Hey didn't I say that I hadn't dropped Akatsuki? Chapter 7 will be coming soon, although I will need someone to give me links to a download location for all the chapters up till the current one (since I haven't been downloading them)...I don't know if Rena kept scanning them, I hope she did. Anyway if anyone has raws of other chapters after chapter 7 then please pass me those links.

Anyone can use this translation although please wait until Keishou releases their version first for this chapter since they were the ones who provided a link to the raw of chapter 6 and got me back on this series. I am going to be keeping the other chapter translations public though now since I've decided to try... Read More " "

I just want to express my apologies to everyone who has patiently waited for the release ofthe translation, especially since there was no chapter last month. I've been particularly busy at work and had a major piece of assesment due on Monday the 12th of October, which prevented me from completing the translation until now. Since my university assesment for this semester is pretty much finished now I don't think that this will happen next month. Thanks once again for your patience.

Just another little update since I've been pretty scarce around these parts for the past month.

Work started up and it's good to get back into the swing of things, although they are giving me a lot of shifts at the moment. I've also got university (started about a month ago), and it's the first time I'm working and studying at the same time. So obviously I'm a lot more pressed for time than I was earlier on in the year.

An interview with Kuu-scans is coming. I've just sent off the questions to them and should get them back in the next few days.

I've shelved Defense Devil for the next few weeks until I've completed my university assignments. When I get stressed like this it makes it really hard... Read More " "

You know how some things just hit you like a ton of bricks? One day you are sitting around waiting to escape the dullness that your life has become and then the next you are bombared with a whole lot of commitments?

Three days ago we got a border collie puppy who we have named Belle. She's a little over 8 weeks old now and so is still basically a baby who requires constant monitoring and attention. Added to that my parents will be taking a trip to New Zealand for 8 days next week, leaving me as the only person at home to take care of her. She's really cute though, here is a picture:

(Just catching up with all the interviews that have been posted).

We're having the first of our dedicated Raw Hunter interviews this week with Finestela (technically Rena Chan and Vicissitude both do more raw scanning than english scanlating but they use the scanlator tag on their forum profile rather than the Raw Hunter tag, so yeah).

Finestela goes through the japanese file sharing sites to upload all the manga that don't get scanned by english speaking scanners. It's highly likely that you will have read dozens of chapters that were made available by Finestela, so make sure to show your appreciation to her.

StrangerAtaru, dedicated translator with over 450 translations posted here. It's a really good interview so read it through to the end. Go!

1. Please give an introduction of yourself. What manga you translate, if you are a part of any groups or just freelance etc.

Ataru's the name, translating is my game! A bit about myself...well, I somehow would like to keep some things secret but here's a few things I'll let go at this time: I'm in my late 20s (for those who want to research it: the day after I was born, the final episode of Doctor Who with Tom Baker aired in England...sorry, sis and dad were Who-villians when I was a kid), born,...

We're back with another interview and it's with the admin, well currently temporary former admin who will become admin again once study finishes, of NCIS - CassiusOS. NCIS, which stands for Nodame Cantabile I-something Scans (I assume), is a scanner of many different series including a number of different seinen, shoujo, and shonen. Note that the interview was actually done a little while ago but because CassiusOS was busy with moving it took a little while to get it done. Check it out:

Next interview is with Bomber D Rufi, well known for taking up one of the most text heavy series around (which is the manga featured in the picture above if you don't read it, which you should, cause it's great). He also translates a whole heap of other manga, which makes you wonder where he finds all the time. Read on to find out more about this guy.

Today we've got an interview with Vicissitude of Ju-Ni. Ju-Ni do a pretty bang up job working on Bleach every week and Vicissitude himself also does some scanning series from Shonen Jump and Young Magazine. There's some good stuff here so make sure you read it.

Apologies for the wait, but I had a number of university assignments keeping me occupied recently.

Today's interview is with Mr Death of the group J.A.C. (although some additional members have also answered some of the questions). They're currently working on the Jump SQ series 'Tegami Bachi', a series that must have the record for the longest first chapter ever (120 pages). So you should check it out.

Oh yeah, I also want to give a big thanks to c_k for helping to provide some of the questions for this interview.

Welcome once again to another Mangahelpers Interview, this time with the fairly newish Chinese to English translator Dark-san. Dark-san helped me come up with some of the new questions a few weeks ago so a big thanks to him for doing that.

As I said you get another interview in short succession to make up for the wait with the previous ones. This one is with the wonderful Rena Chan, which by the way is her name. The Chan part is the chinese family name Chan, not the japanese honourific -chan. So make sure you write it correctly. This was actually meant to be posted a bit earlier but Rena Chan wanted to make sure everything was well thought out and written.

In addition to her work in scanlating Rena also devotes a vast amount of time and effort scanning good quality raws for various series. Having recently scanned some raws myself I can say that she must have a lot of patience. Anyway enough about her, here's the interview.

Once again sorry for the long wait since the last one, there was a little problem with the text not showing up...there'll be another interview tomorrow to make up for lost time.

Today's interview is with Noodles Loves You, whose taken it upon himself to scanlate some manga that have not yet received the attention they deserve, specifically gag manga titles. He's looking for a translator for Inumaru Dashi, so if you want to read a manga about a nanny (or something) trying to take care of a bunch of kids who refuse to wear underwear then find a translator for him.

Once last one before I go to bed. Now I can't seem to find a chapter title for this chapter, and there aren't any more volume raws so I can't look it up in the contents page, so I guees no title. Oh, and I got all teary eyed for Ryuukou at the end.
