Comments on: "Progress Updates" (433)

  1. Did you see the episode? Of course you did!! Jinpachiiiii!! Maki-channn!!!!! : D but you don’t like it when he called him Jinpachi right? It is at episode 29 right now. There are only 10 episodes of it left, you think it finish the inter high or we get another season?? I think theres too much to squeeze it all in!!

    I really like Baby Steps and Haikyuu! Haikyuu’s episode is really great when Hinata finally got it! I ❤ it!! Baby steps, Ei-chan finally got his return : D now off to his first match!! I can't wait!

    • I did!!!!! XD ahhhhh so much fun!!!!!!! Hmm I didn’t, but I got used to it XD (it’s just that “Toudou” is shorter =P) and the little ending clip!! *flail*
      My prediction is either to the end of the first day or end of the 2nd day (but even end of the 2nd day seems too hard to fit in…because we need at 2-3 more episodes for the aces’ battle and then maybe one for in between days but that only leaves 6-7 for the 2nd day…..hmmmmm…I guess if in between days was just part of an episode they might get through day 2, but I don’t see day 3 happening yet…) They’d better give us a 2nd season!!!!!

      I’m having a lot of fun watching both shows! XD Hinaaaaaaa! ❤
      And yesss first match for Baby Steps!! I'm looking forward to it!

      • Ahaha yea! It is shorter! The ending clip where he called and he wouldn’t pick up! Omg! During the episode, I was like wow, Jinpachi is like confessing his love or something, it was like a romantic moment due to the words he said and all that. I would have thought so if I didn’t know any better lol.
        Right? The ace battle itself is very long. You still got to see Mido (ugh) come in then the other two helpers are going to be there for a bit, so there has to be 2-3 more episodes for the ace, I feel like they will end before the 2nd day, they like to do one to a moment, the sprint took a few episodes, the climb was one but that was shorter than the sprint, the ace was longer so that had to be a few and they have to show the scene after the 1st day, where toudou talks to jinpachi, tako gets his special reward, the green zekken, and then get sick, they have to have more!

        i know right? Both are great! Hinaa is awesome, I really want to see the Neko team! They were my favorite other team besides the main!
        Right?? I can’t wait!

      • I knowwwww that ending!!!! ❤ gah they're adorable!!
        Hmmm then if they go longer for the ace battle then it will definitely end after the first day…

        Yessss Nekoma!!! I like them too =) I also like Fukuroudani but they're not going to show up for a while XD

      • Yes! They are! Most of the ending are so cute! like when Naruko was like real men drink coffee and Onoda was like woww! But in reality, no! Or the ending where Teshima and Aoyagi were texting and talking and Teshima just knows what he means!
        Yea that is what i am thinking….
        I like Fukuroudani too, but they appear really later in the series though. I don’t know if it will get that far, it seems like it would stop at the end of the battle with that prince like guy Oikawa! : D Baby steps seem like it would end after Nabae the second time and beyond that a little.

      • Yesssss I love all the little ending bits! Way better than having a preview for the next episode!
        Yeah, I really doubt it since Haikyuu is set for 25 episodes…they may do a 2nd season but I feel like that would be a ways off…you’re probably right, the battle with Oikawa seems like a good place to end XD
        Hmmm…I don’t really remember when that takes place chronologically…was that after or before Ei-chan goes to the US? I really need to re-read the manga XD

      • Right??? They make all the characters so much more lovely! Abs Abs abs one with Manami and Todou? ahahah so cute! or the one when Imaizumi got into the anime : D he even went to the theater. Or when they wanted to copy the captain homework but he was writing an essay instead : D

        Well, the first time he fought Nabae was before he went to America, the second time he fought him, it was way pass when he went to America. He had the Kanagawa Cup, where he fought Miyagawa and then Araya. Then it is the All Japan Junior against Ide, and Takagi, then finally Nabae. He had other battles but they were the minors ones ahaha. Yea, it is a lot to remember! I reread it often >.> ahaha all three of these series : D

        Yea, one of the main posters for Haikyuu had Oikawa as the main guy and they did not show the second manager, Hitoka so I figured it would stop there. I hope they do! if it does well, they probably will but there is not a lot after that yet, so they would have to wait for more of the manga!

      • Yes they do!!! XD ahhh I have so much fun watching all of those (adorable) idiots XD

        Ahhh ok! I’ve only read Baby Steps once so far (Haikyuu only twice, Yowa at least 3 times >.>). Of course, I only got into Baby Stepa at the end of last year (I was really happy/surprised when I first heard it was getting an anime XD)

        Yeah, I’m actually surprised they started the anime despite the manga still not being that long yet (only barely over 100 chapters) but I’m not complaining XD

      • passingguy said:

        Hmmm, so you seem to enjoy sports manga/anime.

        Baby Steps, Haikyuu, Ping-pong, etc – I don’t watch any of those~~. 🙂

        There were also a few you mentioned in previous page and… I read none of them~~ ha ha! They are not for me, my friend~. 😛 So yowamushi pedal is sort of aberrance for me.

        The one I did read was called “Slam Dunk”. It’s supposedly one of the best sports manga ever (in Japan, of course), if not the best ever, but I suppose you haven’t read it, huh? Not your cup of tea? If you haven’t, I suggest you try. The first 10 volumes or so are pretty rough and dated (drawing-wise), but it gets more modern-looking soon enough. Well it’s old stuff (early 90s). The anime version was terrible, but the manga was still best sports manga I’ve read. But no one talks or knows about it these days, I suppose~~.

      • I do =)

        Nope, I’ve read Slam Dunk XD just forgot to mention it XD never seen the anime of it but I enjoyed the manga (ending made me sad =P)

      • Ahaha! They are idiots! The cute one but idiots! .>. ahaha. I discovered both Haikyuu and Baby steps before the anime came out so when I heard the news, I flipped. I was so excited. Sadly, it was not the case for yowamushi pedal!

        Yea, the manga itself is only 100 chapters so far, in both translated and in raws I believe, but I’m not complaining either! Babysteps has close to 300 out ahaha

        I heard of Slam Dunk but basketball never really appeal to me, I will try it though! I still got to catch up to Kuroko’s basketball!

      • Yup, yup! XD

        Yeah, I’d read ahead like I do with Daiya and Oofuri, but there really isn’t any more T.T oh well, I can wait XD

        They’re both fun, but very different even tho they’re both about basketball =)

    Is there no way to get some help with the translation from a scanlation group out there somehow? I would really love for this manga to be translated more quickly, and your translations are pretty good.
    Right now I’m baffled by how good this manga is yet how no one, apart from you, seems to want to translate it.

    • Lol the translation’s not the problem. Nobody seems to believe me when I say it takes the least amount of time XD (as a matter of fact, I’m nearly finished translating v23–and have been this far for at least a week. Haven’t had the time to work on it more, but the next free moment I get……). Anyway, I am getting help with the other stuff though. I personally found redrawing to take the most time when I was working on everything myself so I’m assuming that’s what takes the longest (I’m just glad I’m not the one redrawing anymore because it takes me forever and isn’t that good XD)

      Lol I’m as confused as you XD

      • Shiroi_Kage said:

        Well, if redrawing is what takes the most time then that’s when you should get yourself some more help with that 😛

        Good luck mate. I’ll be looking forward to the release 🙂

      • Well, it’s what took me the longest, but I’m no longer doing redrawing anyway XD (all I’m doing is translating now)

        Thanks =)

    I figure the aces’ battle at two episodes (30-31) with the results left as a cliffhanger into a third (32). Episode 32 could easily encompass the end of the first day, Tadokoro’s problems and the visit from Onoda’s mother. This would leave ep. 33 to start off the second day. Since the end of the season is supposed to be with ep. 38, this probably means we’ll be left with a cliffhanger somewhere in the middle of day 2.
    As long as they get to the Onoda/Tadokoro duet I’ll be happy, though I’m hoping we see the end of the current sprint battle.
    By my calculation, the end of Yowapeda season one will be about the same time the second season of Sword Art Online (Gun Gale/Phantom Bullet) starts. Who knows, maybe it’ll be in the same time slot. That might mean the second season of Yowapeda may kick off at the end of Sword Art, or shortly afterward.
    Actually, Dragon, I thought you did a fantastic job on your own. I can’t read or speak Japanese, but I think your translations are very good. They’re certainly make much more sense and are easier to follow than many others I’ve seen. The notations are also interesting as they show how many different interpretations you could’ve made from the dialogue. Like everyone else, I’m looking forward to the next installment.
    Though, I guess having Onoda and Tadokoro catch up to the team is going to have to be enough. My hope of the current two way battle becoming a three way one will probably remain my personal pipe dream. No one on the team has the strength left for it. Here’s hoping once all six are together they can recover enough to take the next checkpoint.

    • Hmmm but would they really cut off in the middle of one of the days? Episode-wise I think that makes sense (I’ve been saying end at day 1 or cram in day 2 because stopping in the middle just seems awkward…) Generally speaking, I feel like sports anime seasons tend to end after a “battle” and while each stage of the race could be considered that, it still seems weird…

      Hahaha if they get there, I’ll be thrilled XD I’ve been waiting to hear them sing in the anime!!

      Oooo thanks for the reminder! I remember something about SAO having another season but had totally forgotten about it =P

      Thank you!! I really appreciate your comments! ^o^ I’m very much a fan of the Japanese language so I try to stick to it as closely as I can (though I’ll be the first to admit I’m not perfect XD).

      Lol XD no comment!

      • passingguy said:

        Hey y’all, I will tell you what probably will happen with the anime. They will put in original anime arc! They will put in some fillers before the last episode ending with 2nd day starting. Done and done.

        That has almost always been the route the anime staff takes when they have to extra 3-4 episodes on their hands. The remaining 1st day + rest have enough materials to cover 4-5 episodes.

        I don’t see how nobody sees this~~! What’s all these speculation of condensing 2nd day or cutting out in the middle?? LOL C’mon~~ You know I’m right.

      • Hmmm…I’d considered fillers, but I didn’t think they would…..though actually, I could see them going into some of the bonuses, like the spare bike chapters or something…

    • That might be a possibility as well but i don’t want them to give me a cliffhanger! Omg, that would be terrible waiting ahaha

      • The pace is very slow in Anime.
        I only watch Kuroko and Babysteps, so maybe I do not know how sports anime made
        But, I just hoped The interhigh finished in the anime.
        Cos, I think there will be no season 2.
        Its not a very popular anime.
        even in my country the manga stop producing after 5 volumes.
        dont know if ir will catch up

      • Well, it depends on the anime, but Yowa’s been generally fast-paced. Maybe it just seemed that way to me…
        I don’t think it’s likely that it will finish considering how many episodes there are left, but I think there will be a season 2… I haven’t actually seen any numbers, but I got the impression that the blu-ray/dvds are selling well in Japan (and the manga’s popular) so if that’s true, then we’ll get a 2nd season. I hope XD

      • Lets pray together.
        and pray for publisher in my country too so the next volume will be available and FAST!!
        They just recently published Beelzebub and Reborn, but its already on 12th volume.
        Damn u Mainstream!!

      • Let’s =)
        (Yowa deserves much more popularity! XD)

  4. Dragon Sleeps said:

    Hi! It would be great if you could upload your translations to http://mangahelpers.com/m/yowamushi-pedal/translations/
    Thanks!

  5. thank you for your uploads
    really like this manga.. very excited about the ending of day 2
    I hope you can finish them quickly 😀 good luck

  6. Actually Sukikatte is doing (or is it ‘was doing’? Don’t know if the scanlator quit or still continues) the scanslation before this. Personally I like and download both releases for comparison and completion purposes. It’s interesting to know how different people translate the same text differently. It really shows what kind of writing background each translator has and where they come from. What kind of accent, styles etc. It’s endlessly fascinating to me haha I’m weird.
    Oh and Azraelth, I believe you when you say the translation part is the easiest part. I know. I’ve read the raws up till the latest volume and now I’m hopping on my seat just thinking about volume 33. Hahaha I wish it comes sooner T_T But it’s no good to rush the author. Good stuff never comes from anything rushed 🙂
    Me having read the raws does not, however, dampen my enthusiasm for your next release. As I said, I’m weird.
    PS> I love your notes too. A little insight into your head ahaha Maybe include them as little text files in each of your releases? As it is right now I copy paste them into little text files to accompany each of your volumes.

    • I know they were doing it before, but I haven’t checked if they still are >.> (I read their earlier releases and I’d assumed they are still, but I don’t know). But I’m still surprised that no more people are working on Yowa…
      I do agree with you about comparing though! It’s really interesting to see how people translate stuff, especially with Japanese ^o^

      Lol thanks! XD I’m glad someone does (everyone I’m working with is doing all the hard work so…) I’m soooo excited about later volumes in general! I know v33 was recently released and I’d heard that v34 would be as well, but I haven’t checked XD
      Have you been keeping up with the weekly releases as well?

      Lol XD no reason it should! (I’m the same way for other stuff I’m reading)

      And thanks! That’s actually a really good idea!! I had wanted to include them with the volumes originally, but they tended to drag on and most groups put notes (brief notes) in an accompanying image. I don’t know why I didn’t think of putting it in a text file XD

  7. you guys should check out ookiku furikabutte as well it’s my favorite!

  8. biiesh said:

    Just suggesting, but if redrawing is taking the most time, how about recruiting another person to work on it? wouldn’t that be easier on them and help speed things up? i can’t believe you’re already up to translating vol.23!! aaahh i can’t wait…

    • Well, I that’s just my supposition XD it could be that I was so bad at it (I was, really XD) that I’ve just got a skewed perception of redrawing. But they seem to be ok with it, though I’ll ask them if they want help!

      Lol XD after today I should be less busy, meaning I won’t be at v23 for long…but it gives me a lot of time to double check my translation and go back to the trouble spots where I just can’t find the right phrasing XD

  9. @Azraelth: You must be someone who started reading online scanlations recently. Old school scanslations used to do this a lot in order to make files smaller so that sending them using IRC would take less time. Slower internet and what not. Now with faster internet, they could afford to use pictures as notes so it’s rare to see newer scanlations to have text file notes. I remember Jojo, Berserk etc in the early days having text notes.
    I don’t keep up with weekly scans of Yowapeda. My heart can’t take it, the excitement and suspense. Small, weekly doses’ of Yowapeda wouldn’t satisfy me at all. I need one big shot 🙂
    I’m waiting for volume 33 to arrive by snail mail so I haven’t read it yet but I know it’s going to be awesom.

    • Well, depends on what you mean by “recently” XD I would say 7-8 years for me which is fairly recent considering a lot of things so yeah XD
      but I never used IRC so that’s possibly it too. So many things I don’t know XD

      Lol it’s definitely it’s own form of torment >.< but now that I've started, I can't stop…

      I hope you enjoy it when you get it! I have yet to buy my copy, but it's on my to-do list XD

    OHHHHHH Dragon sama, I can’t wait 😥

  11. DoDaDum said:

    Looks like you’ve gotten me beat! Guess I probably won’t be able to provide my new bike’s photo album for volume 16’s release as I have yet to make the purchase.

    • Lol XD well, that can always wait ’til next volume ^o^ (or the next XD)

      • DoDaDum said:

        Well, if you decide to release volumes like every week, then it’ll be like next, next, next volume. XD

        Expecting my new bike between the end of this month and mid June. Plan to order within the next two week, just no idea how long it would take Trek to paint the bloody thing……..

      • Nah, definitely not every week >.<

        Ahhh ok! I'll look forward to pics whenever it arrives XD

  12. skyecl0uds said:

    last one :O yahoo!!!

  13. Finally, Its around a Month huh??
    Good job Fellas, though it will only lasts minutes for me.
    Sports manga is so damn fast to read. Except Bbys steps I think

    • Lol this month has been busy XD (for me at least)
      It’s almost like cooking XD (takes a while to make and not nearly as long to devour)
      I dunno, I think it’s about as fast as any other manga…

      • Well, I’m satisfied with the speed.
        Most manga will need 1 week every chapter while u do around eight or nine a month
        But, I just cant help cos I saw in mangaupdate its already on 30+ Volume
        ahahahah . . . .
        thank u very much bro

      • Glad to hear it =)
        Wow, that’s true XD I never thought of it that way XD
        Yeah, the manga just released v33 and the weekly chapters are beyond that (I can’t wait to get that far!)
        You’re welcome!

      • Yeah, and what makes me more excited is I saw Sugimoto Terufumi as cover in Manga updates
        it means he is better now rite???

        I cant wait until it catched up
        Another yowa character that climbed all the way from bottom

      • Lol no comment XD have to wait and see 😉

      • Cheapskate >_<

  14. IT’S HERE! I got the latest volume (33) in the this morning and I devoured the whole thing. I read and re-read it and I have to say, “KOGA-SAAAAAN” Yeah! Damn Stamina Freak is in the house!. And Kaburagi is so damn cute. Argghh waiting for volume 34 is going to be excruciating…

    Also, Onoda is sooo adorable too. That is all.

    • Lol yessssss!!!! XD it’s a really great volume! Lol poor Kaburagi, I just wanna pat his head and give him a hug half of the time ❤
      And Koga!!! Ahhh he's awesome! And his backstory T.T poor guy! (And I keep imagining how his conversation with Onoda on the topic of glasses went XD)
      Well, at least you'll probably get the full battle in the next volume…I was reading this part when it was being released weekly and it was awful having to wait…

      Onoda is adorable always and forever. This is a fact of life. XD

      • I was laughing so hard the scene where Onoda was telling the rest of the crew about Koga and how, right at the juiciest part, segues into a talk about how their glasses kept misting up and ways to stop it.

        I bet Koga did a deflection when both him and Onoda were talking about his past, not really wanting to talk about it, and Onoda, enthusiastically jumped in not knowing that it was a deflection.

        “See this? Somehow it’s got silver in it and it repels water” ahahaha

      • Yesssss XD makes me laugh every time I read it XD ahhhhh *flail* and Onoda’s just oblivious! .> I wanna talk glasses with Onoda and Koga-senpaiiiii)

    Thanks so much for translating Yowamushi Pedal. I am going through a phase right now where I am obsessing over sports manga (not the sports type myself but love the manga) and I came across this one just recently and… (squee!!!) It seemed to fly by too fast, I really am glad you post up the whole the volume in one go I would have gone a little bit more crazy otherwise. I’m just glad that I can still get my dose of Yowamushi and you’re an awesome person for doing this.

    • You’re welcome!! XD I’m a huge fan of sports manga myself and this series in particular is amazing ❤
      Lol the cliffhangers are bad enough as it is volume by volume XD
      Thanks!

  16. I’m starting to hit refresh every hour

    I think I’m the only one that is not in a rush for that LAST chapter. Maybe I’m getting my fix by riding? Actually patiently waiting for it and thinking, it’s going to be complete when it’s completed.

    • ahaha, I am with you!! Just have to be patient and it will come out soon! : D I want to get myself into riding too, but a road bike costs a lot 😦 My mountain bike is no longer able to be used! I have to save up to pay for graduate school applications sighs, and summer classes!!!

      • Soon, I promise >.<
        T.T
        Lol grad school itself is expensive, not just the application T.T

        Don’t get me going, I have to prepare for my GMAT…… My school of choices for my MBA is going to cost me an arm and a leg. Thank god I already saved up money for my new bike. haha.

      • Ooooh sounds fun (not). I’m so glad I’m past all the testing stuff (was just GREs for me). Ahahaha…haha…ha…sigh… why must grad school be so expensive T.T
        lol XD

      • DoDaDum said:

        Not so for me since I finished my undergrad a while ago and finished all my math and English class back in freshman year…. God, the amount of stuff I forgot….. The last time I wrote a full fledged essay was like decades ago…. Well, at least the math can be picked up a bit easier, haha.

      • Lol XD well, you hopefully won’t be writing many essays in business >.>
        I was never fond of math, but luckily I’m good at it (’cause I can’t escape it XD). I haven’t had to write essays in years (long reports are a different story tho). I’m in finals right now so yeah…….

    • Do you use Strava? http://www.strava.com/clubs/sohoku 😀 join us

    • Lol you may be right XD

  23. Wooot!!! Did you see the new episode of Yowa???? Arakita is so cute! Omg! When he was like, stop up. Stop cheering. Don’t tell me to do my best? i was cracking up so much!! i like how they did his back story now instead of waiting, it seem more suitable now! But Arakita is such a cutie ❤ and the end?? with the black neko? gosh, so cute!~ Imaizumi is a beast now!~ no longer a good boy ❤ but honestly we know hes a good boy who likes to watch love hime anime with Onoda 🙂
    Baby steps was good! We saw the first match!! He is about go put up a fight now and show that he is better than a normal beginner!~ can't wait
    Haikyuu?? Hinata is seriously so cute. How he was so nervous and then threw up. Gosh, I love this season with anime! I can't wait till they play the match! I can't wait till they get their Libero and Ace!! : DDDDD
    Today is such a good day!

    • Those origin stories are getting a bit out of hand xD I mean, I really liked Spare Bike, maybe those stories should have showed up in a short strip fashion like Spare Bike :<

      • Yea, I get what you mean. I think it because it gives the characters more depth to them. It makes me love the character even more, but it does drag on a lot though ahaha. I have a feeling we will have a long one based on Mido >.< not really looking forward to that but it be interesting to see how he got the way he is now.

      • I think the anime should keep Midousuji a mistery as far as they can, I can take the other characters origins, maybe the manga get there in some moment, but Midousuji is so elemental to the success of the series that spoiling that “gotcha!” moment would be fatal

      • Ehehehehehe XD (gosh it sucks to know and not be able to say anything =P …it will be a looooong while yet…)

      • I, on the other hand, can’t wait to see Mido’s background XD (even tho I already know =P)

      • Which origin stories?

      • I want to know Mido yet I don’t. I know if i know his story, I would feel bad for the guy and like him a little but >.< ahaha. I wanted to see Shinkai!! He is so cute ❤ Oh and Manami!

      • Must. Not. Say. Anything. >w<
        Shinkaiiiii!! Actually, the next two spare bikes have Shinkai in them, and I think there aren't any spoilers in those (will have to re-read to be sure) so I might try to have those up after the next vol XD
        And Manami ❤
        GAH I need to see ep30. Not letting myself until tomorrow GAH

    • Yeah the new episode 30 is awesome !! If anime pace keep up like this it will be reach the scans soon. Episode 30 already volume 12 and few volume 13.. So close to scan -___-. What volume will interhigh end in manga bro? 21-22? If so maybe anime will end after interhigh. Wish u all d best sleeping dragon…

    • Not yet *sob* T.T but I will soon enough >.> Arakita is soooooo adorable tho XD
      The first match!!! I can’t wait for the next episode either!!
      And Haikyuuu!!! ahhh Hinata’s adorableeeeeee ❤
      This season has been amazing lol XD

      • yea! They will give us another season lol! We didn’t even see the end of the ace battle for the first day yet! That should be 1-2 episodes depends if they want to make it dramatic ahaah. The after day with Onoda’s mother, Tadokoro getting all sick and Todou visiting Onoda ahaha would take an episode! So we get into the second day, but i don’t think we finish ahaha.

        Yes. Arakita is so cute! He was yelling in his head and was like oh shut up. man so cute!
        Yes!! Hinata is so cute!~ he is so small and cute and has so much energy! wow!~

      • I was thinking 3-ish total with dramatization, but we’ll see XD

        Now I wanna watch T.T (holding back is tough >_<)
        I just wanna give him a huggggggg ❤

      • Right? I think 3 is possible as well! It would be awesome though and you know either way, we get more episodes but this anime is so popular! They will have to show us the second season soon and it be so awesome! I can’t wait either. Right? I want to give them all a hug!

      • I totally agree XD

  24. Great job dragon and the gang! Though, forgive me for this, but the wait is killing me. Its like looking forward to HxH’s new chapters. This manga is in par with how good the latter is, for me. 🙂 Thank u very much again for your work.

    • You’re welcome XD
      Lol HxH’s (multiple) hiatuses (is that the proper plural for hiatus? O.o) already killed me XD but I understand the feeling T.T

      • ah don’t lose hope on HxH. always “look forward” (watched Yowa’s ep.30). maybe Togashi-sensei and Watanabe-sensei are just biking together, searching for new material. xD

        PS: hiatuses will do, even hiatus by itself can be plural (THATS ACCORDING TO GOOGLE) 🙂 i admire dragon’s (your) eloquence.

      • Lol I haven’t XD I heard word that the hiatus may soon end XD (I’ve just stopped worrying about it XD). Ahahahahah
        I see! Google is the final authority on everything XD (thanks~)

  25. Do people recommend reading the raws to see what’s going on or do most people wait for the translations? I can’t believe that the interhigh goes till vol 27 and I don’t think I can wait a year or so to find out what happens. XD

    • Judging by comments I’ve had in the past, some people read the raws, some people wait XD
      It does go on ’til v27, and while maybe I’m not the right person to say this (since I’m the translator >_>), I know I couldn’t put it down until I caught up to the weekly releases (must. know. what. happens. next.)

    • If you can understand Japanese and know where to buy the books or download the raws then go ahead and read the raws. Just remember that, with reading the raws, the pool of people you can share your knowledge and talk about how awesome stuff that happens that hasn’t been translated yet becomes really small. Thankfully, I can post here a bit and squeal and gush over how cute Kaburagi is, how adorable Onoda is and how funny the current volume is etc. with Azraelth.

      Also, reading the raws is great practice if you’re learning Japanese and it’s a lot of fun. I recommend buying the books. Makes a great display piece and you support the author.

      • My Japanese is so bad; I’ve forgotten most of what I ever learned. But I bought vol 17 on saturday in Japanese. Unfortunately, I got spoiled for the ending of the first inter-high so I’m kinda bummed out now. The suspense is now gone and that was so important for me because it made it way more fun. ahhhhhhhh…..

      • I second that lol. Trying not to spoil things for others is tough XD (and there are some reaaaaaaally awesome parts among the general awesomeness of Yowa that I can’t wait to get to).

  26. Any plans to releasing your translations online so people can use them whilst reading raws? 😀 I wanna read raws but I don’t understand japanese D:

    THANKS FOR ALL YOUR WORK BTW
