New website, new release archive, but the same old group. So obviously we have a new website. The outstanding gentleman who hosted the old website has been out of contact for a while and the server that hosted the website seems to be down or gone, so we are moving on. This website is going to be really bare bones, since I know all you guys care about are the links. That means posts aren’t going to be tagged or categorized in any way. If a person wants to find old releases, I expect them to use the Release Archive. Besides, I don’t usually post anything interesting here anyways.

In addition to the new website, we have the sad news that Batoto shut down. But, if you’re an online reader those aggregator sites are tenacious and this chapter will probably be up soon enough (they used to just scrape off Batoto). I was so used to uploading chapters to Batoto to really get them out there, so the loss of our old website and the loss of Batoto in such close succession was a double whammy for me.

To commemorate the new website I’ve done a bit (really tiny bit) of fixing of old releases. The color pages in Konobi chapter 1 have been fixed so the colors should be a bit more vibrant, as we originally intended. I’ve also fixed one of the pages in the first chapter of Saito-kun. I had forgotten to include the part where I removed some Japanese text. And to top it off, there’s a new chapter of Konobi!

Konobi 58

Konobi 1v2

Saito-kun volume 1 (includes updated chapter)

Please let me know if any of the links are broken or get nuked. A word on the quality of recent Konobi chapters: The place I rip the chapters online changed their DRM/protection method, so the way I originally ripped chapters no longer worked. That’s the reason why 57, 58, and 59 (should be ready in two or three weeks) are so small; I was taking screen shots. I’ve recently found a new method for ripping chapters, so starting with chapter 60 they should all be back up to a decent size.

Some miscellaneous information:

Release Archive: I condensed the release archive down a bit. Instead of individual chapters I tried to bunch the old released into groups of 6 to 10 chapters to make catching up with releases easier. Each grouping is just a zip with the individual chapter zips in it.

Group size: As I’m writing this, Muda scans consists of only two members. We could use just about every position, but most important would be a translator (mostly to double check my work, it’s pretty rough) and a redrawer. No new people are required to get releases out the door, but they might help speed things up.

Upcoming releases: We have a few chapters of Hokenshitsu no Shinigami ready to be checked over for release. I hope to get to that this weekend. If I get some more free time I would love to finish the last volume of Koetama. It feels wrong to leave it with only two of the three volumes finished. I had a rough translation of the next chapter done, but it will probably need to be completely reworked. If we get more members there are some other projects that I would like to work on, but for the moment we are just going to focus on catching up with Konobi and HnS.
