So as detailed in my Gintama 325 translation. (I know you all read Gintama, since it's the most epic thing ever.) I'm not being fair to you, the fans by having a bunch of stuff I say i'll translate, and I'm not being fair to myself by having a bunch of stuff to do when I know I don't have the time. So, let's play a little game of survivor shall we?

First off

Gintama
Hajimete no Aku
Appearance of the Yellow Dragon!

Are pretty much safe. As much as Gintama makes me want to choke Sorachi every week, it's what people know me for. I get the idea that I wouldn't exist if I didn't translate Gintama, and existing is all I do these days. Aku is a matter of pride. I may be a whole month behind now, but I've still managed to slug through 80 chapters of that thing. Considering that I hate romance series, that's pretty impressive. Plus if it gets an anime, I want to be able to say that I was there from the beginning. Yellow dragon ended recently, although the artist himself makes it sound like he's just taking a vacation.... Anywho, I think I have maybe 3 or 4 chapters left. So I'm gonna try my best to finish those.

It's with sadness that I drop these though. I figure people knew I dropped a few of these, but I never made an official announcement.

Gekka Bijin.
UNDEAD.
Neko Wappa.

I really really REALLY can't stand the fact that I have to let Bijin go. There's another translator doing it, but he doesn't translate side text or chapter titles. That irks me, but I'm not awesome enough to say something like 'I'm a better translator, so I'll do it anyway'. I'm five chapters behind, and barely able to keep up with my weekly stuff though. It's ironic that I had to drop it after one chapter like Endou's other work 'Tista' but...but....dammit, I'm gonna cry. Let's move on. Undead's raws ARE dead, and I'm thinking no one cares if I do Wappa or not.

Now, these I'm gonna get to, hopefully this century.

Takkoku
Albatross
Traumeister.

I know Trau died a while back, but magicbulletgirl expressed interest in continuing it. I gotta get back in contact with her....And Albatross is something I'd like to pursue. I've been reading Takkoku raws for a while now, and the series is getting really good. Plus Fukuchi is like my hero, so I have to find time to bust my ass and get caught up with it.

So the way it looks, Aku, Gintama and Yellow Dragon should start coming out regularly, along with Takkoku, now that I have raws again. Also, I will be translating Sorachi's one-shot next week, provided I can get raws. For now though, you should consider Aku, Gintama and Dragon my normal workload. Anything else will come on a 'Free time' basis.

Oh, before I forget, I may be doing random chapters of Seinen to see if I've got what it takes. Please cheer me on. ^_^
