NETORASERARE - CHAPTER 21 - PREVIEW


Hey guys, here's a tentative translation based on the preview posted on Konomi's blog.

I was quite surprise when I got home I see this steamy page of
Haruka and Shuujirou passionately making out. 

I wouldn't be surprised that they have some form of "make up sex" in this chapter.

Shuu... seems to be really into it; he doesn't seem to be all mechanical about it.
Haruka's wedding ring is back on so... I guess all is well?

Can't be... we'll just have to wait and see.

What do you guys think is gonna happen?

***UPDATE 11/01/2015***

Won't have it picked up until Monday before the post office closes.

***UPDATE 10/30/2015***

("Do-" can also mean laughter.  I have no idea of the context of the panel but, if the summaries online are true that Shuu is trying to deflect accusations about his wife as a joke then it's his colleagues laughing )


Took a break from the convention and saw that a new panel was posted.
Quickly translated it and now I'm heading back to the convention.
Order has made it to the states here and most likely be delivered tomorrow.

SHIPPING UPDATE: Damn courier didn't leave it on my doorstep and now it needs to be picked up at the post office. I'm seeing if I can send somebody over there to see if they can pick it up for me.  If not, hopefully I can leave work early Monday to pick it up before the post office closes.

***UPDATE 10/28/2015***




It's been shipped.



Trackin' # issued (left out here of course).



So... it'll come in while I'm gone (yeah I got someone to nab it while I'm gone).

If anyone gets new previews or pages from the chapter, feel free to e-mail them to me.
Could help give me a jump start translating.

I did take a peek of supposed summaries... I dunno what to think...
certainly it'll build up to something.
I do feel this can't end well but how I have no idea.
If the third volume of this is suppose to run 7 chapters then by my numbers
this should end at chapter 25; so 4 more left.

NAMAIKI December Issue



Greetings and Salutations,

Out of curiosity I checked to see when the December issue of Namaiki~ will be released
and to my surprise it'll be one week from now. 
K-Slice and myself just put in our orders after work just now. 
Personally I'm lookin' forward to see what chapter 21 could be about
and I'm sure all of the readers out there want to too.

However that might have to wait because when our orders make it to
our side of the world it's highly likely I won't be in town. 
I'm attending an anime convention the last weekend of October. 
IF I get the order in before I head out the day before the convention,
I'll read it and take quick snap shots of the chapter so
I can get started on the translation rough draft.

I'm not driving and it's over 100 miles to the island
that this anime convention will be hosted. 
During the car ride I'll script the chapter and for the rest of the night
I'll be translating it while I'm chilling.

Nonetheless I will work on it as much as I can Nov. 1st (Sunday). 
Again, this all depends IF I get it BEFORE I head out. 
If not then I won't be able to work on it until I return back later that Sunday.

I dunno about you guys out there but for me going to conventions
like this is a bit of a vacation of sorts. 
With that in mind I'll be in "pleasure before business"
so my focus will be having fun.  It'll probably be the last one I attend
for a while because the next big one I normally attend won't be until
the time I should be in Japan hitting the pavement so...
I'm looking forward to this one.

CHAPTER 20 HQ LAYERS


Alright guys, here's the HQ ENG layers.
All you have to do is use something like Photoshop or Gimp and load
which ever page and copy/paste/load our ENG layer over it as a top layer. 

You'll have to adjust it by moving it left or right a bit but it should match-up fairly well.
Gimp, for some reason, only saves in its' proprietary format, ".xcf" unless you export it.

So I recommend Irfanview to convert this, and .PSD (PHOTOSHOP),
to whatever image format you want. Check out the Batch mode feature. 

This should go without saying but these should be for personal use only. 
If you post a married version based on our ENG layers
then you're on your own if any vengeance falls upon you; but not by us.

You can nab the layers HERE.
It's about 2MB zipped and 209MB unzipped, enjoy!

Oh yeah...


Nice to see the Korean team using our release for theirs but I guess it can't be helped...

Additionally...
I'm working on a solution for a full HQ ENG release.
We might not see this until next week if time permits.

The Big One...


Greetings and Salutations everyone!

Dutch Rabbit here and I have a few annoucements.

First of all everyone here at Rabbit Scanlations would like to thank the community
for their interest in Netoraserare. Without y’all we wouldn’t even be doing this.

THANK YOU!

I also would like to thank “Nobody Noes” who slaved away on their own to provide us
a copy of Chapter 20 ready for typesetting. You really helped us all out. (Bows)

If you enjoy this and other Konomi Shikishiro work,


Now for the Big Announcement:

We here, as much the readers out there, hate the delay and uncertainty
of when source material becomes available to read; yet alone produce an ENG version.
We rely on you, the community, and kind and brave Anon-sans’ donations
to help the ENG version see the light of day.
As grateful as we are for everyone’s help in this endeavor,
we understand that kind of help can be a burden and come with great cost.

With that in mind, I want to put the “scan” in Scanalation. 
From now I Dutch Rabbit, on behave of Rabbit Scanlations,
will take on the role of providing the actual source
material for the remaining chapters to come.

I’ve already have a vendor in mind that I can place orders through with any hiccups.
From the time Namaiki! hits shelves in Japan, I believe it’ll be delivered
on my side of the world in 2-days. If I was able to get my
through them without a problem, I don’t see why Netoraserare would be.


Placing an order just for Namaiki!, including shipping,
would run me around $20 USD ($5 Namaiki!, $15 shipping).
To help offset the steep shipping cost, K-Slice and myself,
will be ordering other h-manga we want to add into our collections.
I’ll cover the cost for adding Namaiki! and split the shipping cost
evenly with him when it comes to the combined shipping.

(However with the rumor of Namaiki! going digital distribution...
I dunno how this is gonna work.)

I had an all-in-one printer station deal but that’s been broken and long gone. 
I’ve been in need of replacing it so I’m using this as an incentive to do so.

With that in mind, I like to ask you guys for some recommendations
for all-in-one printers/scanners that can scan manga really well.
Keep in mind that I don’t wanna break the bank;
I think I can budget $160 tops for one.
(it’s gonna be a tight month for me.)

Doesn’t need to have all the bells in whistles but one that’s a
pretty well balanced office type would do
 Key features I’m interested is wireless/network capabilities and USB access.
I’ll hit up retailers this week to do research on them myself.

A personal announcement:
It’s kinda a good thing for me that we won’t see the next chapter in the next Namaiki! issue. 
I have a month’s time to cram as much IT knowledge as I can for a potential job interview. 
So basically I’ll be pullin’ a Kintarou Oe like in the first episode of Golden Boy; wish me luck.


Also another scanlator reached out to me for some assistance. 
It’s a bit of a favor too but I do want to help out this perso
and share my know-how with them in any downtime I have.
So it’s gonna be a busy 4 weeks for me…

Good thing a con is coming up for me to relax and unwind. ^_^

Lastly (though not set in concrete) I'm playing with the idea of providing our:
raws, scripts, and blanked out (text bubbles blanked) chapters to come
to help disseminate and expedite other language translations.
They would be released a day or two after the ENG release. 
All I ask is that give credit where credit's due
and credit "Rabbit Scanlations" for anything you use from us.

That also reminds me. 
For those how have D/L'ed a HQ version of Chapter 20,
I'll release our ENG translations layers for it soon. 
They will be in .PNG format with transparcies. 
These layers will also have a slight update; Sands got back with us. 
This update doesn't effect anything major.
Just grammar updates and slight rephrasing. 

All you have to do is use something like Photoshop or Gimp and load
which ever page and copy/paste/load our ENG layer over it as a top layer. 

You'll have to adjust it by moving it left or right a bit but it should match-up fairly well.
Gimp, for some reason, only saves in its' proprietary format, ".xcf".

So I recommend Irfanview to convert this, and .PSD (PHOTOSHOP),
to whatever image format you want. Check out the Batch mode feature. 

This should go without saying but these should be for personal use only. 
If you post a married version based on our ENG layers
then you're on your own if any vengeance falls upon you; but not by us.

Thanks for reading!

NETORASERARE - CHAPTER 20 - THE DECLARATION - LQ BETA RELEASE


Here it is guys, please take your time reading and enjoy.

As mentioned before:
To help stop the spread of a potentially "bad" release we will only
post it on our blog.  So I ask not to post this elsewhere but
linking to us is okay.

When time permits for us to release the HQ version, that'll be
the final version that'll be posted on here again and elsewhere online.
If someone can a donate a HQ version of Chapter 20, we can have
that out as quickly as we can.

You can grab Chapter 20 HERE.

You can always nab our releases under the DOWNLOADS page.

***UPDATE***
It seems are wishes for this not to be uploaded elsewhere went unheard... aye...
We weren't asking for much but what's done is done I suppose.
It was in hopes as a form of damage control which I'll explain but
that'll have to wait until until I confirm something.


20 is almost upon us...



Okay guys,
A kind Anon-san reached out to us and
sent us their scan of chapter 20.  In all honesty... it's a
pretty brutal LQ scan of it.  They have a scanner from the 2000's
but it looks like a scan from the 90's.  However it'll have to do.
To help expedite this release, they blanked the text out for us.
(How kind of them!)

But this is still gonna be hard to work with.  I'll do some additional
touch-up as best as I can.  I haven't heard back from Sands yet
to finalize the ENG version.  However, as it stays, myself and K-Slice
are satisfied with the translation.  So, if I don't hear back from him,
we'll release what we're going to consider as a "LQ Beta release".
To help stop the spread of a potentially "bad" release we will only
post it on our blog.  So I ask not to post this elsewhere but
linking to us is okay.

When time permits for us to release the HQ version, that'll be
the final version that'll be posted on here again and elsewhere online.

As it stands, half the chapter is ready to go, we can't work non-stop
today but we would like to have this out late Sunday.
