KnI chapter 20 and announcement

Isaki makes it to Kouzu, but he (and co.) still have a ways to go before they reach Mt. Fuji. They're about halfway there.

This is the end of volume 3; Kabu no Isaki has ended in Japan at 6 volumes, so this also marks a halfway point in the series as a whole. When I started this project, I had no idea how far I would take it. Progress has been slow at times (okay, all the time) so I'm somewhat surprised that I've made it this far.

But enough navel-gazing. I'd like to announce that I'm dropping the project. With the exception of revisions to volumes 1 and 2, I don't expect to do any more work on this series. But before you despair, let me add that Roselia Scanlations will be taking up the reins. What's more, I expect them to release quite a bit faster than I ever would.

As for the overall status of [dou], various loose ends are being worked on. This year may end up being even more slowbro than ever, but we will see how it goes.

Kabu no Isaki chapter 19

Welp, here we go again. Almost done with volume 3.

I tried to find a pine forest in modern-day Chigasaki but I was not successful. By the way, zoom out on the Satellite imagery and gawk at how large the Tokyo metro area is.

Kabu no Isaki chapter 17

What's this? Less than a month between releases? I bet it's just a dream, no way that could happen.

Chapter sixteen, in which our intrepid protagonist sets off on a new adventure.

Kabu no Isaki chapter 15

Mt. Nokogiri, by wikipedia user Σ64

Well, here we go again. In the ten-times larger world of Kabu no Isaki, the merely spectacular becomes the mind-bogglingly stupendous. In this chapter, Mt. Nokogiri's cliffs are on display, as well as a more familiar sight...

Try some of the pictures from the geotagged picture map and imagine everything ten times bigger.

Discommunication Seireihen chapter 17 (draft)

Seireihen is done... kinda. I would rather not do this, but given that I don't have a whole lot of time on my hands, I'm releasing an incomplete version. Incomplete by my standards, that is — no translated scribbles, no notes, no omake/preview. If you're dying to know how the story turns out (which isn't really the point here, as it's been one long MacGuffin chase) this is the denouement you've been looking for.

The full treatment will be coming sometime in the future, along with probably some v2's.
