So hum. Hi there. 


READ ALL THIS (please :3):
Here's the thing. Do you remember me saying about doing the Orange scanlation (like... from the begining of the series), well, after like 100 years, the 6 chapters are FINALLY done. You don't know how many headaches I suffered doing this. Basically: I had to do the typesetting (partially and complete) & cleaning (partially but from every chapter, I'm not really skilled in PS either, but sigh, I did my best) & *atryof* QC-ing & the proofreading of some chapters. So pretty much YES, I've spent my weekend trying to finish them and I can finally say: I'M DONE with this after many hours stiff in front the computer. Thank you to all the staff who was involved in this release (is a quite large list, but you can check them in the credits page here). 

So now I'm not really planning to continue with the scanlation, despite the fact that many people helped (and thank you very much!) I sort always ended up checking and editing the things of every chapter because to ask someone else meant it would take decades more and I don't have more time for that. Also, Simple Scans releases a regular and AWESOME *drolls* scanlation and I don't think you'll feel the fact that we're not continuing with this (such a fast start and ending xD).

Then, the deal is: to post the translation + raws from chapter 7 onwards. I got the translation relatively sooner than the eng scans so you can take a sneak peak before the scanlation is done. Something like with AHR C:, happy with that? Good. I'm cool with that too.

Now, I'm not interested in doing the scanlation, but if someone is willing (REALLY WILLING) to do it (which means a GOOD cleaning and typesetting, and it doesn't have to be just 1 person), contact us and let's see how we could deal with this. I'm fine with that as long as I don't have to work or fixing anything of it xD.

Summary from SS:

In the Spring she was 16, Takamiya Naho receives a strange, but detailed letter from herself, ten years in the future. At first she thinks the letter is a prank, but then the things written in the letter actually happen, including the new transfer student that sits next to her in class, Naruse Kakeru. 
The letter reads just like her diary entries, down to the same characters. It is not till two weeks later, when Kakeru shows back up at school, that Naho finishes the letter. 

In the letter, her 27-year-old self tells her 16-year-old self that her biggest regret is that Kakeru is no longer with them in the future, and asks her to watch him closely. 

Another new project: Kujaku no kyoshitsu (summaries). This is a suggestion from our lovely translator Sara (TnA, which reminds me, you'll be able to read the special chapters soon, sorry for they wait, Orange has been killing my time late). We got chapter 3 summary just one day before the scans were released D:, so Sara was frustrated and worked really hard (and quick) with chapter 4 (scans are in LQ though, we'll try to update a higher ones if we can!) EDIT: Scans in GOOOD QUALITY NOW!! So many thanks to her, who also scanned the raws for this lastes chapter :*, and Shmook who scanned chapter 3 and will be proving us with next chapters too. Hope we can have done more chapter soon!

Summary from SS:

They're a group of peacocks who dance gracefully with their beautiful plumage that mesmerizes all eyes. Will Mariho's destiny be changed after meeting them...?!  

English Scans (ch 1-3): [HERE]

I really hope you enjoy this releases! We pretty much spend of our (little) free time into this, if that's appreciated, guess we are happy enough with that.

Thank you very much to Jessica and Michelle who made a donation for our site. We really appreciate that! 

Sigh. Need to finish a lot of things for tomorrow and still need to reply a ton of emails (sorry people, Orange kinda sucked my life the past few days!), so I guess this will do for now. When I said the thing about needing a secretary, I meant it. The only problem is how to teach all the stuff without making that training another extra-spent-time. But anyway, hope to come back sooooon with more updates!

Take care :*

Hello guys, how's life treating you?
Me? Ohoho, she's being an as**** (oops, my manners) here and I'm a zombie, I must say, I have zero resistance to wake up every day at 6am and go to bed at 2 am. No, nop, that's not for me. Sorry. SIGH.
But the bright is that... nothing? oh well, I could make a little of time to bring ya updates and email all the staff (you have no idea how many emails you can accumulate when you ignore you email because of studies, is a bad, really BAD idea) today C:

Anyway, a couple of things:

Ad.fly's ads: As you noticed I enabled the ads when you visit the site. I know it's annoying, but since we haven't got any donation via paypal, I have to supply it as much as I can with the ads so I don't end in bankrupt (completely) at the end of the month. It help us to cost the Margaret magazine and sometimes Cookie's and some manga volumes when it's needed (SINY for example, which I'll order vol 9 soon). I programmed it to work just 2 times per day, which means after you enter 2 times to bxsmanga home and skip the ad, it should dissapear for the rest of the day. Sorry for the inconvenience, I'll disable it as soon as I make sure a couple of month subscriptions  ;).
Or you can donate if you want to make the process faster. Whatever you want.

Which reminds me:

Magazine subscriptions: With the help of Yuuzukuri (who shares the costs with us and buy and scans the mag for us, thank you!) we've been able to make a sort of regular subscription with Margaret (that's why you can see BwI raws now). I need a really, REALLY responsanble and motivaded Japanes-English translators* to pick some projects of the magazine if it's possible.

And regarding Cookie, it has become a bi-monthly magazine from the lastest issue, which means: you have to wait two months until a new chapter comes out (well not with every series, since we're quite...late with them), for example if we start summarizing Forget-me-not from Yuuki Obata (Bokura ga ita), it will be a looong wait, I guess. Just to let you know. So yes, in any case, need, desperately, more JAPANESE-ENGLISH translators!*

*Please, remember this is not a remunerated work. 

New projects: Well, it all depends of how many people we can count. As you know, we've got plently material to work with, we just need motivated people! If everything goes as planned, maybe some projects will see the light in a couple of weeks. *fingers crossed*

And! Updates! Here we go:

To finish, there will be a little delay with Six Half summaries. Probably until mid September. So please be patitent!
And we have the most awesome staff of the whole world. That's my unbiased opnion C:

Have a good week :)

So here goes a worth-read-thing-with-the-Bikkurithings! + Jap Raws
Thank you, Bikkuri-chan! /pat pat

As for more updates soon... I was really, REALLY planing to post and work in more bxsmanga stuff  but my first day of class (today) was horrible. I'm like dead or something. And scared as hell. Need to study as mad so consider me dead for the rest of the week :(. Need to get used to this first so hope I can come with more new things/news next weekend.

Minchi

We almost don't get the translation since chinese scans were late this month. But they were so... late that Estella could come back home and work on it. A lot of thanks for her.

Also! Bikkuri's comments/rambling about AHR are probably to come back this month (and I hope for next too :') ), so hope we can enjoy both big contributions. Thank you, awesome people /TEARS.

Wait for moar updates this next week :)

Chau!
