No bird, no airplane, and of course, no Superman! - It's just the slow and lazy translator who goes by the name Prince and wants to start up again after weeks of obligations and sheer hate for Shueisha and JUMP for cutting Oumagadoki Doubutsuen.

So, we have one major arc left. Before that some funny transitional chapters which will eventually lead to the final arc.

Continue to share the Oumaga love until the last story is told, until the last release is out there for you guys, aight!? -- Let's go~~

Hi everybody!

Prepare yourself for what is in my opinion the greatest chapter of Oumagadoki Doubutsuen! It had everything a good Shounen Action Manga should have. Great stuff and a Sakamata (one of my top favs from this series) on his best!

ENJOY!!

Helloooo~, been quite a long time. Feels good to be back, spreading the Oumaga love and doing fun stuff in one's holidays.
Sorry for the little dry spell in releases. I will try to close the gap in the next few weeks. I will NOT abandon this series no matter how long it will go or when those fucktards from JUMP decide to cancel it. I promise! :)

Volume 3 in stores this week, 11/3/4. I'll be sure to get my copy some time soon. Enjoy this chapter, we're reaching the climax of the first major arc!

Hi folks~ this will be the last translation for the moment, since I caught the flu and don't really got the drive to translate Japanese right now. I hope you understand this.
For those of you who didn't hear it: Oumaga rose in the rankings this week, yay~! Then we have a second printing scheduled for Volume 1, Volume 2 to be launched December 29 and a special chapter in JUMP Next coming. We're facing good times here, I hope... enjoy this release!!

Hi there! A few days ago I had been asking if some of you were interested in the bonus stuff that Horikoshi-sensei stuffed in the first volume of his Oumagadoki Doubutsuen. So, here I am and I got the stuff ready for you guys.

Btw. Red Hawk will release this in a scanlation some time inbetween the weekly chapters. Keep looking forward to it~~

Thank you very much for getting Volume 1 of Oumagadoki Doubutsuen.

Hi there, dear readers. Now that I've caught up with JUMP (well, not completely up-to-date yet with the official releases but we're closing the gap here!^^) releases won't come as fast as they did the last few weeks... oh yeah, the Omake TL is done and is currently getting proofread. I'll post it some time this week!)

Here goes chapter 17. Fuka's last words <3 I love how Horikoshi handles that sorta stuff. :) [Same as with Kasai's monologue about Uwabami a few chapters ago...]

Extra Pages ahead!! Now this chapter was just amazing. Horikoshi really knows what to make from his extra pages! Oh, how I wanna slap each and every Japanese brat that doesn't get this series' awesomeness... plus, JUMP should fucking stop teasing me with their comments on how this series gained popularity if it still continues to stay in the danger zone. (Though the people following and discussing Oumaga on the net, especially on 2ch, really grew in numbers... I don't get this. :/)

Anyway, I finally got my hands on Oumagadoki Doubutsuen Volume 1 today and its stuffed with little extras. Would you guys be interested in the Omake stuff? If so, please write me a comment or press the thanks... Read More " "

Howdy! Great news: guess who's caught up with Weekly Shounen JUMP's chapters with his scripts!? :D Damn right, yours truly!
Scanlations will continue soon, but let Cuhw catch a little breath. That guy is doing all the cleaning, redrawing and typesetting by his own and I made him do like 5 chapters or so in 10 days which is damn tiring as you can imagine.

Fun trivia: This week's JUMP features chapter 18 of Oumagadoki, making it the longest series I've been translating up to this point. lol

Hey there, everybody! And another one... like I said before I think I will finally catch up with JUMP this weekend. Yesterday I nearly completed kingsize chapter 16 with its 23 pages (3 pages left) and then I will have about four days to finish chapter 17 before Vic scans the new raws.

Scanlations will follow little by little, we rather want to provide you with them with a little time in between than heap'em on you all in one go. Personally, I think this improves your fun reading...

Well, here goes 14. Served for RH, proofread by mitruly. ENJOY--!!

Hi there, folks!! Some of you may need a good fix of Oumaga after I have been busy writing a 20 pages assignment for my English literature class. For those of you I have great news. Just two words: triple release!
Damn right, the cool people from Red Hawk are gonna pull of this stunt with the little translation efforts yours truely showed last weekend.

On another note: Hell yeah! This series will survive the next round of cuts! It may be doing poorly on the magazine BUT there are three series doing worse, so it's safe for this time around.
And yeah, for those of you who didn't see it yet:

Hey there!! Guess who's back? - I was having a little birthday vacation but now I'm old and back to provide you a good dose of Oumaga!

That way I can finally make sure you guys get OD in the best quality possible... *happy*

Oh yeah, those of you who wanna support Horikoshi-sensei and this series: mark November 4th in your calendar! Oumagadoki Doubutsuen Vol. 1 will be in stores then!!

No kidding, four chapters in one week. I could have been able to release this one a little earlier... but as a fan I know it's better to get your fix little by little without too much waiting in between, so I didn't rush myself. This chapter marks the end of the first story that was not a self-contained one week episode and I thought it was quite cool. But what's lying ahead of us is the first major story arc, starting with chapter 8. I can tell you: great stuff. Seriously!
(It's super heavy on the text and might therefore take a little while to "overcome"... I'll try my hardest to catch up. Only four chapters to go and we're up to date!)

ENJOY THIS RELEASE~~~ :D

Wow, I think I've never been as productive translations-wise. And it shocks me even more - when I checked the latest translations - to learn that there is a fair bunch of guys who manage to release various chapters week by week. Seriously, I'm astonished and I salute to them. Big kudos!!

Anyway, Oumagadoki ranked fairly well this week and the manga entered its first bigger arc, ain't that great!? - I can tell you: Yes, it is. Great stuff waiting for you guys. Enjoy this brilliant chapter 6 for now!

When will we see Mr. Prince launch the next chapter? Well, we'll have to see. But let's keep our fingers crossed it will be by the end of this week, eh? Enjoy for now!!

Yo! I'm sorry, I suck ass at keeping up with translations... it's just that JUMP kinda kicked me in the crotch when I saw how the Japanese audience received the series. (It plummeted big time...) So, I'm not too sure how long this series might be able to survive. Right now it has a little buffer but this doesn't ensure a long run by any means.

PS: I hope some of you guys read my TL even though there are some SLs floating around the net for some time. But to be honest, they're not that great... (not that I'm boasting on how aweome mine are, though. Ah well, please enjoy them!)

Here we go again~! Alright, chapter 2 coming right ahead. This one was half as long as the first one and didn't feel as difficult either, that's great! I still need someone to double check the first chapter for accuracy before we can start working on a scanlation... I want to make sure you guys get a release of appropriate quality, so please bother with it for the time being. -- If you might know someone capable, push him to do the job. That'd be awesome!

Enjoy this one for now!!
