 until the 23rd.

In the meantime we'll have to see if I can get some Cestvs done or something.

Gekikou Kamen Ch. 14

Now it really has been a long time since I've gotten any back to back releases done. This chapter's quite interesting in that it marks a slight return to Yamaguchi's more violent tendencies, though who knows how it'll develop later on.

It also has a bunch of random words that gave me more trouble than they probably should've and which I might well end up changing (or will be changed by Yamaguchi himself in the volume release), but such is the way these things go. Still, only one chapter left now.

Gekikou Kamen Ch. 13

I think this is the quickest I've released a chapter in months. Two left and we'll have caught up.
