WE'RE NEVER DROPPING HONEYMOON SALAD!

So we're trying to get back up to speed after basically the whole staff being busy, we won't be fast but we won't die either.

The release is available on IRC and on our New Release page on Mediafire.

We're finally back with some good news (for once), this being that we're releasing Avian Wander c4-8 and thereby completing volume 1. Download link, all new releases will be uploaded there. I know some of you might've wanted chapters from the other manga we do, but here's the thing: We need more staff, and we're reaching out to see if any of you want to help out. We need the following:

Translators/translation checker: We need translators, especially translators willing to check other translations. This is perhaps our main holdup at the moment, f.ex. this release was only possible because one of our translators nicely agreed to check it. Most of our translators are too busy to check scripts, and the person we used to have check scripts exclusively is missing. If you feel that you perhaps don't have time to translate but might have time to check translations then please apply! The translation/tl-check test is below:

English-checker/QCers: Even though we have a very competent QCer in Leila, we really need to have at least one more so that we don't burn her out. Click below to read more about the position as well as a link to the test.

If you're interested, please mail me at Girsej@gmail.com and I'll forward your mail to the person checking your test. I look forward to working with you!

We've been discussing if we really should have our releases on the only server we have left, as it might cause bandwith issues for both this the main site and our staff site. Until we've decided what to do I've created a Mediafire account and uploaded most of our releases there. I could not find Kiss Zekou Kiss and Kanna though, so they're missing. I've updated the projects pages with links to this account and I'll also post it here. If you find any corrupt files, comment here and I'll fix it. Thank you ^^

That's right, the link @_@ -> Mediafire

We've run into the same problem we've had in the past with our host for our raws.  I picked them specifically to avoid this kind of problem but it seems they've changed their rules since I signed up.  At this point we're just going to run into the same problem over and over again unless we come up with a different idea for serving you raws so after the section goes down it will stay down.  I'm not going to make any promises about it coming back up.  If I find a solution it'll come back up, if I don't it won't.

In the meantime, I've disabled the file download limit, so feel free to rape the section until it goes down.  That'll happen sometime in the next couple days.

Sorry this had to happen and I'll wrack my brain to try and come up with a solution.

Seems like one of our servers is down, but I have no idea what the cause is. Could be dns not working properly, maintenance by the hosting etc. I can't do anything about, except inform you about it.

A note, the server in question is the one where all our raws AND releases are located, so downloads are non-functioning atm.

UPDATE:It has been fixed now. I'll quote Druid:

'What happened is that the domain expired and was immediately picked up by some opportunistic bastard trying to show ads to people trying to get to our raws...'

I thought I'd make an update so that you all know what's going on, us being all quite for some time. Many of you already know that we at times seemingly go inactve just to reappear and I can assure you that, once again, this is the case for our current situation.

So, what's wrong? People being busy. We're all 20+, real life can really throw stuff your way that forces you to put your hobbies on hold. We're a small group so when most of us are busy (our main jp-eng checker is reaaal busy) it tends to slow us down, a lot.

But we're still working. As of now, Avian Wander chapters 5-7 are translated, Honeymoon Salad chapter 28 too, a friendly bird told me chapter 29 is on the way too. We're waiting for scans for some projects, Kurozakuro being one of them, although we have someone interested in helping us out so that will hopefully sort itself out.

So there it is, feel free to comment. No hatemail, please ;_;

PS. As you can read, we could use the help of someone who is fluent in both Japanese and English. Feel up for it? Mail me ^^

We've now added measures to rectify our spam problem. Hopefully no more spam, at least not from new accounts. Might still pop up a few spam posts on the forum until we've found all the spam accounts.

As some of you might've noticed our forum has started to get spammed, not extremely hard but still quite noticable. The public sign-up for the site has been temporarily been disabled, if you want to join e-mail me (Girsej) and I'll manually create an account for you. My adress is on the staff page.

Also, the forum itself has been disabled for now. Druid might activate it again once he wakes up but I had enough of cleaning up all the spam :/

So new release, 2 chapters of the greatest manga (Honeymoon Salad) ever? I'd like to think so ;D

I found a new host and hopefully we won't have the same problems.  Their terms of service don't have any rules about not using an account for "storage purposes" so we should be good.  Have fun downloading again, and let us know if you have any issues.  The speed will probably be a little slower for those like me that can download at a speed over 400kb/s, but it should still be fast enough.
