I can't read, write or speak Japanese particularly well and I'm a one-man-band operation here so that limits me somewhat in my choices of what to scanlate. I've done several volumes of "Family Compo" by Tsukasa Hojo, using the French editions to translate from as my knowledge of French is a lot better than my Japanese. Another group, SCX-Scans has started scanlating Family Compo from where I left off, and because of this I am going to stop doing this particular series.
Other stuff I've been doing recently includes scanning and translating unpublished works (omakes and 4koma comics, usually) from the Aria mangas and other Aria publications by Amano Kozue
I release stuff I do mostly through BitTorrent. I'm using a free 4share account to allow HTTP downloads as well.
17 March 2009 -- I have just released a compilation .zip file of three omake "Special Navigation" chapters I scanlated from the manga/anime series Aria. These chapters are from the Perfect Guide Books accompanying the three anime series (The Animation, The Natural and the Origination). You can find a link to a direct download here.
11 May 2008 -- The big news is that another group, SCX-Scans has started scanlating Family Compo. Because of this I am going to stop doing this particular series. In other news I have just released a short manga I scanlated, from the manga/anime series Aria. This chapter is from the Perfect Guide Book accompanying the anime. You will also be able to find it on my 4shared account in this folder.
29 February 2008 -- Second chapter of volume 07, Day 044 is now available via BitTorrent as well as in my 4shared folder for HTTP download. My family_compo blog contains more information about this chapter, including a spoiler synopsis.
02 February 2008 -- The link to my 4shared folder for HTTP download via Web browser has been updated and the old link no longer works. Work is progressing on chapter 44, but no ETA for release. My family_compo blog will be updated more often than this Webpage from now on.
29 January 2008 -- First chapter of volume 07, Day 043 is now available via BitTorrent as well as in my 4shared folder for HTTP download.
06 January 2008 -- I'm working away at chapter 43 but illness and the holiday season has slowed me down. In other news, I have a blog that I'll be using in future to provide news about my scanlation project and to give readers a chance to comment and discuss the series.
10 October 2007 -- I've now finished cleaning the first chapter of volume 7, Day 43. I've tidied up my releases of volumes 4 and 5 into single torrents and retired the old individual single-chapter torrents I was supporting previously. See the section below for the revised torrents.
In addition here is a torrent for a series of six short omake episodes from the anime series ToHeart. They are low-quality, digitised from videotape but better than nothing. Thanks to Shez for the raws.
