Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu OVA 2

Hello Everybody.

No no, this is not a new chapter of Kyou or Sukitte but a new chapter could be coming soon...VERY soon.

Suki-tte Ii na yo vol04 ch13

Tsk Tsk Tsk...Oh, how I spoil you all. It's only been what? 5 days since I released two chapters of Kyou and now, a chapter of Suki-tte?

But this project is a joint with Midnight Scans so everyone should thank them as well.

Without further ado, chapter 13.

Enjoy everyone.

*Midnight Scans does not want their projets posted elsewhere, even if they are joints.*

Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu vol09 ch52-53

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY EVERYONE!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!

AND CELEBRATIONS!

SPORADIC MADE IT TO 2ND ANNIVERSARY!

So here it is, just like I promised. DOUBLE RELEASE!!! Finished these two chapters in a day to get it ready for anniversary. I totally missed it last year.

Can you believe it? I've been doing this for 2 years now. Granted, I've had help along the way and got myself cleaners (shout-out Azure, TMie, Saramon, & Sheida), I usually quit doing something after a couple weeks because I have a really short attention span. Along with patience. REALLY low patience and scanlating takes time and effort.

So I want to say Thank You to everyone for following me in my journey in the world of scanlating, watching my progress over time, and staying with me even in the beginning when my work was total $H!T!

................

(^Doesn't that sound like I'm going to quit...?) LOL

Alright, I'm gonna stop messing around and give you all what you want after seeing me put up the notice that I completed the 2 chapters a few days ago.

Happy Trails!

Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu vol08 ch51

^not a very exciting cover page...

With this post, we have completed Vol 08! YAY! Another volume done!!!

Sorry for taking so long everyone! Trying to graduate and then get back into school is not an easy task...

So some might have seen from the 'Projects' page that I am considering scanlating another manga, "Say 'I Love You'". I bought vol 4 & 5 already but will either need to buy the Chinese version or find myself a Japanese Translator/Typesetter (*hint hint*) so that scanlation project isn't gonna make an appearance any time soon. And should I really plan on taking on another manga...?

Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu vol08 ch50

So yesterday, I was being a tad moody/pissy/bitchy/angry/etc. But whatever. I'm over it. I like reading good to high quality manga from other scanlation groups so I should give what I expect to receive. Therefore, FEAR NOT! I won't be quitting anytime soon...probably not till I get a full time job...who knows...

Update: Status of Ch50

Ok, just so that everyone doesn't think I dropped off the face of the universe...I am still alive and working on chapter 50.

Good news!

I HAVE A NEW CLEANER!

Her name is Sheida and she does an awesome job at cleaning. You'll get to see her work when new chapters are released.

So, under some advisement from my new cleaner, she thought I should leave everyone a message. As most of you probably already know, Ch50 was released on MangaFox. The quality of the scans are LQ but readable. Usually, I would just forget about the chapter and move on to the next but since Sheida had worked really well on the chapter, I can't just forego it and waste all her efforts. Therefore, my dedicated readers and followers, please just wait a tad longer for the HQ version of ch 50.

Nevermind what I said above. Another group called So Mistaken Maids has decided to pick up KKWH as a project as well. Granted they aren't scanning the manga and just using the Chinese scans but two groups working on the same project is really pointless in my POV.

So here it is, do people still want me to work on this project?
---------------------------------------------------
In other news, someone pointed out to me something kinda interesting...

The left side is from ShoComi and the right is the Chinese version scan. How can the version from the direct magazine be missing the last panel? =o.0=



Whoever that person was who asked me in my chatter box about getting a higher quality of that panel for an avatar, I'm sorry. I don't have it either, lol.

Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu vol08 ch49

Yeah yeah yeah. I went brain dead for a bit and posted those pages without realizing that it was spoilers so to rectify my mistake, I burned through 2 hours to bring you ch49. My fingers are seriously cramping...T_T...You all are getting another chapter waaaaaaaay too soon, lol. Totally spoiling you guys.

But I really wanted to post the 2-page spreads in the chapters as they were meant to look. So now the impact is gone... Unless I get a cleaner on staff who can draw and clone, all 2-page spreads for future releases will be none.

Therefore...

STILL LOOKING FOR A CLEANER

The two images in the previous post are still what I am using to gauge your cleaning abilities. So email me your resume aka the cleaned image.

One more thing...I found an angel of a helper who offered to help me preclean/tone the raws before anything is done to them. She goes by the name Tranquil Melancholy or TMie, the creator of Whatever Scanlation, so everyone, say Hi, lol.

Now Hiring!

Alright everybody. Sorry to those who have emailed me before about helping me out and I didn't respond but I just wanted to do an announcement for it...

I need to hire another cleaner...BOO...because Saramon has started college and can't handle both cleaning and college at the same time. I wish her the best of luck with school.

So, if anyone is interested in helping me and becoming a cleaner, clean 1 of the 2 images above (fill in the white space) and email it back to me. These images require drawing and cloning so if you can do these pages, you can do future cleanings as well.

Use this site for reference/help: http://www.unblessed.net/guide/main.html

Please, serious applicants only and someone who can last longer with the job. I really don't want to have to look for people again. I'd prefer someone with some scanlating experience or is familiar with using PhotoShop.

Great Motivation...

I've been chewing over this for the past 2 days and I really have to let this out...

I usually go to Mangafox to see some readers' opinions on the manga. Well, after I released ch48, The Very Next Morning, I head on over to MF and I see a thread like this created. No Joke! It's removed already but can any of you just imagine how offended I was (and still am)? Of course, a ton of people put that user in his/her paces and reamed her/him out right after the thread was created but still. I should totally ignore ingrates like that because there are usually just a couple of them and everyone else are just total angels...^o^...but come on...

Seeing something like that is just really great motivation...

PS: If there is any misconception out there, I DO NOT end a chapter at any certain page because I want to. The chapters are set that way and I just scanlate per chapter.

PPS: And yes, I am totally putting that MF user's name on blast because I don't care!

Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu vol08 ch48

Anyone doubted me that I was gonna be able to post this chapter within the month of July? Finished ch48 with 3 days to spare. I should just be a tad more cruel and post this on the 31st...but with my short term memory, I'd most likely forget, lol. Anyway...

OMG! Kyouta can't kiss Rika! NO NO NO!!! Do Not Want!!!

Happy Reading!

Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu OVA 1

This was the cd cover for the OVA that came with the special edition Vol09. I have no idea how to buy special editions so my Vol09 was just regular.
Oh Poop!

I am still working on translating/typesetting ch 48 but no promises of when it'll be released. I've got other things to do but be rest assured, it will be released before July is over. Until then, I thought I'd upload the OVA for everyone to download and it is subbed. Most of you have probably seen it already but whatever.

Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu vol08 ch47

So I heard about someone doing ch47 over at MangaFox. At least they tried. I don't have much to say this time so yeah...

Here's another chapter done by yours truly, Twisted-Lemon and Saramon.

Have fun downloading the chapter everyone, BUAHAHAHA!

Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu vol08 ch46

I'm a couple of days late and into June but "Better Late Than Never" right?

So, us here at Sporadic Scanlations have upgraded the quality of the scans, all thanks to Saramon.

click to enlarge and see quality difference
left = before / right = now

Which version do you prefer?

And remember, showing a little appreciation and saying a simple thank you to me or Saramon makes scanlating all the more worth doing.

[Yes, I'm fishing for thank yous and compliments, >.< ]

Enjoy this chapter.
(And I think it ends on a cliffhanger again...sort of...)

Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu vol08 ch45

I think this just might be my favorite cover...

This chapter was LITERALLY painful to do since I got into a car accident recently so I have back pain and can't stay seated at the computer for long periods of time. But I really shouldn't be doing any sort of scanlating at all since it's the end of the semester and I have a shitload (excuse my French) of work to do...

BUT

I said to myself that I would at least get 1 chapter released each month so I made it with 1 day to spare for April.

Have fun reading!

PS: What you guys think of the new layout? Too girly...?

Vol 02 Chapter 11 version2

First, here's a redo of Vol 02 Chap 11, that includes the 3 missing pages. I translated them using my 1 year of learning basic Japanese and online translators but they make sense, at least.

mediafire

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Onward to...NEW CHAPTER!!!

Nobody better be complaining about having to wait a month for a release. I did this chapter early. I was waiting to do this chapter during my spring break (1 week from now) but I'm procrastinating on my projects/papers so there you have it.

And other news...I HAVE A HELPER!!!

Her name is Saramon and she is in charge of removing text/clone stamping. She did an awesome job with cleaning out the text that's over the image. Waaaaay better than what I can do. So everyone, a warm welcome and round of applause to

SARAMON!!!

Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu vol07 ch43

I honestly could have done better on this chapter but I got projects coming out of the wazoo for every class, so scanlating is sort of taking a back burner. It doesn't help that I've been reading disheartening comments by some netizens...whatever, it is what it is. So here is chapter 43 for everyone. Enjoy.

Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu vol07 ch42

Here is a revision/redo of chapter 33 because the whole name issue thing is making people over at MangaFox keep having discussions over. And there are re-translations of some areas because I wasn't really paying attention the first time I translated the chapter. So let's go over this again...

Last name, First name:

Hibino, Tsubaki
Tsubaki, Kyouta.

And yes, if she marries him, her name will become Tsubaki, Tsubaki. LoL!

Can someone repost chapter 33 at places like MangaFox/OneManga?

Onward to new chapter...


So apparently, nobody understands my humor or commented on my "post" for chapter 41. *Sigh* Guess I'll just be boring and post normally when I post new chapters...

ch 42: mediafire, sendspace

PS: I "might" be redoing previous chapters while I wait for vol 08.(Since I can't get my hands on quality scans without scanning them myself.)

ATTENTION!

Here's a little assignment for everyone. There are only 3 chapters left of vol.07 and after that, it will be the wait for vol.08 to come out...

UNLESS...

...someone supplies me with good quality scans of chapter 45 & up. And I'm not talking about the chinese version scans because they are practically unusable (ie 17kk.net, comic.veryim.com, www.xdy.js.cn, etc). Also, not scans with "BillWang Angel###" watermark either. And please, no scans with an obtrusive watermark. Yes, I know, I put my "© Sporadic Scanlations" watermark on my scans too but it's not colorful, huge, and obtrusive, RIGHT?
(^You all better be saying "No, of course not!" to that question! >.<)

So in conclusion...

1) If you scanned the chapters yourself, give me your name (or how you would like to see your name on the credit page).

OR

2) If you found the scans from some site, either give me the url or send me the chapter(s) AFTER you got permission from the scanner.

Send them to me at sporadic.scans@gmail.com

Otherwise, after chapter 44, LET THE WAIT BEGIN!
