Status update

Note: Sekainohate no aimashou c13 that we released earlier was actually chapter 14.  Sorry, but we just realized the error.  That means that the actual chapter 13 has yet to be worked on.  Given that typesetting for the actual chapter 15 has been outsourced to animanga cafe, we will start translation work on the true chapter 13.  If animanga cafe does not finish chapter 15 by the time chapter 13 translations are completed, we will do the typesetting ourselves.  Sorry for the inconvenience!  When the next chapter is released, I'll update the actual links and posts.

Because of critical personnel shortages, we will now be releasing Sekainohate no Aimashou as a joint project with animanga cafe, translations for c15 have already been sent to them for typesetting.

I've noticed that the mediafire link for secret maiden revolver is acting all wacky, so I reuploaded it to megaupload.

AKB48-scans never really got back to us on the AKB49 issue, so we delayed it until it was confirmed they dropped it. During that time though, sense scans has put out 2 releases. Since they've started working on it, we're dropping the project. Even so, I've reposted the chapter 15 link.

So... Just out of curiosity, I checked the download count for sekainohate no aimashou c13 and found it to be.... 2. Now the thing is, one of those was probably me simply viewing the page and the other was probably because I sent the link to someone at animanga cafe. That means that no one has downloaded it. When c14 is finished, I'll probably try and get us listed on baka-manga updates for a bit more exposure.

Sekainohate de aimashou chapter 14

This manga hasn't been updated in a while, so we thought we'd give it a try. Currently, we are critically short handed and recruiting translators (both C and J) and editors! If you're interested in working(or collaborating with us) on any of the projects, please email me at

Secret Maiden Revolver 1

We're proud to present our first relatively high quality release:

Secret Maiden Revolver Chapter 1

http://www.mediafire.com/?2sdd39d9f8vn2ev

...I'm kinda annoyed that people are copy pasting the sub-par "plot summary" I put up, so here's a better one:

Tachibana Hinata is always bullied by his classmates for looking like a girl, despite longing to be manly. Suddenly, he's dragged into a mech battle royale exclusively for maidens! How will he deal with this, while preserving his maculinity?

Not sure if this a oneshot. If it isn't, we may release scanlations some time after the raws come out.

Edit: "Not Lives" has been dropped. Someone at Farhad already translated it, find the link here: http://tgmangas2.free.fr/forum/index.php?showtopic=1721&st=120

For now, we will remain on indefinite hiatus until we find a series to pick up (or until AKB49 is cleared for release).

For any readers, if you have any suggestions for projects, please email me at bitterfusillade@gmail.com

Keep in mind we only have a chinese to english translator, so we'll need chinese raws (if you're interested in translating, please email me).

New project

Since AKB49 scanslation progress has more or less been filibustered (at any rate, progress on chapter 17 won't begin until chapter 14 is released by the current scanslator as per our scanslation/release policy and won't see the light of day until chapter 16 is released), we're considering new projects. The presence of only a chinese to english translator severely limits our choices though.

For now, here is a list of upcoming projects:

Not Lives [cancelled]:

Secret Maiden Revolvers:

http://www.lightnovel.cn/thread-338771-1-1.html

Links found on Farhad's forums. As such, any completed scanslations will be exposed there first. No promises on any deadlines; these one shots are both long and detailed (read: typesetting headache).

AKB49 Chapter 15

Under New Management

Hi this is bitterfusillade, the new manager of the blogspot. When m said he'd take care of creating a blog, it seemed like it'd be ok. I'm not entirely sure what happened but I think he became a megalomaniac or something, which explains his troll posts earlier.

Let me provide an insight into what we are and what we're doing. We're a ragtag group of people with the tools necessary for scanslation, who have somehow formed an agreement that we like certain manga like AKB49. While it's nice that it's being (consistently), actively translated, the translation rate is kind of slow. Because of that we want to do what we can to speed it up by releasing our own sub-par (double translated), but still readable chapters.

Now, I'm not sure what the original scanlators would have in mind to our actions, but since our goal is to speed up the translation process, we will contact them to prevent conflicts before this site, and our translations gain exposure.

P.S. Technically this is a manga blog so here's some manga info: Translation on AKB49 chapter 15 has been completed and is awaiting typesetting and proofreading. It won't however be released until chapter 14 is released.

Recruiting editors, translators, and raw obtainers!

You may be asking, "....that's a whole scanslation team, what DO you have?"

Well originally we had this guy named "m" who did work on scanlations but then he went "I quit, I don't get paid and scanlsation is boring as watching paint dry"

So now I'm recruiting the whole lot!

Now you may also be asking "why the crikey would anyone join?"
That is a very good question because THERE IS NO GOOD ANSWER. DON'T EVEN APPLY. HAR DE HAR

This is not a serious recruitment effort but of a something in a something with a something at the something.  Also because I'm bored and there's no one to stop me!!!

On a completely unrelated note: Has anyone noted that democrats and republicans are playing chicken with the nations budget?!  BEST TROLLING AND GAME OF CHICKEN EVAR!!! For those hardcore old congressman, chicken with just cars or crap just won't give them that high anymor, so now they're to using the most powerful nation (no not china) in the world's economy as the collateral damage.

You may have noticed that I won't maintain neutrality at all like good bloggists do.  BECAUSE NO ONE CAN STOP ME!

so... here goes:
abortion is necessary and should be free, religion should be taxed normally like businesses, stem cell research should be unrestricted, gays should be given legal marital status federally! hmm.. what else?  oh yeah... Taxes should be raised until the federal government gets an annual surplus instead of deficit!
