New Stay Gold chapter

The ride never ends

Anyway if you're late to the party -- we're now closed! See post below for full details.

Wednesday, August 9, 2017

Good evening!


Big bunch of stuff tonight, you lucky people. First we continue on the recent Hideyoshico theme with the covers and extra content for Volumes 1 and 2 of Stay Gold. To recap: Volume 1 was originally published back in classical antiquity (2014) by Gateau. The story then disappeared for a while until, under circumstances which remain highly opaque to us, it was transferred to OnBlue and new chapters started appearing there. Volume 2 came out, published by OnBlue, earlier this year, and they very obligingly decided to reissue Volume 1 at the same time, with a nice new cover to match Volume 2's. We have them both here, of course.

OnBlue's Volume 1 also includes some re-issued Udagawachou content which first appeared in OnBlue magazine --and was duly scanlated by us, inter alia-- in 2015. Fairly unaccountable that it should reappear here but, as the stories share a publisher, it makes sense from that perspective, and certainly it appearing in a volume gives it a more permanent home than it just disappearing obscurely in a magazine. If you're a real Hideyoshico head you'll have seen this stuff already but we include it here for completeness.

As a final note, these covers feature very handsome shiny gold text which, regrettably, is turned into an unpleasant murky brown colour in being scanned. Obviously we always exhort you to Support The Artists and buy all this stuff in the original but these books in particular are really nice in-person.

Stay Gold - Volume 1 - Extras

Stay Gold - Volume 2 - Extras



And in case you were worried we'd forgotten that artists other than Hideyoshico exist, we return to draw from our earliest well of them all with the long-awaited(?) next chapter of Endou-kun no Jikken Note, drawn, of course, by the radiant Hayakawa Nojiko. This story is out now in volume form as well, in fact -- and like Stay Gold it appears as a pair of books. This chapter here takes us to the end of the Volume 1 content, so next up in terms of Endou will be the extra content from the book, and then we'll get onto the Volume 2 chapters. But for now:

Endou-kun no Jikken Note - Chapter 7

Which takes us to the end of the post -- until next time, keep on keepin' on~

:O=====

Good evening!


Apologies for the pause in releases, which ended up turning into something like a hiatus -- busy time of year for a lot of us, unfortunately. But we're like Hetalia, we'll never die. Anyway, the releases. First up is Chapter 11 of Stay Gold, which takes us in dramatic fashion to the end of the Volume 2 content. Here Yuuji and Hayato explore their feelings in a somewhat more physical manner than hitherto. Of note is that this chapter exists in two different versions: in the tankobon it's a couple pages longer and a couple pages are different to how they appear in the magazine version (there's a note explaining this better in the actual release). We present both iterations in the one download: the magazine version, which was published earlier, comes first, and the volume version second.

Stay Gold -- Chapter 11

Next up from this story will be the extra content in the new tankobons and then we'll get back to the chapters.



And to play us out, a new and very cute Syohei oneshot from friend of the library Lenny:

Zenryaku Love Hotel yori [oneshot]

That's all for now -- hope to see you all again soon! Emails should hopefully get replied to in the near future, apologies once again on that front.

Good evening!


Returning now to our regularly-scheduled programming, here we've got the next instalment of Stay Gold. Our heroes spend the afternoon outdoors, boxes are meaningfully carried, and we end on a thrilling cliffhanger. And we've got a nice colour picture, for the first time in a while. So if you're interested in reading this chapter please fax "Give me Stay Gold Chapter 10 please" along with a return address to our usual number and we'll get back to you when convenient.

Stay Gold - Chapter 10
[mediafire] | [sendspace]
(NB: the colour picture herein actually belongs to the next chapter, rather than this one here -- little mistake on our end. Makes no particular difference either way, fortunately.)

Meanwhile Lenny's considerable fecundity continues. Once again we draw from the Syohei / Inutoki well, and again we return to the characters we first met in Ringo, Ki kara Ochiru. This time it's the boys from the titular Ringo itself, and here we get to see how their little story ends. So, please:

Tomorrow at 7-30

(As usual, this is a Libre thingy so we'll withdraw the link in due course)

We're also advised that last release's Yuusha in Maounchi, Chapter 1 contained a small but not unimportant mistake, so we'd be obliged if you could delete your copies and instead grab the V2, which is here:

Yuusha in Maounchi - Chapter 1 V2 27/02/2017

And that's all for tonight -- よろちくび~!!!

Good evening!


And we're back-!! Our impromptu unannounced summer vacation went on a little longer than anticipated but we've now returned to full hardness and are ready to give it to your favourite stories once again. And so to that end, please find enclosed herewith the next Stay Gold: herein we find Hayato putting Hidaka's advice into practice, and maybe getting a result he wasn't expecting. So please lean forward with your hands on top of your head and your elbows against your thighs, ensure your feet are flat on the floor and download:

Stay Gold - Chapter 9

That's all for now -- I'll try to attend to all the outstanding emails over the weekend and we should have some more Nojiko in the very near future. Until we meet again~~

_φ(°-°=)

Good evening!


More Stay Gold for you tonight -- we find Hayato having a fairly mixed time of things, and Hidaka manages to get himself in an awkward situation. Not much else needs saying here, so let's go straight to:

Stay Gold - Chapter 8

And that's all for this post -- if you're waiting on an email I hope I can get that over to you in the next few days (I've let things slip a little again, unfortunately). But that aside, we'll see you when we next see you!

Good evening!


Tonight... Stay Gold... is back! back!! back!!! (...but really yep, here's a new chapter). We'd been sorta wondering what had happened to this one: the tankobon came out in late 2014 with the ominous suffix of "Volume 1," and so we waited patiently for "Volume 2" content to appear imminently... and we continued to wait, until we'd rather forgotten about it. But skip forward to a little earlier this year, and the story makes its surprise re-appearance, in a rather unexpected place: the story had been published in Gateau (by Ichijinsha), but it's now mysteriously moved to OnBlue* (by Shodensha) -- of course there's no explanation provided for the change, so we can only guess what obscure machinations caused the story to switch not just magazines but publishers as well -- if any readers have any insight as to what might've happened here we'd be very interested to hear from them.

Anyway yeah, more Stay Gold for you all -- Volume 1 was, perhaps, not Hideyoshico's best or best-received story but, without wanting to spoil too much, this chapter seems to indicate that the manga is making a slight change in direction (and definitely a positive one, we feel) -- if you found yourself a little weary of this story when we last left it then we think you might be pleasantly surprised if you give this chapter a try, suffice to say. And if you've forgotten the fairly baroque way all the characters are connected then there's a handy relationship chart at the start of this chapter, which might perhaps be a little more painless than a re-visit of the previous ones. So let's get down to it:

Stay Gold - Chapter 7

And that's all for now!! Until we meet again~

*One obvious downside of this change is that OnBlue has precisely zero colour insert pages (whereas Gateau dished them out generously), so we must sadly report that the great flourishing of colour art we saw with the previous chapters is presumably now finished, very unfortunately.

Updates

Good evening!


Unfortunately no new releases tonight, but we've finally gotten around to doing some things which should've been done a long time ago.

First of all, the blog has finally been dragged screaming into 2016: we've rolled up our sleeves and cleaned out the Augean Stables that were our projects pages, so you'll be pleased to know that those are now entirely current and up-to-date, and we promise to faithfully keep them updated going forwards. And with that done, we can now present the following long-awaited batch releases:

Sonna Me de Mitekure - Complete Volume

[mediafire] | [sendspace]

Stay Gold, Volume I - Complete Volume
[mediafire] | [sendspace]

Yasaotoko to Sadistic - Complete Volume

The contents of the Sonna Me and Stalker-kun batches are identical to their constituent releases, but subsequent to our finishing Stay Gold the very tasteful colour page above came into our possession (from the "Introduction to BL" book, of all things) so we've added that to the "Extras" folder -- the rest remains per our original releases (if you have the original release and don't want to download the whole batch, the picture up there has the right filename, so you can just grab that and stick it in the folder). We've also done up a new version of the Udagawachou batch, to include the movie special and the movie subs:

Wait for Me at Udagawachou - Complete Volume (V2)

Nothing's been done to Kurayami for the time being: in due course we'll presumably need to rename the Utsusemi releases (or at least take "KnS Extra" out of the filenames of the ones from 2013) but we'll wait until the volume comes out (...whenever that'll be) and we can get an official steer on how this is meant to be organised.

Also there's some very handsome new banners! (with more to follow)

Anyway that all having been said, some less positive news. We hope this is less of an announcement and more of an acknowledgement of what is, by this point, a fairly well-established situation, but at any rate we hereby give notice that we've dropped the following titles:

1. Hanabatake to Wakarebanashi;
2. Ippo;
3. Sora no Deau Bashou de.

Our very sincere apologies to anybody who was enjoying these series and was hoping we'd take them through to their conclusions, but unfortunately there's less enthusiasm for working on them at our end than there once was: and so we think it'd be better if, rather than sitting on them, we gave them up and allowed someone else more committed see them through the rest of the way. We have no opinion on who takes these off our hands and, as we've dropped them, we don't think we're entitled to give permission -- so please, if you're interested, just go ahead, and if you get in touch we'll link back to you here.

We will however finish Koketsu (new chapter soon!) and Bikkuri, and get the omake stuff for Itsuka Tomodachi done.

The final item remaining outstanding is the re-translation request emails, which have (entirely through my personal fault) gone unanswered for some time: I'll pull up a coffee and really try to get these all cleared up in the next week or so -- thanks to everybody for their patience.

And so that's all for now, hope we meet again soon~

Good evening!


Yet more Stay Gold for you all tonight: this is Chapter 6.5, which wasn't included in the Volume and is, as far as we know, the most recent Stay Gold thing that's been published. This is perhaps setting the scene for the purported Volume II but who can say, really. Anyway we absolutely promise the next release will be a Nojiko thing. But for now, enjoy~!

Stay Gold - Chapter 6.5

As an aside, we realised just now that we (i.e., me) made a mistake with one of the pages in Chapter 6 - the correct cleaned version wasn't used in the release. We've fixed it and updated the links in the Chapter 6 post but if you don't want to re-download the whole thing the page in question is here, so you can just save this and replace the old page with it (page 8).

Anyway that's all for now, hope you have a nice time until we see you again!

Good evening!


More Stay Gold for you all, this time the various extra stuff contained in the volume. We got some nice colour pages, an omake and a few miscellaneous things. So enjoy:

Stay Gold - Extras

And that's all for now, have a good day and we'll smell you guys later.

Good evening!


And good to finally get the Christmas post off the top of the site, seeing as we're halfway through March and all. Hope you've all had a gentle, pleasing 2015 so far. Anyway we're here again - that was a considerably longer break than we had anticipated but we're back now, is the main thing (hopefully!). And we've got the sixth chapter of Stay Gold for your reading pleasure. This is, for all substantive purposes, the final chapter, but there's a "Chapter 6.5" of just a few pages to come, plus the vague promise of another volume in the future, so I've held off on the "[end]" suffix, for at least the time being. But still, this is pretty much the thrilling conclusion. Been a strange, strange series but hopefully you all have managed to get something out of it. So enjoy:

Stay Gold - Chapter 6
[mediafire] | [sendspace]
Edit 06/04: Fixed strange-looking page.

And that's all for now. We're very sorry there hasn't been any Nojiko in a little while but we promise it's all still being worked on, and we hope to have some things for you all in the not too distant future. So until then, have a good one~

(And a very happy St. Patrick's day to all our readers who are either Irish, Northern Irish or just Irish in spirit)

༼ ºل͟º ༽

22/06: There'll be something next week.

15/06: Thanks for your patience!

08/06: Still nothing ready to be released. If you run into me in the street I'll happily fall to my knees and apologise to you in person.

01/06: Sorry folks. Try again next week.

Good evening!


And lo, on the third week the clouds parted and the next release descended from the heavens in a blaze of glory. To give a slightly fuller explanation of our recent form, we've got a lot of exams, work things &c. on at the moment, and so between ourselves we really don't have as much time for BL as we'd like. Of course we'll try our best to keep things moving but please don't be alarmed if we have a few more empty weeks in the near future.

But that's all ahead of us, my friends - tonight we're here with the latest Stay Gold. In this chapter Hayato and the other guy have a man-to-man conversation about their feelings, and reminisce about the past a bit. I think this is also the first time a car has appeared in a Hideyoshico story, unless there's something obvious I've forgotten. Anyway it's a fun chapter with some really nice colour pages, so please enjoy!

Stay Gold - Chapter 5

And that's all for now. Have a good week and we'll see you next time, whenever that is!

(○゜ε^○)

Good evening!


So yeah, we're back and we've got stuff. First up is something you haven't seen in a long time - the next Koketsu Dining. We're extremely sorry this took so long to get out - we know some people thought we had dropped it completely, which was an entirely reasonable conclusion on their parts. We had an almost unimaginable run of bad luck with this chapter, in our defence. But it's here now, is (hopefully!) the main thing. So strap yourself in and please enjoy:

Koketsu Dining - Chapter 5

We imagine the gap between this and the next chapter will be somewhat shorter than that between this and the previous chapter. Anyway next up is the next Stay Gold, where some stuff happens. Some of you may be interested to know that this is the first chapter to appear in the new version of Gateau magazine, with its shiny covers and abundant colour pages. All it means in our case though is that there's a nice recap page at the start and some crap at the edge of a few pages. The next chapter has a very nice double-page colour spread but we'll get to that in due course, my friends. 

Stay Gold - Chapter 4

Anyway that's all for now - have a good week and we'll see you next time!

( ˇ෴ˇ )

Good 2014!


And we're back - hope you all had a congenial Christmas and New Year. And we'll need to be straight with you here: Kurayami isn't ready to go out the door yet. It's at a very advanced stage of being worked on, but we're not at the end yet. Rest assured, of course, that it's our highest priority and we shall convey it to you all as soon as is practically possible. Anyway tonight we've got the return of two old favourites. First up is the next instalment of Stay Gold, wherein we get some sexy stuff and some plot finally rolls around the bend. Also the cover is absolutely beautiful. Enjoy!
Edit: fixed credit pages for Stay Gold

Stay Gold - Chapter 3.5

Aaaand here's the next chapter of Sora no Deau Basho de! Hope you all remember this. Anyway this chapter continues on from the previous chapter, and the characters learn some important revelations. Enjoy also!

Sora no Deau Basho de - Chapter 6

Finally, some boring administrative stuff: the pages with all the download links at the top are finally up-to-date again (apologies for having let them grow fallow for quite a while) and the handful of dead links are fixed. As always, let us know if anything isn't working and we'll see what we can do about it. And that's all for now, have a good week and we'll see you next time!

( ̄~ ̄;)

Good evening!


Alright, first of all we've got Sairuiu 7, rounding off the series. Remember of course that chapter 8 came out last week, and it's the last one. The little story here follows on from chapters 1 and 2. Enjoy!

Sairuiu - Chapter 7


And the next chapter of Stay Gold has arrived. This chapter advances the plot a few inches, but we get to explore things a bit from Hayato's perspective, so things are cool. Enjoy this also!

Stay Gold - Chapter 3


That's your lot, then. Have a good week and we'll see you next time!

Sunday, May 5, 2013

(✌゚∀゚)☞

Good evening!


One release for you tonight. We're going to be like this for a bit longer, so thank you all again for your patience, especially with the the things we haven't put out in a while. We're still working on everything though -including the Nojikos of course- so please bear with us for the moment. Anyway here's the next chapter of Stay Gold, of course by Hideyoshico. In this chapter the action steps up a bit.

Stay Gold - Chapter 2

Have a good week and we'll see you again next time!

Sunday, February 24, 2013

Σ(・ω・`|||)

Good evening! Quite a varied assortment of stuff tonight so we'll get straight to business.


Okay so first up we've got the next Stay Gold for your pleasure. This chapter is a flashback and gives us some of Hayato's background. So enjoy that.

Stay Gold - Chapter 1.5


Second, we've got the belated and long-awaited next chapter of Sora no Deau Basho de. This picks up from where we last left off, and if the fine details of the story aren't perfectly clear in your head then here's the first three chapters for your convenience.

Sora no Deau Basho de - Chapter 4


And finally, those of you with longer memories might recall Me ni wa Sayaka ni, a Hirakiya Yuya oneshot  about a dude who can talk to spirits, which we did back in the summer. Well, we've got exciting news for you if you liked it - there was a continuation recently published, and we've got it here:

Me ni wa Sayaka ni - Part 2


And that's everything once again. Have a good week!

Sunday, January 13, 2013

ლ(́◉◞౪◟◉‵ლ)

Hello again! We're well-rested and ready to take on 2013, so we'll get right down to business with our first post for the new year.


We'd be sad if you all went too long without any Hideyoshico, so first up tonight is the first chapter of her latest work Stay Gold. It's about a guy who has to live with his deadbeat brother and his sister's children, and if this chapter is anything to go by, things are going to get very interesting indeed. Please enjoy.

Stay Gold - Chapter 1

And speaking of Hideyoshico, we've got a very recent oneshot of hers, about a stalker and the object of his affections. It's pretty short but it's really really excellent stuff, definitely one of the things we've had the most fun with recently. Many thanks to Aurorascans for providing the raws.

I Love You Until the End of the World [oneshot]

And lastly, on perhaps a lighter note, the next Oyajina.

Oyajina! - Chapter 2

Finally, as you have hopefully noticed, we've got a shiny new layout for the blog. There's still a few things we want to poke around with, so please forgive any strangeness in the site design for the next couple weeks. We still haven't gotten around to fixing the links in last year's posts, but the project pages should still all be functional. As usual, please let us know if they aren't.
