RECRUITMENT
We currently need a Chinese to English translator for the manhua called "Collapse of the World as We Know It". We promise much horror and gore. Please apply -- without you, this project will die.  Translator found! But now we need more editors who can keep up with the translator! Please help out, even with a single chapter!

Collapse of the World As We Know It Chapters 94-100

And we're back! There was some flurry of activity at year's end, so you get another fix of Chinese guro.

Get the chapters:

Yuru Yuru Chapter 46 (END)

This time comes to all manga eventually -- the time to say good-bye. I have grown attached to this one, so it makes me a little sad. But the sense of satisfaction at having completed yet another project far outweighs the sadness.

I would usually say that if you know of any other color manga that needs to be scanlated (and has raws available), please direct me to it... but I am trying to cut down on my workload lately, so the chances of me actually picking something up are slim. You can still request though, there's always that slim chance.

I've also zipped up all three volumes together, including the first chapters that weren't ours. It's probably useful for those who are going to start reading Yuru Yuru just now.

As for the group as a whole, we'll continue plugging away at Collapse a little at a time. Let's see how long we last.

Oh yeah, since this is the last of high school girls this group's going to see for a while, I should put in yet another sailor fuku video from an 80s idol. :) It was a very strange movie as well, I couldn't figure out if it was a comedy or a tragedy.

Now that that's out of the way, here are the download links:

Collapse of the World As We Know It Chapters 89-93

Okay, it's time to spring a few more chapters of weirdness on you.

Enjoy!

Yuru Yuru Chapter 45

The story of Japanese high school girls is nearing its conclusion:

Wait, wrong era. This is back when Japan was a real country.

Here you go, the continuation of the story set in the magical country most often depicted in anime:

Yuru Yuru Chapter 44

I was going to release some Collapse, but the Yuru Yuru archive was easier to find in the mess that is my desktop. So here you go. In this installment, our favorite JK go to to a training camp. Well... we keep translating this Japanese word (gasshuku) as "training camp", but if you think about it, it only makes sense in the case of sports clubs.

Yuru Yuru Chapter 43

Japan... High school girls... Love is in the air...

Get the next chapter:

Yuru Yuru Chapter 42

Ah, what the hell, let's do two chapters this week. High school girls and puns.

Get the chapter:

Yuru Yuru Chapter 41

One of those rare instances when I get the allusion in the title. Let me tell you, translating chapter and manga titles is pretty difficult. If you think it's easy, you're doing something wrong. :)

Also, while I have your attention, does anyone have chapters 1-3 done by a different group? Can you give me dl links for them? I want to start packaging this manga into volume archives.

Meanwhile, enjoy the chapter:

Yuru Yuru Chapter 40

Yuru Yuru: Episode XL - Attack of the Clones

Now that we're back to JKs, let's close off with another sailor fuku video (Sailor Fuku and Machine Gun):

One of the classic idol movies. I think it was supposed to be a comedy, but somehow I didn't laugh. Also, I have to point out that it's not a machine gun (kikanjuu) she has in the movie, but a submachine gun (tankikanjuu).

And on the topic of "where are they now", here's the same Yakushimaru Hiroko singing in a somewhat recent NHK morning drama called "Ama-chan" (I highly recommend it, by the way).

But I guess you want Yuru Yuru:

Yuru Yuru Chapter 39

More silly JK antics.

But doesn't this seem like such a uniquely Japanese problem?

Download:

Yuru Yuru Chapter 38

Yet another touching story about a high school girl and her little pony... Well, I thought it would be about horses from the chapter title, but no. It got confusing real fast.

Just read it for yourself:

Yuru Yuru Chapter 37

Yet another chapter in the long saga of Japanese high school girl misadventures. This chapter depicts a harrowing journey of a lone girl. Will she be able to arrive at her destination, or will she fall prey to perils that await every JK in public transportation?

Without further ado, "Misaki Scenic Route":

Collapse of the World As We Know It Chapters 86-88

Alright, clearing out the rest of Collapse backlog. Hopefully, will get more chapters done in the near future.

Yuru Yuru Chapter 36

Hopefully, we'll be pushing out chapters in volume 3 much faster from now on. (Which means, please welcome our new editor wil :) )

Here's another chapter about JKs and their manipulative mothers.

Speaking of JKs, here's what I do when I have to wait for edits. Cute kittens singing the song of JKs everywhere, the first, the original idol group, Onyanko Club.

For more subbed videos of cute girls singing, visit http://ameagarisubs.tumblr.com/ If you have a video you want subbed, feel free to submit suggestions -- we're never sure about what to do next.

Also, get the chapter:

Yuru Yuru Chapter 35

Finally, we're starting on volume 3. The plan is to (hopefully) get all these chapters out in a reasonably short time. The translations are all done, just waiting for editing now. *keeping fingers crossed*

Parental warning: the following chapter contains JK nudity and the mangaka is a damn lolicon.

But get the chapter anyway:

Collapse of the World As We Know It Chapters 76-85

Yeah, it's been a while, hasn't it?

To compensate for that, here are 10 more chapters!

Yuru Yuru Chapter 34 + Volume 2 TOC

Today, we wrap up volume 2 of Yuru Yuru with the release of this very cute and sweet chapter 34. Only one more volume is left (but no ETA -- remember, if you want to get it faster, apply to edit this manga).

Also, I'm releasing v2 of chapter 16 (the first chapter of volume 2) with translated TOC page. Replace your old chapter 16 with it for a more complete experience.

Yuru Yuru Chapter 33

It's been a while, hasn't it? Here are more antics from crazy high school girls, all in color. In this chapter, you learn more about photography than you ever wanted to.

The next chapter should be coming shortly.
