Hooray for fail typesetting!

So yeah, have fun with it and stuff. I'll probably re-release it when I learn how to center text when typesetting. (I apparently really suck at it)

Hey, if anybody wants to translate some porn, I'm looking for a translator for Hakoiri. Contact me for more info.

What's all this, then?

So yeah, I have Ichigo 15, and Nyatto 2 was in it. What's happening? The dude's giving his cat-girl a bath. Hmm... sounds interesting enough, no?

Oh yeah, and ignore my half-assed cleaning on that page. I basically just scanned, rotated, cropped, and ran Topaz Clean on less-than-optimal settings. I can do better. ^_^ read more " "

Mild fanservice, a good storyline, and a guy beating the crap out of some chicks with a baseball bat. What more could you want in a manga? I've glanced through the first volume, and it took my heart. You may think that's sad that my heart could be taken by a manga, but you overlook one fact: I DON'T HAVE A HEART! I'm evil, remember? Back to the point, though. Even without being able to read Japanese, I can still understand what's going on, and I like it.

It also has an anime adaptation that is currently up to four episodes (maybe five, I can't remember). It's running on a simulcast via Crunchyroll and also available on illegal torrents... read more " "

Nyatto!

Nyatto serializes in Champion Red Ichigo, which is published bi-monthly. Chapter 1 appeard in volume 14, which released on June 5. Therefore, chapter 2 won't be available until early August at the earliest. Even then, it's a gamble. I've seen certain comics get skipped over months, before. With luck, there'll be a new chapter next month. If so, I'll go ahead and order the magazine. I'll scan it myself. Until then, Nyatto is done. Don't ask for any more.

I have a translation for chapter 6, but still don't have anything for the omake. That's all I need. It also seems as if kognus has vanished again. The poor guy has been having so much trouble in real life (something most... read more " "

The links to where you can download this release are listed in the news post to which I linked. To comply with the non-profit rule, I added a MediaFire link, but I'd strongly prefer it if the DepostFiles link was used. I've spent well over $100 on raws alone, so I have been financially raped a bit.

So yeah, I started editing this long ago. Before I finished, though, another group did it. Whatever. I put in too much effort to ignore it. Besides, I've never cared about anybody but me when it comes to scanlating.

[ Bracket Scans ] needs a translator for Kururi of the Sea and Shureishi. If you're capable and interesting in doing one or both of them, shoot me a pm. Kururi has a web raw for the first two volumes that can be located without much trouble (I even uploaded the first one to MH). Shureishi doesn't have one, but I do. I'm not making it public, though, so you'll have to ask me for it. I have the book for volume one of both series and have already scanned HQ custom raws.

Thanks shadow-skill for providing a translation that does not suck. ^_^ In fact, it's even awesome. +1 ego point for you, bub.

WARNING: This release contains raw nudity OF A CAT GIRL. Moe of that level is very hard to handle. Do not read if you have a heart condition, and be careful even if you don't. It's very sexy.

I found somebody willing to translate Shureishi... but he doesn't have the time to do it. I'm pretty sure this is like the sixth time something like that has happened. Because of this, I have decided that the following statement is most likely true:

"I will find the holy grail before I find a translator for Shureishi."

Please, prove me wrong. Oh yeah, and if any of y'all wanna translate Kururi of the Sea, be my guest. I have HQ raws for both of them.

Shureishi: MangaUpdates | MangaHelpers
Raw(s): Pm me. I don't wanna make 'em public.

Kururi of the Sea: MangaUpdates | MangaHelpers

I tried uploading chapter 5 to MH so that online viewing would be enabled. However, it compressed the upload to a height of 1400px with a notable drop in the quality of each image. Needless to say, I won't be doing that again. >.<

Chapter six will be out soon. Kognus still has no Internet, but he may have a work-around for that. We'll see, we'll see.

In the meantime, if you can translate, why not try for one of our other two projects (Shureishi and Kururi of the Sea!)? I'm fully ready to do either one. ^_^

*EDIT: The drop in quality isn't as bad as I first thought. I'm going to reconsider this. I may very well upload the rest of 'em. ^_^ read more " "

Yeah, so kognus has no Internet, now. He probably went through hell to tell me that, too. Without him, there is no way I can finish any more of Amaen. He said he'll be back, but I probably won't hear from him for a while. As a result of this, I declare that Amaen is stalled until his return. Once he comes back, though, we will instantly be trying to get as many damn releases out as possible. Idealy, I want to get all of volume two released within one week. That'd be kick-ass.

In other news, I have the books for Amaen volumes three and four. I'll order five through seven in the near future. I also have all of Shureishi v1 scanned and Kururi of the Sea v1 de-bound. I am ready to start... read more " "

Well? Anybody wanna translate a hentai for me? I've got a good one picked out. It's called "Accent". I don't care enough to find a link to it, but you can find it by searching for the word "Accent" (that's the actual name. It's 100% English. No need to translate that part) by Kageyama Yuta (aka Kagesaki Yuna, author/artist of Karin. She just uses this pen-name for her hentai works).

I'll be purchasing the book soon, but there is already a web raw for it. If you'd like, I can provide you with the link for it. The parts I want to scanlate are really good stories. Oh yeah, and don't worry. Unless you choose otherwise, I'll skip the stories where the girl does not look like... read more " "

I am done scanning volume one (chapters one through seven) of Shureishi. I've also begun to clean a few of the pages. I still need a translator for the series, though. If you're interested, please feel free to apply.

Also, I have an edited raw for anybody who wants it. I'm not going to submit it to MH, but if you'd like to read it, feel free to send me a message. read more " "

Project: Shureishi
Raw Obtained: Volume 1 HQ Raw
Translator: NONE

Project: Kururi of the Sea!
Raw Obtained: Volume 1 Ordered (HQ Raw coming soon)
Translator: NONE

The part in bold makes me sad. Please make me un-sad. If you can translate Japanese to English, I'd greatly appreciate some of the assistances. Oh yeah, and if you can do Chinese to English, I'm pretty sure I found a Chinese raw for both of 'em. So yeah, that'd help too. ;)

Chapter 6 ~
- Cleaning: 100%
- Translating: ~50%
- Typesetting: ~50%

Volume 2 Overall ~
- Debinding: Complete
- Scanning: Complete

Chapter 7 ~
- Cleaning: ~10%
- Translating: 0%
- Typesetting: 0%

kognus is very busy, atm. I can understand, of course. I just got through a little over half of my finals, so it's understandable. Chapter 6 will be out whenever his schedule clears up. I can typeset at about the same speed he can translate, so it shouldn't take too long. Chapter 7 will follow shortly after it.

Oh yeah, and if you're interested in translating (J->Er/El) an extremely perverted seinen manga and/or a hentai, please let me know. I have three new projects that we shall be starting, soon (one of... read more " "

MangaToshokan Link: Read in Un-compressed High Quality!

Here it is: volume 1 chapter 5! Hooray!

Yeah, so you'll notice this one isn't a joint with NoName. While kitkatz was doing a good job on the typesetting, I decided to go ahead and do the full editing myself. I need to get more learned in typesetting, anyway. I feel like I did a pretty good job on this chapter. ^.^ Just keep in mind that it'll be slightly different, typesetting-wise in comparison to 2-4. It's more or less like how dosetsu did it in chapter 1.

As usual, let's give a big thanks with a side order of kudos to dosetsu from AnimeSigma for providing a custom-scanned raw for us. He made me hate web raws with that HQ raw. We have one more chapter to do from it, so it's lasted for a good few months. Hooray! (again)

Now then, chapter 6 is currently still being translated. I got chapter 5 done so fast cuz the trans was done right after I finished 2 & 4. Chapter 6 will take a little longer. I apologize for that.

Finally, volume 2 has been debound, and I have begun scanning it. Enjoy this link to the HQ edited scan of the cover: HOORAY!

Alright, enjoy this unusually epic chapter, ya bastards.

WARNING: This chapter DOES NOT contain any raw nudity. So if you've had a problem with the last few chapters (due to being a wimp and/or pansy), you can finally enjoy a chapter of Amaenaideyo!!
+ on Apr 23, 2009 as Release
I accidentally dropped volume 2 while I was carrying it to the iron to debind it. I took a close look at it, though. It appears to be undamaged. Any little bends or whatever that may have resulted from this will be fixed during the editing, so it should be no big deal. Sorry about that. I'll begin scanning it, soon.

Oh yeah, and chapter 5 is just about done. I'll release it later today.

UPDATE: Volume 2 has been debound. I'll commence the scanning once chapter 5 is released. read more " "

MangaToshokan Link: Read in Un-Compressed HIGH QUALITY

OMG NO WAI!!! HOW DID YOU RELEASE THIS FAST!

Yeah yeah yeah, I know. There's been a gap of... like... longer than the original serialization between our releases. That should no longer be the case, though. I actually finished editing both chapter 2 and 4 at the same time. I just didn't have the translation for 4 proof-read at that time. That's the only reason this one is later. I was gonna release 'em both at the same time.

So yeah, enjoy this UberHQ release of Amaenaideyo!! chapter 4! We're running low on volume 1 chapters. As usual, I'm still glad that dosetsu (AnimeSigma) generously gave us those v1 raws. As for v2, we have it covered. I bought the book and will be scanning it in soon. We are covered through chapter 12. I'll order volumes 3 and 4 in the near future.

Also, this'll be the last chapter that kitkatz (NoName-Scan) will be typesetting. From 5 onwards, I'll be taking care of the full editing process. As a result, the final product won't look the same as 2 through 4, have. It'll be more similar to chapter 1 (which was edited by dosetsu). I'm perfecting my typesetting skills as we speak.

Chapter 5 is about 32% of the way done, btw.

WARNING: This chapter contains uncensored nudity. It also jumps right into it. You'll be seeing some nipples pretty quickly. They also appear near the end of the chapter in better quality. If the previous three statements don't make you happy, this release is not for you. Just FYI.

Did you enjoy chapter 2 the first time around? Well guess what: ENJOY IT AGAIN! Except this time... IT'S IN UBERHQ!!! Does that make this awesome? Of course. The question is just how awesome that is. Refer to the statement below that mathematically states just how awesome it is.



This chapter features UberHQ fanservice, UberHQ battles with dolls, and an UberHQ parody page. Yeah, that's right. I actually remembered to include one, this time (I forgot to put one in on the original ^.^).

WARNING: This chapter contains ecchi scenes of pure fanservice that are NOT censored. If you cannot handle this, please visit your local Walmart. I heard that they're having a 25%-off sale on balls. Obviously, you need some.

It pains me to report this. Today at about 12:28pm, I ate the last bagel. There are no more bagels in the pantry. This is a huge crisis! I want everybody to know that, while this is a problem, a solution has been planned. Our financial adviser is currently preparing a grocery list. I will make a pre-planned trip to the store, later today.

Once again, I stress: please do not be concerned. This problem will be fixed in a timely manner. You have my word. We shall have bagels in no time at all! That's a promise.

Yes, you heard us correctly. As you know, the process of scanlating manga is one that is very long, difficult, and, without any doubt, expensive. We've already used up all of the money from our investors, and our stock just hasn't been rising. As a result, we've had to make some budget cuts. I shall explain what will be changing now.

First Item: Raws
We can't afford raws, anymore. As a result, we will be obtaining all of our raws from local newspapers and cheap connect-the-dots books. You may be wondering how this can possibly get us actual raws from the mangas we scanlate... well, it doesn't. That's just a sacrifice we're going to have to make. But hey! Who knows?

That took FOR-FRICKIN'-EVER! Sorry about that. kitkatz vanished, but she materialized in the IRC, today. She quickly finished everything that was left of chapter 3 and went straight to work on 2 and 4. Yeah, those'll be done, soon. kognus also has all the way through chapter 4 done with bits of chapter 5. We'll have through chapter 6 out pretty damn quick. That's my goal.

What about after that? Like I said before, I ordered volume 2. After it arrives, I'll also just order 3 through 7 so I don't have to worry about it anymore.

We have 2 new series that I want to do: Shureishi and Kururi of the Sea. If you are interested in translating, editing, or typesetting either one, or Amaen, please contact me. We are always looking for help. =)

Enjoy this UberHQ release!

Alright, I haven't said anything about what's going on, lately. Let me start off by saying that WE ARE NOT DEAD. Yes, that is correct. All of us are still alive and doing well. Please stop checking the obituaries. It is futile. However, if you do happen to find one of our names in there, please let me know. Especially if it's kitkatz. I haven't seen her in like over a week. >.<

ANYWAY... the main question is Amaenaideyo!! chapter 3. After like 3 grueling weeks, the translation is finally 100% done. As an added bonus, kognus had the urge to translate chapter 4. That is 100% done, as well. In fact, chapter 4 was translated before chapter 3! HOW FUNNY IS THAT?! You have no idea how hard I... read more " "

Check out this release on MangaToshokan, the only high-quality online reader that DOESN'T SUCK!
MangaToshokan Link: http://www.mangatoshokan.com/read/amaenaideyo/384+203/1

"Huh? WTF? Didn't you guys already release this?" No. We released a translated version on web raws that have been around for so long that I couldn't even find who scanned/pre-edited them. THIS ONE, however... yeah, that's no problem. Dosetsu bought the book and scanned the entire first volume. For the first 6 chapters, we're using a custom scanned raw that is not compressed until the very end... and the compression does absolutely nothing to any part of the release except the file-size. Yes, that's a good thing.

This chapter is presented to you in UberHQ, a feature that I have declared the new [ Bracket Standard ]. What is UberHQ?

High quality manga derived from high quality raws.
- Each page is a fully-cleaned image that is presented in a fashion that the original artist would surely respect at a resolution of 1050x1500 (width is larger for spreads, of course).

Fully redrawn images.
- None of this "paste the text over it and wing-it" crap. We've fully erased the original text and redrawn everything behind it. There won't be any remnant of there being text there before ours.

Grammar-Nazi Approved Translations.
- I got my grammar-nazi friend to check the text. If he's so picky that he'll complain about the word "Jeez" not being spelled correctly, you can rest assured that everything is probably 100% logical and grammatically correct.

In short, UberHQ is on par with, if not better, than purchasing the book in stores. If I ever end up buying a license for this series (which is actually more of a possibility than you just laughed-off), this is the quality you would get when you pay me. (You are planning on buying the licensed version when it comes out, right? RIGHT?!)

Now then, enjoy. BUT... before you do... please read this warning:

WARNING: This is an uncensored release... IN UBERHQ. Therefore, there is light nudity... IN UBERHQ. Please, be warned of that... IN UBER... wait, nvm.

You may be wandering where it is. Well, I'm well aware of the big delay. I was hoping to have it out sooner, but we had a few.. "unexpected delays". These delays include, but are not limited to:
~ A new high quality raw provided by AnimeSigma.
~ A new experienced typesetter from Noname scans.
~ A new editor who seems to have too much time on his hands.
~ The website.

All of this stuff can lead to nowhere but good things. It's just taking a while to set up, namely the website. While the Amaenaideyo project is pretty much now out of my hands, I still have the website to code up. As for the current progress on the chapter, here it is: translation is near done, and the editing is about 1/3... read more " "

Did you know that? I sure as hell didn't. Holy crap! Since when? I dunno. Whatever, that's awesome! Volume 1 has apparently already been released. I'm gonna have to look into this. The Japanese version was really good. I'm curious to see if the dub can hold up to it.

On a side note, this means that the manga may be on its way to being licensed, which is good and kinda sucks. It's good because... well, it's good to get licensed. But it's also bad because... we just started this. I don't wanna drop it this fast. >.<

Oh well. Be sure to check it out! The anime is being released in America under the title "Ah My Buddha!". read more " "
