Progress Report 04-30-20

Tags: #general #BokuWata

To be up front with it, I've hit a low point recently. Between not sleeping well for like a week and really feeling the effects of quarantine hard, I haven't had the mental energy needed to work through translation stuff. I've felt guilty about it, which makes me feel bad, which demotivates me, which makes me not work... It's a vicious cycle. If you follow any of my personal social media accounts, you'd know I've been filling the hole in my soul with various yuri manga which, although enjoyable, has been bad. I've read 13 different yuri series in the past 5 days and followed two new mangaka on Twitter... Totally healthy...

But anyway! Update on Chapter 8... I've finished the translation on the actual chapter (save for like 2 panels) and all that's left to do is the afterword and the thanks page. The afterword is, well, wordy and will probably take a full day to knock out. The thanks page won't be too terrible, except for all the kanji for names (kill me). I stand by that after I'm done with chapter 8, I'll be releasing my own chapter 1, however past that is a big unknown now because...

The group that had seemingly abandoned Kagitsuki Terrarium put out a new chapter within the past week or so. I assume this means that they'll be getting back to releasing that? Honestly, it's for the best. I was very excited to start working on that series, but as I had mentioned before, the level of redrawing that the series deserves is not one that I could do myself. I'll still be reading that on my own time, and who knows, if they seem to drop it again, maybe I'll crank out a chapter or two to keep the momentum going.

In any case, I'll be keeping an eye out for more series to pick up from here on out, and when I've made a decision on a new series, I'll announce it here.
