We actually meant to release this in the last release, but I never got around to translating it. So we thought we'd do a special release and just release it here on the web site without making you all go to IRC to get it. It's really the culmination of this whole volume, (c23 ended on a cliffhanger), so I'm sure all you Honeymoon fans will appreciate getting it ASAP.

To download it go to Projects --> Honeymoon Salad --> and you'll find the download link. 

The title says it all. We know you've been waiting a while for more Kurozakuro, and we know you've been waiting forever for more Honeymoon, but we've finally answered your pleas. Since I've got lots of free time this summer I decided to take over translating Honeymoon, and as you can see the result is 6 new chapters. Our goal is to finish scanlating Honeymoon (5 volumes total) this summer if possible. So look forward to lots of Honeymoon chaps!

For those that don't know how we release, go to our IRC channel #hanashi@irc.irchighway.net and check the topic for the url to the release download page. 

My subscription with the old host was running out and so instead of renewing (I'm sure you've all noticed the many problems we've had with the site being slow and/or down) I decided to change to a more reliable host.  Well, the change has happened and everything appears to be working like it did before the change (except for the site is faster now) so all seems good.  If you notice anything not working or different than before please let me know and I'll look into it.

So here's our 2 new projects, both by the same mangaka. The mangaka's name is OGAKI Chika, and the mangas are Avian Wander and Landreaall, some of you might have read/skimmed through them since they're available in our raw-section. Please enjoy! ONLY AVAILABLE IN IRC FOR THE MOMENT!
On a side note, the next chapter of Honeymoon Salad is on the way. Druid's hoping he'll get some time off soon so that he can check it, so soonish...

We decided to move our other raw server to a different host, so it's going to be down for a bit. It will be down for at least a day, I would think, maybe more. The good news is that downloads from both servers should be fast now and much more reliable.

Update: You should be able to download almost all the raws again.  Some links such as covers and magazine scans will be down a bit longer because we'll have to change all those links manually, but all volume links should be up and working again.

Before we get a ton of comments from people that can't download raws, one of our raw servers will be down for a while. It's our raw server that I don't pay for directly, so the owner decided to move to a new host. When he let us know, we moved all of the raws from the old host to the new one, so all is fine and good right? Well, today the old host finally suspended the account, and the domain takes a while before it propagates around the internet, so it'll probably be a day or two before you can download from the new server. All the raws with "svr=ms" in the url will not work for the time being.

The good news is that the new server should be much more reliable and probably faster than the old server.

Update: It went faster than I thought, but most people should be able to download from the new server now.  It is faster btw.  When I just tested it I could download at ~500kb/s which is almost as fast as my connex allows.

After uploading yet another batch of raws I decided to check out just how many mangas we've got up now... and the count landed on 242 mangas. That's quite a lot, you guys sure you read all of them? You'll get some time to catch up now, going to lay low with the uploading for some time , so don't expect anything new. I'll upload newer volumes of those already up if I get my hands on them.
Scanlation wise? There might be two new projects coming around (before summer,perhaps :/) but I want to make something clear. Picking up 2 new projects is NOT going to slow down or hinder the other projects. Why? Because nothing is progressing on the other ones. We still miss Druid for all of those, and I'm sure you do too.
So give him a big we-miss-you-hug!

Puh, uploaded 3.8Gb to our servers today, to see exactly what it all was, check out the raw section!

So, I guess it's that time of the year again... we're releasing stuff! Quite a bit actually, for what we have is Kurozakuro vol05. That's right, the whole volume. You should all give some love to Bamboo, Yuura, Leila, and Macknight for their hard work on this volume.
Good things comes to those who wait ;D

Now, to actually get the chapters in question, visit us in our channel. There will be a link in our topic, and as of now there's no other way to get them. In case you don't know, the address for the channel is #hanashi@irchighway.net.

We're still looking for more staff, more japanese->english translators would be nice ;D

There hasn't been many raw updates since Druid went on his break, and it being Christmas and everyone being nice I thought I should be nice too. So I got cracking and voila! I got a whopping 76 volumes!! That's about 4,6gb and to upload it all would cause a lot of stress and potentially suck out all our bandwith for the servers. So I came up with a solution. I'll upload 2 mangas at a time, randomly from my list below. But as a treat, since this is the first day, you'll get updates for 5 mangas! Am I not nice ^^ I will mark the ones I've uploaded with bold text so that you'll notice. Make sure to check in everyday, perhaps something you've been waiting for has been uploaded?
