I translated chapters 31 to 40 of No Side several months ago. I've dropped the series now, but there's no need to let them go to waste, so I've uploaded them here. Do whatever you want with them, you don't need to ask or credit me. The only caveat: these are very rough translations. There may be typos and missing lines as well. I know jack-all about rugby, so the terms might be wrong as well.

Wish I had some fancy excuse, but I just don't feel like scanslating any more. I'll keep the blog up for another month or two before closing it down. Chapter 105 of Umishi will be the last one.Sorry, Umishi fans. Sorry, No Side fans. I wanted to finish at least Umishi before quitting, but I don't even have that much motivation left.Maybe now that I've gotten off the pot, someone can pick those

If you've been here long enough, you probably know I don't like Rin, I don't like Hiro and I don't like Maaya. But did you also know that I don't like Mr. Kasai either? At first he was okay as a slightly more competent bureacrat, but now everyone's all "O great Mr. Kasai, please sire my firstborn child and I'll be forever grateful, amen" and stuff, and it's really grating on me. Still, things

As the scanslator I probably shouldn't admit this, but what with the long gap and all that's been going on, I'd totally forgotten where we were in Umishi. Working on this chapter was just one "Huh? We're still here? Why?" after another.Anyway, real life drama is all over now, so look forward to faster releases unless something crops up again (fingers crossed).Umishi chapter 99

Apart from finishing up my dissertation I also have to move halfway across the world in a few weeks and find a job, so I really don't have time for scanslation right now.Looking on the bright side, I should be largely free from mid-October onwards. I'll try and release at least one chapter this month, but any real progress will have to wait till then.

All right, the worst of grad school is behind me now. I can't promise even weekly releases or anything, but I'll try to be much more regular from now on, especially with Umishi.No Side chapter 29

I bought another mouse and yes, it's yet another Logitech. I'm like a beaten wife at this point, sticking with Logitech even though they treat me so badly. "I-it's only three times in three years, it's not that bad." "Maybe it's my fault for not treating them well enough." "W-what if I don't find another mouse? I'll be mouseless forever!"

I bought a new mouse a few days ago and I'm about halfway done with Umishi 91. May was very busy for me and June promises to be even busier until at least the 25th, so you'll have to bear with me.

This will probably be my last release until I buy a new mouse later this month. My current Logitech mouse has just given notice after barely two years of service and it's impossible for me to get anything done with it sliding all over the screen clicking whatever it wants. They don't make them like they used to, tut tut.Of course the surprising thing here is that I've been doing this for that

Thanks to Athanor we can finally proceed with readable scans for No Side! Hip hip, hurray!Help me pick a new font to go with the new scans.No Side chapter 28I've decided to focus on releasing new chapters instead of redoing the last six LQ ones. It would take the same amount of time anyway, so moving forward is more efficient. But I can provide the scripts if some Good Samaritans want to redo

Originally I wanted to release a chapter of No Side so I could play with the new HQ raws, but the provider hasn't gotten back to me on what he wants to be credited as, so I can't use them yet. So we'll go with our regularly scheduled Umishi.Umishi chapter 89"Marine surveyor" is a real job, btw, but they do far more than just checking out accidents: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/

Rintarou takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'. Meanwhile Maaya continues to annoy me and waste precious pages. I think the whole point of her existence is to make Hiro seem preferable in comparison. It's definitely working.Also did a bit of research (i.e. read Wikipedia) about waves, as it seems they're right about the factors that bring about huge waves: Wind speed (they're in a typhoon)

"Oh yeah, I was totally going to do that myself!" Yeah right, Sawa. Suuuure you were.Sometimes I like Rintarou and other times I want him dead. But in either case I've still got to give credit where credit is due: he's got balls.Umishi chapter 81

On, on we go. And I must say, Nanba and Yamato Salvage's unprofessional attitude towards this job is slightly pissing me off. They act like they've never heard of a 'Plan B' before. All "OMG, salvaging a gas tanker during a typhoon is really hard!" Uhh, I could have told you that, guys. It's like they were expecting a picnic and sandwiches, or maybe a nice cup of tea and a biscuit. Like they'd

The start of a new year and the end of volume 8! I don't have any resolutions for 2011 and I didn't have any last year either. If I find something in my life I don't like I start to change it right away, I don't wait till the end of the year to have a sudden epiphany. Incidentally I spent the last hours of 2010 playing video games and surfing the net, the perfect end to any year.Happy New Year!

In the last chapter Bentendou lost their best played and found themselves 'Suarezed' first by the wind and then by lightning. Will things get worse in this chapter or is there any hope out there for the team? Find out in chapter 26, below.Chapter 26

You know, for a world-class salvage master, I'm astonished at the number of things Sawamura has forgotten to check or just assumed in this case. First there was the whole gas leak thing, where he conveniently managed to blame the whole thing on the Coast Guard, and now... Well, you'll see when you read this chapter. I think this is what is called "Plot Induced Stupidity", where otherwise sensible

When I come across a chapter like this, with extensive redrawing on almost every page, I can't help feeling that the artist has it in for me. Like Takemura was psychic or something and thought "How do I make this really painful for anyone who wants to scanlate this 4 years from now?" Anyway, it took a while but now it's done.

Here's your Umishi for July. This chapter contains a small treat for all Tokkyuu fans. Personally I always found the character designs a little too frog-like to be taken seriously so I've never been able to get into it. Shallow, but there you have it.Umishi chapter 70I'm all footballed out now (*cough*all my favourite teams are out*cough*) so I'll be working on translations a little more now.

Not to mention I spent most of 2006 working and studying and working some more, so it's been eight years since I got to cut loose like this.

This chapter contains a lot of nudity so reader discretion is advised.No Side chapter 22The raws are very bad, so if anyone has/knows where I can find better ones, please share.

Uhh, what I going to say? Oh yeah, I'm putting the hiatus off for one more chapter so I can finish up volume 7, so expect chapter 68 in a few days. Also it's not going to be total blackout, I'll still try and release a chapter every month or so just to keep things flowing.Umishi chapter 67

See, the number 66 is close to 666, maybe that's why I had so much trouble putting the chapter out. Photoshop CS2 finally quit without notice, forcing me to get CS3, which was all well and good except it makes my laptop run hotter than fire, which makes editing very uncomfortable. And that's not even counting the boredom and laziness I mentioned in my last post. So tired...Umishi chapter 66

I managed to get Photoshop back in line, though it still freezes every once in a while. Thing is, I'm bored and I don't feel like translating Umishi any more. For a while anyway. If anyone's willing to step up to the plate, I'll happily do the editing and you can do the translating. Otherwise after I release chapter 67 I'm going to take a break and work on something else for a while, until I get

I owe you guys an apology: I've been writing Narita Airport all along, but the airport in danger right now is actually Haneda Airport, also known as Tokyo International Airport. Subsequent chapters will refer to Haneda, and I might (might) redo the previous chapters to say Haneda, so don't be confused if you see Haneda from now on. Sorry for the mistake, that was careless of me.

If you're ever at sea in Japan and you run into trouble, don't call Tokkyuu! They'll just sit around in their ship/helicopter and throw dumb ideas around while you suffer down below in your ship. Pfft, and they call themselves a "Special Rescue Team". Bunch of amateurs!Chapter 63

I'm getting a craving for a short shojo series again, but you know what's stopping me? Strangely enough, it's fonts. It always takes me forever to think of what fonts to use for a new manga, and then shojo manga have like 3 or 4 fonts on every single page, it's hell

Moving on, new chapter! You'll notice the Special Rescue Team "Tokkyuu" getting more than their fair share of attention in the next couple of chapters. That's because Tokkyuu!! is the name of another manga series by author Yoichi Komori. It ran in Weekly Shonen Magazine from 2004-2008 while Umishi ran in Big Comic Spirits from 2004 to 2007. So it's a bit of cross-promotion as well as a treat for

I don't have it in me to start another project any time soon. I'll keep going with Umishi for a while longer and see if my schedule loosens up later in the year. Anyway, more ship towing adventures! Can Nanba Salvage get the Tartus safely to port?Umishi chapter 53Read onlineMirror

Chapter 48 is taking longer than usual because I'm trying to include the omake from volume 4 that I skipped last time and realizing I had a good reason for skipping it last time. I'm going take my time and several more days and finish it up.

Have you ever been tempted to just quit your job and stay home playing video games? I've actually done it before, for about three months. It was fun, only instead of playing games I found myself reading all day. And not even manga, but serious literature like Lenin in Zurich and stuff. I'd sit behind the PS2, hmm what to play today? Let me read some Hardy while I decide...what, 2am already? In

My phone and mp3 player got stolen due to a careless mistake I made, so I'm cross. I started tinkering with my computer to get my mind off it and before I knew it I was halfway done with chapter 44.

I started reading up on sharks while editing this chapter. Everything I read suggests that Rin and Hiro are complete idiots, but I don't need wiki to tell me that!Umishi chapter 42

Yay! There's always a sense of relief when you put something behind you. When I started out I thought I was going to release Azuki quickly, but it quickly became a chore to edit and the releases slowed down rapidly. Still all's well that ends well. For the record I think Chiyoko and Sanae would make the best couple. The other girls are just too childish.Now, for my next project there's a romance

On to volume 5! I used my mouse downtime to get all of volume 5 translated, so this one should be coming out pretty quickly. Just as soon as I get a new mouse and stop borrowing my sister's, of course. Can you believe this is my fourth mouse in 12 months? Maybe some things are just not meant to be.Umishi chapter 39

A tip for all would-be scanslators: never rely on a mouse that runs on batteries. That is all.

Phew, end of volume 4. There are 4 omake pages at the end, but I can't be arsed to translate them. Maybe later, much later.Umishi chapter 38

It is delicious last-but-one chapter of Azuki, you must read it. You'd think I'd be in a hurry to get the last chapter out so I'd be done, but I haven't even finished translating it yet. No rush.Azuki chapter 6MirrorRead online

I'm having a busy week so there'll be no releases this week. It doesn't help that the current arc in Umishi is my least favorite, like, ever.

Nothing much to say about this one except we're two chapters from the end of volume 4. I'd like to be done with at least 4 more volumes by the end of this year, which seems doable at this rate. We'll see how it goes.Umishi chapter 36

The average Azuki chapter has 24 chapters. The average Umishi chapter has 20 chapters. But still it always takes me twice as much time to edit Azuki because of all the bloody font changes and tons of text. Nowadays I edit it in 6-page batches every once in a while, which is why it takes so long to come out. Anyway...Azuki chapter 5MirrorRead onlineEDIT: Page 118 is missing. Get it below.
