Well, anyone who still bothers to check my blog for updates probably saw this coming, but yes, I'm quitting the blog - or at least going on an extensive hiatus. I'm extremely busy with studies and applying for medical school. I might translate on the side for friends or maybe at other groups occasionally, but I'm done scanlating for now.
This means all my projects are up for grabs (Aphorism, Water Cube, 3 Level Combination, Aku...

"Three People"
Interesting segue chapter.
In other news, I am joining up with my good friend Youni, who runs MangaPirate, to make my life easier, because I am back in college and busier than ever. He does stuff for me and in return, tentatively, I will no longer provide download links, but redirect...

"Her Fragrance"
Long time no release. The raws for Water Cube are closer to "bad" than to "good" so, sorry about the quality. Aphorism ch 35 and 3LC ch 17 coming up next.
Also, I have classes starting soon so expect releases to dramatically die down. Even more than it already has I mean.

"The Memories of a Robot"
Here is a new 3LC chapter, brought a little faster because some people seemed enthusiastic about chapter 15. Plus a snazzy new Noctis Op.92 page at the end (heh).

Good morning. Here's an Aphorism release, brought to you with Vendetta Scans.
Finally, Aphorism...! To everyone who's been getting bored, I think I can say the action is finally starting to pick up. Also we're starting to catch up to the raw (which is at ch 42 at the moment).

Final chapter in volume 1, and volume 2 is (unfortunately) not out in Japan. If you find news of when (or if) volume 2 is released, inform me thanks.
Redraws and the denoising are kind of bad because I did some of them, but oh well.
Enjoy the read.

Hiatus for 2 weeks
I'm going to Ghana / Togo, working as a translator at a medical camp, for around two weeks...meaning no Aku no Meshitsukai, Water Cube, 3 Level Combination, or Aphorism releases.
Well, unless Aziz can find another translator for Aphorism while I'm gone. Then there might be some releases of Aphorism at Vendetta.
Anyways, pea...

"No Longer Flowing"
I'm being strangely prolific today.
Water Cube, for those of you who don't know, is the Japanese reboot of the popular Korean webtoon "My Heart is Beating." It's exactly the same story, just different names, and in manga format instead of webtoon format. I enjoy this version, so I hope you...

It's been a while since the last AnM release, so now you get two chapters!
Huge kudos go to the cleaners Zilver, Zilvere, and Oana Popescu - this manga is really annoying to clean, with all the transparent bubbles.
There's only one more chapter and then we're done with volume...

So I said I was gonna pass this on to VendettaScans, but they refuse to actually work on it, so I just did the next chapter on my own, with these great cleans from Chys (thanks Chys!). I might just continue to do the rest of the series on my own as well ... if I can stop being lazy.

Aku no Meshitsukai ch 01 has already been released, but I didn't like some of the inaccuracies so I figured we might as well do this as well.
Speaking of which, Neive Scans (the group I did this with) disappeared after chapter 01, so I'm looking for another group to do the rest of volume 1 with. I already...

Here's a profoundly irrelevant image and a random update post.

"Cascading Flowers"
I had some trouble translating the chapter name. Originally it says "꽃가루 눈" which literally means "flower pollen snow." Yeah it sounds better in Korean. It means falling (like snow) flowers. I was considering "Flower Rain" but that sounded too fruity.
SO this is the final chapter for...

Colloquial Korean
Kim Tae-hee, my first wife.
Hey all.
No MHIB release today unfortunately, but you get a short thing I'm writing up on interesting Korean words you may not have known (and a picture of the best Korean actress ever).
While I translate Korean manhwa, I've encountered some interesting phrases or words that don't tend to show up in dictionaries....
