Swordmaster Gaito: Final Chapter

I had to resize this to 200% so I could typeset legibly.

Plot Synopsis: After the demon lord Beelzesaki kidnaps Rinkai's coach and forces her to perform hellish labor while being fed only one rice ball a day, Swordmaster Gaito leaves on a quest to rescue her. In order to do so, she must defeat the Elite Four to open the gates to Beelzesaki's Demon Hall, and find the Plot Armor of the Protagonist, an artifact necessary to defeat Beelzesaki. Also, there is foreshadowing that Teru Miyanaga has a long-lost little sister, who has yet to appear. After a long journey, Gaito confronts "The Angel" Arakahwa of the Elite Four, who is famed for being so tough that she must be ronned ten times before she dies. After a disastrous run, Swordmaster Gaito is wrapped up in this three-page final chapter before being cancelled.

The Red Devil (Rebellion spoilers)

Another pixiv comic.

Artist: Kyukyutto

Yonko☆Magika: Returnee Girl Madoka☆Kaname (Rebellion Spoilers)

Just something I did out of boredom. I feel like the humor of Madoka speaking mostly/entirely in Engrish is kind of lost when you translate all the dialogue into English, though.

Artist: Akira Yuuki

Happy Birthday!

God bless Shiraitodai. God bless Daxing Dan.

TL Note: I'm not sure about a lot of this stuff. In fact, I'm incredibly unsure about what パブ絵 actually is.
---
As requested, I've made some more signboards!

As always, I don't have much stuff to draw that's not work-related, so included here ↓ are a few things I've scribbled on Square Enix's whiteboards.

I've made a new page for the heights and birthdays →■

Also, here are a few questions in my mail that I think I can answer.

Personally, I'm fine with doujins and itasha. In fact, I'm grateful for them.
But I'm not sure how Square Enix would feel.

There's a question about Eisui, the answer to which I'll draw in the manga sooner or later. I think.
Everyone at Shiraitodai has their own rooms, and are free to return to their homes whenever they like.
Rinkai has no other exchange students.

I won't answer any questions about later developments, but I'd like keep working up to the individuals and what happens after what happens after that.

As it stands, Shinohayu will stay focused on the elementary schoolers for four volumes and then some. I'm sorry to those who were anticipating the inter-highs. I'd like to have like 100 volumes covering the elementary and middle school years, but that would get cut.

I once wanted to draw fantasy or sci-fi, but now, it takes more effort and skill than I have, and I'm not very motivated to do it. I'd been asked to draw a sequel to one of my past series after its short run finished, and I'd refused, having realized the limitations of my own abilities. The consumers might ask for those sorts of genres from time to time, but it'd be tough having to draw pub art and the like... I just can't do it!

↓ I'd left a scribble in the corner, and came back the next day to find someone made a garland out of the magnets

Oh, and I meant that I did track.

↑ A post-it that I made just to be sure when I was storyboarding the captains' match.

PS!
The Achiga Children's Mahjong Club members' heights were as they were when they first appeared, so I've corrected that.

People keep pointing this stuff out in my mail,
so I'll come fix it when necessary...

The Vernal Mahjong Story of an Old Promise: Shinohayu: The Dawn of Age: Chapter 3: Shino ③

This time, the scans are 1080 px tall. If this keeps up, I'll eventually be reduced to scanlating off cellphone photos or something. Also, page 164 in the magazine wasn't included in the scans I found. I hope nothing important was on there.

Shinohayu Chapter 2: Shino②

Unfortunately, the only scans I can find are a mere 1200px tall. Anyway, go ahead and leave any feedback you feel like sharing in the comments!

Also, Ritz made a post on her blog about the typos in chapter 1:
相変わらずのミス告知なのですが冒頭で慕さんが和了ってるのタンヤオついてなくて点数違います。あと閑無さんと学年を言い合うところも１学年下になっちゃってます。コミックスでセリフなおします。ホントすみません。

"This is yet another typo announcement, but in the beginning, Shino's win doesn't have tan'yao, so the score is wrong. Also, she suddenly drops one school year when she's talking with Kanna. Her lines will be corrected in the volume release. I'm very sorry."

Remember, No Chinese: Side Story of Saki: Shinohayu: The Dawn of Age: Chapter 1: Version 2: Shino

Having just received word that I'm somehow the only source for English translations for Shinohayu, I guess I should act a bit more responsibly with the translation. So, here's Shinohayu Chapter 1, with a few typos corrected, a few lines rewritten, and hopefully everyone's names written with Japanese pronunciations.

Volume extras from Azhihe Volume 5, and Xiao Volume 11

I don't think anyone else has translated these yet, so here I go. Unfortunately, the there don't seem to be any high resolution scans for the Achiga one, so I had to make do with what I could find.

Ritz: Azhihe-Bian: Episode of Side A

A oneshot by Hideki Ohwada, author of Legend of Koizumi, about Ritz. I don't think anyone else translated this, but it's already a few weeks old, so who knows?.

Azhihe: Final Chapter

The end is here.

I've also moved the volume-only extras to their own separate zip here:

Hope you enjoy!

UPDATE:
It has come to my attention that there have been allegations that I translate from Japanese to Chinese to English. These accusations are false. I always translate from the Japanese raws in order to preserve my high standards of quality.

First Release: Azhihe Side Ch. 19
