For a period as long as eternity, there has been chaos throughout the central section of the city, and within that chaos are humans with abnormal abilities, and due to their abilities have contributed to a majority of murders, they have been called the "KNOCKERS," those who knocked on the door to hell. The story revolves around the KNOCKERS themselves, where fierce battles occur between the powerful KNOCKERS, ones with masks and have their identities hidden. However, unlike Minezaag, Ausdyn focuses on the heroic attitude that lies behind the actual battles. Z-END and Volcano, both of which were thought to be nonexistent, appear in the center of the battle and fight to the death to put an end to the chaos!

From Hiroaki Samura, author of Blade of the Immortal.
Eating is great. Food eases hunger, drinks quench thirst. But what do you think of eating, well, anything? Gen seems to have encountered a girl that can eat anything. Yes, ANYTHING. Whether it be a cart, a suitcase, an air conditioner, a house, or even a human! The girl, Hiyosu, apparently can transform anything into food with her chopsticks, and she can throw up whatever she ate, but not in the same form as how it entered Hiyosu's mouth. This first phenomenon is witnessed by Metako, one of three punks who try to rob Gen of his money, and she eventually gives up after seeing Hiyosu consuming her friends. This is an odd yet humorous drama of food, Halcyon Lunch!

If you haven't checked out the one-shot Loop from last week, 3 scanlations for it came out- pick whichever version you like best. Darker than Black -Shikkoku no Hana- also got scanlated by the wonderful group Maximum7, and a reminder for all you WSJ followers- the first chapter of Kagijin came out with Ju-da-su translating the first chapter. Give thanks/comment for her hard work. Don't forget Kagijin had a one-shot prior to the serialization so remember to check it out while you wait for someone to scanlate the first chapter. The WSJ one-shot from 2 weeks ago, Lock On!, also got scanlated by Rycolaa. The ecchi manga featured in a shout out 2 weeks ago, Tsuri Chichi Nagisa, also got translated although the TL is pending approval, if someone is looking for something to scanlate.

As for this week, both Planet Waves, with Molokidan already translating the first chapter, as well as Those Who Chase the Ageha look interesting. Hopefully someone will be so kind as to translate/scanlate that series. How about you? Which series are you looking forward to reading/translating/scanlating?
