#32: Luck Stealer Volume 7 Chapter 31

Hello! This is the final chapter of volume 7! 3 more volumes to go after this! Yipppe! p.s. Extra will be released later this week. Read on Batoto *EDIT* As it turns out, there's no EXTRA for volume 7, my apologies. We will be taking a two week break and we will resume with volume 8....

#31: Luck Stealer Volume 7 Chapter 30

Hello! New chapter of Luck Stealer! Sorry about the 1 week delay, Blinding Awesomeness finished cleaning about a week ago, but I have been a bit slack... Enjoy! Read on Bato...

#30: Luck Stealer Volume 7 Chapter 29

New chapter is up! Also, we would like to say a big THANK YOU to TV, Christian and Oliver for helping out on the cost for the raws. We have finally reached our $50.00 target! Feedback always welcome. :) Read on Bat...

#29: Ousama Game Volume 3 Chapter 12

New chapter for Ousama Game. What can I say, things are getting serious. I got a few enquiries regarding if I'll be working on the sequel. Well, at this stage, it's still too early to say. I will focus on getting this finished or close to finishing before even thinking about the sequel. But I will keep you posted. Read on Bat...

#28: Luck Stealer Volume 7 Chapter 28

Here's Chapter 28 of Luck Stealer. Enjoy. :) Special mention to Christian and TV for your kind donations. And of course to Blinding Awesomeness for the pretty scans. And last but not least, your support for the manga. You can grab the download link from the Download page. Read on Batoto p.s. Totally unrelated, but I finally beat Catherine: Babel Obelisk stage after 1 year. YAY...

#27: Ousama Game Volume 3 Chapter 11

Don't you hate it when mangas are dropped halfway through scanlation, especially with mystery manga? We need closure! And we need to know who the ultimate villain is! Anonymous suggested this manga to be looked at; coincidentally, it was one of the stories I was reading a while ago. So I thought, why not, since there are only 3 volumes left to be translated... Read On Batoto...

#26: Luck Stealer Volume 7 Chapter 27

Hi everyone, sorry about the slight delay. But today, we are very proud to present to you the first HQ scans for Luck Stealer! I don't know about you but I'm pretty stoked! Anyway, if you're not quite up to speed, here's what happened. In my last release note, I mentioned that the existing raws we had weren't that great in quality. So, Blinding Awesomeness and I decided to buy some new raws so that the quality of our releases won't suffer....

#25: Aries Volume 3 Chapter 17

Hello my dear Aries fans, here's another release for you. A whopping 93 pages of goodness in this chapter! Hehe. After this, we'll have two more short chapters to go before volume 3 is concluded. Read on Bat...

#24: Raven;od Volume 1 Chapter 6

Don't get too excited just yet, I just want to STRESS that this is a standalone release. From my understanding, 8 chapters have been released in Japan. Manga Updates states that this is still an ongoing manga but I'm sceptical about that. Anyway, one of our cleaners, Milla, approached me some time ago to help work on this project. Unfortunately, the translation is kinda out of my league (I had a lot of difficulties), hence the standalone...

#23: Aries Volume 3 Chapter 16

Okay, so sorry about the massive delay in the release for Aries. As I have explained in one of my previous updates, our cleaner/typesetter Nicia is currently unavailable. I decided to edit Chapter 16 myself because I'm not sure when she'll be back and I really don't want to delay the release any longer. Chapter 17 has already been translated. I will clean and typeset the chapter soon. :) Once again, sorry about the delay. It's really unintended....

#22: Luck Stealer Volume 7 Chapter 26

Woohoo, new chapter from a new volume! I can say for sure now that we're no longer in a flashback. It's a bloody amazing chapter, I totally love it! Okay, you might have noticed that I've shamelessly put up a DONATE button on the sidebar. Please hear me out. The raws for the remaining volumes are in pretty bad shape, so we decided to get better raws from YesAsia. And by doing so, that set us back by about $50. Now let's do the maths....

#21: Yakushiji Ryouko no Kaiki Jikenbo Volume 1 Chapter 4

Here's the long overdue chapter of Yakushiji. So sorry about the delay, it really should have been released about a week ago, but I wasn't feeling very well. Round of applause to SnarlySnarky who has taken up the typesetting for the chapter. It's a very text heavy chapter - lotsa explanation going on. I put in a lot of effort to get the translation right, I'm sure kayess it was the same for kayess and Snarky.  QUICK UPDATE for Aries,...

#19/20: Luck Stealer Volume 6 Chapter 25 and Volume 6 Extra

As promised, here's the final chapter of Volume 6 and also Volume 6 Extra. There has been confusion whether the current story arc is still in flashback or back in current time. Personally, I don't think we're in flashback any more. The flashback ended after Kurusu reiterated his promise to Rika - "To live on with positivity", in page 25 of Chapter 23. I could be wrong but as Blinding Awesomeness has also stated on Batoto, we did see an image...

#18: Luck Stealer Volume 6 Chapter 24

Hi all! Here's a brand new chapter of Luck Stealer! This is the second last chapter of volume 6. Get excited! The next release will be the finale for volume 6 and volume 6 extra. Onwards we march! Just want to thank Blinding Awesomeness again, he(she) has been great help. Also, sorry about the delayed release for Yakushiji Ryouko. I promise it's coming! Read On Bato...

#17: Luck Stealer Volume 6 Chapter 23

Yay! Another new chapter!! 3 chapters in a week, pretty good ay? Maybe I should slow down a tad. Anyway, it's a fairly short chapter - 30 pages.  And please welcome <Blinding Awesomeness> who has taken the role of cleaning/redrawing future chapters! A little bit about <Blinding Awesomeness>, he(she) has been working for FTH-scans for about a year. His work includes Adam in Puberty, Demon Lord at Work, Freezing, REC,...

#16: Luck Stealer Volume 6 Chapter 22

Hey all, here's a new chapter of Luck Stealer. I have to get this out quickly after how the last chapter ended on a cliffhanger. Remember how I said the previous chapter was f%#*ing epic? Wait 'til you read this. Personally, this is my favourite chapter out of all volumes. I kinda had a rough idea of how Chapter 22 would pan out, but still... Sigh. Alright, I won't spoil you any more than I already have, please enjoy reading. Please share your...

#15: Aries Volume 3 Chapter 15

We're back to a 40-page-chapter. Geez, I miss short chapters. One thing though, Persephone is really starting to annoy me. #%#*%# Honestly, I don't know how this is going to drag on for another 7 volumes. -_-"""" Let me know if she's annoying you too... I'm pretty sure we all think the same. =.=" Download or Read on Batoto...

#13/14: Luck Stealer Volume 5 Extra and Volume 6 Chapter 21

Hello everyone, thank you for your love and support for "Luck Stealer". As requested, here's the Volume 5 Extra! It's only a short one - 4 pages. I figured I should translate it because it's a small side story for Manaka. Also, I have a brand new chapter from Volume 6 ready! What can I say, it's a f**king epic chapter!! I love it, love it, love it! By the way, I don't know if you guys have noticed but I'm actually using Chinese raws for editing...

#12: Luck Stealer Volume 5 Chapter 20

Hey guys, as promised... A Luck Stealer release. This is actually the last chapter for volume 5. I know right! Who would have thought?! Just 2 weeks ago, this project looked abandoned and forgotten. :( Just a quick question, will you guys be interested in reading the Extra Chapter for Volume 5? Because if you're not, I'm just going to move on to the next volume. Let me know either way. Hope you guys love this chapter! A lot of background story!...

#10: Aries Volume 3 Chapter 14

Hey guys, sorry because I haven't updated Aries for a while, but I promise that you're in for a feast!  Besides the fact that this is a 94-page chapter *face palm*, our editor, Nicia-san hasn't been feeling very well the past week. Damn the season changes! Let's hope that she can make a speedy recovery. :) Oh by the way, we're starting on a new volume! Yippie! New volume, new character, whole new plot line. Remember that little boy...

#9: Luck Stealer Volume 5 Chapter 19

The 9th release! And I'm proud to present to you the forgotten project: Luck Stealer!  Yeah, I think I'm crazy to pick up yet another project, but it needs to be done! From Shoujo (Aries) to Seinen (Yakushiji Ryouko) to Shounen (Luck Stealer), that's a pretty diverse collection there. The last thing I want to do is limiting myself to working on only one specific genre. God, that'd be boring. (But Hentai and Ecchi is something I won't...

#8: Yakushiji Ryouko no Kaiki Jikenbo Volume 1 Chapter 2

Hey guys, sorry it's been a while since the last release cause I've been pretty caught up lately.  Today, we have the 2nd chapter of Yakushiji Ryouko. This manga is seriously text heavy, I haven't done anything remotely close to this I don't think. But I guess it's worth it. The conversation between Ryouko and Yukiko is hilarious as. You will see what I mean in this chapter. It's a great chapter so I hope you will enjoy it! *EDIT* Sorry,...

#7: Yakushiji Ryouko no Kaiki Jikenbo Volume 1 Chapter 1

Finally, Chapter 1 is ready for release after what seems like an eternity. But in my defence, this manga is really text heavy. Translation and typesetting took up most of the time, but I have to say I'm very happy at the end result. The time spent is definitely worth it. Anyway, it's a relatively short chapter (26 pages). I love the author's humour and I really hope that the humour hasn't been lost in translation. The chapter comes across as...

#6: Aries Volume 2 Chapter 13

Hooray! The final chapter of Volume 2 is finally here! Get excited. It took a while because this is a massive chapter, and I mean MASSIVE. 82 pages long - I think you guys will really enjoy it though. Let's see, the finale is another great chapter... And... And... God, sometimes I just wish I could say more and tell you more about the release right here in this release note without spoiling anything. >.< Let me know what you think though...

#5: Aries Volume 2 Chapter 12

First of all, a very warm welcome to Milla for joining the team to work on Aries! And she's got right into action by cleaning Chapter 12. So thank you very much for your effort, Milla. This is the second to last chapter in Volume 2. I don't mean to spoil you but the majority of this chapter are flashbacks. You'll get to learn a new truth about a certain someone. *winks* Enjoy. Aries Volume 2 Chapter 1...

#4: Yakushiji Ryouko no Kaiki Jikenbo Volume 1 Chapter 0

Hello again, everyone! I'm very pleased to announce that I've decided to pick up Yakushiji Ryouko no Kaiki Jikenbo! I was actually quite surprised when I realised that no group has started scanlation on this project. I don't know if any of you have seen the anime but Yakushiji Ryouko kinda reminds me of "Catherine" (a game by Atlus) and the story line itself resembles that of Fringe (a Sci-Fi show produced by JJ Abrahms). That's a pretty wicked...

#3: Aries Volume 2 Chapter 11

We have had a healthy dose of Poseidon in the last few chapters. In this all new chapter, we are introduced to a new character. *winks* I had a little trouble translating this chapter at the beginning because I couldn't figure out who she actually was in Greek Mythology. After much research, I finally discovered that this said character didn't actually exist! (Well she did, but was an entirely different Goddess.)  This chapter...

#2: Aries Volume 2 Chapter 10

First of all, I want to thank you all for your support! It is very heart-warming to know that someone out there is still reading this manga and I am not doing this for nothing. Your comments are very motivating indeed and they spurred me on to have this next chapter released so quickly (considering I'm working this on my own). Anyway, I'll keep this short since I really don't have anything else to add. Keep your love, support and warm fluffies...

6 May 2013

First Release!

So here we are. I decided to pick up Aries again because I really love the manga and it's a shame it is no where near finished. I used to be part of Kaizoku Scanz (who first started on this project) but I went MIA later due to some real life commitments. Kaizoku, if you're reading this, please drop me a comment. This whole one-man-team idea came about because I figured I can work at my own pace without succumbing to the stress of meeting...
