Samurai Usagi chapter 27

URYAAAAA!!! That's the scream I do in my head when I'm working on chapters really fast, haha. So wow, here's chapter twenty-seven of Samurai Usagi after only one week!! My production manager is having difficulties with our client, so I haven't gotten any work to do yet and have too much free time on my hands!!

I had a lot of fun translating this chapter, so I hope everyone enjoys~

Samurai Usagi chapter 26

Hurray! It's chapter twenty-six of Samurai Usagi everybody! See, didn't I tell you it'd be up with week XP

My other translator Rilen also got back to me recently, thank goodness! Because their still pretty busy and would be slow with translating for the time being I've assigned him to work on vol 5 as I do vol 4, which should give him plenty of time to cover some ground while chapters continue to be released ^^

I'll probably have more work to do for the rest of the month, but I'll try to get chapter 27 done as soon as possible!!

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!!

Samurai Usagi chapter 25

Here is it folks, the much anticipated and long overdue chapter twenty-five of Samurai Usagi!!!

So there isn't much I can say in regards to the lateness of this chapter that you haven't heard already...things like 'I've been busy job searching' and 'our typesetter has been busy job searching', 'I fail at staying on-schedule when it comes to personal projects' and 'why is it that summer is the busiest time of year when people should logically have more time in a day to do things?'

Well, that last one wasn't so much of an explanation as it was a question, but...I think I've made my point. But I'm going to try harder next time! I'll... I'll PUT MY FOOT DOWN and make sure everyone including myself does their work at a reasonable speed!! .....that's what I will try to do.

So here's the download link!

I gotta tell ya, while I was reading through this chapter I found myself thinking, damn it, these samurai are all bastards!! It seemed like a fresh revelation at the time, but after a while I realized that this was something that had been established at the very beginning of this manga. I was then amazed at how Teppei has managed to reiterate this notion over and over again without it ever getting dull, because he tells it from the viewpoint of a vast number of characters, each with their own personal outlook on the situation. It provides us readers with a large variety of opinions and ultimately makes for a very interesting story overall despite the simple base of 'a young samurai works hard to make his wife happy'.

And I think that's why I love this manga so much. So simple, but jam-packed with the emotions of all these characters and its a wonder if you don't get teary-eyed at the end of each arc- or each chapter! I know I do. Anyone who knows me knows how I love stories with a good emotional punch to them! So let's go everyone, on to volume four of Samurai Usagi! we're reaching the half-way point!! (but first, the chapter extras and vol. 3 omake...)

Update x 3

So I knooooow there wasn't an update last week, but I honestly didn't have anything to report, plus I'm running out of good SU fanart to add here...SO I decided to wait a week and see what came about! Luckily I do have something to say this time, but UNluckily the thing I have to say is that Rilen was unable to get chapter twenty-five translated this week, but assures me that he'll do his best to get it done by the end of NEXT week. Having a job sucks, doesn't it? Meanwhile, I've been busy looking for a job myself! Oh the irony.

Ah, I just realized I used a lot of uppercase font up there...oh well. So hopefully Rilen isn't too bogged down with work and manages to get the translated script for chapter twenty-five to our typesetter Sayo by then. Now that I have little more to do than sit around and wait for e-mail replies from various companies (T.T!!!) I will also have more time to do some translating myself. I have yet to hear back from my cleaners in regards to their progress on chapters 26-27, but I'm sure they'll be along in decent time as well.

And that's about it! Sorry about the long wait everyone, please continue to be patient as new chapters are coming ^^
