Apologies

I'm not dead, I've just been on something of a forced hiatus.
Taking care of my grandmother - and dealing with the stupid things she does because of her 24-year-old cat (who has no teeth, yet refuses to eat the wet cat food), and because it's the way she's always done things, so of course it has to be the right way!  - has really become time-consuming.
Between that, being a regular blood plasma donor, various other things, and trying to keep a social life, I hardly have a minute to myself lately.
I'm not quitting the scanlating until and unless I go pro, though, so don't worry. If someone wants to pick up one of my projects, though, let me know so that I can take it off the list.

GaoGaiGar FINAL - Evoluder Guy, act 5 (complete)

In this, the final chapter of this five-part story, Shishiou Guy and Shuu have their decisive showdown, Alouette's loyalty comes into doubt, and the Fighting King of Braves, GaoFighGar, is born! ...but in whose hands?

Since this is the last chapter in the story, I've uploaded both a standalone version of Act 5 and an archive containing all five chapters.

Act 5:
RS | MF | MU

Full story:
RS | MF | MU

GaoGaiGar FINAL - Evoluder Guy, act 4

In which much exposition occurs, Hana is cute, Swan's hotness steals the show, and the GGG finally get a lead on their target.

Small addition

I've added a "Current Progress" notification box in the sidebar, so that I don't have to make a new post every time I want to let people know what I'm doing.

Currently, I've finished the script for Evoluder Guy ch.4, and am proceeding to the editing stage.

Status

April is the start of allergy season for me, it seems.

Pardon my slowness on translating Evoluder Guy chapter 4. My allergies are affecting my eyes quite badly, and it's making it hard to translate. I'm halfway through this chapter right now, though, and making steady progress. Please be patient with me.

GaoGaiGar FINAL - Evoluder Guy, act 3

Finished and ready to go!

GaoGaiGar FINAL - Evoluder Guy, act 2

Act 2 of GaoGaiGar Final is up.

In this chapter, we are introduced to Guy's cousin, Renais Cardiff-Shishioh. She and Guy track the signals of the new-model GaoMachines to Paris, France, where more battles await them.

Thanks to Akujiki for helping me read some of the kanji that the scans made fuzzy, and to Nanya for both requesting this project in the first place, and for working (unsuccessfully, sadly) to find better scans.

Grr.

No new release at the moment. As I expected, the LQ raws for the GGG manga are giving me headaches in trying to read some of the kanji.

Is there anyone, anywhere, who has a higher-quality set of raws I can use? This is really getting in the way of my productivity.

edit: Let me clarify - the raws I have are sized 827 x 1200. However, the scan quality is fuzzy and greyed-out a lot. It's not the picture resolution that's giving me headaches, but the picture quality.

Come, Spring!

Title: Haru yo, Koi! (Come, Spring!)
Author: Hot Dog Chuck
Series: Touhou Project

This is part of a series of related doujinshi penned by Hot Dog Chuck. In the previous chapter, Flower that Blooms in the Gap of the Heart, Yakumo Yukari started a relationship with Morichika Rinnosuke. However, getting involved with Yukari isn't the only tangle in Rinnosuke's life...

NOTE: There is some brief partial nudity in this one. Not enough that I feel it needs to be posted on my NSFW blog, but it is there. You have been warned.

I've been a mostly-quiet fan of Touhou for well over a year now, so - now that I feel my skills to be up to par - I'm quite glad I got the chance to work with the excellent folks at Magic Archive Voile on this. Special thanks go to all of those at Gaku-Touhou, but especially to Aratta~♪, the image-wizard who 'shopped in the text. I must aspire to the level of skill he displays.

GaoGaiGar FINAL - Evoluder Guy, act 1

This is a sidestory to the Super Robot anime series, GaoGaiGar. It's set in a time between the end of the original GaoGaiGar TV series and the beginning of the GaoGaiGar FINAL OVA series.

The first part of this manga has already been scanlated by someone else. It was a three-chapter story that dealt with some of Soldato J-002's backstory.

This part comes after that, and is a five-chapter story detailing Shishioh Guy's entanglement with the international crime syndicate known as BioNet. This is chapter 1 of 5, and I'll avoid detailing the events within for now. Read and find out!

I've had to use low quality images for this manga. There apparently aren't any HQ raws to be found, so I decided to work with what I had.

Enjoy!

Grand Opening, and some info

Hello, folks! My name is Strange Grey Cat. For those (likely most) who don't know of me, I've been a student of Japanese and a fan of manga in general for a long time. Within the last two years, I've been happily translating manga from Japanese into English.

Unfortunately (at least for some), nearly all of it has been demonstrably Not Safe For Work.

Thus, I've started this auxiliary blog to provide a way for readers to access the scanlations I work on without having to explain why said Less-Than-Worksafe material is staring them in the face.

I hope to be treated as kindly in the future as I have in the past.
