Ueno-san wa Bukiyou – COMPLETE
Dang. Somehow or other, we got there. All 101 chapters of Ueno-san wa Bukiyou are translated, and the manga is complete. Whew. So, obviously, there’s a good deal to unpack here on the other side of things. I’ll do my best not to forget anything, but forgive me in advance if it’s a little scrambled. It’s bad enough I haven’t posted anything to this blog for over a year to begin with. First order of business, Ueno-san itself. After over a year since the release of the concluding volumes 9 and 10 in May of 2022, I’ve translated every chapter […]

Okay, I totally forgot I had a scanlation blog. I mostly tweet if I have anything to say about manga. Sorry. Let’s see, where do I start? My “little break” in the post-Ueno world has been much longer than I expected. It turns out scanlating manga that isn’t Ueno-san is surprisingly different, and usually more labor-intensive (especially page counts). I do still think of myself as “working on” Karetto, but it’s so much more work than Ueno ever was that every time I think about getting after it, I end up doing something else instead. The fun-to-effort ratio is wacked […]
Read MoreUeno vol 8 batch
Never thought I’d make it here. Anyway, this is all the Ueno until volume 9 drops. That makes this the first time I can comfortably stop working on Ueno and find other projects to fool around with. Cool. Definitely hoping to kick Karetto into high gear after a short break from doing any translating. As always, find the links to available downloads on the Releases page. Peace.
Read MoreUeno vol 7 batch
Yo. For whatever reason, I didn’t make any updates for the entire duration spent working on volume 7, mostly because I find it hard to believe anybody who reads this manga doesn’t already follow it on MangaDex. There’s not much need to make blogposts when every time it’d go, “I finished this Ueno chapter. Up next is another Ueno chapter.” Volume 7’s finished now. You can find the link to download Ueno-san on the Releases page. Again, I encourage anyone out there to spread ’em around. Share the love. I have no intention of ever holding these releases hostage or […]
Read MoreUeno-san chapter 61, Uenobons completed
Hey, let’s make this quick. I got Ueno 61 uploaded last night because posting on Twitter or this blog about the Uenobon releases wasn’t reaching many ears, so now everyone should know. Which is good. Also, as of this post the downloads for both complete Uenobon anthologies are in the folder found on the Releases page. So, go get ’em if you want ’em. Peace.
Read MoreKaretto ch 2, more release downloads, and Ueno Month
Well, couple days ago I finally put out Karetto ch 2… after literally a year of time since ch 1. Glad it’s finally done, but I’m gonna try to do better next time. Chapter 3 won’t come during June, but I’m gonna prioritize it starting in July. As I’ve said a couple times in the past, once volume 1 is over, Karetto will be a lot more manageable, and something I’ll likely be able to release interchanged with Ueno releases. The chapters beginning in volume 2 are only about 12 or so pages. Also, another thing that had slipped my […]
Read MoreUeno-san chapter 60, vol 6 batch
Yo. I wanna play video games so this’ll be quick. Chapter 60’s up on MangaDex. If you’re reading this you probably came from there, though. You can find all Ueno-san downloads through the Releases page. I’m gonna hold off on working on volume 7 for just like… a bit. Probably get around to Uenobon 1 (the volume 6 special anthology) before any of that. And maybe even some other shit. Kinda feels like ages since I’ve worked on anything else, lol. Well, thanks for reading. Peace.
Read MoreNot dead 4
Sounds a little morbid using that title during this pandemic, but oh well. So, yeah. Despite that I’m totally fine so far and astonishingly little about my day to day lifestyle has been changed in the midst of this isolation stuff, my work flow has been totally shot in favor of playing video games all the time. As usual, my original plans didn’t really go as intended, and I didn’t end up finishing Ueno vol 6 before vol 7’s drop, but I’m sure it’ll be fine. Technically, I wanted to put off finishing some of the chapters because I have […]
Read MoreProjects update March 2020
Guess I’ve been forgetting to update this blog. Well, Ueno-san has been going well. I don’t think it’s worth at this point creating downloads for any of the interim chapters in volume 6, as I’m looking to finish the volume before March 27th (when volume 7 drops), despite that I’ll likely have to wait some time to actually acquire raws and begin working on the new chapters. I think having some time with no Ueno hanging over my head would be a good thing, because honestly, I’ve desperately wanted more time to work on other projects, namely Karetto. Everything else […]
Read MoreUeno-san chapter 51
Happy New Year! All right, with that out of the way, it’s back to work. MangaDex is offline at the time of this writing, so the chapter is available through the download folder like usual. I’ll be uploading it to MD whenever I get the chance. Have to wonder how many people will even end up noticing they can read it this way, though, lol. You should pretend you’re time travelers or something.
