Umishi chapter 69

Here's your Umishi for June and now I must be off. I've got a World Cup to watch! *ka-pwing!*

Oh, and all mangahelpers links are down, for obvious reasons. I'll get round to deleting them eventually.

No Side chapter 22

As promised, here's chapter 22 of No Side. You can read earlier chapters at Mangafox, or just use google for other sources. This chapter contains a lot of nudity so reader discretion is advised.

No Side chapter 22

The raws are very bad, so if anyone has/knows where I can find better ones, please share. Right now I could use some help cleaning these. It would make the series come out way faster if I could just focus on translating and typesetting and let someone else prepare the raws. As you can see, my standards aren't very high. I just have a few stipulations:
1. Don't resize anything
2. Separating the pages is optional (I left them alone)
3. Removing gutter shadow is optional (I left it alone)
4. Don't overlevel. Less is more when it comes to bad raws
5. Removing all the dirt is optional, but get rid of what you can without spoiling the art. See #4.
6. Do NOT use any filters. None. No, not even NeatImage. And certainly not those awful Topaz ones that turn everything into blurry grey blobs.

If you look at the raws and think you can do all that...hmm, let's see... send me an e-mail at [removed] and we'll talk. Ideally I'm looking for people who can take on whole volumes at a time, but if you can do even one chapter that'd be a big help.

Umishi chapter 68

Last chapter in volume 7, as promised. Next up will be No Side chapter 22. I'll be editing that as an example, after that I'll recruit an editor and focus on the translation. Enjoy.

Umishi chapter 67

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 66

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 on hiatus?

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 my Umishi mojo back.

Photoshop hates me

It won't run, but it won't let me uninstall it either. I hate you, Photoshop!

Haneda Airport, not Narita

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.

Umishi chapter 64

*scritch scritch*
I'm bored.
I have a lot of work to do, and I've sworn off videogames until I get it done. As a result I'm not doing the work, and I'm not gaming either. But at least I can still edit manga, so it all works out. For you guys, anyway.
