I’ve no mood..

I’m envious of those who have summer, I want to have long holidays too, though I’m aware summer is almost over and fall is coming. Yeah, I know my last post is last week, but it feel like last month’s post. *orz*

Anyway, thank you so much for voting in my Maid Maiden poll. Hope to see more votes from those who haven’t voted yet. Though, the result I was expecting is not the choice I thought would come out. So you want to keep up to date with the releases, aye? Well, lucky news, I’m so far behind, well, not really but I have to release 5 more before I get to the latest, and maybe add one more. I haven’t check the latest issue yet, maybe I’ll do it later. Lately I’m so lazy to go look if the new magazine is up thanks to school and the blazing hot sun.

No releases this week too. Isn’t it odd, I declared this on the first day of the week. Someone force me to do scanning like now. The scanner’s so near to me.

Status

Hello. No releases this time. No VK 51 as well. Our scanner is having exams so she cannot scan the chapter. Hope you guys understand and be patient. We’ll try to do something but until then, just wait. If I can help, I already do so, but then again, LaLa is not sold here.

Anyway, this is a poll for Maid Maiden. Generally, I did my counting, for a volume of Maid Maiden, there’s a need for 11 to 13 chapters to complete a book. So far, 11 chapter of Maid Maiden is released locally, 6 scanlated, btw. So, I guess that if there’s already 11 and counting, volume one will surely come out later. So for the future chapters, a.k.a after volume one, should I wait for volume two and so on to be published then scanlate or should I keep buying magazine scans and then for my private use, buy the volumes?

To save my money, I prefer scanlating from the books because one book is MYR 7.50, and I save money from buying two magazines per month to buying a volume worth of 11 – 13 chapters. Still, until I’m perfectly sure what volume one will contain, I’ll continue to buy the magazine but after that, I’ll stop and wait for the volumes to come out.

Why? Because I want to focus scanlating the other anthologies by Kaoru. Maid Maiden is Kaoru new series, on-going, who knows when it’ll end, and seeing the latest chapter (11th), it’s going to be a long way, xDD. Plus, I save money because I only buy the magazine for Maid Maiden alone. I collect the volumes, btw.

I thank you all for your cooperation. Even if I don’t get any response, I’ll still have my decision. I just want to know what you guys think. Thanks!

PS: I finally got the last volume of Helios Eclipse, the eighth volume. Man, the ending is bittersweet, it’s beautiful. I wish I can jump and scanlate the last volume but lol, we haven’t finish volume one yet! Patience, patience.

More Maid Maiden!

DOUBLE RELEASES! Maid Maiden, chapter 5 and 6. You get to find out who Alexander is. You also get to see the new characters in chapter 6.

Btw, I’m glad that Maid Maiden got the attention of international fans. I do hope KAORU-sensei be proud with her work. I saw a message in the chatbox, asking if they can retranslate Maid Maiden into French. I’m so happy. Still, with the forum going on and off at random times, I’m afraid my reply will be a bit late. Rest assured that it’ll be a positive answer!

Well, I only scanned Maid Maiden up to chapter 6. Therefore, for chapter 7 to 10, I’ll scanlate it when I free. Although I skipped school for two days, there’s no mood to scan. Anyway, I posted chapter summaries in MangaFox community so do check it out regularly. I’ll post summmaries of chapter 8 to 10 soon. Seriously, something shocking!

As for VK, with the forum down at the moment, I cannot check if there’s RAW scans of chapter 51, so hopefully it’ll be back soon. Don’t you worry, the extra big scans will come soon! *big hug*

Enjoy Maid Maiden!

PS: Does anyone want to offer a helping hand in scanlating? If anyone interested in editing VK, or scanlating one of KAORU’s manga (Colours/Daisuki/Maid Maiden), just comment. What you need to have is basics in editing manga. I won’t teach you how to clean, resize, crop, clone and etcetera. I only offer help but not the whole class. It’s because if I have to teach and waste my time, I rather edit the scans myself.

Bennett’s past. Maid Maiden.

I’ve spoilers for chapter 5 of Maid Maiden. Alexander. Who is Alexander, you’ll know soon. His first appearance is in chapter 4! For chapter 6, we will meet with the staffs of Bennett’s household. I thought I’ll keep you guys entertained with it.

I’ve spent little time working on chapter 4. If you notice, there’s a bit of difference in the scans for chapter 4, it’s brighter than the first three chapters. Hopefully it doesn’t blind your eyes. I’ve to do that for my own reasons, it looked much cleaner, right? The original scans itself are lighter than my usual scans and chapter 4 isn’t my scans, still, thank you so much LeeSha for scanning the chapter. I’ve received no permission but I’ve credited you. Thanks again to those who helped me in finding the raw chapter!

This chapter is funny. We entered a little bit of Bennett’s world and well, it’s too little honestly. I totally adored the young Bennett look, heee. I regret missing it. When the first volume is out, I’m running to get it ASAP!

Enjoy! MU link will be added as soon as it finishes uploading,

VK, Helios Eclipse. June Releases!

*facepalm* I’m aware that a month has passed since the last releases. I have a reason why and it’s because of my time schedule. Y’see, I was having mid year exams and preparation for my sister’s wedding, which luckily, she’s now a married woman. Congrats!

Also, a week ago, my internet died unexpectedly and I’m without internet for well… a week. It’s been fixed now, and I’m trying to return everything back to normal. So, wish me luck. :3

I planned to do some scanning but I’m not quite used to my new product. I’ll try to reinstall it again and see if it’ll work. I couldn’t find the solution because internet’s dead. See, it has many uses, quick solutions too.

First of all, thanks to all who linked me to the available raw of Maid Maiden chapter 4. The quality isn’t that good but decent enough to edit. I’ll try my best to edit that chapter, ‘kay? Scanning of other chapters, a.k.a chapter 5 to 8, and possibly 9 will be done later. Need to deal with the scanner first!

Let’s get to the real business. Haha. The releases for today are…

Vampire Knight. Chapter 50 is filled with a cover of Yuuki with two wolves; they represented Zero (white) and Kaname (black), as well as 40 pages in total. The chapter is roughly 25 pages about Zero and the remaining pages are about Kaname and Yuuki’s life after their escape. The chapter played with the time, seeing as Zero’s is after a year while Kaname and Yuuki’s 6 months after and the end of year. A very surprising chapter but rather slow on story progress. Also, this chapter has no boxes for thoughts, or narrator’s stuffs. All of it is basically bubble text, bubble text, bubble text…

And as an editor, I’m quite taken by certain scenes so… if chapter 49 has 5 extra bonus pages, chapter 50 has twelve extra pages. Yes, I’m taken by the scenes. *grins* Well, if the extra pages are increasing by time, I’d better create a special page for VK extra pages, oh yes. Check back soon!

Lastly, chapter 3 of Helios Eclipse. It’s a slow project but don’t worry, we’re close in finishing volume 1! Wish us luck! >__<!

Enjoy!!

May Releases!

Hey! Well, this time, I’m  posting in an all new site of DWYN.SN. I believe I should change the group name in MangaUpdates, soon, hopefully. Anyway, we’ve have some releases for you guys. Just two projects but it’s worth it.

Vampire Knight. Along with the chapter, we included some extras; five selected pages of chapter 49, resized to 1000 px width, no text added. Normally, our scans are 750 px, but because the scans are just too wonderful, plus, I know some colourist like colouring the panels, I thought of providing cleaned, no text added pages. Go to the VK page and download chapter 49!

Maid Maiden. I am aware I’ve released chapter 1, but there’s grammar mistakes, so I’ve decided to release version two, top it off with chapter 2 and chapter 3! Chapter 2 is a bit funny but chapter 3 is filled with too much text. I survived, don’t worry.

Anyway, I’ve a request to make, does anyone have scans of chapter 4 which is released in Gempak issue #225? Unfortunately, I’ve missed that issue and needed the scans. I’ve scans of chapter 5 and 6, only needed chapter 4. If anyone is willing to scan it, can you please contact me in the chatbox inside the forum. I prefer if you’re able to scan it to 200 or 300 dpi. All the help is appreciated and credited. After all, if I’m unable to get scans of chapter 4, I’ll just continue scanlating chapter 5 and onwards.

Guess, that’s all now! Enjoy the releases and please bookmark this page for easier access. I believe I’ll update the download pages through this site then. Thanks!!
