Sweet Ninja Girl Azuki chapter 3

I'm suffering from Gamer's block. I hit the final level in Persona 3 and suddenly lost all will to continue. This is the third game in a row this has happened to me with. I think my days of finishing everything I pick up are over. But don't worry, this won't happen with my scanslations. I hope.

Umishi chapter 31

I went to a funeral yesterday :'-( I hate funerals. To distract myself I was thinking about Umishi, and I remembered volume 1. Dude, they left Rin's dad's body lying in the house for like two or three days. In summer! That is seriously gross! Unless they sent it to be embalmed and then brought it back to lie in the house just because. That's even more gross. So, thinking about Umishi didn't help at all in any way.

Umishi chapter 29

The mention of the Russian submarine on pg. 10 is a clear reference to the real life raising of the Kursk by a team of Dutch companies: Mammoet and Smit International. Smit --> SMATT? It's so blatant.

Sweet Ninja Girl Azuki chapter 2

The second chapter of this series. Azuki starts her mission for real.

Incidentally my favourite character so far is Botan. I like sneaky-sweet characters like her. SPOILER, don't read: Too bad she doesn't show up again after this chapter. ;____;.

Umishi chapter 28

We now return to our regularly-scheduled programming with another chapter of Umishi. Yay, it's the end of volume 3! I always get excited when I finish a volume of anything. I feel like I just had kittens or something.

In this chapter Rin and the rest of Nanba Salvage are having a well-deserved celebration after raising the ship when a party pooper appears...

Sweet Ninja Girl Azuki chapter 1

One gets so tired of scanslating good manga all the time. Sometimes you want to dip your hands into something less than worthy. That something, for me, turned out to be Sweet Ninja Girl Azuki. It's exactly what it says on the tin: She's a girl, she's a ninja, she's...sweet??? and her name is Azuki. And she's given a task to protect the heir to a financial empire.

You might think I'm trolling when I say it's not good, after all the art is really cute, the characters seem to have potential and the story, well, seems to have promise. Ah, if only something, anything had come of it. I'm telling you all this not to spoil you, but so 7 chapters later when this all comes to nothing and you're thinking "What a waste of time!" I can step in and say "I told you so!"

Keep reading (or better yet, don't start at all).

I'm in a good mood. So I feel like scanslating something really bad. Look, err, backward to it.

Umishi chapter 27

This chapter didn't have much text in it so it didn't take long to edit. I'm still a bit surprised I was able to get it out this quickly, at the same time I'd be happier if I could get them out even faster than this, because 12 more volumes is a long way to go. On the other hand I'd have to sacrifice my precious gaming time to do so and brrrr, just thinking about that gives me the shivers. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some gnosis to kill.
