... and other issues.

It couldn't have happened at a worst moment.

Dirty Translated Mangas (DTM) site was, for whatever the reason may be, removed. Luckily, their top-knotch webmaster, kenzo_warrior, had a backup, so now the site can be reached here. I'm not sure what kenzo and the rest of DTMs team have planned (I didn't read their blog thoroughly... shame on me!), but they're working on it!

Other minor news... Now that I'm here: I've been have been having problems with Thumblogger's message system (I know... it's me, not them... I've also been having a hard time putting up their simple Private Message link!). I had initiated a private message link to DTM's old site... especially since I'm a guest member of the group... but then their site went down. In a panic, I set up a message link via Akiba Online just yesterday.

So now that the dust has settled somewhat, I now have it set for visitors to PM me at both Akiba Online (my main PM link for now) and DTM's new site. If you ever visit any of my other "hangouts" (see sidebar), you can actually PM me at those sites as well (where available). Whenever I work out the kinks (ie. "get used to using the bloody blog tools!" ) in Thumblogger, I may eventually keep all messages on site.

I just finished my part (4 chapters plus an extra story) of Akiba-Online's scanslation project: Moku Ujiie's Rori-Ana: A Little Anal Collection.

This last translation/edit I did is a full-color short featured in the December 2006 issue of Comic LO entitled "Super Sentou". It's not part of Moku Ujiie's manga. Chompy thought it would be nice to have as a bonus, so he kindly "hinted" the idea of having me translate and edit it. It had a lot a cute lolis and was an editing challenge, so I gladly accepted the task.

Although this one was fun to translate and edit, it proved to be a real challenge for numerous reasons: Medium-low quality raw scan... lots of pixilations; transluscent balloons, lots of SFXs over the drawings, subtle gradient changes in color... All considering, 'tho, I think this may be my best edit yet!

If you want to see this and the other stories I worked on , go to Akiba Online and beg Chompy for it. It's his project. I'm just helping.
