The Vanishing of Nagato Yuki-chan: ch. 51

Yup, you guessed it. Another chapter. Kyon wants to do something with Yuki on Sunday? What could it be?

I hate cleaning  x_x  It takes so long to do, but I spend all day on it anyway. There’s a lot of non-black-on-white text in this volume… I hope I don’t burn out. (But there’s a really good part coming up in a few chapters, and I want to get to it.)

Which brings me to my next issue:  I think it’s time I looked for a teammate. Specifically for cleaning. So…

Potential cleaner job description:

• Knows his/her way around GIMP or Photoshop. (Preferably GIMP, but I can open .psd files.)
• Removing text and redrawing backgrounds will be your primary job. You do not have to be totally perfect. Remember that text with a 3-px outline will go over these parts anyway. However, I expect good quality work. If it’s too difficult, you can let me know, and we’ll figure something out.
• Works quickly. Ideally, <24 hours per assignment. I reserve the right to pre-empt you if you work too slowly. I will not wait. Work will be split as I see fit. I also reserve the right to let you go if you don’t do a good job.
• Your term will end when volume 8 is completed, as we’ll have to wait for volume 9 to be released. However, you will be considered first when that happens.
• Will not have to take care of leveling, black-on-white text removal, or error-splotches. I can do that.
• As you know, this is a non-profit free group. Obviously, you won’t be paid.
• Terms subject to change.

The Vanishing of Nagato Yuki-chan: ch. 50

Chapter 50 complete, and welcome to Volume 7. Gosh, I really don’t know what I want to do with my releases, do I? Haha, sorry. I guess all I’ll say is that I’m going to work at whatever pace I feel comfortable with. If that means I release a whole bunch of chapters in close temporal proximity, then that’s what I’ll do.

Explanation: I got carried away with this yesterday and ended up making all the translation text files for Volume 7. Redrawing looks like it’s going to be a nightmare, though. :/  It’s also my least favorite part of this job… I wish there was an easier way besides using my mouse. Well… Gotta do what you gotta do.

Thanks for reading.

Happy 7/7 from YukiBrigade!

It’s July 7th, and you know what that means! It’s Tanabata: a time to send messages into space light years away because gods are aliens that can grant wishes instantly? I’m also using it as an excuse to make a status update post.

It looks like things are going well for us. I’ve always enjoyed this manga series and Haruhi in general, and it’s a privilege to be able to work on it. In about a month and a half, though, I will disappear for 5 weeks to receive training for my occupation. After I begin work, who knows how much time I can spend with this. Just a heads up. I will try to post an update as soon as I’m done with training, though. We appreciate your understanding.

As always, thanks for reading.

Project Status

(Well, I guess I’d better say something. I am at least partially in charge of the project now.)

Dear readers,

On behalf of the manga team, I’d like to apologize for the long hiatus. Things got busy for some of us, which kind of put a bottleneck on the process. I’ve been put in charge of the project recently, so *cross fingers* we’re going to actually get things going again. (If the “CO” is Kyonko, I’m the “XO,” is how I understand it.) I’m not the fastest at this kind of thing by any means, but I hope to at pick up where we left off.

As of right now, I’m getting things organized (I recently found some decent scans from Japanese volume releases). I’m also taking a killer algorithms class with like 10+ hours of homework a week and some other senior level engineering classes, so I can’t give you any definite timetables. However, I thought I’d just reassure you that, yes, this project, the staff, and the site are indeed still alive.

In closing, thanks for all the support! I hope to see you again in the future.

Very respectfully,

Zach

P.S.  Oh, right. Me. I also go by calculuswhiz. Maybe 7.62mm NATO, but I hardly ever use that nowadays. I have experience with cleaning, translation, and typesetting, though I may or may not handle all three of those here.

We are now in a new server

If you are a regular of the site, you sure noticed how bad was the response of the site previously with constant error messages all the time. That’s cause we were hosting the site in a free server and of course, you get what you pay. I couldn’t even update wordpress or use several parts of the admin panel. Several months ago we had a donation drive to move the page to a paid hosting, but unfortunately I had to suspend everything due to personal depressing issues. I wasn’t in the mood for hobbies for a long time, but the bad state of this site was always bugging me. Last week I finally hired a host and moved the site. I tested everything and it seems most of the site is okay now, there are just some old wallpaper downloads pointing to megaupload links that I need to replace. Regarding to the real reason you are visiting this site, expect more Yuki-chan in the next days. The other series, Haruchi-chan nano branch, is completely translated, so more chapters are coming too. Thanks for your visit!
