Heya, my name's Deathy80, and I'm a big manga fan (can't stop reading!), so since i had tons of free time on my hands, i thought 'hey, let's get photoshop and join the scanlation scene!' and here i am, a couple of months months later, and alot of hours editing further.
Until now i really only edited for groups, so i didn't need my own webpage to bring the releases, but a while ago i started some new projects by myself, so thought it was about time to make a blog to post my releases on ^.^. My releases up to now only got uploaded to Mangafox, and i won't stop doing that, but making a blog has it own advantages (like posting download links and updating the chapters to mangaupdates.com). I'm currently helping out on a few projects, Yureka is one of them, and although it's not a project i do by myself, i thought i'd post it on the blog aswell.
I got started on the Yureka Project i think around june/july 2009, it was when i found the manga, and started reading it on mangafox. I instantly loved the manga, and wanted to continue reading it...but BAM, there were like 25 missing chapters in between (chapters 45-70 were missing, while 71-90 were already done), and so i couldn't continue reading *sob sob*. The next day i found out that Tokyopop had translated till volume 12(chapter 75) in english...and so i ordered the books right away. The books arrived like 3 days later and i could continue reading *yay!*.
Some time passed and i saw more and more comments of how people wanted to continue reading but couldn't because of the chapter gap, thus i decided to start filling in those gaps. I think it took me like 3 months, but the gaps were filled, and Yureka was complete till like chapter 90.
The new chapters were being translated by Shadowfox5613, under the name 13, and he was and still is doing a great job. So...not long after i finished filling the chapter gap, Super_gui_1 appeared, saying he wanted to help translating the manga, and thus i approached him saying i'd do the editing/qc'ing. Gui and me started releasing chapters, and together with shadow we were releasing quite fast. A few weeks later Tsin0125 joined us aswell, and he's now helping out a ton with the editing ^^.
Eventhough we are a small team of 4 guys, we didn't make a site, and just kept releasing on mangafox, and talked on those forums. We're still gonna use those forums to talk etc, but i'll start hosting download links on this blog, so even those who don't visit mangafox can follow the manga.
We're at the end of volume 19 (chapter 117) now, and going steadily towards volume 32, so keep an eye out for our weekly releases!
That was Yureka, now about my other project --> HayatexBlade.
I found the HayatexBlade manga on mangafox aswell, started reading it, loved it from the first chapter. The only downside was the small amount of translated chapters (only chapters 1-8 were translated back then). I saw Seven Seas had translated books till volume 4 already, and so i bought those right away and continued reading. After reading till the end of volume 4 i still loved it and wanted moar!! I thought 'this manga deserves to be read by more people!', and since i still had free time on my hands every now and then, and NCIS was releasing HxB at a really slow speed, I started editing and releasing chapters on mangafox.
I've now released chapters 10-16, and by christmas 2009 i'll release till chapter 25 (the end of volume 4). Volume 5 hits the stores in december, and I'll edit that one in january 2010 ^^. Volume 6 is currently set on being released april 2010, and i'll also be editing and releasing that one when it's out.
Well, that was about my introduction =p
I'll be releasing both the Yureka and HayatexBlade chapters on the blog, to discuss stuff about the shows, just go to the mangafox forums of those series, and i'll be around there somewhere =p.
