The Future of Next Month's Scanslations!

So, as some of you may know, I will be gone for 5 weeks starting in July. So, in order not to leave you guys hanging on good story lines, I have scanslated like mad and queued several new chapters for you. Since I have actually simply scheduled them to reduce my stress, I can tell you guys which days will be release dates!


V.B. Rose
Chapter 51: July 2nd
Chapter 52: July 16th
Chapter 53: July 23rd
Chapter 54: July 30th
Chapter 55: August 6th

Paradise City
Chapter 3: July 4th
Chapter 4: July 25th

At this point, I have no idea if I will actually be able to finish The One on time. If all goes well, I will try to get it down ASAP before I leave, so you'll at least have July's issue for sure, so August's issue may be a little late. I'm mostly concerned about July's issue, but I think I will probably be able to do it depending on page count and word count. I don't have a schedule for that unfortunately because I can't pre-translate any of that!

On a side note, Grase (remember her?) may be joining me for Paradise City! I still have to talk to her again, but I got her started reading it :) That will probably make scanslation go faster!

Spring Break! Wanna know something grosssss?

I burned the roof of my mouth and then a blister formed and then it popped. Hahahaha. None of you wanted/needed to know that. Sorry. It's really painful though. Crazy stuff is going on with my mouth. Especially because I have a cut on my lip boooooo. So I just look super awkward with my lips pursed... all the time. Hahaha. Anyway, it's spring breakkkkk! Hooray! I should do homework, but I haven't done a personal post in such a long time!




How is everyone doing? Is it spring break for anyone else? Are you enjoying the warmer weather? Hopefully it's warmer... It's still cool over here! It doesn't really matter because it's sunny! It actually snowed in some places over here, which is sort of bizarre, but then again, it's due to global warming, and you really don't want to listen to me rant about global warming haha.

Nothing is really new with me. Just have a whole bunch of school work culminating at the end of the year. BOOOOOO. STUPID AP/IB TESTS. Those who live in USA (or Canada? not sure...) will know the joys of AP testing. NOT. THERE ARE NO JOYS IN STANDARDIZED TESTING. It's just super boring and time-consuming.


What about everyone else? How is spring going? Let me know in the comments below!

On a more relevant note, I'm working on chapter 76 of "The One" right now and it's cracking me up HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA. I'm dying of laughter. It's hilarious, and I feel like I'm in a fantasy world because things are HAPPENING. HOLY SMOKES NICKY LEE! THINGS ARE HAPPENING!!!! This almost makes up for the months of 13 page chapters that are all pictures of trees lol. Anyway, I'm getting through these pages pretty quickly. I should have the chapter done by tonight, and I'll upload tonight or tomorrow.

I'm still at the same place in Paradise City that I was a month or two ago. Haha. Sorry. Would you guys like a chapter NOW, and risk waiting later, or just wait for regular updates? But I am for sure going to work on that project. Hooray!

Besides those two, I will be working on VB Rose as always, and maybe Mixed Vegetables? It was suggested to me through the manhua suggestions page, and I do know that the English volumes are out because it IS licensed. However... technically VB Rose is licensed as well....... Which means I will probably bend the rules for you guys haha. I'm a terrible person.

I also would like to remind readers that I keep project statuses updated above at the projects page. It's usually pretty up to date. I do check for raws regularly, and I would like to thank numero11 for sending me recent chapters of The One, which have been unavailable on Tieba! We had a huge discussion in the Chinese forums on this, so I managed to post chp. 76 there.

Anyway, enough ramblings. See you soon, and happy reading!

Things I've Been Reading Recently

- Steel Rose: My goodness, I'm starting to dislike Leting a lot more. She's really a bitch, and pretty stuck up and rude as well. I used to think she was a cool strong female protagonist, but she's just annoying now.

- Silver: I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. I like the beginning particularly because of the premise. The recent chapters seem to have declined in quality a little; they're mostly just sex scenes o__o". It seems a little overboard/unnecessary. I think I may start reading more Josei because of their more developed plots.

- Paradise City: So random haha. I haven't gotten very far, but I'm liking it so far. All the characters are so colorful!

- Faster Than a Kiss: I came back to this series after not reading it for a while, and while it is cliche, and not the best story ever, I like reading it. It's fun and cute, not really serious reading.

What have YOU been reading? What have you liked so far?

Paradise City and Steel Rose

I just started reading Paradise City!

Either my Chinese is getting better, or this manhua has many easy words. It does require certain heavy translation areas where I bust out my dictionary, but it's been mostly okay.

But I have no way to measure this because this is a new manhua haha. Those of you who learn a second or even third language, how long does/did it take? Are you not fluent?

Anyway, I started compiling a short introduction to this series (instead of doing my homework hahahhahaha. All my IB papers are due.. Oh well. If I don't think about them, I can convince myself they don't exist. Boooooo). I'll have a brief character list and summary soon!

Anyway, there's that series. If you have any questions, let me know!

About Steel Rose, because people have asked, I will be working with Lila Wolves to get chapters out. I'm supposed to be sent Chapter 15 soon.

I have another chapter of VB Rose ready, and will probably upload it in the next few days.

No news on The One.

Paradise City Information and Introduction

Here's just an introduction for those of you looking forward to Paradise City. I haven't read that far in, so that's what I have so far. Hope you enjoy it!

Summary: Carl is preparing to carry out a conspiracy that will destroy JB's position in the music world. Meanwhile, Renee must subtly express her own feelings. The sadness and happiness of fate will cause more twists and turns in Ike's life path. The 2 years separated Ike finally returns to Renee's side, with new songs and wishes. This time, he will bravely confront his own feelings and life.

(Translated from here).

Here's what I've noticed just from reading the first chapter.

With silver hair and sunglasses, Ike becomes JB, a famous rock and roll star whose true identity is unknown (JB IS NOT JUSTIN BIEBER!!!!). When he one day discovers he is being followed, he must move out of his house and find a new place. How will his paths cross with Renee White, the daughter of a fashion designer and younger sister of a beautiful model, especially when she is suddenly thrust into their world?

Characters:
JB aka Ike: A rock and roll star with a secret identity. He has to move out of his house due to a stalker.
Johnny: JB's manager.
Renee White: A high school girl who has heavy domestic responsibilities cooking for her sister, a model, and her mother, a fashion designer, who don't know how to cook at all, and are seemingly more interested in boys and the fashion world than her.
Chi White: Renee's sister, a very beautiful model. Her name literally means "White Gem/rock."

What's Next? New projects and such

Hello all, as you may know, Ingenuo has been finished, and The One seems to have rolled to a standstill. I am still waiting on raws, and I don't think they've actually found a new scanner.

Because people have been asking me about Steel Rose, I feel I may as well do a post here. Thank you Maliha for letting me know about Lila Wolves putting it on their future projects list. I contacted them, and figured out that they had put the project on their list because they thought I would not continue SR. However, the project had remained on my future project list. Because they have started working, we have decided to work together, though I am not exactly sure what we have worked out for the long term. In a couple days, I will be receiving cleaned pages and translations to typeset.

So that is that. Next, I WILL be starting with Paradise City, but bear with me because I don't want to start quite yet because it is a new commitment. So that all of you know, it is a 4 vol series by Nicky Lee about a superstar I think. Not sure. I'll figure it out when I look more carefully at the raws.

I was thinking of finishing my pages of VB Rose. It won't take me long, but I just need the motivation to sit down to do it. It's tiresome scanning so much. But I think I might just do it now because my brain is too fried to finish my homework.

Because Full House is being scanslated, I am removing it from my list.

Anyways, hope to see you guys soon :)

Poll results are IN! And other news and announcements!

Ingenuo: 36
Full House: 6
Paradise City: 7
Youth Gone Wild: 2

Haha, it looks like Ingenuo wins :D. I will definitely keep working on it. After Ingenuo, I will be working on Paradise City! I have nice raws for that, so it should go rather smoothly. Also, if anyone has good quality raws for Ingenuo, I would be ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED to have them. The little words are really hard to read, especially if I don't recognize the characters. It would help to have larger, better files.

Someone PMed me on Mangafox, asking me to help her translate Perfect Girl Evolution (Wallflower), and at this point I don't have much time to do so, but I think that if she doesn't do it on her own (I'm assuming she... didn't bother checking. Most people who read shoujo are shes, right?), I might pick up the project at a later date, because I did at one point translate a chapter of it (though admittedly, it was badly done... Cireus later replaced my chp haha :D). I won't ask for your opinions on this at this point, because everything is still rather uncertain.

Moving on, I have updated the "About" page, in case you want to read it. Also, I will be updating the project page rather frequently, so check back in case you want to check out what page I'm on, and what I'm working on.

And uh, that's all I have to say! Also, please suscribe for notifications and news on my projects. Once I get this blog more settled down, I will be writing about other manga series that I like :) And please vote on the poll to the right. I just want to get a headcount of my readers :) Thanks! Have a great day, guys, and happy reading!
