Now, before we get down to the fun stuff I think a bit of real talk is order. We have not - as you all no doubt have noticed - been releasing very regularly for the last few months. And I think you deserve a bit more of an explanation as well as, once again, our deepest gratitude for your continued patience and good humour.
Previously I had said that a lot of stuff has jumped out at us in our real lives, and unfortunately that's still the case. But the fact is that, more generally, a lot of us aren't quite the people we were when this group started a couple years ago. Back then we were wild, rough characters, willing to sacrifice sleep, socialising and studies for the sake of having something to release every week. And we're no less enthusiastic now - but sadly our present selves must contend with more jobs, more work, and all that good stuff. Even when you take away specific burdens like exams &c., the fact remains that we've got a lot going on, much more than we once did. There's nothing happening with us behind the scenes - we're all still here and we all still love doing this stuff, but we're increasingly finding that we can't, quite as much as we used to. So this leads us onto a couple things:
I. For the time being, the weekly releases are over. Of course, in practice they've been over for a little while already, but just to make it official. We'll release stuff as soon as we can, and it'll go up on whatever day it's ready to, until further notice.
II. Once again we're extremely sorry that we haven't gotten much out lately - we know some projects have been sitting for a very long time, and we know that you all know this. We'll do what we can, and if there's anybody out there willing to help us out with cleaning you would be doing us a very great favour if you made yourself known.
Anyway, after all that, here's the next Yoake! Shouta gets into two fights - one in the past and one in the present. And Nojiko gives us a little protip on how to beat sales tax increases. So please enjoy!
Yoake ni Furu - Chapter 3
And that's, of course, all for now. Smell you later!
Thank you for the new release! Actually in the last post I wanted to thank you for updating the post almost every week even though there was nothing to release. It was comforting to know that the group wasn't abandoned even though the releases had stopped haha I really hadn't even noticed it's been two months...
ReplyDeleteYayyy......Thank you very very much for this lovely release despite your busy schedule IRL!!^_^ No need to apologize, I'm really grateful for all of your hard works thus far in bringing all of these projects to us, Keep up the great works & just take your time guys!!>_<
ReplyDeleteahhh, it's my fav series. <3 Thank you all for working hard on it despite being so busy. ;v; It's understandable that RL priorities come first. No one should be complaining/angry about free scanlations in the first place. >.>
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I thought you were going to announce that outside life commitments were going to make you quit scanlating. I'm really happy to hear that you're still enjoying it AND that you're no longer willing to sacrifice sleep. Sleep is important!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the announcement and for explaining what's going on, I really appreciate it as well as your work. Ganbatte and it's more than understandable that you take your time due to RL priorities/issues, the best for you all! <3
ReplyDeleteAh and thanks a lot for today's release :D
Oooh thanks so much and welcome back! I really can't fault you for your reasons either. I edit for a group and when I joined I had a lot of free time and was very gung ho... now I have an exhausting job that I hate and I find I just want to read manga more than clean it.
ReplyDeleteI thank you very much for taking the time to explain this to us. Real life responsibilities come first and everyone should realize this. Well I will miss the weekly releases I understand wholeheartedly why they can't continue and respect greatly the fact that you will still take the time to bring us something when you can. Thank you so much for all your hard work! Take care!
ReplyDeleteI dont care if I have to wait a year, I'll wait, a year and even more :D I love your work and you choose the manga that i love, so I'll wait :D and dont worry :D
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this release! Shouta/Daiki interactions great as usual.
ReplyDeleteHope things are going alright for the staff. IRL responsibilities definitely take priority! We're all very fortunate that you guys take the time out of your days to share manga translations with us. So thanks again!
First, thank you so much for sharing this. Second, don't worry I think everyone here undestand your cirscunstance. Take care and have a nice week :D.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU! I don't mind waiting for your releases... You guys are awesome :D
ReplyDeleteThankyou, and thankyou for your continued hard work! I also don't mind waiting for your releases, I know how busy life can get ^_^
ReplyDeleteYay! Thank you so much for the release!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are the best scanlating group out there, so I'll wait for as long as it takes. Also, I'd like to help with whatever I can, so I guess I' ll learn how to clean or typeset))
Acmedan Team !!! We are honored.
ReplyDeleteI know that just giving my comment week after week can't help as much as you deserve and need to be help with things. I just wanna say that you are one of the best or maybe the best scanlation team and we are here to give you our support not to give you a uncomfortable feeling . So don't take the blame because you are doing SO RIGHT, the team is working so hard . You own our hearth giving explanation and making us to understand the situation, we are flattered . I know that under a simple comment nobody can feel my grateful feelings, don't take my next words as a simple "Thank you for your hard work and this extraordinary release" but take it as if i've giving my whole self to thank you.
Thank you very much! For working hard and the efforts you've been

*fight*
Thank you very much! ^^
ReplyDelete~angua
I don't speak english very well, so sorry for my bad grammar, but I can read it thanks to you (because I have been practicing with manga).
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I was a member of a fansub before so I understand your situation. In fact I really want to help you but I'm the same as you with real life u~u.
Mmm... I really want but I'm so troublesome.
I really like your work so thanks a lot u///u. ¡THANKS!
I forgot it: Thank you very much for "Yoake".
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!!
ReplyDeletethank you very much:) sounds sad, but wish the best! and hope it will be really great at the end...
ReplyDeletethank you very much for your hard work! as someone who used to be a scanlator 10 years ago and, sadly, outgrew it (plus the real life doesn't wait for you, unfortunately) i understand this perfectly. never let scanlating become a chore, it should be fun :)
ReplyDeletekeep up the quality <3
Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteAnd please don't apologize, we understand completely and will always be grateful for your work, whatever the frequency of the releases. You've introduced us to wonderful mangakas and series and I can't thank you enough for all the work you've done. (Unfortunately, I'm in the same boat right now and until the end of the year so I would just be a dead weight if I applied as a cleaner orz)
thank you for the release. your hard work is appreciated. until we meet again best wishes & regards.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all of your hard work..and I totally understand where you're coming from ^_^.
ReplyDeleteThank you for all of your hard work! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing!!
ReplyDelete*shrieks happily* Thank you so much for the release, and good luck with your RL matters!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the release and for your hard work!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't mind waiting too.
Thank you for the release and your continued time and dedication to bringing us some great BL. I would prefer to hear from you every week to let us know what's going on over dead silence any day. I hope that should the day come that you no longer plan on scanlating that you'll also let the fans and readers know too. It's always sad to see a group simple abandoned. I'd rather at least have the opportunity to thank them and wish them well for everything.
ReplyDeleteI love you guys the most and I don't mind the wait at all, prioritize your daily life stuffs first. we, the readers totally understand you guys and thanks for your releases so far! :D
ReplyDeleteas long as you keep us up to date with anything important! xD
Hello, thanks a lot for all the hard work and you shouldn't worry for not being able to release every week you already do much more than enough willing to sacrifice the little free time you must have scanlating, so that others are able to read.
ReplyDeleteBut I hope that people will want to join your group, I'd like to but I already help a few groups and I can't help more.
But if someone want's to help your group this is a good tutorial
and this is a place where you can ask people to qc your cleaning.
hello, thank you for the news !! and yes i will follow you again and again, you have such good mangaka and i love them so i keep reading them........and it's thanks to you that i love HAYAKAWA Nojiko so much !! i can't drop it like that !! impossible !
ReplyDeleteso good luck with real life et yaoi is sort of passion so when we read and scanlate it must be a joy first !
i hope you didn't drink all the beer in one time lol
thanks a lot for this chapter
Thanks for your hard work, I totally understand :)
ReplyDeletethank you for the update! And really, you don't have to apologize for having a life. Your releases are always high quality, and that's one reason I always enjoy anything you put out to us. So keep concentrating on high quality over quantity, and don't fret over having other/more important things you want/need to do.
ReplyDeleteSee you when we see you! thank you!
ෆ⃛ෆ⃛ෆ⃛ ♡♡[τ̲̅н̲̅a̲̅и̲̅κ̲̅ ч̲̅o̲̅u̲̅]ᴗ͈ₒᴗ͈♡
ReplyDeleteThank you! All the best with RL!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your hard work ^^
ReplyDeleteReal Life should be more important unless you are a hikikomori, the this could count like RL, while is not like that, there are a lot of things always going on, like it or not, and I'm thankfull for your commitment with all your projects, even if it's in a slow pace, reading all this great manga is more than enough! I just hope it continues making you happy enough for you keep it up. Huggsss
ReplyDeleteIt's very good of you to share this update. Really, it's understandable how rl takes precedence over everything else. I'm just really grateful that you guys are still working on hard on the scanlation and sharing it with us. So, thank you for this release and for all the hard work! I look forward to the next release when it comes. :) Take care!
ReplyDeleteThank you so muchhhhhhhhhh for the scan ;_____; I really love Hayakawa Nojiko. I was really happy when I found you've have taken most of her works ;_____; ~ I've also known your blog for long time, always kept checking your new release when I was free, but I was just a silent reader so I didn't leave any comments :( I'm so sorry :( but today is different ;___;
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate your hard work and commitment! Thanks so much!
