Yup, this is still going. I think my next issue should be out this week (for those who care) so expect the next installment soon.

1) These are raws being funded by my Shounen sunday subscription. (AKA My friggin' money.) I realize that I get the issues later than the leaks appear on the web, but this is something I'm doing out of pure self interest so I'm going to wait till my issues come in to do it.

2) I am probably not going to continue this once the arc ends, and I could very well drop it once it stops being interesting to me, hence me not adding it to my ongoing projects.

Welp, this is the last one I have until my next issue gets shipped. I'm hoping for good things. I've also done more translations in these two days than I have in the last month. I swear, translating is like a drug dudes.

And so volume 2 is done. The omake was a little easier to translate, but no less weird. I can see it being one of those weird four minute flash anime that seem to be real popular nowadays. In any case, Volume 3 came out recently so as soon as I have that I'll start on it. Recent stuff in the monthly mag suggests big stuff so I can't wait till we get there.

Yup. I've pretty much had the worst week ever illness wise, and I've finally decided to put my health as a top priority which I should have done from the start. So this means no translations of anything until I'm like fully recovered. I'm hoping this won't be too long....I've been pushing myself in every aspect of my life (including translations) for too long, and now I need some me time. I hope those who actually care will understand, and those who don't care will continue living their lives blissfully unaware.
