Thanksgiving 2009 marks the end of our hiatus?

November 26, 2009 - 8:11 am 25 Comments

…or at least I hope so. If we were to compensate for our absence we would have to compensate for…. one, two, three… *counts* ELEVEN weeks without any releases at all. That’s a lot. And I don’t think we have so many releases in store for you now… But I think we will try to compensate our hiatus to you bit by bit every week from now on.

So, for starters:

Happy Thanksgiving!
Hatsukoi ni Oboreta ch02
Hatsukoi ni Oboreta ch03 – and this chapter ends Hatsukoi ni Oboreta :) hope you enjoyed this series! ^^
Hana to Akuma ch10 – we’re finally dropping Hana to Akuma with this chapter. There is really no point in wasting our time on next chapters since they have been already released. Well, at least we will have more time for our other series :) I am aware there is no HQ release of ch02, but I’m afraid we don’t have it anymore, so we are unable to release it. But the LQ version is not bad.

fresh from the oven:

  1. next chapter of Bokura wa Itsumo is on it’s way :) and in HQ! We’re putting this project as priority now :)
  2. ch01 of Amai*Suppai*Horonigai (the last one) and ch03 (final) of Strawberry Kiss are the priority now, so they will be released soon as well (and two more projects completed, whew!) After them I would like to focus on Kinkyori Renai and push the series forward as well.
  3. We’re doing a very… complicated *cough* joint on Number, and after we release v02 we will hand this project over to our friends who are very interested in working on it :) hope it will speed up the releases for you!
  4. Antique Romance is once again being worked on! We had problems with HQ raws, but now everything is back on track :3 so, more AR soon as well :3
  5. We’re dropping Hana to Akuma, Shout! and Shounen AR. No one seems to be interested in working on these, so no use in blocking the projects. If any group wants to continue after us, feel free to do so! =D And if no one will be interested in Shout! or Shounen AR, we might go back to them once we’re done with other, more important stuff =)

Finally, I would like to thank to all readers and staffers, who supported OT during these long months of absence on the scanlation scene. You really are the light of my day, thank you for all the encouragement, for help offers, for simply sticking with OT even when we don’t release :) This really means a lot.

    Thank you for completing Hatsukoi ni Oboreta, I have been looking for the raws so I could see how it ended, but now I can see the ending.

    I’m sad about Shout I liked that one, hopefully it will get done somehow some way.

    Thanks for all your hard work, keep on keepin’ on!

    But thank you for Hatsukoi ni Oboreta ^^

  18. Anya Says:

    finally back, ne? ^^ Thanks for Hatsukoi!!! I think we all want you guys to be active even if its with very little release. It doesn’t matter (at leat for me) that you have to release a lot, its good even if you release only one chapter in 2 weeks. We only hope that if you’re going to stop again, you want to tell us so we don’t think bad (and get in panic like someone did T_T)… that’s all, nothing to be angry about ^^
    Thanks for your work ^^
