M to N ch9 + new site!

Hello guys! JE is due for a new site, since I've finally gotten tired of Blogspot...we've renamed as well to JE Scanlations. Please visit us at our new home -- http://jelations.wordpress.com :)

And yes, there's a new release, with a new editor, Amanda. Please thank her for her wonderfully fast and awesome work -- I got this a few days ago and only just got around to QCing it, uguu. M to N chapter 9. Links at the new place!

MarioHolic Chapter 4 \o/

Today, I bring to you...a new chapter of a new manga? Why, you ask?
1. I still lack editors for GA. Result from previous recruiting drive: Marion to help translate M to N no Shouzou, Hazel to edit GA. Need more editors/translator people! No staff = no releases.
2. I'm tired of translating wine stuff. (read: Moyashimon)
3. I have someone who wanted to help me edit/help translate this one. (Thanks, dear. :))

It's called Maria+Holic, or Maria Holic, or Mariaholic. But I tend to typo it Marioholic for some reason. It's quirky, and quite funny, and reminds me slightly, just slightly of GA. (Is Kanako a bit like Mikan? XD) I think it was the 'dear mother in heaven' parts, and the being played tricks on. There were parts where Mikan wrote letters to her grandpa too. :)

MariaHolic is a funny romp around a girls' school, involving a trap, and a main character physically allergic to men. It comes out on anime next season (Winter; Jan 2009). Just...read it. Or look at the gallery if you want to give it a spin. The first three chapters are uncredited; I found it via a link on some forum I have forgotten. If you did these three chapters, please comment/email me with YOUR links and or site so I can credit you/modify this! I have since been told it was done via 4chan. -wry- I'm not sure if there's a specific person involved, so I'll just wait for more info. The mediafire link is included below, I mirrored it to df, and have also uploaded separate files for people who just wanna sample the first chapter/are missing a specific chapter.

NOTE: NO UPLOADING TO ONEMANGA. (because of stuff in the past) Any other sites, at least do the courtesy of mailing me. And yes, help is welcomed. Any form. Email me. Unnerstand? Goot.

But JE did chapter 4. :) Necroseer and I kinda split it between us; he has better Japanese so he helped me with weird trans, but it's his first time editing so it wasn't easy for him and I helped with editing. An awesome first try on his part, though. :)

Comment if you liked it/got it/want it/look forward to the anime; no comments = I vill get bored and do other stuff. :P

Moyashimon Ch62..

We are still looking for staff, specifically for M to N no Shouzou and Gakuen Alice -- hopefully experienced ones, because those aren't easy to edit or translate. Please email me - jennkei at gmail dot com - if you'd like to help. Thanksew.

No more full post thingo with the new template, but please do comment if you're getting the chapter. Please comment with specific blogspot templates to suggest (for this site), too...I'm really sick of the blogspot boring ole ones, but it's so annoying to modify. :(

Also...the individual files can be accessed online at the Moyashimon ch62 {JE} gallery. The interface is reasonably clean (box at left brings you to next or previous file), and it's pretty easy for me to upload there. If not enough people use it, I won't upload the next chapter there. XD

Recruiting editors/translators.

Alright, so I'm gonna be driving JE again after next week, but might as well give a week's advance notice...it's been a while since I've contacted the editors who helped in the past, but if any of you are still interested, please email me. (jennkei at gmail dot com) We're looking for..

2x editors, 1x translator (preferably Jap->Eng) for Gakuen Alice
1x editor for Moyashimon (JE is gonna do chapters 61-71, I believe.)
1x editor, 1x translator (preferably Jap->Eng) for M to N no Shouzou

Editors should be able to use Photoshop or whichever image editing program they like -- editing is NOT proofreading, it's cleaning the scans/putting the English text onto the scans. People with manga editing experience are more likely to be chosen, simply because it's easier for everyone involved. Please state which position you'd like to go for. I think at the moment we'll only accept one position per person, or I might get confused. XD

Re-release: Gakuen Alice Ch31~

Awright~~ Introducing one of our older releases, exactly...22 months ago. Wow. Has it been that long? XD Someone brought it to my attention that the raws we were working off of then were missing four pages, so I spot translated, and anonymous helped to edit. :) Please thank her!

GA Ch31: Depositfiles || Ziddu
I know I spelled GA (Gakeun Alice?!) wrong, but I just noticed, the horrors. T_T Ah well. Correct the typo yourselves, eh? XD

UPDATED - Double release- ch60+61

Gwargh. First up, sorry to my editors - Mel (chapter 60 is her first release, and an awesome one it is too, all hail Mel!) and Cilee. They sent me these chapters ~/> a month ago, and I've only got around to checking them. -_- I suck. T_T Yeah, uni stuff, takes backseat to GA, unfortunately.

Also, someone helpful but wishing to remain anon has brought my attention to some missing pages in one of our old, old releases...I've translated them, and said person has helped edit them. Unfortunately...I'm not sure where the file for that is, so I'll have to hunt around my email/hard drive. But I've not forgotten! (And your other mail too -- I've just been too busy, sorry again. T_T)

Since uni stuff is still ongoing, no more releases until at least mid-end Nov. But hey, at least double release this time, yea?! XD I'm not sure if I'm continuing GA, even...there're so many other people scanlating it now, it's kinda confusing. Maybe I'll just do Moyashimon since it's easier. XD And look for an editor for M to N. So...what do you guys think? GA will be fine without JE? :) Do comment.

Note: Ch60 was borked because I used Photoshop's batching thing and forgot about an extra file I had in the directory. Should be fine now!

GA Ch61: Depositfiles || Ziddu

A...what? Moyashimon ch61?!

Haha. First up, apologies to everyone who thought I'd updated super-super fast with another GA release. Alas! It's a different manga -- Moyashimon. I reassure you guys, though, GA chapters 60 and 61 are already at the editors'. You'll be gettin' 'em soon. :) Thanks to Necroseer and higuys for helping me with some spot translations! Also, my French geography and wine knowledge are both lacking, so if you find any mistakes...it's cos I suck. XD Raws were posted up by NFKira here, I tried to register on the page but it never sent me an activation mail. :( (I checked spam) So if you scanned this in and would like to be acknowledged, please comment here/email! Three comments, please, before next Moyashimon release.

I wanted to take a break, and it was either this or M to N no Shouzou. Unfortunately, M to N is as hard to edit as GA (Higuchi-sensei, doushite??) -- and I had Moyashimon lying around, PLUS it's super-easy to edit. Even a dunce like me can do it. ^^ Hell, even a dunce like me drugged up with painkillers (I'm hoping my wisdom tooth extractions heal up fast!) could do it quick.

I direct you over to Mangaupdate's page for more info regarding Moyashimon, a delightful story about microbes. You don't see that much in this chapter, though, unfortunately. Enjoy!

P.S. The random phrases at the side, like 'Misaki's hair is loooonng' and 'Feel the wind', were in the actual manga.
P.P.S I'm setting a three-comment thing like for GA at first, just to make sure people actually read this manga..XD If not, I'll go do something else.

Chapter 59, ohoho!

Man, just under two months since we've released. XD We're finally back! Not sure how fast releases will be cos I only have a month of hols, but we'll try, and ah well, 59 here! :) Included in this one is a coloured version of the chapter 59 cover page -- this is done by billwang (site is on the watermark on the page), not us. Yeah?And finally, on to the good stuffs.

Chapter 58 PLUS Omake!

Whew. Finally out. This took extra-long because for some reason I got half the files uncleaned. :/ And the font was a bit different so I had to make changes in the first half too...I don't know if Jacqueline sent me a batch of earlier work, but ah well. I changed 'em anyway. XD And we all know Jenn is slow at editing-type work, even if it's as simple (comparatively) as typesetting. XDThanks for waiting, guys. :) Just a warning - this 1.5 release will probably be last for a while until end of June, cos the dreaded E word is coming. :(
GA Ch58: Depositfiles || Ziddu

This is not a release. :/

Sigh. I didn't want to post this, but I guess if I'm only going to release early next week...:/

I have my hands full with two major midsem tests this Friday, so earliest possible release will probably be Sunday. Yeah? My sincerest apologies to the wonderful Joycelyn, who edited this chapter...and to anon, I'm glad they're out in your country. (In French, is it?) Support GA! :)

Last Release... (chapter 57)

My apologies for the sudden news, but Jenn and all the JE staff have simultaneously passed a very high-difficulty test and got accepted early to the Virgle expedition setting up a colony on Mars. I regret to inform you that the links that follow will be our last released chapter. Au revoir! Auf wiedersehen! Sayonara~! -teary-

GA Ch57: Depositfiles || Ziddu

Sigh, I can't believe people don't know about Virgle..XD Check out the link! :D

Chapter 56 - Hanazonokai.

Heh nearly forgot to release. :) I don't have much to say, except that Enthyme seems to be retiring. So I won't bug her for translations any more. Luzzy has been helping with translations, though, so thanks to her this release won't have the pesky Chinese->English thing. :) If you translate Jap or Chinese->Eng, have a good grasp of both languages, and would like to help JE, please contact me. Thanks. (jennkei at gmail dot com)
GA Ch56: Depositfiles || Ziddu
Since I'm here I might as well say...we are NEVAR gonna do 20-28. Stop asking us to, stop asking us when. The reason is simple. It's gonna be released in English in America, if not here, before chapter, say, 60-68 arrives. Why? Cos it's in an earlier volume. XD So we're going ahead. Hey, you should be happy we're even going ahead. XD

GA: Chapter 55! Overdue. :(

Sorry to my editors for my super-lag in doing stuff. T-T Blasted uni not giving me enough free time, sigh. I'm upping 55 first, and 56 soon after, so it'll hopefully be a delayed double release.

GA: Chapter 54~ Mochi!

Hey people, finally, chapter 54 done. Happy V Day to most of you, I reckon. :) Though it's already the 15th here. XD I have to apologise to Jacqueline for this one having such a long delay coming out. :/ Other than that, enjoy the release!
GA Ch54: Depositfiles || Ziddu

M to N no Shouzou v2 ch6

And a new release from a different place! Well, manga by Higuchi-sensei, in any case. Thanks to Luzzy for making this possible. It'll be a few days before I release chapter 54 for GA. XD It was just passed to me and I have to edit in a few more translations..sorry 'bout that, Jacqueline!!

Note: Volume one has been scanlated a while ago by Ephemeral Dreams. Please visit their forum/site/IRC to get it.

Chap 53 of volume 10, rumble~

Edit: Sorry, I just realised it sounded like we'd released the whole vol when I meant we'd started it. XD We're working on two chapters at the moment!! But the editors have taken a while with them..I guess they're busy too. :(

Hey guys. :) Haha like someone commented, it'd have been nice if this'd been released during the New Year's. That -is- what I had planned, and it -was- kinda ready, but I wanted to wait for the next translation to be completed. (That, and I admit I was lazy to QC it on New Year's. XD) In any case, you get it now. Pretty early! Just a lil' over a week since the last one, so enjoy.

Chapter 52!

Happy new year, everyone. :) To celebrate (kinda)...here's the last chapter of volume nine. Considering I'm QCing this in the wee hours of the morning...>.> Fell asleep over my keyboard a few times before I managed to finish. Sigh. We're glad to see the positiveness for M to N, though I notice several are concerned about speed. Ehehe. It won't be sacrificed, rest assured.

v9 Omake..

Hey guys, I wanted to release this with 52 but it seems we're a bit delayed with that. (Hope you're alright, Allie! Don't stress, ya.) So I'm releasing the omake first..it's short, but well..XD Thanks to Luzzy for helping to work on this. ^^ And sorry it took a while to get it up. XD (It was ready by the time 51 was released..XD)

By the way, I've been thinking on working on another of Higuchi-sensei's manga - M to N no Shouzou. What do you guys think? Wanna read that one? :P It's a pretty quirky manga, go check out a summary.

That said, merry christmas!

It'sa good day for..chapter 51~

Heyla people! Look out for an omake of this volume coming up, like I said, when net stabler..:)

DOUBLE RELEASE! Chapters 49 and 50.

Heyla everyone. It is the 22nd, and it is an auspicious day. (My favourite number, after all.) That's why we're (finally..) releasing. And it's a double! You guys might have heard there's some rather interesting interaction going on in these 63 pages of goodness. :P

Thank you to Kineta/Allie for working on Chapter 50, you're a gem. Thank you also to all those who offered to help. Because of spam in mail and other..stuff, we might have missed some people. Sorry about that. :/ All in all I'd say about twenty people mailed, but only seven replied with completed trials. :P

These include..
cecilian (cilee) pg 81-84
jacqueline pg 71-74
allie (kineta) pg 81-84 (doing ch50)
eve (yvonne jiang) pg 95-97
kelly (sparky336699) pg 98-100
melanie (corinna) pg 88-91
Chaeji: whose file format we couldn't read

We've tried to use as much work as we can from these contributions in our chapter 49, which is why the editing style might be a tad...uneven. XD Thank you to all these people, and also to all the GA fans out there still waiting. Patient bunch, most of you. :)

To those who aren't, away with you! And by the way, to German person, if you have uncomplimentary things to say about our releases, why, simple then, don't read them. I'll also have you know that just because people offer to help, it doesn't mean they necessarily pull through. Quite a few people had no idea what manga editing was about. Even though we tried to explain, it -is- easier for us to get someone who at least knows what he/she is doing. Just ask Enthyme. She's sent so many trials out, she couldn't really keep track of what'd gone where. Thank goodness for gmail search.

Alright, after that somewhat-rant...here are your precious links. :P
