Yea, let’s just pretend I didn’t say anything about releasing stuff back in March. I was busier than I thought I would have been. School kept me pretty well tied-up, but this time, my GPA actually reflects how hard I worked. I also spent the first week of summer break scoring standardized math tests from all over the nation. Let me tell you, nothing makes me worry about the state of our education system more than getting a stack of 500 tests from some school district in Ohio or Tennessee and seeing that only about 1 in 50 students have scores higher than 15/40 points. And then I spent the next 2 weeks of my summer break playing video games and watching Breaking Bad, which, by the way, is the best show on TV. Or maybe it isn’t; I don’t have a TV so I can only assume that Breaking Bad is the best. Mario Galaxy 2, Metal Gear Solid 4, Red Dead Redemption, and Ratchet&Clank Futre: Tools of Destruction are all amazing games that you can completely lose yourself in. Monster Hunter Tri is too, if you can get over the whole grindy aspect of it, as well as the unforgiving learning curve.
Anyway, Manga stuff. There isn’t much to say, really. It took me a while to get back in the translation groove, so 14 and the first half of 15 are pretty rough. I could have released them about a week ago but I started doing the typesetting and just remembered how much I hated doing the typesetting for this series, so I decided to finish 16 before I started on that. And yes, I know 17 has been posted. I have it ripped and My Bro Frank is cleaning it as I type this.
So now that Manga Helpers is dead, I can’t cross-post my stuff there. Since I want people to actually know when I release stuff, I went to Baka-Updates to update the series and saw that someone else has picked up my slack and already done the chapters I’m releasing right now, several months ago. I’m a little surprised that this series has enough of a following that someone else would pick it up, to be honest. I’ll keep doing Y-K because I like doing it. If Vexed wants to keep doing it, he’s welcome to. I always avoided using B-U because I find the data organization, layout, and method of updating to be convoluted and cumbersome, but I guess I have no choice now.
Anyway, with 14 done, that brings volume 3 to a close, I think. That means a whole-volume release. I really ought to just order the Tankubons that are out now to be sure of how the chapters are distributed. If I had a decent scanner, I’d order 2 copies of each and get raws out of the Joker series.
Oh, I didn’t translate the new title page because I didn’t feel like trying to make a coherent English sentence out of it. It’s something to the effect of ‘Yankee x Dere’ (delinquent and lovestruck) a sweet and cute love comedy’. That reminds me, either I’m getting bad at translating stuff or Shinobi is being a real dick and making up titles that make no fucking sense.
