Thanks!





UPDATE-O

Chapter 6 of Matsuribayashi-hen out also! 

Thanks to TheAce as always for the translations! 

(Also, if you notice there's no title page it's because it's not done yet. >_>)




Look, it's another UPDATE

Aortic seems to have ran out for a bit, and it seems I can still access the site, so I'll take care of this update (~-_-)~

Minagoroshi-hen chapter 3 is out!  Thanks be to TheAceFrehley for translating and Falchion Oni for his editing job!  Edit should be kept up after this, but a different group might pick them up, as Falchion Oni appears to be busy now.  We'll see though, I'll keep you updated!

Yay~
-Benny1




UPDATE-O

We've got chapter 2 of Minagoroshi hen for you tonight, thanks to TheAceFrehley's translations and Falchion Oni's edits! m(_ _)m

Also, if anyone has a chance to click on the link to that youtube video below it could really help my friend out?

Thanks,
Aortic




Help my good friend get an internship?
All you need to do is click the link to check out my friend's youtube video and you'd really help him toward getting this amazing internship jetsetting around the world for STA Travel! (part of the judging is based on views)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLGLJM4A9WI

And if you have a youtube account/are super cool you could rate him and comment positively on the video!

It's a great opportunity for him and could really change his life.  Just thought I'd throw this up here to see if we could get a little extra help, no worries if you're too busy!

Expect more Higurashi in not too long...

OLDIES BUT GOODIES

Two more blasts from the past for you today: 

Don't miss the 6th and final heartrending chapter of Light of the Month is Full: Even Though the Time For Dreaming Has Passed in the Tsukihime section.

And some awesome individual with a passion for Ronpaia decided to translate One Day! Volume 4 which people have been looking forward to forever!  Check it out in the Fate section.

Thanks to everyone at Wakachan for their hard work making this release happen~




UPDATE-O

The first chapter of Minagoroshi-hen coming to you thanks to the hard work of our newest editor Falchion Oni and our old friend translator TheAceFrehley.

Enjoy!




An upDATE down memory lane!

Anyone remember Light of the Month is Full?

Well some kind anonymous at Wakachan was awesome enough to translate the two remaining chapters.  Here's the first one: Dream Moon!  On the Tsukihime page. 

Raioh is still probably my favorite doujin artist, enjoy!




UPDATE-O

We have a positively glorious Fate doujin for you today entitled Meeting

Many thanks to Yozora for the translations and Raenius for the edits once again!




UPDATE-O!!

Another gripping installment of Fate meeting Tsukihime (on the Fate page) in Crazy Clover Club's T-Moon Complex X 04 tonight thanks to Darksoul's wonderful translations and Raenius's consistently top-notch editing skills!!!

Edit: fuuuuuuucccckkk, seems the link went down.  It should be up right now, sorry bout that.




UPDATE-O

Another wonderful Kara no Kyoukai doujin for you today from Comic a la Carte, entitled Girl's Dream.  Thanks to an anonymous at Wakachan for the translations!  Quietly at Night also up in the Fate section.

And added Cat's Holiday and Lycee to the Tsukihime archives.

Enjoy!!






UP-AD-O

Threw up some advertisements.

Not quite certain how that works scanslation ethics-wise, but I want to be able to afford keeping the site going after I'm broke and graduated and I feel like it's better than asking for donations or something, especially since I'm not even the one hosting anything really...

(Thanks so much to Moogy and Surrarin once again for that!!) 

So hope they're not too bothersome, and speaking of plugging things, the first season of the Higurashi anime has been out for awhile and the licensed manga is being released at a pretty rapid click now so if you haven't bought any of it yet I definitely recommend supporting the cause and swinging over to purchase them if you can!

(~^_^)~




UPDATE-O!!

And not a bad one if I do say so myself.

First, we have Chapter 5 of Matsuribayashi-hen, drawing to a close (I suspect) Takano's heart-wrenching arc.  Thanks to TheAce once again for the translations! 

Also, in honor of the fifth episode's release we have a Kara no Kyoukai doujin entitled Marionette Game by Comic a la Carte.  Dig it!

Finally, a kind soul tracked down the last three chapters of the Fate Official Manga (15-17) which are now up.  The links should work now too, sorry to anyone who had trouble earlier!

And if there's anyone out there interested in translating some Meakashi-hen we'd really appreciate it! 
Falchion has already cleaned up the entire first volume... (~^_^)~
Let us know in the guestbook if anyone's up for the challenge!




UP-FATE-O

Added links to all the scanslated chapters of the official Fate manga (1-14) available at the Beast's Lair Storage Site
(a great place to go for webviewing of all things Type-Moon, check it out sometime!) 

These were painstakingly translated by Takajun and Sevens and edited by Lord Phr0zen.  (check out his site for more cool stuff!)
m(_ _)m m(_ _)m m(_ _)m m(_ _)m m(_ _)m m(_ _)m m(_ _)m m(_ _)m m(_ _)m m(_ _)m m(_ _)m m(_ _)m m(_ _)m m(_ _)m

I guess chapters 15 through 17 are floating around out there too, if anyone could post a link to them in the guestbook so we could get them up as well it would be much appreciated!!

(Also, if there are any other Type-Moon doujins that have been scanslated recently you can think of that we don't have let me know and I can try and get them in the archives)

~Aortic



 




ARCHIVES BACK UP!!

All the links in the Tsukihime/Fate/Kara no Kyoukai section should be working for direct download.

Huge thanks to Surarrin who came through with the new Fate hosting!

Much gratitude also to TheSilentReviewer who wrangled together all the files!!! m(_ _)m

Guestbook's back up, please let me know if any of the links are still down...

~Aortic




TRAUMATIZED MUCH?

Chapter 4 of Matsuribayashi-hen out!  Be warned though, it's not for the squeamish or the faint of heart.  Seriously, shit's fucked up. >_>

Thanks again to TheAce again for the wonderful translations!

Also, we have three enjoyable Fate doujins for you today:
Garnet
Despite Everything He's My Master
and Despite Everything He's My Master 2: Maid in Heaven 

Thanks as always to Raenius and Yozora for their hard work.

Hope everyone enjoyed the holidays!

CUANDO LAS CUCARACHAS ESTAN TRISTE
So I hear you like Droopy-tan? 

Then you'll enjoy the first chapter of Matsuribayashi-Hen!  (Thanks to TheAceFrehley for the translations)

And thanks to Yozora, Darksoul and Raenius we have two more Type-Moon offerings for you in the Fate section:
-  Part three of Crazy Clover Club's crossover classic T-Moon Complex X 03
- and a some cuddly cosplaying in Illicit Love Alliance by Z-less.

Also, took down the guestbook cause I got sick of answering the same damn questions...

Deal with it.




HUGE THANKS TO AKIRA FOR TRANSLATING THE MAHJONG PORTIONS OF YOUYOUMU!!!!!

UPDATE-O


Well, I know the amazing crew of Gaku-Touhou has their own page for releasing, but I just had to put the newest Touhou doujin, Variant Youyoumu 2 (MAHJONG!) up here, partly because I edited it, partly because it's balls to the wall epic.  Thanks to Pilpsie and Akira for the translations!  Keep your eyes on Gensokyo for future releases.

Also, if you have a little time, my friend from film school looks like he's got a shot at rocking the "What Would You Do For a Klondike Bar" contest.  Search for "edevere" and if you can, please register to vote!  I laughed till I cried, it's pretty spectacular.  I think his sense of humor is definitely in the same vein as those who enjoy "A Cat is Fine Too" and /a/.

More stuff coming soon, take it easy all!




UPDATE-O

On the Tsukihime page check out:

-The Bonds Between Men and Women are Mysterious Things  (Higurashi fan's should also check this out for a great crossover)
-Kisaragi
-Mouki no Fuboku
-Tsukineko
-Valentine's Operation V

On the Fate page enjoy:

-Dead End 4: Bazett's Jobhunting  and
-Reality Marble-like Stories of the Emiya Household

Thanks to Raenius for the edits and Yozora, Bun Bun and Anonymous for the translations!




ARCHIVES UPDATE

Thanks to the very generous help of Thesilentreviewer I'm glad to say the effort to get everything back up is finally picking up steam.

Basically everything but the Fate page should be back up for direct download, that should be done by the end of the weekend but please let me know if any of the links on the Tsukihime page still don't work.

Also if anyone has Cursed Circlet or Satsuki we'd really appreciate a rapidshare/megaupload so we can get it back hosted.

Thanks~
Aortic




UPDATE-O

Oni Sarashi Epilogue.  Get it while it's hot!

Thanks to TheAce for the translations~

Aortic




HIMATSUBOOYAKASHA

Epilogue to Himatsubushi out, and with that Gaku is proud to complete its third project!!

Once again the profoundest thanks to TheAceFrehley for his lightning-fast translations!!

Also for more Type-Moon crossover mayhem, check out T-Moon Complex X02 on the Fate page.  Thanks to Darksoul for the translations and Raenius for the edits!  And don't miss the third thrilling installment of Sword Dancers 2: "Knight of Lorelei".

~Aortic




EHEH...

So I talked all that smack and then screwed up the link, pretty lame. 

To make it up to you here's chapter 8 as well. (~^_^)~




UPDATE-O!!

Chapter 7 of Himatsubushi out, READ IT DAMNIT!!!!  (I'm talking to you Type-Moon fans!  It's amazing I promise...)  Thanks to TheAce for the trans!

And we have two new Tsukihime doujins thanks to Raenius and Yozora, Dream Moon and A Profusion of Akiha.  Revel in their glory, then start reading Himatsubushi!!  Seriously, that's getting like one hit for every hundred on the Type-Moon page... T_T  Which is a shame since it's probably the arc that got the most cut out of it in the anime...

Once again:    editing > archives            
I'll get to it after Himatsubushi's finished if Benny doesn't first, apologies for the delay!

Hope finals are going well, take it easy all!
~Aortic





UPDATE-O!!

First off....

Higurashi is licensed!! 

The early arcs of Higurashi have all been licensed by YenPress!!
Why not support them and subscribe to the monthly installment to satisfy your cravings?
http://yenpress.us/?page_id=454

And I pulled another all nighter to bring you a whopping two chapters of Himatsubushi this fine Thursday morn, thanks to TheAce for the translations!!

And we have two wonderful new Fate doujins as well thanks to the wonderful Yozora and Raenius, Just a Clear Hearted Smile and Tamate Note.

Aaaaand the archives still being down.  They'll get done when they get done, could be a week from now could be a month.  Sorry, please bare with us! m(_ _)m

~Aortic




WHEN IT RAINS IT POURS

Hello!  So it looks like Moogy's hosting died, completely wiping out everything we had up there.  We're trying to get it all back up, you can thank Benny for his valiant efforts compiling all the various doujin goodness.  Shouldn't be too long until we have everything up for direct download again, until then try rapidsearching and you should be able to find most of what you're looking for.

It also happened that either my internet or freewebs, not sure which, completely bitched out on me for a week so I couldn't get in to post the release:

Himatsubushi chapter four in all its glory, enjoy!

~Aortic




Progress UPDATE

Sweet, so I've been working my butt off, as have a few wonderful members, and I have a progress update!  Nothing uploaded yet, sorry.  That's going to take a long, long time.  I do have two things to show you though~

http://pastebin.ca/976377  List of what I have already.  Try not to send me any of these!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v514/Benny1/Random%20Crap/GGAL.jpg Lots of stuff on pretty Sacchin!

Keep them coming!
~Benny1




No new UPDATE

Moogy's hosting got wiped!  It's already back up, so uploading can commence, but... I don't have everything!  I need you, faithful GGAL visitors, to somehow get TYPE-MOON and Higurashi stuff to me!  Anything else hosted on Tsukuru too!  Once this happens, I can start UPLOADING!

So, GGAL's fate is in the hands of the users!  And well, I'm sure Aortic is fishing up something, but he hasn't told me so I decided to post about this to get news out anyways!

So yeah, help me out here!  If you want to e-mail me links or anything, my email is BennyMalec at Gmail dot com

~Benny1




All the newer Higurashi stuff available for direct download!  (Oni Sarashi ch. 7, Himatsubushi ch. 2 & 3, Umineko ch. 3)

Thanks once again to our hero Moogy for hosting all this action!!  Or not.

Moogy's hosting is dead.  All of TYPE-MOON and Higurashi is currently unhosted.  Sorry D:

UPDATE-O!!

Thanks to Unasuvas and Serenade_Beta (a.k.a..... Sea Cat Scans!!) for chapter 3 of Umineko!




SPRING BREAKU!!

(Also make sure to read the disclaimers or you might end up with a face full of futa!) >_>

~Aortic




not really an UPDATE (/call for help!)

Boku no Sensei, a charming, allbeit particularly explicit, h-doujin in the Tsukihime section, thanks to Strange Grey Cat!

Couple of things I thought I'd ask you guys if you could help with too!

1)  Anyone have raws of Meakashi hen?

2) Anyone out there interested in translating Himatsubushi or Meakashi?

3)  Anyone have Type-Moon scanslations that aren't up on Gaku yet? 
(I remember noticing a couple h and non-h things floating around /a/ awhile back, if anyone could post rapidshares to whatever we're missing in the archives it would be much appreciated!)

Hope everyone's doing well, take it easy!

(~^_^)~
Aortic




UPDATE-OMG!

Today we're proud to bring you the seventh and final chapter of Oni Sarashi Hen!   Thought it was over did you?  Wait for it.

This is the second series to be completed by Gaku!

Huge thanks first and foremost to Kuma for putting in the time and effort translating all the notoriously verbose passages. 

Thanks also to Sterling for editing chapter 4 and to everyone at Animesuki who helped out finding the raws!  Without you guys and gals this couldn't have happened. 

m(_ _)m

I hope you all enjoyed this Higurashi arc as much as I did, here's hoping it makes it into the upcoming 3rd season!

~Aortic





Ahh, the UPDATE never ends!

And it's only like three weeks overdue! (Sorry!)

Lots and lots and lots of stuff and some suprises!  First of all, we have 6 TYPE-MOON doujins, all edited by Raenius and tled by Yozora, yay!

For F/SN:

Butterfly: More Dark Sakura aftermath.  She really is too hard on herself, so sad TT_TT
Shingakeppuchi: Saber apparently can't cook.  Hilarious antics (maybe) ensue.  Dark Saber?
Square Root Mitsuzuri:  If there is one thing this website has taught me, it is that Mitsuzuri and Rider go together.

For Tsukihime:

Badluck Vampire: Isn't it sad, Sacchin?
The Nanaya Rumors: Only Last for One Night: A few stories of pure hilarity.
Les Arts Martiaux: Akiha isn't really a great sister, it appears.

Here comes some other stuff!

First of all, Angel Notes.  I'm sure many of you have read it, but it's a Nasu written story about an Angel on Earth.  It is a wonderfully touching story, so please read it from the F/SN page if you get the chance and haven't.

Second of all, Kaleido Prisma Ilya.  We're talking TYPE-MOON Magical Girl Ilya.  What more could you want?

Third of all... Is that Umineko you see on the side bar?  Well, it just so happens that it is!  Yes, Gaku Gaku Animal Land is editing Ryukishi07's new series' manga, Umineko no Naku Koro Ni!  This chapter was edited by Sterling01 and tled by TheAceFrehley, but I believe I will be editing the rest, though not completely sure!

I'm really sorry I took so long, I hope the doujin load was worth it!  Oh, and Onisarashi-hen 5 and 6 are now on Tsukuru, sorry for laziness.

Finals this week, wish me luck ~(^_^~)
01/14/08
-Benny1





UPDATE-O!

Ch. 6 of Oni Sarashi out.  (~^_^)~

(Anyone else think they really need a Madoka spin-off?)

It seems the tank for volume one of Utsutsukowashi has also been released, so if anyone happens upon the raws on Winny or something let us know as I haven't seen anything past chapter 3 available up to this point!

Keep strong in the struggle...
~Aortic




Heh.


Oni Sarashi chapter 5 out! 

Thanks to Kuma once again for the wonderful translations, enjoy!

~Aortic




A lazy UPDATE!

Sorry for being a lazy bastard!

For TYPE-MOON, all F/SN, we have...

Archer Sakura - Archer and Sakura do some cleaning.  And so on.

Christmas Eve Manga - Rin and Archer centric webcomic.  Fun fun fun for the not so whole family!  But still worksafe!

and finally...

Alexandrite - Screw the main story.  The prologue and preview are the funniest things I have read in a good while.

All edited by Raenius with tls by Yozora!  Yay!

For Higurashi, we have...

Gorioshi-hen - My eyes have not recovered.

TL by TheAceFrehley, Edits by Sterling.  Yay!  But not yay for the doujin.  MY EYES.

Boring and unfun post for all!  I bid you goodnight!  Just make sure to keep checking gensokyo.org for Touhou updates!

~(^_^)~
~Benny1




A rather large UPDATE!

Have you noticed some small changes on the side?  Yes, Gaku Gaku Animal Land now releases Watanagashi-hen and Tatarigoroshi-hen!  However, these are not edited by members of Gaku Gaku Animal Land.  Rather, they are edited by The Higurashi Project!  Members include Yui Jegnan and Atashi translating Watangashi-hen, Emma translating Tatarigoroshi-hen, Vladimir Harkonnen editing Watanagashi-hen, Vladimir Harkonnen, CriCri, and Yakuri editing Tatarigoroshi-hen, and Gitami proofreading it all.  Thanks go to them for letting us release through GGAL and getting us even more visitors!

Chapters 1-4 of Watanagashi-hen have been scanlated and chapters 1-7 of Tatarigoroshi-hen have been scanlated.  More will hopefully come in the future!

Told you I had a suprise~
~Benny1




Another quick UPDATE!

Only one thing... I hope you'll enjoy it though!  Yoigoshi-hen (what a suprise hahaha) has been COMPLETED, making it the first completely scanlated Higurashi arc!  Meaning, chapter 13, the very last chapter, has been edited!  I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed editing it!  Translations by TheAceFrehley, edits by me!

Also, keep your eyes out for some more Higurashi stuff to come out of this website in the very near future.  Including, believe it or not, non side arcs!

-Benny1




UPDATE HOOOOOOOOOO!

Not much for me to post!  Another wonderful update for Yoigoshi-hen, of course, this time chapter 12! Have fun, this and the last chapter are ludicrously incredible. TL by TheAceFrehley, Edits by me!

Also, there's another NSFW Crazy Clover Club doujin, Type-Moon Complex 3, exploring Shirou and Rin's relationship.  And Shirou's need for sex ed, but that's old news. TL by Tremalkinger, Edits by Raenius!

More Higurashi in a few days! But not tomorrow, because I am uber busy!
-Benny1

~Ruka





A really overdue UPDATE!

Really overdue, if I do say so myself!

Chapter 11 of Yoigoshi-hen has finally been released!  Honestly, it's a kind of boring one, but the last two are grand, so don't worry!  What's going to happen as they finally leave the meeting house? Same awesome translator and editor as usual!

On a slightly related note, Himatsubushi-hen is currently on hold.  Sorry!

APUSH...
-Benny1

Nonetheless, I'm sure you'll enjoy and won't be disappointed.

Much appreciation for everyone involved in translating and editing.

In the near future, the Touhou section may be moved to a different site to allow for easier navigation, reading, and archiving.

- Trefle




Long overdue UPDATE!

Argh, I'm too slow, sorry.


Anyways, lots of updates, because I've been busy and not able to update, but no new Yoigoshi-hen, I'm way too busy, whee!
For TYPE-MOON, we have a batch of only F/SN stuff... almost.  Also, I've been working on this update for hours so the desctiptions are lame, deal with it (~^_^)~

TLs by Yozora, Rin, and Baiken!  Edits by Raenius!

Rider-Sensei's Plot Manga - There's a new teacher in the school, and you have 3 guesses to get who it is, and two of them don't count.

Beorc - How much does a flower really mean?

Down Memory Lane - Ilya gets to stay in Japan.  Just what happiness will she really find?

Mitsuzuri~sion - Ronpaia seems to REALLY like Mitsuzuri!

And... TYPE-MOON Complex X 01 - Everything is perfect in the F/SN world.  Which is exactly why everything is wrong.

Oh, and here comes a suprise!  We have a Higurashi Doujin, and there's more coming in the near future!  Thanks to a wonderful raw provider, we have a Higurashi doujin collection!  Released today is...

Nii's Tragedy - Keiichi is going to work if he wants to be called nii by Satoko.

Translations so far are by Tanin, edits by Arsen!  Yay!

I guess I can't think of a witty ending comment, other than Yoigoshi-hen soon!  Maybe Sunday, if I have time other than APUSH!
(~^_^)~
-Benny1




UPDA-PO! ξ•∀•)

It’s been a while, so we have 2 older releases and 6 newer releases for you today!

Clover and Promise and Sakuramochi were old releases but somehow never got properly archived until now. Thanks to Akuun, Cardcaptor, teru, and Trilkk for their work!

Now for the main event!
For today, we have Strange and Bright Nature Deity chapters 1-3 which picks up where Eastern and Little Nature Deity left off.
Join chibi Alice, Marisa, and Reimu in their first full doujin in Yago’s A!
See what all the fuss about abs is about in Wi-Z GARAGE’s Cho-Marisa!
And finally, a rare doujin centered around Chen in the complex tale of Neko.

Thanks to Cardcaptor, Mysterio006, Tanin, Nano, Arsen, and Trefle for their work!

Obligatory closing (~^_^)~.
~Ruka




Another UPDATE? This is ridiculous!

Another Higurashi one, in fact!  But this time, it's Onisarashi-hen chapter 4!  In the first chapter from the second volume, let's see what's happening at the house of Natsumi!
Edited by the really awesome Sterling01 and translated by the not so absent anymore and still just as awesome Kuma!
On another note, the chapter isn't fully uploaded yet, and I need to run off to school, I'll leave it uploading though because I'm awesome! It'll only take 20 minutes or so.

Even more excitement out of nowhere!
~Benny1




YOU WA SHOCK! Another Higurashi UPDATE!

Whee, another Yoigoshi-hen chapter is out!  This one takes place at dawn, outside.  It's a very inspiring chapter.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.  Edit as usual by the ridiculously fantastic me, and the super awesome TheAceFrehley.

So exciting~
~Benny1




*shocked* Another Higurashi UPDATE!!! (TYPE-MOON too!)

I really need to take a break or something, but I guess that's for after I finish chapter 13...

Well, of course, Yoigoshi-hen chapter 9 is out! This chapter isn't NEAR as depressing as the last one, so don't worry.  However, it's still pretty interesting, we learn a bit more about what the hell is going on.  Edited by the super speedy Benny1, and tled by the even speedier TheAceFrehley, who I remember the name of now!
Oh, and apparently while I made this update, a Tsukhime doujin, Brainwashing Trial H (not that kind H!) was translated by Lvlln and edited by Raenius. Nice!

Editors do their best now and are preparing. Please watch warmly until it is ready.

What a suprise, another Higurashi UPDATE

Wow, what a suprise!  Yoigoshi-hen Chapter 8 is out!  This chapter is really depressing.  Things really aren't as they seem in this village of the dead...
Edits by the incredible, fantastic me, and TL by the speed demon TheAceFrehley!

Excitement is building...
~Benny1




The UPDATES just don't stop!

What the heck!  Well, I decided to put the pedal to the metal and... Yoigoshi-hen Chapter 7(!) has been edited!  Mucho thanks go to the wonderful me, and the fantastic TheAceFrehley, whose name I still always typo.  I do apologize, there is a rather difficult to edit page at the start that remains, along with the magazine cover and an ad page.  I could've edited the page with Mion and the red text, but the sheer amount of effort is ridiculous, and it contains absolutely no story info, unless you are incapable of realizing it is chapter 7, but I guess it does say the time is 2AM on June 22nd, at the Assembly Hall, but I wander.

Anyways, there is one good reason why I didn't edit that page: I want to finish this arc in 6 days.  I hate to get your hopes up in case I mess up, but this is my goal.  If I place ridiculous goals on myself, I work well.  I might edit those pages later.

Well, I certainly hope you're excited

TYPE-MOON attacks from behind with an UPDATE!

Just when you thought the updates just might be over, TYPE-MOON shows it hasn't backed down!  For Tsukihime we have three new titles!

Beautiful and happy babump babump first date - More Hiroyuki Ren.  If Shiki asks Ren on a date, what happens?  Most certainly, Hiroyuki hijinks!

Pupils intoxicated by the Moon - Yay for Arcueid and Shiki.  How will Arcueid react when she, for the first time, notices snow?

Small witness - Kohaku breaks a vase, and tries to blame it on Ren.  Poor Kohaku can never escape Akiha's wrath.

And another Fate/Stay night title!

Carefree People - You really never can get enough 4koma.

Thanks go off to Raenius, Lvlln, Yozora, and Rin!  Sorry for my poor job filling in for Aortic's A+ wit..

I guess it is getting pretty exciting here!
~Benny1




Touhou UPDATE

~(^_^~) I'm busy,
says Aortic, so now we're left to try our best to fill the deficit of wit.
An impressive amount of content tonight:

Scarlet Devil - A bloody, savage Meiling crosses up with the young Lady herself. (Translated by Pilpsie, edited by Ruka)

I Like You - A persistent Reimu takes Marisa's role for once and runs away with Marisa's feelings! (
Translated by Tanin, edited by H.S)

Eastern Azalea in May - The dashing Marisa grants Alice's wish to win Gensokyo's hearts. (Translated by Pilpsie, edited by Halbarad)

Goth Mystia vs. Princess Wriggle - Everyone's favorite nocturnal duo hits the center of the spotlight.
(Scans by Kefit!,
translated by a nameless fairy, edited by Mysterio006)

The Moon and the Hourai Doll - Immortal lunacy. Also, if you lack vigilance, Ran will come take you away as a meal!
(
Translated by Pilpsie, edited by Jiu)

Red Sky of Japonesia (2nd Half) - It's always good to have a little love. Tough love is fine, too.
(Scans by Kefit,
translated by Solamarle, edited by Ruka)

Wriggle vs. SDM - Wriggle vs. SDM needs no fancy description. Maybe a "holy shit!" at 100pt font for good measure, but that'd be it.
(
Translated by melange and Pilpsie, edited by Jiu, Arsen, Madcat, and Ruka)

Going to Higan - Cirno attempts to sink Komachi's Titanic, but everyone knows the Titanic couldn't possibly sink to mere icebergs. Idiot!
(
Translated by Tanin, edited by Rint and Trick Master Mint)

Of course, appreciation for everyone involved goes without saying.

Obligatory closing (~^_^)~.
~Trefle




Oh no, not another UPDATE!

Yoigoshi-hen finally has another chapter uploaded, this one a fair deal longer than the last.  This is the last chapter of volume 1, thanks to yours truly, and the speedy translator, TheAceFrehley!

Don't get too excited!
~Benny1




HIGUPDATE

Check out the Higurashi Doujinshi page for Kimodameshi-hen.  It's actually an official one-shot manga arc (sort of equivalent to the Nekogoroshi anime) but I didn't really have anywhere else to put it.. >_>  Thanks to TheAceFrehley for the translations!

Take it easy all!
~Aortic




UPDATE-AU.. revoir!

A lot of great stuff for you today.

First we've got another Hiroyuki doujin entitled Ren's Picture Diary on the Tsukihime page.  Thanks to Lvlln and Yozora for the trans and Raenius for the edits!

Second we have a Fate doujin, Holiday Making, and  a Fate Webcomic, Fate Kindergarten, for your viewing pleasure.  Thanks to Yozora for the trans and Raenius for the edits!

And Joe is proud to bring you another Haruhi doujin, All-purpose Cultural Ryoko Asakura.

And finally we've got a couple of noteworthy Touhou things, Dangerous Pair and Seven Day Seven Color Monotone.  Thanks to Pooh Bear and Pilpsie for the translations and H.S. and Halbarad for the edits!

~Aortic




UPDATE-O!!

Yoigoshi chapter 5 out!  Thanks to Benny1 and TheAceFrehley again!

Slid all the Doujin World pr0n into the archives too.  (Watch out for the ones labeled futa >_>)




NOT an update.. oh?

I'm adding all the older Type-Moon stuff to the archives.  Please check to see if you have it already before downloading.  (you probably do)

m(_ _)m




HIDE YOUR LOLIS!!

That's right folks, Shiki's back, along with the cast of Doujin Work, in the new Gogi Power Hiroyuki doujin Bloomer-kun and Bloomerko-san and.  Thanks to Archerwannabe for the scans and Rin for the translations!

And we're also proud to bring you Gochi, featuring the familiar shrunken versions of the Fate characters performing various acts of mischief.   Thanks again to Archerwannabe to the scans, to Yozora for the translations and Ae for the edits!






First off, to Moogy, the wonderful human being who's offered to host all of our stuff for you, let me say on behalf of Gaku and all the fans out there:

m(_ _)m

I thank you from the bottom of my heart good sir.  May the roads rise to meet you and may the wind be always at your back!

PR0N?  IN MY GAKU!?


You heard right folks, it's our distinguished pleasure to bring you a doujin by the renowned Crazy Clover Club, Tsukihime Complex 3 RED.  It's not recommended you read this at work, in a computer lab, or anywhere other than a dimly lit room with the door locked.  Cause it's straight pr0n, at its finest.  Enjoy!  Thanks to a brave anonymous for the translations and Raenius for the edits.

We've also got chapter 3 of Utsutsukowashi-hen coming your way tonight.  Thanks to TheAceFrehley once again for the trans!  And chapter 4 of Yoigoshi fuckin done!! W00t, thanks to Benny1 for the edits!

Also, for those of you who don't frequent Beast's Lair, you'll find an interesting treat at the bottom of the Tsukihime page.  The Maid-san is a Witch, which Evospace translated and Raenius edited quite a while back, has found its way into our archives.  This early work by Type-Moon character designer Takashi Takeuchi sheds some light onto his fascination with  maids, and also contains some early sketches of Hisui.  Definitely worth a peek.

We've also got an eclectic new assortment of Touhou stuffs fresh off the presses, many of which focus on Gensokyo's more obscure characters, such as Akyuu and Komachi Onozuka.

Don't miss...
The first half of Red Sky of Japonesia.  Thanks to Kefit for the scans(!!), Solamarle for the trans and Ruka for the edits!
Having them, as opposed to not having them, is..., in which the credibility of Sakuya's boobs come into question.  Thanks to Pilpsie for the trans and Ruka for the edits!
Expectant Moon -Imperishable Night Rewrite-, with the Scarlet Devil Mansion taking on the moon-dwellers.  Thanks to Pilpsie for the trans and Halbarad and Trefle for the edits!
Chapter 2 of Inaba of the Moon or Inaba of the Earth  (we don't have chapter 1 so don't ask >_>).  These hilarious four-panels, half of which are in color, feature the indomitable moon bunnies.  (It is so hot. Every night ve have ze battle to keep ze bunnies from taking off all zere clothing.  Who knows, tonight ve may lose ze battle?)  Thanks to Pilpsie for the trans and Trefle for the edits! 
The positively hi-larious Comic Haiku Theater with more Ayu mischief. Thanks to Cardcaptor for the trans and Halbarad for the edits!
Magicannon's Reason, which has some breathtaking danmaku and a bloody spectacular portrayal of Marisa's spellcard "Final Spark".  (a very nifty credit page too <3)  Thanks to Pilpsie for the trans and Halbarad for the edits!
Memorizable Gensokyo, featuring everyone's favorite bitter little chronicler.  Thanks to Solamarle for the trans and Arsen for the edits!

Rock on everyone~




LULZ

Oh lordy.

And back to business.  To begin with we've got another glorious chapter of Utsutsukowashi-hen for you tonight.  Thanks to TheAceFrehley again for the translations!

We've also got some delightful Melty-Blood four panels for you, chock full of Sacchin, Sion, Warrachia and even Kishima Kouma.  The series is entitled Eltnam 4koma and can be found in the Tsukihime section.   Thanks to Yozora for the translations and Ae for the edits!

There are also three new Touhou projects waiting for you.  Fans of Patchouli's mysterious assistant Koakum should check out Happiness (in more of the Todd Solondz sense), if you're interested in seeing the inhabitants of the Scarlet Devil Mansion transformed into moeblobs pick up SAKU PACHU and if you're in the mood for some nekky Chen grab Hidamari.  Thanks to Pilpsie and Nietz for the translations and Jiu and Nietz for the editing!

Now if you excuse me I'm off to disrupt some innocent people's lives. 

   




UPDATE-O!!

Once again we've got a release that runs the full gamut!

First off, I'm elated to introduce another arc of Higurashi we're proud to be undertaking!  Since Mion is featured prominently in Yoigoshi, it seems only appropriate we bring you something with her charming (allbeit occasionally deranged) twin Shion.  Please enjoy chapter 1 of Utsutsukowashi-hen!

"A prequel to Meakashi-hen. Shion is sent away to the all-girls school, St. Lucia Academy, for confinement. One day, a male teacher's body was found in the school swimming pool and the first discoverer, Kōsaka Mizuho, is summoned to the chairman's office to report the details. Shion hears rumors about how Mizuho's grandmother is after Mizuho's life and the girl is taking refuge in the school, so Shion approaches the aloof Mizuho."

Thanks to TheAceFrehley for the translations!

Secondly we've got something from popular mangakas for both Tsukihime and Fate Stay Night.  Keikenchi has inked another gut-busting chapter of the Kohakuriko series for your viewing pleasure.  And for you nazi lolicons we're proud to bring you You Are the Master, the Servant is Me by Kalmia.  Thanks to Ae and Raenius for the edits, Rin and Yozora for the translations and EmagEvil for the scans!

And it wouldn't be a Gaku update without the usual juicy Touhou fare.  In Udonge's First Time everyone's favorite bunny-girl learns danmaku.  In No Climax, No Point, Not Even a Plot Marisa violates a dozing Reimu.  I'd also highly recommend Sougetsu-Tei enthusiasts check out the dramatic My Scarlet Devil Insanity, Unmoved By Luna.  It demonstrates a rather different style than is typical in Tei's previous work.   Thanks to Pilpsie, Mysterio006, Solamarle, Arsen, Melange and FallenAngelIV!

Dig it.
~Aortic         




HIMATSUPDATE-O

Some of you probably noticed the grammar was a little wonky in that chapter of Himatsubushi. 

We ironed out most of the mistakes, download it again if you'd like a little smoother read!

(Our apologies, we'll try to quality check our releases better in the future!)

 m(_ _)m

~Aortic




UPDATE-O!!

First off we've got chapter zero of Yoigoshi-hen for you!  Thanks to TheAceFrehley and Benny1!  

Secondly we've got 2 Touhou webcomics and three Touhou doujins for you! 

Check out the naughty Forbidden Love, the cheese-smoking Nyoro~n, the 32-bit Nostalgic Red-White, the double-d Data Collection Assault and the questionably appropriate Spring.  Thanks to Pilpsie, Rukaroa, Solamarle, Trefle, and H.S.

~Aortic




UPDATE-O!!

First, in honor of the simultaneous release of both the (full) Kagetsu Toya and the Melty Blood reACT patches, we've got some Type-Moon stuff for you!

Neko to Sacchin
on the Tsukihime page will be a joy for Satsuki fans and cat-lovers alike.   And for some reasons mangakas can't resist shrinking Rider.  They've done it again in Child's Pray,  this time to a more reasonable "younger sister" size. <3   Thanks to Yozora and Cypher-khan for the translations!

And speaking of elementary school fanservice, the Gaku Gals are proud to bring you the first chapter of the Higurashi prequel arc Himatsubushi-hen!!  Thanks to Parko for the translations and Ae for the edits!

We've also got some new stuff on the Touhou front.  But first I'd like to direct you all to check out Kawaii Heavens, where the first three Touhou things in the release came from!  You might be familiar with them from their work on the Fate Stay Night manga.  The KH staff collaborated with our friends at /Touhou on a couple of projects and said it was cool to archive their releases with the rest of our stuff.  So check out Butterfly Stereopticon, FLIPFLOP's Wolf Howls at the Sixteen Day-Old Moon and the Patchtastic Caramelibrary.  We're also proud to bring you the of the increasingly epic second chapter of the Silent Sinner in Blue saga.  And last but not least, we have an intriguingly shoujo-styled doujin called Touhou Kaiden Seven which reimagines the inhabitants of Gensokyo in a school setting.  Definitely worth a peek!  Thanks to Solamarle, Tanin, Arsen, Ruka, and Kawaii Heavens!!

Well, as Kate Winslet once said, "I'm fudding myself stupid and I'm bloody loving it!"  Night all!
~Aortic




Ahem..

Yeaaaaah, chapter three of Yoigoshi out.  Actually it was already out but linked as chapter two.   So chapter two out. 

>_>
<_<

Huzzah for TheAceFrehley!  Huzzah for Benny1!  Huzzah for scanslation!!

...>_<




UPDATE-O!!

We pulled out all the stops for this update folks. 

First off we've got another chapter of Yoigoshi-hen to satisfy your Higurashi cravings until the next episode of Kai comes out.  Thanks to Benny1 and TheAceFrehley for their continuing efforts!

Secondly we've got a zany Fate doujin entitled Flapper and a hi-larious crossover between Initial D and Tsukihime entitled Initial Dracula.  Thanks to Yozora, Ae and Lvlln for their hard work!

And last but never least, the dedicated folks from everyone's favorite imageboard have pooled their efforts once again to bring you a wealth of Touhou goodness...

Run don't walk to pick up
Alice Tear Letter
Silent Sinner in Blue
Flowers of Heaven
Grimoire of Alice
Silk Road Alice
Doll Suite
Unknown
Ataisai
Fishing
What's Your Name
Bon Festival
and Advent Cirno - Extra -

And I have to say, Unknown is probably my favorite Touhou doujin to date. <3

Thanks to Ruka, Tanin, Pilpsie, Mysterio, Arsen, ⑨, Solamarle, Pooh Bear, H.S., Benny1, Nameless Fairy and  Halbarad for their immaculate translating and editing!!! 

~Aortic
  




BACK IN THE USSA

Thanks to translating powerhouse that is TheAceFrehley and the editing virtuoso that is Benny1 we're very enthused to bring you the first chapter of the second side-story Higurashi arc, Yoigoshi-hen!!

(Also, if anyone gets their hands on less janky raws we'd be much obliged if you pass em our way)

(~^_^)~

~Aortic




ISN'T IT SAD KOJIRO?

First, we're proud to bring you the last two chapters of the Castko webcomic, the Visit chapter and the ? chapter.  Much gratitude to Yozora for the translations!

Secondly we've got a few tasty Touhou treats for you, including a doujin(?!) by Ishikiri!
Check out:
Phantasmagoria of Summer View
Dance of the Ghastly Butterfly
Mari-Santa
and the very intriguing Yama Paradise.
And on a non-doujinshi note, I'd highly recommend everyone in the states checks out Michael Moore's new film "Sicko" as soon as possible.  Don't be fooled by the "objective media's" smear campaigns about it.  This film contains information every American should be aware of.  Even if you disagree with his earlier work, the health care predicament transcends party lines.  The issue is moral rather than political, and it's wondrous there's even any argument over it.

Don't take any guff from those swine!
~Aortic        




WOOT!

Not an update, but it looks like TheAceFrehley is interested in translating both the Yoigoshi and the Utsutsukowashi arcs of the Higurashi manga. 

And we're talking with Ecchi Troopers about helping out with Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro.  All sorts of interesting stuff in the works. <3

~Aortic




SO I HEAR YOU GUYS LIKE HIGURASHI?

Considering the imminent approach of Season Two, I'd expect everyone's might have a hankerin for a little Oni Sarashi?  Tonight we're glad to bring you the prologue which closed out the first volume.  While it's only a taste, I'm sure it'll pique your appetite if nothing else.

And on a more substantial note, the Touhou team at Wakachan have been as hard at work as ever.  We've got over 400 pages of curtain-fire goodness for you tonight, with eleven new releases and three older releases edited at substantially higher quality.

These releases cover the entire Gensokyo spectrum, there's something for everyone and his grandma in this release:

Touhou 2nd Moe Tournament
One Day's Events
Scarlet Lines, Silver Luna Clock
Visiting Utopia
"Vivid" Gensokyo Girl's Photo Collection
SDM Bathtime
Offsetting Inferno
Flower Petal
Nonfiction in Silver
Though Life Isn’t Short, Fall in Love, Little Girl!!
Border of Phantasm, Border of Shrine

(re-edits)
Wanted! Hong Meirin
Moon Rabbit: What do you watch when you jump?
Phantom Light

Enjoy!

~Aortic








FATE-DATE-O!

A bunch of new Fate Stay Night action for you tonight. 

First I'm elated to tell you the eagerly anticipated Last Battlers is finally available!! (in two different versions since both Raenius and AE edited it >_>)  Feel free to shower them and translator Lvlln with your praises.

Second up we've got a pair of two part doujins.  Dipole Bloom celebrates some of the your favorite unsung Fate characters, including Ilya's maids, Karen, and the gorgon twins.  In Silver Sun Ilya and Saber fight over Shirou and the former flexes her green thumb.  Thanks again to Raenius for editing both of these and to Yozora and Lvlln for providing the wonderful translations!!

And finally, a bit of a blast from the past for you.  We've got three new chapters of the Castko webcomics!  (I believe we left off a few strips into the Servants arc?)

Lastly, assuming you missed the guestbook announcement, I recommend grabbing all the Type-Moon stuff that you can as the archives will go down (indefinitely?) by the 1st of August. 

(Unless someone else wants to host it?)
~(^_^~)

Our deepest gratitude to Joe for hosting everything until now!  You rock the casbah buddy.

Cursed Circlet
Nero's Crow

HARUHI UPDATE-O!

What?  You've got a fever and the only prescription is Haruhi oekaki?  Then we've got just what the doctor ordered in Everything For You

The one man army that is Joe has also brought you the very curious first chapter of Tsuruya-ke no Okite [IF] and the rather sexy Mayuge Izm and AsaNaga Project

Go wild, and shower him with praises if you're so inclined!  Next order of business is to update the Type-Moon stuff...

~Aortic




Drunken Update-jutsu!

Yeah, I hate Naruto too.  Shaddap! 

Well, my friend fixed my ailing computer so Gaku's back in business!  The last week or two sans internet has been rather hellish and I've got a lot of catching up to do.  The team at /Touhou/ have been going friggin gangbusters, so without further ado I encourage you all to dig in to the fruits of their labours! <3

A million thanks to Pilpsie, Ruka, Trilkk,  Mysterio, Tanin, Arsen,  Trefle,  Jiu,  Solamarle,  and Tetrominon for their valiant efforts bringing this update to you!

Apologetically yours,
~Aortic

*hic*





UPDATE-O!!

Well, the week of Touhou ended not with a bang but with a whisper you might say.

So this week, instead of spreading it out into bite-size chunks, you're getting the whole mouthwatering cookie!

I hope you choke on it!  ..choke with joy and goodwill that is!

(Hmm.. Wuthering Heights seems to be rubbing off on me.. >_>  Incidentally, Type-Moon fans might want to check that out as I have a strong suspicion Nasu borrowed liberally from its plot in creating the backstory to Tsukihime.)

Yozora, Amukunao, AnonyEditor and Raenius have been on fire the past fortnight, with many splendorous things to show for it.  On the Tsukihime page you can pick up the third delicious installment of the Kohakuriko series.  On the Fate page check out Variant Tabi Back Number II, Trouble at Einzberg, Hometown and a whopping four volumes of Childcare is War.  Dig it!

And we've also got more Touhou stuff for you than you can shake a stick at!  This update should, more or less, catch us up with the Touhou Wiki.
It contains some particularly exemplary Touhou material, including Tako, Dog-Sakuya, a plethora of hilarity and an overabundance of heated danmaku warfare!  Run don't walk (figuratively speaking) to grab:

Yuka VS Yukari
Immortal Wings
Together with Dog Sakuya
Mossarism
Touhou Fanbook vol. 6 - It Is Shiftless
Even If You Can't Spell "Benighted"
THE Cirno

Thanks to everyone involved!  You guys are a credit to the human race!

 ~Aortic

 




TOUHOh, thought I forgot again?

The week of Touhou is coming down to the final stretch folks, but we've got a bit more in the ol' arsenal.

Check out Spring Snow and Flowery Winter, Magical Coincidence and  Kirasame in Wonderland!

(And shower Pilpsie, Ruka, Arsen, Benny1, and Kefit with your undying love and adoration!  Thanks for your hard work guys!)




Guess the week of Touhou didn't include the weekend eh?

>_<
 
Four more servings of Touhou at your disposal!

Witches' Tea Party
Azunmanga
Neko Reset
Poisonous Apple and the Rainbow Jam.

Get em while you still believe in god

~Aortic




Ishikiri Friday!

What would a week of Touhou be without Ishikiri? 

So sit back, spark some indo, and take a gander at Inside the Scarlet Mansion, Keine Mokou's Tutor, Kourindou Business and Alice Sales.

~Aortic




Sougetsu-Tei Thursday!

Made it in the nick of time!  (at least if you're in my time zone.. >_<)  Enjoy Chimimouryou that Smiles at Midday and Waiting For You in the Gardens.  They're Hentai-Youmutacular.  Thanks for AC for the translations, Akuun and Gunarm Dyne for the editing and Survive for the raws!

~Aortic




Hole of Yago Wednesday!

Main Series
Hatsuyume - New Years Dream
Imperishable Night Sparrow
Sister of the Devil



And for all the Type-loonies who've been feeling left out the last couple days, today you're in for a treat.  Two Rin-tastic Fate doujins and another series of Tsukihime 4koma by the incomparable STEED!   Don't miss  Fate Britain (by Zombie Dogs <3), Formidable You and Variant Tabi Back Number!  The uninitiated may have noticed the above Realta Nua countdown picture and asked himself, "Who IS that fetching young lady?"  Well read on, and all will be illuminated.

~Aortic




Hirasaka MakoTo Tuesday!!

The madness continues!

A Yukari-centric doujin and an origin story of Sakuya?  Christmas came early this year folks!  Swing over to the Touhou page and pick up Gap Demon and Waning Gibbous Moon!

Enjoy!

~Aortic




A WEEK OF TOUHOU!

That's right, for the next week we'll be releasing an ample supply of Touhou everday. 

Today we're highlighting the predominantly 4koma stylings of mangaka Haniwa's Store!   Be sure to pick up Suika SuikaSmiling at the Sixteen Moonlit NightsExtra of the Wind and Wanted! Hong Meirin

And check back ever day to see what new Touhou treats lie in store for you!

~Aortic




UPDATE-MY-MOM!

Just about every color of the rainbow in this release.

For the Type-Lunatics let's begin by welcoming AnonyEditor to the scene.  He's been particularly productive the last week, editing piles and piles of great stuff for your reading pleasure! <3  On the Fate page you'll find Magical Girl Berserko, Relentless Saber, and Fate Maniacs (on a side note, I noticed a peculiar resemblance recently..)  On the Tsukhime page make sure to grab A Secretive Something and Tohno Family's April Fools Day Celebration.  Thanks to Lvlln, Yozora and Amukunau for the translations!  You'll also notice the Type-Moon pages have been set up a little more ergonomically, like the Touhou pages, with the new releases at the top to save you some time digging around.

If anyone recognizes the name/circle/website of projects which don't have an author listed please let me know! m(_ _)m
I'm hoping to arrange those pages by author in the future as well.   

Plus much gratitude to Yozora for undertaking the hellish task of translating the foreword and afterward of Shirou Must Die!  If you already downloaded it here are all of the new pages.  I believe it's got some other changes as well, so you might want to re-download it anyway.  Thanks to Raenius for the edits!

Joe also has some Haruhi for you!  Give All-purpose Cultural Yuki Nagato a peek!  (but not at work, it's got a little yuri in the middle <_<)  It should also be noted that this story takes place in same timeframe as the novel "The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya", so it might be a good idea to give that a peek.

And don't fret Touhou fans, you haven't been forsaken.  Rather, we have a fuckload of new stuff for your perusal, including two new things from both FLIPFLOPs and Tako!! 

Remichu!
Kaguya
The Yakumo Family's Suika
Winter of the Residents of Touhou Town
Spring of the Residents of Touhou Town
Moonlight Syndrome
and Charming Borders of Life

You could even consider this a Touhoverload? 

Thanks to the many generous multitudes at wakachan for their hardwork on these, including Pilpsie, Trilkk, Tanin, Arsen, Jiu, Tiger, CR, Sushi-Y, KennyMan666, Teru, Anonymous Bastard Fairy, Melange, Ruka and Madcat!

~Aortic




UPDATOUHOU!

Four Touhou gems for you courtesty of translators Pilpsie Cardcaptor and editors Ruka, Arsen, Jiu.

Enjoy Petite, Dress Up!, Sleepless Banquet of the Eastern Country and Akatsuki Summer Vacation!




UPDATE-O!

Rock Paper Scissors in the Fate section, grab away!  Thanks to Lvlln for the translations and Raenius for the edits!




Do you know Oyashiro-sama?

Yes, Hinamizawa!

Hello again faithful reader!  It's been a little while.  I've had an eventful week, so to speak.  I more or less spent the last five days in bed sick as a dog.  Man, I wish I had medical (or dental.. T_T) insurance.  Finally I just ponied up yesterday and went to a minute clinic to get some antibiotics.  Turns out I have strep-throat with a side of ear infection...  No fun.  Unlike our update which is loaded with win and joy! [/segue]

Nothing Tsukihime for you tonight, but we do have two servings of Fate with a little Kara no Kyokai for dessert.   For the main course you'll find Happy Birthday Archerko! and Money Ending on the Fate page.  You can thank Yozora and Lvlln for the top-notch translations and Raenius and me for the editing.  And if you've got any room left check out Rakkyo,  a brief series of 4koma by the same author as the Tsukihime ones, which intriguingly I've just realized is also the inspired mind behind Kara Empty (you'll see why pretty quick).

It should also be noted that we've revised Variant Tabi J.  It may or may not be complete, depending on if STEED decides to post more of the webcomic on his site, but editor Delta deemed it an appropriate time to update.  It's up to 18 pages now I believe.  Huge thanks to him for his valiant efforts!

And what would a Gaku update be without a steaming pile of Touhou goodness?  If you're one of the few, the proud, pop on over and grab three visual delicacies,  Crossing Rapids, Beauties of Nature, and Moonlit Coffin.  Thanks to Teru for the translations and Rukaroa and Arsen for the fine editing!

Stay strong in the struggle...

~Aortic






More Ren-tastic action

You'll find a short but sweet doujin entitled The Cat and the Lady in the Tsukihime section.  The raws were made of gutters and crooked, but the content's great.  Thanks to Lvlln once again for the wonderful translations! <3

~Aortic





UPDATE-O!

Another hueg update coming your way with a little something for everyone.

Let's start off with the plethora of Type-Moon goodies

On the Tsukihime page you'll find Can't Return to the Forest of Cats, which hilariously examines how the Tohnos adjust to the familiar Shiki's brought home, Dream of a Summer Night, in which Shiki is confronted with a difficult decision, and a delightful series of 4koma entitled Shiki's Sick Day.

On the Fate/Kara no Kyokai page you'll find Death Fate, an amalgamation of Death Note and the Nasuverse, and Kokuto of Heavy Sleep, a real treat considering the relative rarity of Kara material.

Huge thanks to translator Lvlln and editor Raenius for their ceaseless efforts! <3

And we also have two epic projects in color!!

On the Rozen Maiden page you'll find Doll's Maker 2, a visually spectacular anthology giving each doll it's chance in the spotlight.   Thanks to K over at Desuchan for the edits! 

And in the Touhou section you can grab the eagerly anticipated ( m(_ _)m ) Remily the Strange!   The art style is very original, and seems reminiscent of Western comics.  And for fans of Genocide Kitten's work, here are his take on a few other  popular characters.  Here's hoping he works on some Type-Moon stuff in the future!

UPDATE-O!

It's been a productive week for everyone here at Gaku.

First we've got loads of new Touhou stuff for you.  Specifically:
Touhou Fanbook vol. 3 - Feeling·Changing : Marisa In Wonderful Land of Love ♥
Touhou Fanbook vol. 4 - A World Without You: A bitter slice of Alice's love live.
Yakumo Household Account Book: Ran struggles to keep the collapsing finances of Yakumo family afloat.
Advent Cirno #0: This a book about Cirno's past; a book about their first meeting.
The Puppeteer and the White-Black Witch: After Marisa gets injured, Alice leaves her, afraid of what lies ahead for them. Can Marisa convince her to come back?
Dichromatic Butterfly: Marisa and Reimu get their freak on.  Freakily
Touhou Koumakyou Book 1: BADASS REIMU.  Epic Danmaku depictions.
Lunatic Girls: Imperishable Night (wacky) rewrite. With Star-Platinum and The World meme.
Seven Colored Master Spark!: Marisa and Alice sneak up to Scarlet Devil Mansion to steal books, but...

The Touhou page has also been split into "New Releases" and "Archives" which is arranged by author.  Hopefully this will eliminate a little of the confusion.  Thanks to all the kind souls at Wakaba for their hard work on all of these!

Secondly, we've got the third chapter of Oni Sarashi-Hen for you.  It's traumatastic.  <3

And thirdly we've got some Type-Moon goodies for you.
In the Kara no Kyokai section (on the Fate page) you'll find Little Sisters.  While it's equally focused on Akiha I put it there because we've got almost no KnK stuff and "Empty" was feeling lonely. 

And in the Tsukihime section you'll find two new Gogi stories from the character anthology, Love Love Ciel-Senpai 120% and Great King Panties and Maids and Apron Panties (>_>),  as well as the zany tale Coffee Break and the rather understated Just One Place.

Enjoy!

UPDATE-O 2.0

Another update so soon after that last ginormous one?  You're goddamn right!

First I'd like you to look to your left at the menu.  See it?  You're not having an acid flashback, there is indeed a Rozen Maiden page on there.  Interestingly enough before I'd ever heard of Touhou I migrated to their board looking for RM doujinshi to work on, but they are alas few and far in between and this is the first one I've had the pleasure of editing (thanks to Pilpsie's wonderful translations).  So without further ado I'd advise you all to hop over there and pick up She Likes Cats After All! by the esteemed mangaka Hole of Yago (who you might already be familiar with from the fine Touhou work he's been churning out by the boatload).

And while we're on the topic of Touhou, you'll also find a new breathtakingy illustrated doujin over their entitled Faster Than Light by mangaka Shou Hikawa.  Excluding Flipflop,  this is some of the finest work I've ever seen in a Touhou doujin, and that's no small accomplishment considering the wealth of material out there.  Hopefully we'll see more from this mangaka in the future~  Thanks to Ruka for the edits and Pilpsie once again for the fine translations! <3

And what would a Gaku update be without a little Type-Moon mayhem?  The prolific duo that is Lvlln and Delta have been on fire the last couple days, and they proudly bring you two new pieces of doujinshi hot off the presses.

On the Fate page you'll find Be Strong Archer-kun!, a wacky little piece parodying Dragon-Ball Z to some extent. 

And on the Tsukihime page a touching little vignette about everyone's favorite anthropomorphic loli entitled As Your Heart Desires awaits you.

If anyone makes it this far, I'm also wondering if anyone knows how to crack a PDF file?  I'm trying to retrieve some stuff out of one and get it into word format, if anyone knows a good way to do this let me know in the guestbook!

~Aortic






X-BOX HUEG UPDATE!!!!!!!

Let's start out with some introductions, as the Gaku snowball is growing larger by the moment. 

Not exactly new, but I'd like to officially welcome Cypher-khan to the team! He's the one responsible for translating all the wonderful Gogi Power stuff you've been seeing here lately.   Let's also take our hats off to Bun and Mysterio006, seasoned Touhou editors who've been kind enough to share their work with us!  And we've got high hopes for our new translator Parko who's planning on translating Himatsubushi-hen for us in the future.. <3

Incidentally, I still haven't got around to organizing the Touhou page by author so you'll find all the recent releases at the top.  Touhou stuffs:
Christmas Present
Higashino
White Rabbit's Long Night
Touhou Tan-i Nintei  Kyoukai
Touhou Byoubyoumu
Eastern and Little Nature Deity (chapters 0-3)
Moon Rabbit
Phantom Light
Meisou Jukkai-chi

Sweet christ that's a huge pile of doujin goodness!  But wait, there's more!

Gogi Power fans rejoice because this update is chock full of his stuff (with a healthy side of Emilya drawn by Himura Kiseki to further confuse you).

On the Fate page you'll find Plus-ko: Shirouko and Platonic Magician: Platonic Love!

And on the Tsukihime page you'll find At Most... and Love Song!

Grab away~

 




FUCK!
Eheh.. For some reason I messed up the link for "Defeat You at the Bamboo Forest" and had it going to an entirely different file.  Sorry folks, should be fixed now. m(_ _)m

update-o

One big thing and a bunch of little ones in this update.

First, from the Touhou front, a whimsical doujin entitled Defeat You at the Bamboo Forest.  This doujin is a sequel to Half-Beast Half-Ghost Strife Chronicle by mangaka Sougetsu-Tei.  Thanks to Adonic Meki and Tiger for the translations and Trilkk for the edits!

Next we have two brief but steamy Haruhi pieces courtesy of the Dewley.  The Adventures of Mikuru Asahina is a fun-filled side-story/omake which supplements the previously released Ra~men doujin.  There's also the deliciously risque  webcomic Bath Syndrom, which offers coed bathing at its finest.

Finally, three little things for the Type-Lunatics.  You'll find 4koma and Caster-Sensei in the Fate section and Watermelon Temple on the Tsukihime page.   These have all been done for quite awhile, but I was waiting to release them for various reasons.  (The first I'm pretty sure isn't complete, the second and third, while complete, are each part of a larger anthology.)

Well, looks like it's the witching hour.
Goodnight sweet princes and princesses
~Aortic




UPDATE-O!

Tonight we have an epic Fate Stay Night doujin, Shirou Must Die, penned by the very talented mangaka Kalmia and brought to you thanks to the diligent efforts of Yozora and Raenius!  This one will also be popular with the Touhou crowd, as it's full of plenty of cute-meido action. <3

(If anyone has the rest of the "puppy-Ilya" doujin by the same author please let me know)

Secondly, we have more Haruhi webcomics for you thanks to the one man army that is Joe.  In Let's Go Home Together the red string of fate seems to once again be uniting Mikuru and Koizumi, as has been the tradition in Yuuma's other works.   A new page has also been added to Safe Mode Nagato, grab it here if you already downloaded it.

And I finally got around to updating the members page.  Let me know if I'm still missing anyone.  Still no luck finding a Cardcaptor Sakura translator for those doujins Arlein wants to scan, let me know if you're interested!  In future news, it looks like Coffeeanon may well be translating Yoigoshi Hen for us after he finishes up a hectic testing period! 

Good night and good luck,
~Aortic




UPDATE-O!

Higurashi fans rejoice!!  For today we have the second installment of Oni Sarashi Hen available for your viewing pleasure.  Be forewarned, though, this chapter is definitely not for the faint of heart.  In fact, if your time zone is anything close to mine (4 a.m. >_>) you might want to save this disturbing chapter in the lives of these Hinamizawan expatriates for a time when the Sun is out.   Cause I guarantee it'll be haunting my dreams at least, when I finally cash in that is.   Huge thanks once again to Kuma for the phenomenal translations!

(And thanks to Klashikari and Gains for providing the raws!)

Also, as you might have noticed in this and the previous chapter that the sound effects haven't been translated.  At first I didn't think it was that necessary, and didn't want to double/triple the time between releases, but now I'm regretting that decision and planning to go back and do them and release revised editions of chapter one and two eventually.  Now as for future chapters, there are several ways we can handle SFX.  I'd appreciate your input on what route we should take, (redraw/margins/ignore/revise) check out this thread at Beast's Lair for a poll.

And Type-Moon fans don't despair.  Once again, courtesy of everyone's favorite Greek letter, we have a jolly good Fate webcomic penned by the renowned STEED.   Variant Tabi J is almost as terrifying as Oni Sarashi, but in an enjoyable way.   Let's just say it's funny-bone chilling.   Our deepest gratitude to LaC over at Danbooru  for the translations!

Also, if anyone can use winny I would really appreciate it if you peek around for the Bikko manga, which I believe is entitled Kesson Shoujo. (see the picture above).   And if there are any Cardcaptor Sakura enthusiasts out there Arlein has volunteered to scan a few of his doujins, if we can find a translator.

m(_ _)m


~Aortic




UPDATE-OH FUCK YEAH!!!!!

You heard right, in this monumental update we have something spectacular from both Tsukihime and Fate.

For the Tsukihime camp we have a doujin, translated by lvlln and edited by Delta, that should appeal to Miyako-fanatics and Kohaku worshippers alike.  How have we reached these drastically different demographics you ask?  Find out in China and Twin!

And fans of the Fate spin-off Sword Dancer will be positively elated to hear that, thank to Yozora's generous translation, we've finally finished editing the second episode of Sword Dancer II: "Red Showdown."  When I say we, I'm definitely not speaking in the kingly sense.  Rather, this doujin was edited as a team.  A wealth of assistance was provided by the good Madcat of wakachan.  Because we're fucking insane we actually redrew every hateful bloody sound effect in SD2.2 for your enjoyment! (T_T) 

Here's how it went.  When I started out editing I said I was planning to edit as many of the sound effects as I could , but that it might take a month.  Then Madcat emerged from the shadows and offered to go in and redraw them all for me.  Incredulous, I was like "Naw, thanks but I got it dude."  So all was going well when I hit a couple of biggies.  And after doing solid redrawing all over every page, for hours and hours, staring at something like this and this for words like  "fwoosh" and "collapse" I got a little lazy.  So I skipped em, as has been the tradition in the past.  Then, a little later, half in jest I suggested that Madcat edit the huge sound effects.  Shortly thereafter he posted these fucking brilliant edits, and subsequently edited most of the other "big guns" edits throughout SD2.2.  Gaze in awe folks, and perhaps donate your first-born to the allmighty Madcat.  m(_ _)m

I wonder how many people actually read this?  Give us a shout out in the guestbook if you enjoyed Sword Dancer II.2! It almost killed me and Madcat... X_X 

Also I just got most of the translations for Ch. 2 of Oni Sarashi from Kuma!  So that's on the not so distant horizon, though I might need a couple days to recuperate...


Also, here's a colored version of page 32 in Sis-Long-Legs from Z-Less's website! 

~Aortic






update-o

A little more glorious Haruhi action for you today.  Teh Dewley brings you a short oekaki piece entitled Summer - Umbrella, a charming story about how subtle gestures can be very telling.  For those of you unfamiliar with oekaki, they are images drawn (in paint?) with a mouse, so the art's going to look a little different from what you're used to..

Also, depending on when you grabbed it, you may not have got the omake which Joe recently added to How to Make Sweet Tea.  If you missed it, here are the three added pages.

(Oh yeah, southwestern flavor HC got me banned from /A/ for a little while) >_>

~Aortic




UPDATE-O!!

We have some great stuff for you in this update!

First, for Tsukihime-lovers, we have something comedically genius.  Sis-Long-Legs, painstakingly edited by Raenius and translated by the infamous Cruzz (whose scanslations introduced me to Type-Moon and doujinshi in the first place), is one of the most humorous doujins I've ever experienced.   I haven't laughed so loud in quite awhile (I think I scared my rottweiler.. >_>). 

Secondly, we have a Haruhi webcomic, How to Make a Sweet Tea, and a Haruhi doujin, Ashita no Mikuru, from the very talented Dewley!   For those of you who've been hoping for some hot girl on girl action, yuri~n luck! (zing!) 

View these doujins and webcomics at your own risk.  They're so moe you may very well die.



~Aortic




Progress Report:

Someone on /A/ asked when Oni Sarashi ch. 2 would be released.  Rather than the usual "when we're damn good and ready you fucking leecher! >:O", a mantra I was used to from SC, I actually considered it. 

I really can't say for certain.  Kuma's almost done with translations. 

Since (as far as I know) he's not translating SFX, and there's almost no redrawing involved, editing should be a breeze.  Chapter one (excluding the hellish color pages) was some of the simplest insertion I've ever done.  Assuming I can get SDII.2 done by the time I get the translations, and perhaps get the raws cleaned up in the interim, it shouldn't take more than a few days to edit.  

So no real time frame, just an idea of what has to get done before Oni Sarashi to reach you.  (~^_^)~

Meanwhile expect plenty of the usual goodness from Raenius, Joe, Trilkk and Delta!

Also, no promises, but it looks like CoffeeAnon (the person who translated the doujin Hajisarashi-hen) might be interested in translating Yoigoshi-Hen (the other  official side-stories!)  Let's hope that comes through.  I got a peek at the raws and they'll blow your friggin' mind out, as the very premise answers one of the most eagerly anticipated unanswered questions posed by the series thus-far.





UPDATE-OH SNAP!

You heard right!  Joe the Dewley, a one-man scanslation machine, has translated and edited three new megassa-fantastic Haruhi pieces for you!  And he had time to draw that amazing credits page himself!

m(_ _)m

Bow down to teh almighty Dewley, then head over to the Haruhi page to pick up New Year's Day, Tsurumiku and Safe-Mode Nagato!

And we didn't forget the Type-Mooniacs.  More Clover Club Craziness in the form of the second half of T-Moon Complex S, which contains two short Fate stories, Local Hero and Cockroach Panic, and a longer Tsukihime one, Prologue.  The latter is one of the wildest CCC doujins I've ever seen, which is saying a lot.  It explores what goes through Arc's head during the period between her dismemberment and her cheerful greeting of Shiki. While this half is slightly more focused on Tsukihime, it's pretty close page wise so I put it next to the other one in the Fate section.  Enjoy! (~^_^)~

~Aortic




UPDATE-O!!

This is a very special update, for two reasons.

First, you may remember seeing some STEED stuff from Cruzz awhile back.  Along with outrageously cute 4-koma (most of which is entirely devoid of dialogue) STEED has done quite a number of doujins and webcomics, only a smidgen of which has ever made it into English.  So naturally, I've always wondered if we'd have any STEED stuff at Gaku?  Delta has answered this question with a resounding "YES!"  This piece, Variant Tabi RX (the prelude to a larger doujin), was found by Delta on Danbooru.  Huge thanks to
葉月 and Haplo for the translations.   (It has characters from Tsukihime as well as Fate in it, but because Kohaku steals it I placed this in the Tsukihime section)

The second order of business is great news for you Tako fanatics.  (Who's not a Tako fanatic anyway?  Marry me Tako!)  Thanks to Pilpsie and Tanin's masterful translations we've finally been able to complete scanslation of Dog-Reimu and Marisa's Book - Komainu Set!  This doujin is comedically epic folks, trust me on this.  Tako is perhaps the most hilarious and creative mangakas on the doujin scene (you might remember "Touhou Rich Miko"? Same gal) and I'm very excited to bring you another of her works.

There also appears to be a Fate-centered Tako book out there, though I've only seen a page or two of raws from it, if anyone has come across it don't hesitate to post it at Wakachan!  (~^_^)~

~Aortic





UPDATE-O!!

The Gaku Gaku brigade keeps getting bigger and bigger! <3  Today I'd like to introduce Trilkk, who you may be familiar with from the Touhou imageboard.  He's the one responsible for the fine organization of the Touhou wiki and has also done quite a bit of editing (and translating!) of Touhou doujins and webcomics.  So without further ado, here's a huge pile of Touhou goodness courtesty of the double K, enjoy!

Shrine Maiden's Small Spring Search
Phantasmal Song
Ogre and the Ice Fairy
Ginko Nut
Half-Beast Half-Ghost Strife Chronicle
Crimson Lily Report
Beyond Rivals, Not Quite Natural Enemies

~Aortic




UPDA- TOUHOU!

A teensy tiny Touhou update-o for you today, courtesty of translators Trilkk and Tiger.  The incomparable Ishikiri has produced another masterful piece of hilarity entitled Ghost Pair, which we submit in English for your enjoyment.

Also, in case anyone hasn't been to the mangaka's website, check it out here.

~Aortic




UPDATE-O!

Firstly, I'd like to welcome editor Delta into the Gaku Gaku fold!  You can thank Delta for the wonderful Fate doujin Gorgon Double Flat, which I think you'll find goth-lolitacular.

I also finally finished up the fourth and final chapter of the Kara no Kyokai doujin Kara-Plus Empty, Twisting and Fujinon.  Hope you enjoy it, because editing those sound effects was positively hellish.. T_T

You can find both of these in the Fate section.  Go wild!

~Aortic





UPDATE-O!!

We've got a pretty sizable update for you today with a little something for everyone (except Touhou fans.. >_>).  First, for the smoked cheese connoisseurs, we have two Churuya-tastic Haruhi webcomics courtesy of teh Dewley,
Megassa Nyoro and Tsuruya-ke no Okite (inked version).  "A Rainy Day" has also been updated to include three more comics, if you already downloaded it you can get the new pages here

Secondly, we have the eagerly anticipated first chapter of Oni Sarashi Hen of the phenomenal Higurashi series.  Since this story takes place fairly autonomously from the other arcs, and only a handful of characters overlap, it's possible to enjoy it without having watched the rest of the series.  It's probably for the best to watch the question arcs at least though, as this first chapter will reveal a rather crucial plot point that isn't unveiled until around half-way through the animated series.  

Third, we have a few Type-Moon staples to your comic diet.  For Crazy Clover Club fans (which apparently are quite abundant) we have the first half of the newest volume, Type Moon Complex S - Hero, centered upon Archer.   Secondly, we have an intriguing crossover called Fate Gakuen Alternative featuring the characters of Fate Stay Night in the environment of a manga called Makai Gakuen.  I have no idea what the hell that is either, but check it out.  You won't be disappointed.

~Aortic





NOT AN UPDATE... OH?

Joe is my god.






UPDATE-O!!

Today is a two for one, or perhaps a one for two if that's how you look at it.  Two doujins for you, one from Fate and one from Tsukihime.  One of them, Today's Number One, not unlike the last two updates, is by Gogi Power Hiroyuki.  The other one, One Day!, is not by anyone I've seen before.  Perhaps you wonder where to find them?  You'll find the former one in the Tsukihime section and the latter one in the Fate section.  In the first everyone's favorite moe moe meganekko has finally won a shot at her own anthology.  In the second, the cast of Fate demonstrate that once in awhile even they have to kick their feet up and watch some fireworks in yukatas.  Enjoy!

(I think writing that rant gave me an acid flashback...) (~@_@)~

~Aortic





UPDATE-O!

We have two short ones by Gogi Power Hiroyuki (of "A Cat is Fine Too" infamy) for you today.  The first, Naked Blood, wins the "Most Uncomfortable While Editing" award from me.  In the second, Medicine, Shiki concocts a cockamaime scheme to turn Hisui moe.  Enjoy!  Thanks to Haru and Cypher-Khan for the translations!

Also, today's the day to vote for Oishi in SaiGAR if you intend to. (~^_^)~

~Aortic




UPDATE-O!!

While I was stumbling around drunkenly celebrating 22 years of bacchanalian mayhem Raenius and Kempo have been very productive, scanslating another phenomenal batch of 4komas by the infamous Lemlaml entitled Neighborhood-Servant Revelation 2!

You might remember Lemlaml was also responsible for those fantastic Tsukihime webcomics we worked on in the past.  (I believe all that's left to scanslate are the Hisui and Arc chapters)  And for those who say we never finish stuff, well... we still haven't finished this either, but we do have another two parts to the Kara no Kyokai doijin "Empty", Showdown and Decisive Battle, which you'll find at the bottom of the Fate page.  These were also painstakingly translated by the Kempcatholic of Beast's Lair!  It looks like they'll be animating Kara in the form of a feature film.  There isn't much information available so far, but this definitely looks very promising.   Coupled with a second season of Higurashi, this could make for a very entertaining year!

Also, for all the Higurashi fans out there, don't forget to vote on the 18th for Oishi ("Mr. Delicious") in the SaiGAR tournament!  I doubt he can survive against the competition, but I'd love to see him make it to the next round.  Oh, the Oni Sarashi project is progressing nicely.

~Aortic




UPDATE-O!

What?  Another Touhou doujin?  You heard right.  We're proud to bring you the first segment of Daydream, an explosive story chronicling the dream match-up of Remilia (loli vampire, final boss of Embodiment of the Scarlet Devil) and Yuyuko (slothful spirit, final boss of Perfect Cherry Blossom).  This scenario assumes that instead of sending Sakuya out to fix the spring situation Remi took matters into her own hands.  The artwork is breathtaking. Thanks to Tiger of Wakachan for providing the translations!  Enjoy!

~Aortic

Daily SaiGAR comment: Yesterday I was happy to see Shikamaru come out ahead with a pretty strong lead.  He plays go, which gives me a soft spot for him.  Somehow tonight they're pitting Nagisa Kaworu from Evangellion against Wolfwood of Trigun.  Seems a tad unfair.  Kaworu puts the "gar" in "gay-dar", he has no place in this tournament.  I'm also wondering how Harima Kenji will fare against Rock Lee (unibrow) of Naruto.  Narutards are strong, but I suspect Harima's unabashed badassness will secure him a victory.







Edit: in case you've already downloaded this, there was a slight change on the 14th page, to "created spirits for her sisters".  Grab the updated page here.  The file in the archive is updated.

UPDATE-O!


I know you Touhou fans must have been feeling left out lately, with so much of the other stuff projects being released in the past couple updates.  So here's something very special for your enjoyment.  We Are Prismriver, by Amamizu (whose previous work "Commander! Please do not use the slow-movement rapid-fire button!" you're probably intimately familiar with), has a much more somber tone than other work I've seen of his.  I can say, without exaggeration, that--plot-wise at least--this is probably the finest doujin I've had the privilege of working on.  This is The Notebook of doujins people, so break out some kleenex before reading it.  (That's not what I mean you degenerates! >_>)  Though Leyla's ahoge is nothing short of adorable.

(And for all of you who still haven't checked out the Touhou stuff, you're really missing out!)

Oh, don't forget to cast your vote to support your favorite Type-Moon and Higurashi characters in SaiGAR.  See above for more information.




UPDATE-O!

Another whimsical Fate doujin for you, Girl's Day Out, edited by Raenius and translated by LegacyZero.  It's so moe you're going to die.

Also, we'd like to welcome translator Kuma to the team!  




UPDATE-O!

WOO-HOOO!  Looks like Kuma's interested in translating Oni Sarashi Hen!! ~(^_^~)  (~^_^)~  *Much rejoicing*

On to the releases.  First we have Night of the Tatari, a hilarious Melty Blood themed piece edited by Raenius and translated by the wonderful Lvlln.

Secondly we have two slightly abridged shorts from the first volume of a rather spectacular anthology entitled Moon Ecstasy, A Maid's School Festival and Smile For Me, both translated by the magnanimous Yozora of Wakachan.  The first is centered upon Hisui, the second on Arc. 

Also a little Fate one that we'll SABER HAET GAME SYSTEM! as someone at Waka so aptly dubbed it.

Enjoy!

~Aortic




UPDATE-O!

In this release, as promised, we have some Higurashi doujin goodness for you.  This one, entitled Hajisarashi-hen, I stumbled upon at the Higurashi imageboard (called "USODA!" XD) which I've recently discovered.   It was originally translated and edited by Coffee Anon, I merely re-edited it with a little higher quality (twas his first attempt at editing.

We also have something fantastic from Raenius and Lvlln, Moon Princess, which features the Tsukihime gals cosplaying as Sailor Moon characters. >_>

Thanks to some generous folks at the Animesuki forums we were able to obtain the raws for Oni Sarashi, the two volume side-story arc from the official manga.  I've started cleaning the pages up, so now all we have to do is find some translators....    .......     .......   m( _ _ )m

If you're interested in helping in any way  learn more about  the it here or dive right into the first chapter here!  Even a page or two is enough.  (If ten people translated five pages each the chapter'd be done!)  Thanks!

~Aortic




UPDATE-O!

Hope everyone had as great of a Christmas as I did.  Feels like I've been eating delicious food for four days straight. <3

Huge thanks to editor Raenius and translators Archerwannabe, Lvlln and Baiken, who've have put together a few more fun-filled things for you to enjoy over the holidays.  First a short but sweet Fate piece called Falling Asleep centered upon the popular theme of "find the protagonist sleeping and snuggle with him."  Secondly, Love of Tears, a wonderful Tsukihime story about Sacchin's adventures with a love-love umbrella.  Also a little Gogi Power one entitled Female Teacher Arcueid's Special Class.  And lastly, and most notably, Bad End 5, translated from a Korean translation for your reading pleasure.  There have been a lot of Bad Ends floating around over the years, it's great to finally be able to enjoy one in English! (~^_^)~

Oh yeah, almost missed Naka Kao Hi, which contains perhaps the sexiest portrayal of Rider I've seen yet.

Happy holidays all!
~Aortic

P.S.  Everything from the Christmas update is up for direct download thanks to Joe.  Someone posted in the guest-book that the version of Sword Dancer II they downloaded was in Japanese.  Don't know how that happened, but it really shouldn't have been.. >_<   The version that's up now should be the right one, sorry about that.




Edit 2:  In case any of your Christmas wishes involved the afterward of Sword Dancer II getting translated, a helpful elf named Yozora has brought something with your name on it.  Version three should be up in the archives soon, and here's the extra page if you already downloaded it.  

Edit: Whoops, looks like I released MoeMoon a little prematurely.  Just got the translated introduction done now thanks to sevens, get it here if you've already downloaded it, or download the revised zip from the archives. 

UPDATE-HO-HO-HO

We've got some great stocking-stuffers awaiting you in the archives this year.

Firstly, you'll notice that there's a new Murder Princess section on the menu to your left.  MP was a pet project of mine over at SnoopyCool.  I finished the third chapter like two months ago, but as it doesn't look like it'll be released anytime soon I'm taking the initiative.  Not sure if you'll see anymore in the near future, depends if the wonderful Okage  feels like doing any more translating...  (Think of it as a joint project of sorts)

Secondly, we have our first
Kara no Kyokai project, the first story -Reunion- from the doujin Kara-plus: Empty.  There are a few more stories which follow it, which you might see here in the future.  Who knows.   (Kara no Kyokai is the novel which served as a prototype for Tsukihime, find out more about it at the Moonlit World)

Thirdly a few Fate goodies.  We have the eagerly anticipated second volume of Sword Dancer by the very talented Himura Kiseki to start with, which I must say is frigging wild.  (You'll find a link in the archives to the first one in case you haven't read it).   You'll also find another glorious Okota doujin, MoeMoon Night, this one centered predominantly upon Fate.   Finally, Versus by
Mashin Eichirou (author of Ciel vs. Mech-Ciel), centered upon the Fate stars of track and field, will no doubt bring you an abundance of holiday cheer.

So have yourself a merry christmas, a happy hanukkah, a krazy kwanza or a solemn secular holiday.  Hail satan!

UPDATE O!

What?  Haruhi stuff at Gaku Gaku?!  You heard right. 

Joe teh Dewley (who's been generously hosting the Type-Moon stuff <3) is passionate about the series and possesses a strong grasp of the Japanese language as well a knack for editing.  Enjoy these three wonderful Haruhi webcomics he's translated and edited.

Human-Rabbit Came to Make a Visit
Asakura vs Tsuruya
A Rainy Day

(and if you haven't seen the series go watch it right now!)

Also all the Type-Moon stuff should be hosted for direct-download, so all of you rapidshare-haters enjoy! <3

-Aortic

Oh yeah, check out this awesomeness drawn by Orochi Herman over at Wakachan.





UPDATE-O!

More Touhou stuff coming at ya. (Duck!

We've got a wacky story about the Prismriver sisters to start with: Prismriver--Bonded by Love.  These musicians from Perfect Cherry Blossom were some of my favorite characters from the game itself.  Yet sadly, their appearances in doujins are pretty few and far inbetween.  Thanks to Solamarle for translating!

We also have another one by the very talented managaka Flip-Flops, Akyu's Toxic Diary, centered around Akyu, a human child who doesn't appear in the games themselves but is featured prominently in the Touhou mythologies.  Our deepest gratitude once again to Pilpsie for the translation. 

Oh yeah, no one's posted any Higurashi stuff yet... T_T
 (You could also email it or yousendit to me at AorticNomenclature@yahoo.com)




UPDATE-O!

In this update we've got something for Final Fantasy fans and something for Touhou fans.  And it's the same doujin! 

The fairly sizeable story is called Advent Cirno, beautifully penned and illustrated by One Night Stand.  Also, for Ishikiri enthusiasts we have the Main Series in full, which has been running in parallel with the shorter stories for quite some time.






UPDATE-O!
Huge thanks to Joe for hosting our past Type-Moon releases so youse guys who can't use rapidshare can enjoy them.  The newest release is still in that format, but we'll try to get that available for direct download soon as well. 

Also, in case you haven't noticed, all the Touhou stuff is DD as well. Our deepest thanks to Icywindow for that.  <3 You make the rockin' world go round.

Been a little while.  I've been busy working on my college application to the University of California, wish me luck!  Had to hijack my little sister's laptop (with lightning fast appropriated wireless connection) to get this release to you.  Thanks to bloody Comcast giving me internet so slow I can't upload single images on wakachan I've been more or less without internet for awhile now... T_T

But on to the goodies.  Most of this obscenely huge release is Fate stuff Raenius edited awhile back:
A Day in the Life of Karen-San
A Short Break
A Strawberries Manga
Bravery
Calorie Mate
Delusion Heartbeat
Gilgamesh vs. Rin
Glorious
Hinata no Yume
Itsuka me Beibe~
Mougen Tasha
Pale Pink Wind
Pregnant Servants
Schuldigkeit
The Holy Food War
Victory or Defeat
Watermelon Splitting Contest

I'd also like to welcome new translator Haneko to the team!! <3

Haneko was responsible for the fantastic translations of Spicy Days, which is also available here for the first time.  And if you liked Kohakuriko, don't forget to grab the sequel Kohakuriko 2 which you'll also find in the archives.

Cheers you bastards. (~^_^)~

UPDATE-O

In this release we've horded quite a pile of booty for the pleasure of you buccaneers.

[Touhou] Yagokoro Laboratories II
[Touhou] Two Snowmen
[Touhou] The Casket in Stardust
[Touhou] Snowdrop ~Winter's Gift~
[Touhou] Eternity/Akizakura
[Touhou] Evening Primrose -Free Heart-
[Touhou] I am a Gate Guard
[Touhou] Love Indian Dolls
[Touhou] Touhou Summer Dream Sketch

I was planning on staggering the release, and sending these out a few a day for a week, but thanks to Comcast's janky connection (since they bought out  Roadrunner I've had working internet at the most 5 days a week) I'm gonna do it all at once.  Thankfully I already rapidshared them when I first uploaded everything.   Hope you Type-Moon fans are checking out the Touhou stuff as well.  It's guaranteed to rock your socks of! <3

Tou hou hou and a bottle of Rum~

UPDATE-O
Looks like I underestimated the amount of bandwidth this would take up.. >_>

Almost 3000 hits on the first day got my free account frozen, so I paid $5 for another pile. (Plus this should get rid of those pesky advertisements.)

Today, we have a wealth of Touhou goodness for you.  In the Archives you'll find all the stuff we released at SnoopyCool, which were only available in hard to track down torrents and on IRC, plus a new doujin entitled Variant Youyoumu which I recommend all of you new to the Touhou series check out.

It more or less manga-izes the game Perfect Cherry Blossom--up until the second-to the last boss that is--an amazing carpet-scrolling shooter which has since been translated into English and you should all be playing.  (It's hard as fuck though, I played it for months before I got a good ending on easy.. >_>)

I was introduced to  Touhou through doujins at wakachan, before ever playing the game, so there's no reason to think you can't enjoy the amazing characters and fascinating setting through scanslated doujins and webcomics as well.  If you want to learn more about the Touhou series, check out the Touhou Wiki, which you'll find a link to in the "affiliates" section.

For all the devoted Type-Moon fanatics we also have Sakurasiki by masterful editor Raenius and ninja translator Baiken! <3

Get em while they're hot!




UPDATE-O
Happy Thanksgiving all! 

This year, among other thing, you can be thankful for some doujin goodness to complement your delicious meals! <3

New Fate items include I'm Living In my Fairy Tale, Matou Family House, Lancer-ko, Emiya Saga, and Heaven's Failure.
