On the plus side, we have a new editor, so things should go reasonably faster from now on.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In these last two chapters of volume 6, a central character will meet his untimely end, while others will fatefully meet. Will any of them be relevant by the end of the manga? Read on.</span><br />

Nevertheless, the next batch, containing chapters 73 and 74, <i>will</i> finish this volume.</span><br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.mediafire.com/?8qwcs4t5eprg755"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Chapter 71 - The Birth of Diao Chan</span></a><br />
<a href="https://www.mediafire.com/?x6jb81jgh3khnzq"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Chapter 72 - The Herculean Youth Returns</span></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You will witness the debut of a fictional <i>femme fatale </i>and the return of a character who debuted back when Cao Cao was a kid. Yes, the man who did not know there is only one moon, the bell-dropping giant returns! As a side-note, his debut was in a chapter I scanlated around 5 years and 7 months ago. Yes, I am deeply ashamed of my awful scheduling.</span><br />

In the meantime, some good soul uploaded scans of all published volumes (i.e. the 5 volumes of <i>Aventurier ~Shinyaku Arsène Lupin~</i> and the current 4 volumes of <i>Kaitou Lupin-den ~Aventurier~</i>). At this point, all that's missing is the omake at the end of the two compilation volumes of the first manga. Since there's a lot of cultural tidbits in it (mostly Lupin giving an introduction to the <i>Belle Epoque</i>), I might translate it. Well, after I actually catch up with the manga proper.</span><br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.mediafire.com/?02bb1lcye6d4uls"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Chapter 5 - The Escape of Arsène Lupin (part 2) </span></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Look forward to the gripping conclusion of Lupin's grand escape from prison!</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also, as a side-note, Valenglay, the president of France in later books, makes a cameo in this chapter, even though this particular novel doesn't mention him at this point</span>. <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This doesn't mean that I won't take his scene out of context and turn him into a poster-boy for procrastination. Sorry, Valenglay. </span>Lion of Genesishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07208274120156257505noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423107749488057056.post-15586662316323333922015-09-06T19:47:00.002+03:002015-09-06T19:50:43.830+03:00Souten Kouro 69 and 70<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Two more chapters from volume 6, four left until we finish one sixth of this manga.</span></span><br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.mediafire.com/?s8cvvwj3ao7o8i1"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Chapter 69 - The Five-Colored Dragon</span></span></a><br />
<a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?kuwwt59v1jaqd"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Chapter 70 - Guo Jia and Xun Yu</span></span></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Still, a round number is a round number, so let's take a moment to remember the fun times of the previous "five-colored" chapter, "The Five-Colored Rod".</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">As you may have guessed, I'm looking for a typesetter/redrawer. The raws themselves are gorgeous, all that needs to be done is to replace the Japanese text with the translation, which sometimes involves redrawing backgrounds. Whoever's interested should leave a comment. </span>Lion of Genesishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07208274120156257505noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423107749488057056.post-19065735119593159692014-11-17T10:09:00.000+02:002014-11-17T10:16:47.831+02:00Aventurier ~Shinyaku Arsène Lupin~ chapter 4After 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 <i>Aventurier</i>, namely volumes 3 and 5 of the first manga and volumes 1 to 3 of <i>Kaitou Lupin-den Aventurier</i>, 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 <i>Kaitou Lupin-den Aventurier: Toujouhen</i>, 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.<br />
<br />
But yeah, now that I actually have the means to fully translate this, I've decided to get back to translating this manga. <a href="https://www.mediafire.com/?jm1umih715bsj0j" target="_blank">Here</a> is chapter 4.Lion of Genesishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07208274120156257505noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423107749488057056.post-63986890877038295662014-07-12T13:44:00.001+03:002014-07-12T13:44:06.237+03:00Souten Kouro chapter 61<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There you have it, the final chapter of volume 5.

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.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">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.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><a href="https://www.mediafire.com/?w06q6er9b67g2c9" target="_blank">Here you go!</a> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Also, the last few pages have one long war cry, which I left untranslated.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">As for <i>Aventurier</i>, 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 <i>at most</i>, since I won't have any scanners per se.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">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.</span>Lion of Genesishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07208274120156257505noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423107749488057056.post-88465829816106366472013-03-20T11:26:00.003+02:002013-03-20T11:26:38.945+02:00Souten Kouro links<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Where do I begin...?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Well, as you might recall, I scanlated some chapters of <i>Souten Kouro</i> while I was in France. Sadly, I only had a bad internet connection in the dorm, while every other university connection</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> outright banned Mediafire on account of it not being educational. As such, I had only managed to upload one or two chapters, leaving eight others only on Mangafox (which wasn't banned... huh).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here they are:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?cc3cd655u5k3szq" target="_blank">Chapter 49</a> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?5if39qa9cim5xe1" target="_blank">Chapter 52</a> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?3neloijm104aa4d" target="_blank">Chapter 53</a> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?z32nca8a6cx8odp" target="_blank">Chapter 54</a> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?coj57o0mep4menw" target="_blank">Chapter 55</a> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?l8fur3t8tcbd2bv" target="_blank">Chapter 56</a> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?11qavtlxi7v99nb" target="_blank">Chapter 57</a> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also, in case you missed any previous chapter, please bookmark this (if it actually does lead to the <i>Souten Kouro</i> folder): <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/#kuwwt59v1jaqd">http://www.mediafire.com/#kuwwt59v1jaqd</a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'll be working on chapter 58 of <i>Souten Kouro</i>, then on chapter 4 of <i>Aventurier</i>, unless I get addicted to <i>Souten Kouro </i>again. </span><br />

<a href="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?3co4sal7rd2phms" target="_blank">Here is chapter 3 of <i>Aventurier</i>.</a></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
This (almost) concludes the second chapter of the original novel. Note that, with very minor exceptions, the dialogue was taken word-for-word from the source material. In fact, it's closer to Leblanc's text than the English translation is. That being said, it's a nice-sounding translation, so I used it as much as possible. </div>

... I'm really sorry, I completely forgot about the lack of links. As such, I've started uploading the chapters I did in the last few months while on a godawful connection. The first one I've finished is Aventurier chapter 2. That's also because I'm currently working on chapter 3.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Also, in other news, <i>Aventurier</i> <a href="http://blog.livedoor.jp/qmanews/archives/51999546.html" target="_blank">got cancelled</a> and stopped running in Evening after gathering five volumes. The author was very sad that he wasn't able to get to the better Lupin stories and hoped he would be able to continue the manga some other time...</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
...Which happened in <a href="http://www.heros-web.com/works/aventurier.html" target="_blank">this month's</a> issue of Gekkan Heroes. The manga is now called "Kaitou Lupin-den Aventurier" and will be continuing, hopefully, for a longer time. There's also a raw scan for this new first chapter, so I might be doing that after I finish the first two volumes.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>

I haven't started working on 57, but it could be done by Friday at most. As a reminder, there will be less chapters on Monday, mainly because most of my weekend will be spent at the anime convention here. That being said, I think volume 5 will be complete by the end of October. Please look forward to it!</span><br />

For one thing, chapter 2 of <i>Aventurier</i> and chapters 46-48 of <i>Souten Kouro</i> are done.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Problem is that I'm currently in France, in Dijon, and my internet connection is either completely crap (like the one in my dorm) or filters a lot of sites, including Mediafire and Imgur, because it's a university connection. Mangaupdates are a no-go as well, but Manga Fox seems to be A-OK. As such, I will be posting new updates to Manga Fox as a priority, but if my dorm connection happens to work on certain days, I might manage to upload some of the chapters to Mediafire as well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As for <i>Souten Kouro</i>, it occurred to me that, after all my delays, I've only just finished volume 4. As such, I will try to release either entire volumes or at least half-volumes. Taking breaks isn't a very good idea, because I keep forgetting what terms I used for this or that.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, in short, both scanlation projects are alive and well, but they will be available on online manga readers first and only then as direct downloads, most likely during week-ends. Either way, whenever a chapter (or group of chapters) is first released, there will be a new blog post announcing it.</span>Lion of Genesishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07208274120156257505noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423107749488057056.post-34965820581974657972012-08-02T19:48:00.000+03:002012-08-02T19:56:51.798+03:00Aventurier ~Shinyaku Arsène Lupin~ chapter 1<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
What's this? A new series? Don't I have enough work with Souten Kouro?</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Actually, this is one manga I've been looking for. I tried finding raws in January, but couldn't find more than scans for one of the magazine's issues. Now, however, I've just found out that someone uploaded the first two volumes (the fourth is being released in two weeks or so). As such, I decided to pick it up.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
So, let's quote the description on Mangaupdates:</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
The continuing adventures of classic Arsène Lupin character created by Maurice Leblanc.<br />
The
manga adapts Maurice Leblanc's novels about a gentleman thief who
solves cases while outwitting both the police and criminals. The first
chapter of the manga retells the first short story Leblanc published,
"The Arrest of Arsène Lupin" (1905).<br />
Lupin is a Gentleman Thief and a master on disguise, during the Belle Époque years</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
So yeah, this actually takes lines from the novels. As such, I decided to use the translation that's in the public domain, especially since it <i>sounds</i> like it's from that time. I did check the French version and, occasionally, the English translation changes some things - these changes are not to be found in Morita's manga. Naturally, there are quite a few lines that weren't in the novel, but I hope the difference won't be too noticeable. Also, even though he uses -san, I will consistently use "monsieur" and "mademoiselle", unless the French version uses words like "Miss" or "Lady".</div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As such, <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?830va3aa6ac1o4g" target="_blank">here's a link to volume 1</a>, containing all its chapters, as well as the volume cover and the description (which I translated).

I won't delete the old links before I have confirmation that the volume release doesn't have outdated or missing pages. </span>Lion of Genesishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07208274120156257505noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423107749488057056.post-70046181753418695012012-06-13T03:32:00.003+03:002012-06-13T03:32:51.061+03:00Souten Kouro chapter 44<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And this concludes all completely translated scripts I had around New Year's Eve. Since I have exams, it is highly unlikely that I should finish chapter 45. If I do, all the better.</span><br />
