Alright, so we've got a few things tonight. We've got the second to last Usagi Drop chapter, as well as the Change H WHITE raws and the raws of the OtoNyan vol. 3 extras.
Usagi Drop ch 55: http://www.mediafire.com/?62rxx688ipxwrv2
Change H WHITE: http://www.mediafire.com/?hoxz580gr6w2s
Thank you very much! *greatly enjoys the Change H chapters*
Two questions: (1) The Change H pages seem unusually uncropped. Is awareness of this held? (2) I've wondered about this for a while, but even though a certain story is spelled レディーズメイド (Lady's Maid) and is about a young lady and the boy holding the 'Lady's Maid' position who serves her (with all other maids holding normal maid positions), the folder is titled 'Ladies Maids'. Especially I do not see the source of the last S. Any explanation on this point would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much for your provisions (?) and your time!
Croppedness: By contrast, the OtoNyan 1052x1512 pages are normal; for the Change H pages however, the upper left ~1724x~2462 is a normal page, but the rest of the 2550x3300 is a curious mottled grey (of consistent mottling across different pages). Though it seems doubtful, it is also possible that something odd has happened to the files on this computer through the downloading process. Is this effect not observed?

That would be the lack of cropping. When we release things that are non-end user ready raws, such as manga raws (as opposed to the oto nyan stuff which no one is going to translate and is as ready for you as it'll ever be), I don't do a lot of the processing work that I do with other stuff.
About the Change H White Scans, there appear (on the cover at least) to be 13 different "Chapter", but the scan files only have 9. Are there any more scans coming? or is this all you found?
Ok, so since people are downloading the Change H scans that haven't before, here's the deal with them:
We share the raws of the stories *that we will not be working on.* This means that you can feel free to translate anything that's in that bundle without stepping on our toes, and that anything NOT in the bundle will be released by us in English sooner or later.
We share the raws in hopes that people will scanlate with them, not as a service to Japanese fans of the magazine who don't want to pay for it. This means that the scans are raw in terms of processing as well. They're ready for a cleaner to work with, not ready for a casual reader to look at and find them to be pretty.
NEEDLESS unfortunately took a break this month, so it'll be a while longer before the next chapter comes out. I'm not sure what js06 is planning in terms of release pacing for the gap filling chapters though, so we'll have to just wait and see on those.
Well, ask a silly question, get a silly answer. The real answer is "when it's ready," and the release pace so far doesn't make me feel bad over any impatience.
LOL Seriously guys, have some patience. This is grueling fast compared to what most scanlation groups do. If this pace is killing you, how do you survive with other manga scanlations?
Awesome job, keep it up just one more to go!

Unusually cropped? How so?
ReplyDeleteThe plural on Ladies Maids was purely a guess, I assumed it would be plural, I guess not. No bigs.

Thanks for clearing that up. Sorry if that was a stupid question, but I didn't know better.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for your releases on this.

ReplyDeleteYou guys are great btw.
NEEDLESS unfortunately took a break this month, so it'll be a while longer before the next chapter comes out. I'm not sure what js06 is planning in terms of release pacing for the gap filling chapters though, so we'll have to just wait and see on those.
ReplyDeleteI loved this series... D: I'm sad cos its almost gone.
ReplyDeleteDoes it apply to usagi drop?
ReplyDeleteNEEDLESS didn't run in it's magazine in Japan - there is no 'next chapter' right now. This won't affect Usagi Drop...

ReplyDeleteIf its 456 years, I think I can manage it. But 457?
ReplyDeleteThanks as always. You're doing an excellent job.
ReplyDeleteWhat about cover scans and intermediate pages, can you share them too, pls?
