Hey Akari, would you be interested in translating this oneshot? [http://www.mediafire.com/?ol0zzwyyydd] If yes, I will upload it on the site.

And something else, maybe it could be of help to you in the future [http://mangahelpers.com/news/details/316].

An unknown Kurogane Ken oneshot? (at least to me...)
Nice find!

Pinsel said...

According to Akari it isn't that good of a story, so I won't be scanlating it. But maybe you want to do it if you can persuade Zenigame to translate it?

Dolor said...

I've skimmed through the raw and it seems quite dialogue heavy with no...*uhum*..."action" whatsoever. I'll see if either Yuriko or Zenigame are interested in translating this.
In the meantime I'll be waiting patiently for the scanlations of i.d.

Yes. While not quite Octave, it's fairly good and something we could do.

And here's the script for the story in the 'Ane ni wa Zettai Kanawanai ch08 [Oneshot]' post:

This was her second story [http://homepage3.nifty.com/h-akiyama/profile.html] afterwich she made Octave. I do have her most recent oneshot from 2009 (called 桃色自転車) but from what I can tell it doesn't have yuri.

Thanks for the tower oneshot translation, I'm working on it as we speak. I was wondering what tower had to say about this oneshot on page 169. If it's interesting I could do something like this with it [http://img158.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=07465_169f_123_1117lo.jpg#].

It's not. It's the usual kind of afterword rambling and doesn't really add to the story. He says it was his debut work from around '97, goes on about how bad he was back then but still gave it his all, how happy he is that this volume came out and promises to work hard and do his best in the future as well. That's mostly it. And the drawing is of a single girl instead of something more yuri flavored. Not worth it.

Pinsel said...

No, that doesn't sound that interesting haha.

I've uploaded "poison mind" on mediafire in the usual place for QC. I don't think I'll have time to reedit stuff tonight if necessary so that will have to wait for tomorrow.

Today I've received my copy of i.d. which although it is a super awesome story, it's probably not something I'm going to scanlate. Maybe I'm going to dedicate a whole post on it tomorrow.

It looks fine and could be released like this. But since you finished it so quickly, I wonder whether you would like to do a bit of uncensoring since the masks are shaded rather than solid, so the information is there and the need for redrawing should be minimal.

akari said...

Here's a rough sample of what I mean:

I've never done uncensoring before so it will prob look like crap but here goes, uncensored pages have been uploaded on mediafire. I've also included the creditpage and since I couldn't find a suitable picture I made something in the style Lililicious always does, but mine is less good offcourse lol.

akari said...

Thanks for doing it, Pinsel. That's pretty good, actually. Approved for release.

Pinsel said...

You're welcome! Okay, I will convert them to .png and release them.
