Vol03 omake + extras

Its been a long while, but here it finally is! The omake from volume three of Samurai Usagi, along with several fun extras!

Now about why this took so long- I can explain! Firstly, almost all of my team members have gone MIA! I can only imagine how terribly busy they must be D=

After much internal debate I decided to carry on by myself, if only for the time being. Now comes the second portion of my explanation! Name translations!!

You see, the majority of this manga has furigana included for those who can't really read kanji yet (that's me). However, there are a few things they don't have furigana for- the first are commonplace things such as the months of the year and the time of day, which are easy enough to figure out, but the other thing they don't give furigana for...! The other thing, oh gawd!! It's the names of the fans who send in letters and art! I had to translate them all by my kanji-illierate self! By the end of my trials I managed to find some good sources for this so now I'm not as intimidated by the extras that await me in upcoming volumes, but it was hell getting here.

But thank goodness that's out of the way! It's too bad my team members haven't gotten back to me lately, but I hope to hear from them eventually. Until then I'll be churning out chapters whenever I can (I got a job last month by the way! Hurray!) so you can look forward to seeing a new chapter very soon! Like, in the next few days kind of soon!

Anyways, here's the download link

Enjoy theses cute extras and hold onto your hats for chapter 26, coming soon to an internet near you!!

Updates!

And then it was decided that I would update this blog every Sunday, whether there was a new chapter to be posted or not! I will be giving updates on the status of upcoming releases and the staff members to let everyone know how things are going and may be in the future.

So its been a week since our latest release, give or take a few hours! Since then I've heard back from my two cleaners, who are just about finished their final exams and have/will be starting the cleaning of chapters 26/27. The pages for chapter 25 were already cleaned some time ago, but I have yet to hear back from Rilen who was assigned to translating it. Rilen is the only one on our five-person team who has a full-time job and also happens to live in Malaysia, so a busy schedule combined with the time difference between us sometimes gets in the way of speedy communication. Our typesetter Sayo recently had to get her computer repaired, which is why I was responsible for the typesetting of chapter 24! Its working A-OK now from what I hear, so once she has the translation for chapter 25 she should have no problems putting that together with the clean pages. Like me, Sayo has just completed an internship and will be graduating from the same animation course as myself! That means she`ll also be busy with trying to find a job, but I`m sure she`ll have time to spare for a little Samurai Usagi!

As for me, I've finished the first stage of translating chapter 26 (the first chapter in vol 4!!), which means I have about 2/3 to go! Once I hear back from Rilen we'll decide on who's doing 27 and onwards, but it usually goes him-me-him-me until one of us is has to take over for longer because the other is busy. We'll just have to see, anyways! Until then I'll keep up with translating chapter 26. I'm going to be a bit busy this week though- gotta write my internship report, update my demo reel and resume, start applying to places for work and finish making my Shino cosplay outfit on top of that! But we have to get chapter 25 done first, so I don't think my personal matters will be a problem just yet.

And that's the first of what I assume to be many weekly SU scanlation updates to come! Please look forward to our upcoming releases and thanks for stopping by!
