Chapter 24 is on its way!

Hello all! Its been quite a while, hasn't it?

I just wanted to pop in and let everyone know that the next chapter of Samurai Usagi will be on its way...soonish. The whole team has been extremely busy in the past few months with work, school and everything in between. Even I've been having trouble finding time for myself, when I usually have such a plentiful supply of it. I've finished my final classes and am currently undergoing an internship at Stone Canoe, an animation company located in Toronto, Canada. The work is fun, but my days are long. It takes an hour to get to the city by train, so during the ride I've been cleaning pages and doing what translations I can without any dictionaries on hand (and no internetz). I'm hoping to have a chapter ready for release by the end of next week!

Until then, just sit tight!

P.S- I'm going to be cosplaying as Shino at Canada's Anime North convention next month! Are there any other SU cosplayers out there?

Samurai Usagi chapter 23

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYONE!! Here's chapter twenty-three of Samurai Usagi! I have some special news to accompany our release this time around, so please read on!

First off, I'd like everyone to give a warm welcome to the newest edition to the SU Scanlation team, Sayo! Sayo will be working as our typesetter from now on, and this chapter was her first job ever! With this, we now have five official members! Now we're a real team! Because everyone knows you're not a real team unless there's at least five of you XD

My second topic for today is a little more serious...and that is...manga reading sites! Scanlation groups who try to keep their releases restricted to their website of choice...and official English publishers, who've really been cracking down on illegal activity as of late. As some may or may not know, there are many manga reading sites such as Manga Fox and Manga Here that choose to ignore the requests of certain scanlation groups when they ask for their chapters to not be uploaded to reader sites. This is not only rude and disrespectful to the scanlation teams that put so much hard work into distributing this manga, but also an endangerment to their entire operation. The reason why these scanlation groups ask for their chapters to not be released in certain places is to draw attention away from them. If there's too much buzz going on with a certain manga, official publication companies will take notice, and this could get these scanlation teams in serious trouble! But a lot of manga reading sites just don't give a damn, and upload the chapters anyways :(

Now, now, don't worry! Because Samurai Usagi has a fairly small fanbase (which I am pained to admit T.T!!) and currently no official English releases to speak of, we are in no danger of being sought out and punished. All I ask is that people make an effort to respect the wishes of the scanlation groups who are under close watch. If they ask for their chapters to not be uploaded at certain locations, please do not upload them! Even if they have been uploaded to a manga reading site you visit, try downloaing the chapter from them directly instead of increasing traffic! Official publishers can and do take notice of manga that are viewed frequently and receive high rankings, so by simply going to the websites of these scanlation teams instead of reading their releases online, it takes quite a bit of heat off them.

That is all! And now without any further delay, here is the download link.

Samurai Usagi chapter 20

HERE IT IS! Chapter twenty of Samurai Usagi is finally complete for your reading pleasure!

I would like to sincerely apologize to all the fans of this manga who had to wait so long for this update! The whole SU scanlation team was working very hard on this release, but even so our work schedules were just too out of line to make any speedy progression! In any case, its all over now, and we'll do our upmost to ensure that this never happens again.

And so, please enjoy!

New Chapter Coming Soon!

Hello all! As many may have noticed, its been about a month since chapter ninteen of Samurai Usagi was posted...so where's chapter twenty!? Well, we're working on it, but there's been some trouble...mainly because the team is very busy with real life matters! School, work, illnesses...some of us are so busy that we can't even check our e-mails regularly, so communication between all of us is also going slowly! Its crazy I tell you!!

But the main point of this post is not to make excuses, but to let everyone know that chapter twenty of Samurai Usagi (and subsequent chapters) is on the way! If all goes well, people should expect to see an update on Monday, or at the very least sometime next week! Look forward to it!

And in the meantime, please enjoy this piece of lovely fan art, made by Hangdok from devianART!
