Aventurier ~Shinyaku Arsène Lupin~ chapter 4

After more months of guilt tripping over my non-existent schedule, I ended up coming to Germany with a scholarship. While there, I bought most of the missing volumes of Aventurier, namely volumes 3 and 5 of the first manga and volumes 1 to 3 of Kaitou Lupin-den Aventurier, the manga that's been released following the cancellation of the first one. As it stands, all I'm missing is volume 4 of the original release, but that will be coming with my second order from YesAsia. Incidentally, there's been a new 2-volume release called Kaitou Lupin-den Aventurier: Toujouhen, which I've also ordered. It seems it's nothing more than a reissue of the 5 volumes of the first manga, with a few bonuses.

But yeah, now that I actually have the means to fully translate this, I've decided to get back to translating this manga. Here is chapter 4.

Souten Kouro chapter 61

There you have it, the final chapter of volume 5. The irony was that the script had been done for well over a week, but I couldn't find the time to do the editing.

Souten Kouro chapter 59

That's right, the second update in a row. Yesterday's chapter had been half-done since 2012, but I started working on this one today. The next few chapters will be battle-heavy, so they should go a bit faster.

Here's the link. 

Also, after asking the ever nice gentlemen of /a/, I finally switched to png. After a little more tinkering, file sizes should be lower than before.

Souten Kouro chapter 58 (and minor Aventurier news)

Finally, the much-awaited continuation to Souten Kouro!

Okay, I should have finished this chapter much, much faster, but shit happened. Shit will probably keep happening, but I want to see how this manga ends, and it's too hard to just read leisurely.

Here you go!

Also, the last few pages have one long war cry, which I left untranslated.


As for Aventurier, I won't resume work on it until I can at least buy the damned thing. First manga had 5 volumes before getting cancelled, then it got serialized in a different magazine, where it's still being released. Sadly, raws are incredibly hard to find. There was a raw for the first volume of the new manga, but it got taken down, and there's the occasional chapter raw, but nobody really cares about this manga. This is why I'll buy it myself when I go to Germany, where I'll have enough personal funds to afford ordering from Japan. That will be starting with October. Granted, this means I will be translating at most, since I won't have any scanners per se.

P.S. As a final note. Even though this is a "group", it's still just me doing everything. It will stay that way, because I'm having too hard a time keeping my own schedule, let alone keeping anyone else's schedule. Being 25 is suffering.
