Found this one-shot on Neetsha last month. This is the first half, second half is about the same page count.

I'd been working on this for a while before I quit, and I still think it's worth releasing.

Might update every so often, but the chapters are all one page long, so there'll be no new blogposts probably until it's finished.

Original art and story by the talented Makoto-ji.

Tetsu goes legit

I realized it's been over a year since there's been anything posted here, so just a quick update.

Last year I reached out to some manga publishing companies to see if they were looking for translators, and one of them was kind enough to offer me contracts. I got something for 2 months the first time, right now I'm working on a 4 volume 4koma that'll last until the end of August.

I'd assumed these publishing companies hated scanlators - I remember once seeing an editor call someone out on twitter for listing their years of scanlation experience in their application for professional work (actually I think he compared it to shoplifting from a store, then trying to get a job there). I don't think you can blame scanlators for wanting to translate, distribute their stuff and get popular on the internet, any more than you can blame publishing companies for being companies and wanting to make money. There was never anything pure or noble about free scanlation work, and there's nothing evil in wanting to profit from the sale of manga.

I'm glad there are some companies that don't hate us, that genuinely seem like they're trying to get interesting manga into the hands of people who want printed versions, and money into the hands of manga-ka who are the ones working hardest for it. The manga I'm working on are interesting, and whether I'm paid for it or not, it's fun to be able to turn stuff from Japanese into English. It's pretty much all I'm good at.

TL;DR - Not closing the blog, not dead, got some paid translation work.

PS.
I have a script for Nekojiru Udon Volume 2 (Cat Soup) which is in limbo.
Editor has had it for over three years, and with Batoto down I don't even know how I'd contact her.
Email me if you're interested.

No need to hurry with the translation, but some kind of short update would be much appreciated, just so we know you didn't die or something in the past 2 months.

Well, er, yeah. Sorry.

The TL was done in early December, then I did most of the editing... then before Christmas I passed it on to someone else to finish the editing and QC, and I'm just waiting on that.

If it's any consolation, the second job I'm working involves contacting Japanese artists to give them a chance to release their work in the US and abroad.
Unfortunate consequence being that from now on I'll be working with anything between 3~10 artists at a time, translating and writing long email chains about contracts and shit like that.
It hasn't left me with much motivation to scanlate, even if the work remaining on Rezu ch5 was only 8-10 hours or so.

EDIT:
Umm... I just want to ask... It's seems that "The Private Report" manga got some kind of sequel... Are you going to translate it as well?

No, but I am going to buy it - you should too.

Is there a donation link somewhere so I can help you with covering bills if it means you'll have more time to translate? I'd personally be willing to if you picked up jinsei mmo for translations again.
Nah, sorry ☃

Anyway, that's the update, sorry it's not a new chapter \m/

Happy new year,
~Tetsu

UPDATE: Rezu and PSA

I'm still getting more traffic than usual here, and I assume it's all about Rezu.

Yes, I know it's been licensed.
Yes, I'm still going to finish it.
I'll be working on it tonight for a few hours, but don't expect anything soon.

Again, Tetsu-scans is just one guy, who's also now working two jobs for some reason ^^

PSA: Please read Tokkaten.

In the meantime I guess you came here for manga.

You should read Tokkaten.

It's a brilliant collection of one-shots spanning the career of 'I Am a Hero' and 'Boys on the Run' author Hanazawa Kengo.
I worked on it through 2015, and for some reason nobody cared about it back then, but I really think it's worth your time.
