<br />
It's been forever since my last release, and I'm super sorry about that. ='( School has been insanely busy since I started my second-entry program, and all my time has been devoted to either that or what meager social life I can still manage between exams and assignments.<br />
<br />
I have a few announcements today:<br />
<br />
1. You may have noticed that another group has started to release chapters of Sekai no Hate from Chinese scanlation releases. I will not drop the project, but instead I will release HQ chapters when I get the Raws, which hasn't happened yet since I know HaruHime has been super busy with their real lives too.<br />
<br />
2. Eleven Soul is officially dropped. Manga Syndrome told me about their intentions to drop it a few months ago, and I was debating whether I could still work on it by myself. Well, I decided I can't. =( So the project is dropped. I encourage other groups to pick it up!!! It's a good manga.<br />
<br />
3. My releases will likely be delayed for a good while, at least until my midterms are over, so that's the middle of November. I know many of you are getting impatient, but this is all volunteer work that I do in my spare time because I want to give back to the community, so when I have no spare time, I release no chapters.<br />
<br />
Bottom line: If you want more chapters, join me! I'd really appreciate a few cleaners.<br />
<br />
<br />
That's all for now, and hopefully I'll be back soon!<br />

No progress so far. =(<br />
<br />
So now I'm recruiting <b><u>cleaners</u></b><br />

Not much to say this time. Enjoy the release!<br />

<br />
Today I have two exciting announcements~<br />
1. I'm going to pick up a new project soon - Kiniro Kishi by Nao Tsukiji. This is a manga by the same author of Adekan, so you can count on the same dark plotline, awesome art, and borderline gay jokes.<br />
2. I have raws for Lamento now! They have gutter shadows so it'll take much longer to clean, but I have them! Thanks a million to Riziak. <3<br />
<br />
But for now, more Sekai no Hate. Thanks again to Hime from Haruhime Scans for scanning for me!<br />
<br />
Kawaguchi's first name is RYUU, not Takashi as was stated in chapter 1. <_<;; That's what happens when raws are too small to read the furigana... Sorry, it's fixed now!<br />
<br />
To everyone who's hating on Kasuga... don't, you'll feel like an asshat later. I have such a soft spot for him, omg. ;A;<br />
<br />
Here's the release:<br />
♥<a href="http://bitshare.com/files/he9vhhet/-KakerA--Sekai-no-Hate-v01_ch03.rar.html" target="_blank">Volume 1 Chapter 03</a><br />
<br />
This marks the end of the first volume; there's a side story about Azusa's past too, which will be the next release. =)<br />
<br />
Enjoy!Kakerahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11343164536225711747noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6880434716864873192.post-47140276951976881922012-05-18T07:19:00.000-04:002012-05-20T18:53:09.688-04:00Sawareru Taion chapter 2 [end]Surprise! A random release which is pretty different from my usual stuff.<br />
<br />
Rosen, a friend from the French group <a href="http://black-butterfly.over-blog.org/" target="_blank">Black Butterfly</a> messaged me a while ago about Sawareru Taion, a two-chapter BL short story. The first chapter was released by Dangerous Pleasure 2 years ago, and she asked if I could help her release the second and last chapter.<br />
<br />
Synopsis (MU): Toshiya is a university student who have always been attracted to older men. He enjoys the class of Kawashima whom everybody dislikes. Until a sudden turn of events happened and they started living together...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Unfortunately, the raws were really bad quality... They were so bad that I decided to package the Chinese scanlated title page in the archive. That page was beyond saving, despite the efforts of Rosen, who cleaned the chapter. It'd a push to call this MQ, but oh well; It was nice to do a joint with a friend and put this project to rest~ ^^<br />

Volume 1 Chapter 3Today I bring the long-awaited Kare wa Diablo! chapter 3. Many apologies for the haitus. m(u__u)m<br />
<br />
This chapter is hilarious; with this, the manga has firmly established itself as a parody of the shoujo genre. :'D Thank god, because from the very beginning, I couldn't see it taking itself seriously.<br />

<br />
There was a lot of text in this chapter. x__x Thankfully most of it was easy text. I'm not 100% certain about Grandier's name, since a search of the katakana got no returns. =/ But he IS modelled after Andre Grandier from Rose of Versailles, so... hopefully. If anyone has a logical correction for the romanization, please let me know.<br />

Kare wa Diablo will be released tomorrow or the day after, and then I'll work on Sekai no Hate chapter 3, which will probably be released in early June since I have some real life stuff coming up.Kakerahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11343164536225711747noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6880434716864873192.post-74702516001012312172012-04-30T22:37:00.000-04:002012-05-01T11:39:54.009-04:00Lamento~beyond the void~ chapter 3Finally, a new release!<br />
<br />
I apologize for the total lack of activity for the past month or so. It was exam/final projects season and... well, for those of you in university, you know how that goes. For those of you who don't know, it was hell and I got very little sleep, so scanlating got shoved aside for more important real life matters.<br />
<br />
I've decided to slow down the pace and not release at a breakneck pace (every 2-3 days like I was doing earlier). This will mean less mistakes and (hopefully) a better flow to the translation, since I'll be taking more time with it.<br />
<br />
But enough with the chatter, here's the release!<br />
♥<a href="http://bitshare.com/files/zcf95ygk/-KakerA--Lamento--Beyond-the-Void--v01_ch03.zip.html" target="_blank">Volume 01 Chapter 03</a><br />
<br />
I changed around the font a bit. I was using only calibri in the beginning for... I don't even know why. I stuck with it in chapter two for consistency, but I decided to change it because it was just bad typesetting.<br />
<br />
Now Lamento Volume 1 is completely scanlated (there was a little author blurb at the back, but I didn't translate that. If anyone's interested, I'll finish that and post it in my next blog entry)<br />
<br />
[edit] Lamento is temporarily stalled. I have no good RAWs for volume 2. I did find LQ raws online, but they're small and very very low quality. Not even workable for LQ releases, so no Lamento until I get scans! I'm buying the tanks myself, but I've never scanned so I don't think I'll be scanning my own RAWs.<br />
<br />
<b>If anyone can scan Lamento volume 2 for me in either Japanese OR Chinese, that'd be awesome!</b><br />
<b><br /></b><br />
Next release will be Eleven Soul, then Kare wa Diablo, then Sekai no Hate. After that, I may pick up a new project since Lamento is stalled for now.Kakerahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11343164536225711747noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6880434716864873192.post-4224634810393044082012-03-16T15:45:00.006-04:002012-03-17T22:14:22.206-04:00Sekai no Hate chapter 2The long-awaited Sekai no Hate chapter 2~ the cliffhanger is resolved, and we're left with yet another cliffie.

Many thanks to Hime of <a href="http://www.haruhime.net/" target="_blank">HaruHime Scans</a> for scanning the raws for me! ♥ And of course thanks to Rosen for the wonderful birthday present of a new blog layout, and for introducing me to Hime. =) You girls are awesome~<br />
<br />
I've been on a semi-haitus mode lately due to school and summer preparations; I have some interviews coming up, so I've been busy making myself a nervous wreck. Sorry in advance for the lack of releases. .__.<br />
<br />
Now enjoy the new release, and I look forward to your feedback!<br />

p.s. Don't forget to download the release to support the purchase of raws! ;)<br />
<br />
p.p.s. <u>In the Chocolate has been released by another scanlation group</u>. I'll be dropping it from my projects list, I haven't done much except clean the first few pages, so it seems pointless to make a release.<br />
Sorry about the re-translation request(s) I've received; you'll have to try with <a href="http://dayoftheriver.tk/" target="_blank">Day of the River</a>.

<br />
I would like to thank <a href="http://www.jcafe24.net/" target="_blank">Spiritovod</a> for letting me know about the JP raws. They look much better and this allows me to use the Japanese text. =) As a result, the second release is much better in quality! ^^<br />
<br />
I've also moved all my files to bitshare, which pays $0.003 per download. It's meager, but eventually I'll have enough downloads to fund the purchase of tankoubon for future projects.<br />
<br />
I figured this was a better way than asking for donations, since I'm also one of those people who are reluctant unless I know exactly what's going to be done with my money. xD<br />
<br />
<b>So, if you want to support me and get more releases, then just download the releases!</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
Without further ado, here is chapter 2:<br />

<br />
Enjoy! I look forward to your feedback~<br />
<br />
p.s. No release for the next week or two. I have an anime convention to prepare for, and then it's back to school for more midterms. Oh, life...<br />

<br />
I really do love this manga. <3 It has a unique plot, lovable characters, and great delivery. All plot threads were neatly tied at the end; nothing was left hanging, and it even left you with a thought-provoking question. I don't think I could have asked for a better ending, considering it's a tragedy. xD Man, I love this mangaka's stuff.<br />
<br />
Enjoy the finale of Rec!<br />

Thoughts [spoilers, highlight to view]:<br />
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #f3f3f3;">They really used the gimmick of not crying well. <3 The line that went like "You cry because you treasure yourself, and that means someone loves you" is the key to the whole story. Aizawa never cried because no one truly loved her, and she couldn't understand intense feelings of lost love, which is why she didn't cry during the movie or when her cat died... when she found out how much Satoru loved her from the video - so much that he would use the last moments of his life loving her - she cried, because she treasures herself and his love for her. That's my interpretation anyways... lots of food for thought.</span>Kakerahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11343164536225711747noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6880434716864873192.post-66936029832558157582012-02-06T12:14:00.002-05:002012-02-06T18:13:10.668-05:00Eleven Soul Chapter 1 [joint with manga syndrome]New project! \(*o*)/<br />

In the mid 21st century, the human race is facing a test.<br />
<br />
Genetic engineering has changed the world, and with huge profits, research had accelerated accordingly. An “immortality” gene no longer seemed like a mere dream. However, a lab sample containing this gene escaped, creating a new life-form that took in genetic material from the natural world, evolving into an enemy that began to invade the human world.<br />
<br />
The “Shaher” are now a force capable of defeating human military forces, and both North and South American continents have fallen under their control. In Japan, the government has created a “Samurai” unit to oppose the Shaher, utilizing soldiers enhanced with nano-machines to connect with an armored exoskeleton.<br />
<br />
It is at this point that Tsukahara Takemichi is assigned to the 1st platoon of the “Samurai Force”<br />

This is a joint project with <a href="http://mangasyndrome.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Manga Syndrome</a>~ ^^ Kudos to them for keeping on top of everything and responding so promptly! It's a pleasure to work with you guys~! =D<br />
<br />
This is my first time working on a shounen! How exciting~ I quite like this series! I read through two volumes of the raws, and the manga is pretty good imo. =)<br />
<br />
I cringed at some of the scifi explanations lolol. As a science student, that transgenic stuff makes no sense from my point of view... unless they're breeding like... super bacteria. XD In two years? Oh dear.<br />
<br />
Enjoy the release! I know a lot of you are waiting for the finale of Rec, so I'll try and get that done soon. ^^Kakerahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11343164536225711747noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6880434716864873192.post-29575822512942791042012-02-03T12:59:00.002-05:002012-02-04T01:28:48.994-05:00Poll results and progress updateThe poll is now closed, and the results are...<br />
<br />
<b><i>"Which project do you Prefer?"</i></b><br />
<b><i><br />
</i></b><br />
Rec - kimi ga naita hi - <b>63 votes (60%)</b><br />
Lamento ~beyond the void~ <b>24 votes (22%)</b><br />
I like both of them equally <b>11 votes (10%)</b><br />
Neither. Start another project! <b>7 votes (6%)</b><br />
<br />
I was pretty surprised with the poll results. xD I like Rec more, too! ♥ But I thought it'd be pretty even between Lamento and Rec. Lamento has a pretty dedicated fanbase, you know! But maybe the fangirls haven't discovered the manga yet... or they don't like the lack of buttsex in the manga lol.<br />
<br />
7 of you said to start another project. Does this mean you don't like the ones I'm doing now?!! ;u; Or do you see something you like more on my upcoming projects...?<br />
<br />
<br />
The new poll is up! Speculate away about who died~ ;) Don't vote if you've read the raws! I want to see what people think, heh heh~<br />
<br />
<br />
I started cleaning the last chapter of Rec (slowly). The raws are terrible omg... I'm never picking up a project with LQ/MQ raws again! It takes almost as long as Lamento, and the results are not as pretty. =(<br />
<br />
Either way, that next chapter will come in a week or two. I'm only cleaning ~3 pages a day since it's midterm season. /whimpers<br />

<br />
The password this time is "rec", and remember~ don't upload to online readers (especially MF) until 7 days have passed. Mangafox is really starting to piss me off with their bot.<br />
<br />
Taking a break from scanlating for the next week or two; school is starting to get busy, and I have a bunch of paperwork to take care of, so time will be taken up by busy work, blehh. The blog will still be monitored, just no progress will be made on releases.<br />
<br />
The last chapter of Rec should be out before March. After I finish off Rec, I have a joint project lined up for <a href="http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=15749" target="_blank">Eleven Soul</a>. ^^<br />

<br />
This chapter was even worse than the first in terms of redraws... On the other hand, the plot is starting to pick up! It shed light on a lot of that "wtf" from the first chapter, and gave more background on Konoe's past. I want to see more of the devils though, damn it! Kaltz~~<br />
<br />
After the next chapter (3), it will take a while to release the next chapter of Lamento. I have to order and scan Volume 2, since there are no raws online. I was planning to buy it anyways, but cracking the book spine! Ack, pain. </3<br />
<br />
Look at the shiny cover of volume 2, and here's the new chapter!<br />

<br />
This time, the archive itself is not password protected, so it's less of a hassle to load on an image reader.<br />
<br />
<br />
Still no uploading to Mangafox or other online readers until the 7 day wait period is up, though! Instead, convert to Batoto (the exception), because they respect scanlators and don't resize images. =D<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm switching all my files over to mediafire, since they have a password protect system and no 20 second wait time. I will update all the links today for consistency~~<br />
<br />
Lastly, a change in policy. No longer is there a delay for uploading to Batoto, and it will be done the same time I release a chapter. All other online readers are still subject to the 7 day delay.<br />
<br />
I'm still pretty new to the whole running a site and having policies thing, so please bear with me as I find a good balance for everything. >_<Kakerahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11343164536225711747noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6880434716864873192.post-60056546718470681432012-01-27T15:10:00.002-05:002012-01-28T14:29:10.820-05:00Sekai no Hate chapter 1New project~!!! \(*o*)/<br />
<br />
This manga is a gem I came across after reading Rec; it's psychological/shoujo genre! Meaning lots of dark undertones, fluffy art, and a crazy twisting plot (as you'll see by the end of the chapter). I hope you enjoy it!<br />
<br />
This chapter is quite nice quality (unlike Rec, lol) since I got my hands on some good raws. It's about the same quality as my lamento release. I'll also be working on this with Haruhime scans starting next chapter. ^^<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The response:</span><br />
<i style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: none; font-family: inherit;">[...] I'm really sorry, but I can't do anything about it nor any fellow volunteer moderator here, because MF doesn't seem to respect any scanlators any more.

There's a new rule regarding distribution. You must now <b>wait 24 hours</b> before uploading releases to online reading sites like mangafox/mangareader/mangahere. Immediate hosting is still allowed, but please do update the file a day or so after the initial release.<br />
<br />
The reason for this is simple. I pretty much suck at QCing my own releases, and I hate seeing errors I can't fix. You guys as well as myself often discover small mistakes like typos, minor grammatical errors, or -gasp- a missed bubble! This new rule will give me the chance to re-read my release/let you guys tell me what's wrong and correct any errors in case I need to release a v.2.<br />
<br />
It's very easy for me to update my 4shared link, but VERY hard for me to update a file on an online reading site (believe me, I've tried) ...I don't have accounts on most of them. D:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Tl;dr: Don't upload my releases anywhere until 24 hours have passed. I may need to update.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>[edit] It has been brought to my attention that chapter 2 was uploaded to Mangafox... It's been less than 8 hours. =_=; Come on, how obvious was my rule? It was in the file AND here. As punishment, the next release of REC will be delayed by 5 days. When I finish the chapter I'll let it sit in my hard drive.</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

Now would also be<b> a good time to make suggestions </b>about improvements to the site as well as my scanlations in general. I'm always worried about font. Ugh. Do the fonts I use look okay? Do you guys want more SFX translated? Things like that... So if you have anything, and I mean ANYTHING, please let me know. =)<br />

<br />
Now here is the second chapter of REC -the day you cried-!! (aka REC -kimi ga naita hi-) :D<br />
♥<a href="http://www.4shared.com/zip/eB6QB0N2/KakerA_Rec_-the_day_you_cried-.html?" target="_blank">Chapter 2</a><br />
<br />
p.s. I know, I know. I'm procrastinating on Lamento again. >_< I will defeat those redraws soon, I promise!<br />
<br />
p.s.s. Just putting this out there on the off chance that someone is a champ. I would like to pick up "Sekai no Hate", a manga by the same author (<a href="http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=67069" target="_blank">Info here</a>) but I have no RAWs. If anyone could find some decent quality Japanese or Chinese RAWs for me, that would be fantastic!Kakerahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11343164536225711747noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6880434716864873192.post-27787285677919200082012-01-21T20:47:00.000-05:002012-01-22T03:03:26.571-05:00Many new updates to the blog.I've just added a shoutbox, banner, changed the background, and put in pages for the projects. =D<br />
<br />
Any general comments can be posted in the shoutbox, and chapter/series specific comments SHOULD be posted in their respective entries.<br />

Site looks a lot better now, hurray! ^^ I'm still in the process of cleaning Lamento chapter 2 (which will be the next release)<br />
Here's a peek at why it's taking so long. -sigh- these redraws...<br />

Thoughts: I'm a huge sucker for well-done shoujo/tragedy, and when I read this manga, I thought it was a really well-developed and moving story for being only <b>four</b> chapters! So I got my hands on the raws, although they were MQ, and started this project. All I have to say is... it gets even better. I highly recommend this manga! But don't read it if you don't like the tragedy genre.<br />
<br />
Taking a break from Lamento because uh, those redraws and terminology. Reminds me of my Trinity Blood days. xD REC is just a much easier project.Kakerahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11343164536225711747noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6880434716864873192.post-35850447157681130192012-01-15T14:57:00.000-05:002012-01-15T15:11:44.599-05:00Lamento~Beyond the Void~ Chapter 1It's done! I'm actually pretty excited about this project~<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>So story goes that my friend gives me the game and tells me to play it. I don't read yaoi, so I was reluctant. The story sounded really interesting though, so I start playing it. 5 minutes in, I see these amazingly realistic pots in the background, and I fall in love with them. They're the most detailed things I've ever seen in a visual novel! xD<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>... then I stopped playing Lamento because school got busy, lol. I still haven't played past 5 minutes of the storyline. </div></div><div><br />
</div><div>So when I came across the Raws for the manga, I got really excited because it's pretty much a condensed version of the game without the buttsex~! So I decided to scanlate it and read it as I go along.</div><div><br />
</div><div><b>Ranting aside, here's a synopsis:</b></div><div>The Ribika are a race of cats possessing ears and tails. Their bodies are lithe and nimble, and they live in the land of Shisa. However, a curse called the "Void" is spreading through the forests...</div><div>One of the Ribika, Konoe, lives in a small village called Karou. One morning, he wakes up to find that his ears and tail have turned black. There is also a symbol on his body; the mark of the curse. Konoe embarks on a journey through the forest to find the truth.</div><div><br />

</div><div>Omg, the redraws in this chapter nearly killed me. If I didn't have a tablet, I don't think I would have finished this chapter at all... but a picture is worth a thousand words: <a href="http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q184/KakeranoTsuki/other/cleaning-1.jpg" target="_blank">so here's some proof.</a></div><div><br />
</div><div>Enjoy the chapter! =)</div><div>I need to stop myself from scanlating... I've been spending all my free time on it these past two weeks. >_< I'm going to ban myself until the end of January!</div>Kakerahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11343164536225711747noreply@blogger.com21tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6880434716864873192.post-83099691620193687162012-01-14T20:18:00.000-05:002012-01-14T20:22:03.347-05:00Bye-Bye, Little [complete]<u><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Bye-Bye Little by Sakisaka Io</span></u><br />
