Hello, everyone. It’s been a while. I’ve been a little busy moving around (a lot) and going to work.

Yes, I’m still around. Japanese Volume 9 comes out in 2 days. How exciting! I will try to obtain the scans ASAP, which also involves waiting for people to actually upload them somewhere (who knows how long that will take). Please also understand that I also now work Monday through Friday (at my actual job) during the day. However, I do still plan on translating this, and I’m very much looking forward to it.

(Of course, if anyone has access to the scans or you can find them for me, it would save me a lot of trouble, hahaha… Just kidding. I’ll probably just find them myself.)

Ok. I’ve decided to finish this series off. I hate to not finish something. Should actually be pretty easy now that I look at it. It’ll be kind of a rush-job, so I may not do as good of a job, though. Why? It’s simply not as good of a series. Or rather, I don’t like it very much. I don’t think the stories were all that funny compared to Haruhi-chan actual. So that said, I’m going to typeset all of these and release them all in one bundle. Should only take a couple hours.

Nagato is sick… Her friends come over to take care of her.

Anyway, folks, Volume 9 comes out in October, so of course, no new chapters until at least then (provided I can find scans). As always, thanks for reading and keeping your interest in the series. I may still post things, but… we’ll see. I need to prepare for the next stage of my life, though. Like I said before, I will be shipped off to training in a couple weeks, and I’ve been putting off some work I need to do.

Respectfully,

We all know Google Translate is bad at Japanese, but just how bad is it? I decided to run the previous chapter (62) through Google Translate, and this is the result. Here are the rules:

  1. Put all text (SFX too) verbatim into Google Translate. (Japanese⇒English)
  2. If a sentence is split across bubbles, do not combine them.
  3. All translations must be copied verbatim into the speech bubbles.

Hello, everyone!

After the Christmas party, it’s the start of the new year!  The gang heads out for a shrine visit (JP: hatsumoude).

New Year, new volume, new chapter! I also recruited someone to help me out:  Praetors is my new teammate. Big thank you.

Hello, everyone!

I’m back from my break, so I’m ready to start up again. So far, I’ve completed the draft text files for the translation part, but that’s about it. Thanks for your patience. Next chapter will be out hopefully before too long!
