Finally, some new releases.
I have a lot to say this time. (after so much time, I could at least tell you what's going on at Ossu!)
I thought we were finally going to catch up at the christmas break 3 months ago with max7 cleaners help and all, in the end we couldn't. Actually not much got done, this may have made us even more late than we already were. (eats, our cleaner, being gone all january)
eats is now back but really busy with work, and I can't do all the work myself because cleaning properly a chapter from jump takes a huge amount of time, and it has to be done weekly. Moreover I have to translate it and manage the whole process too. So in the end as it was going, we were going to keep on getting even more late with the passing weeks, to the point tankoubon scans would be ready before we release the chapter from mag scans.
So we took the decision to release LQ chapters from now on (we may release chapters as we were doing before if someone feel like to clean it in time though) because in my opinion, it's better to have a chapter not cleaned than badly cleaned (like overly blurry or over leveled like you can see on frank... *cough* *cough*)
But we're not forgeting people who like to read manga with l33t quality, we'll release again the chapters with a decent editing this time once the tankoubon scans will get available. (eats is already working again on the past chapters)
It could be possible to get back the quality as it was before from mags scans if enough motivated people with decent skills and lot of time (and ready to be coatched by me) were joining us. I think the only way to make this work would be to split the chapters between many cleaners like a lot of team are doing.
Right now, the active team is me managing everything, kuroneko helping me on translation, mew as always as translation and quality check, and loserbait on final QC. Asakura is still scanning for us from time to time (when he manage to get the issues of jump) and eats is now working on tank scans to bring you HQ chapters.
We still accept people for every work as long as they are skilled enough.
Note that I think a new QC to help loserbait would be a great help, but quality checking doesn't stop at grammar or spelling, a good quality checker has to make sure lines doesn't sounds strange and stuff like that.
And now details about the released chapters:
as you can see from the quality 75, 76, 77 and the omake are cleaned from tankoubon scans, you can expect more chapters with that quality coming soon (when eats will have progressed a bit on it).
There was a part on shougi, I didn't explain everything with notes because I would have to explain all the rules and it wasn't the place to do it so if you want to know more about shougi and understand betterwhat the characters are doing, google is your friend
Also note that 79 is the first lq chapter released, so that's the quality you can explect from now on. (again, we can do it as we used to if enough people come to help)
Kuzumi and the executive committee are still searching the blast balls, and after many events, the case is finally coming to an end!
