I'm really hoping all these puzzle pieces connect to one another in the grand scheme because this Karras chapter left more questions than answers! At any rate, here's some more of the series for you Crossbone fans. Remember, these are stand-alone stories that don't (or shouldn't) spoil anything from other series that aren't out yet. They're just character backstories.

Whew! Lots to unpack in this chapter!
I'm not sure if I'm satisfied with Char's closing line in this chapter, but it'll do for the moment. May need to rethink it. I'm pretty sure you can tell what he's implying, but if not, let me know if I need to spell it out a bit better!

Chapter.04
Pass-Through Canal
"The way things are going, I'll end up hopelessly selfish. There's no guarantee I'll ever see Gigi again, and I've been cold to Keria."
Hathaway felt a heavy lump in his chest and felt he deserved it.
However, Hathaway believed.
To him, there was little doubt that he'd see Gigi Andalucia again, so, until that time, he could not afford to act rashly. Her beautiful yet captivating good looks and perso...

Well, it's finally here, the climactic ending to the ninth volume of Moon Gundam! Now that classes are done for the semester, I should be able to get the tenth volume out before the year is out. We'll be entering the Char arc of the story, so it'll be interesting to see how things play out! Thank you to everyone following along! I'll be making this available publically (well, releasing it through Twi...

Okay, I had to post this one a day early because I have a final due tomorrow, so naturally, I'm waiting until the last minute to finish it. I should have Volume.09 wrapped up this Friday! Since the consensus seems to want to see individual series finished first, I guess I'll try wrapping up Moon Gundam this month then. I think I'll then keep the individual Ace chapters listed here and only release th...

It seemed like the heavy winds would uproot all the palm trees across the island. The spray from the tide erupted from the shoreline, becoming a white curtain as it assailed the island.
Whump!
The heavy thuds of falling coconuts punctuated the raging storm.

The shout came from the youth Carre Haw,...

Hm... there are a couple of things that still don't sit right with me in terms of phrasing for some scenes. I'll likely fix them when I push out the volume release this month. I just can't think of any better way to phrase them (despite having translated it a while back). Ah, well. Enjoy!

Chapter.03
Valiant
As though it were escorting the Valiant that Hathaway Noa and the others were aboard, there was another ship. The Ceelack, an old mineral carrier that had been converted much like the Valiant had. Both ships sailed south in the Timor Sea along the Besar Islands.
This wasn't, of course, the extent of their support for the entire continent...

Chugging along with more Crossbone stuffs, I decided to have a little fun with some of the phrasings in this. You'll see some more circus-themed terminology in this, which I feel still keeps the spirit of the translation intact. And, yes, I did say "ovaries of steel" in one particular panel. For those curious, the term is 大胆 (daitan) which has any number of meanings depending on the context (i.e....

"A-ffranchi Chaaar!"
Everly Key's exploding voice, one that could be heard even in the most violent of storms, made its way to Affranchi's ears. Except they were in an inland sea, and it was a sunny day.
Her voice faded away like a flash between the sea and the atmosphere.
Hearing it, he swam in the direction of her voice, cutting through the water with overarm strokes.<...

Today's posting marks the final catchup of the Moon Gundam series. I was supposed to have volume nine out by summer's end, but considering the massive amount of manga dumping I did before classes started back up for the semester, I was just a wee bit burned out. Not gonna lie, that was an insane summer. At any rate, volume ten dropped at the end of October, so I'm not that far behind for once! Progre...

Keria Dace
The hot and humid air was suffocating, even with the door to the Valiant's cramped radio room kept open. The only audible sound was that of the waves lapping against the hull of the ship, as it was calm, and the direction of airflow was the same as the direction in which the ship was moving.
"How are things?"
Hathaway peeked in, w...

Here's another quick installment on the eve of more Hathaway's Flash! Let's see if the zip manages to attach this time (says it does but, hah!). Patreon has been weird about attaching zip files, so I'm not sure what's up with that. I'll link with a Mega link shortly if it doesn't.
Edit: Holy crow! It did! Success!

This isn't going to be a staple, but more of a filler project, so updates may be sporadic. It was brought to my attention that an absolutely atrocious MTL version of this was thrown up online. Yet again, I don't know why people think that's a suitable substitute. At the request of the individual who found it, I'll do a proper rendition. For what it's worth, this manga was scanlated into Chinese forev...

At any rate, going back and reviewing and significantly tweaking my translation that I was commissioned for a while back, here's the start of Ghost for the masses. I'm not going to try not to soapbox (let alone "stir up" any more idiotic drama), but some things do need saying. While I'm aware that another group (gro...

This is why I shouldn't work on projects overnight when I have free time at work! Stupid me, I forgot I had already released this chapter and ended up translating it all over again when I finished the volumes a while back. Ah, well. C'est la vie. Either way, there were some corrections to the dialogue that I had overlooked the last time I released this. When I post chapter 4, I'll have an updated dow...

Continuing the suite of Crossbone series here, first on Patreon, we have the first chapter in the Dust saga! This is going to be a roller coaster to translate, so I hope you all like amusement park rides! Let me know in the comments below what you think and if you spot anything that looks like it could use a little clarification. Until then, stay tuned for Ghost and X-11!

While I'm sure there's probably some other novel series that could benefit from a translation, I guess dealing with random cries for an animated version pushed me to start releasing this earlier than I anticipated. So, without further ado, here's the first part of the bi-weekly offering of Gaia Gear! Please let me know in the comments if there IS an interest in this novel se...

Since we had a (as of this moment) tie between more manga and delicious data, I'm completing my second post of the day, which involves some old school data from one of the RPG books. The book mixes some first hand accounts along with data dumps throughout the book before turning it over to you to play out your own adventures in the One Year War! I can't recall if I released this particular part of the chapter, but either way, I went back and retooled it. I've included a text version ... 2022-11-04 22:17:47 +0000 UTC View Post

Since we're split on what to include on Friday, here's the prologue chapter to DUST before I post some old-timey data!

Yaaay, more Crossbone. This one, in all honesty, wasn't all that bad after I got done with it. I apologize the scans are a bit uh smoothed and heavy. The quality of the paper in Gundam Ace is absolutely atrocious when scanning in. I hate it. Correcting leveling and whatnot is a nightmare.

Gigi Andalucia, her body still hot from her shower, stepped out onto the veranda of the cottage, exposing her entire body to the night air. The air wafting in from over the surface of the ocean seemed to invigorate the cells deep inside of her.

She quickly pulled her hair back with both hands, letting the wind caress her neck. She didn’t care for the heavy feeling of wrapping her hair up in a towel. Instead, she lea...
