Something's shiny in the IRC room for your Marimite-lovers.
Extreme hiatus, everyone. Sorry. I'm going to do everything I can to resuscitate and finish Shoujo Sect. It's been hard going. I appreciate everyone's understanding on this matter.
Spring cleaning is go: all Kannazuki is off the site, and HxB will remain on direct download til around August or so, as Seven Seas has a release date scheduled in October.
Okay, kids. I'm needing some hard-working, perfectionist photoshop editors. Secondly, if you have at least passable skill in translating (doesn't have to be perfect, that's what we have the more experienced translators go over it for...) and are interested in translating a project as part of our Translation Team, please also visit us at #otenba@irc.rizon.net. You can speak either to me, Sumiregawa-kun (aka Hitsugi), regarding photoshop work or to Shouko (aka Kanu) regarding translation work. Please be patient; we both have work and/or school schedules to work around, so understand that initially it may be more of a 'tag' game.
There are tests involved for both positions. We look forward to meeting you all!
Two of our three manga projects in one hit? Ow.
With Tokyopop and Seven Seas announcing Kannazuki no Miko and Hayate Cross Blade respectively at San Diego Comic Con, we'll be dropping both projects. I know, I was looking forward to finally completing KnM too. Anyway, please buy them from Tokyopop and Seven Seas when they're released! Especially HxB <3
As for Shoujo Sect, fear not, we're still working on it. Unfortunately, Sumi's computer has died on her so it'll be a little bit before we can release another chapter. Our apologies for that, but please be patient with us a while longer.
We're also interested in hearing what you all might be interested in us working on now that we're short on projects. Can't guarantee you we'll choose it, but we're definitely curious and up for your suggestions.
Yeah... about these releases. I have been saying we're always hiring translators, haven't I?
...that hasn't changed.
Little later than normal schedule, but you get a Version 2 of Chapter 1 out of it. Basically the differences are mostly consistency things. Oh, and the fact that yuujin => shinyuu. They're read the same in kanji really. Our bad for messing them up. I'm going to throw Version 2 directly out to http download to make up for it (after the donator period is over that is). Sry.
Otenba is proud to present volume 3 of Maria-sama ga Miteru's 3rd Season.
You can find it in the usual place.
And now, some poetry courtesy of Youko (the lililicious member, not the anime character):
As the Hanadera festival is drawing ever near,
Our fair heroine receives some news she didn't wish to hear.
It seems her popularity is greater than she thought,
And now someone is following her much more than she ought.
