Update

So, relatively bad news time.

My primary laptop's power cord broke Tuesday night after I got to a hotel after work that day. This means any and all of the files I had solely on that laptop, I have no access to currently. It's not too much of an issue, since I can just redownload the cleans or raws, but it means that any work I did on those, I have to completely redo and then have the work finished up.

The biggest two breaks in this thing is that I had another laptop available for use, which I was in the process of setting up so that I could use both simultaneously for scanlation, to help speed up work progress on stuff, and that most of the stuff I use for scanlation is on my external harddrive. Though the space on that harddrive is rather limited since it's very old, which is why everything wasn't on there.

Regardless, this is a serious setback, largely because I do not have Photoshop, or any image editing program aside from Paint installed on this computer. Not only leaving me without any way to typeset or redraw, but cleaning as well as I currently have none of my actions that I use for cleaning.

Combined with the fact that I have to redownload a considerable amount of things, including Photoshop, this is going to take days for me to be able to get back into any sort of working order, as the internet I currently have is not fast by any means.

My primary laptop will be out of commission until I am able to purchase a new power cord ($15 online, $55 in a store), and I have no idea when I will have any money to spare.

Now, for a little bit of good news. Demo has translated up to the latest chapter of Yumekuri, 13. He has also translated chapter 7 of Billionaire Girl, and as he's caught up on Yumekuri, he will now be starting on catching up on the translations of Sexual Hunter Riot, Kigurumi, and Itoshi no Karin. He's also expressed interest in doing hentai translations for us, so RZK H may not be a dead idea after all. Alongside all that, chapters 19-20 of Sore ga Kanojo no Seigi nara, and 24-27 of Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge have all been typeset due to an apparent beast mode Jidan put himself in, just running through everything available in a rather short time span.

    1. I'm not entirely sure what makes you think your complaint is even remotely appropriate given that we're short-staffed, putting our time (and money, in case you forgot that manga in Japanese isn't free) into this at no expense to you.

      If you're looking for a place to gripe for no reason, I hear 4chan has an opening.

      So yes, we are amateurs. Problem?
