    I was wondering if you would like to scanlate Rockin’ Heaven.

    here are the raws –> http://ani-18.livejournal.com/11851.html
    I thought it was cute but i noticed nobody else was translating it.

    Oh and good job with Shugo Chara! Keep up the good work. Your an angel to us fans :D

      We were thinking of picking up the series, but as of now we’re turning towards more doujinshi until Shugo Chara starts up again.

      It would be great if we could team up with another group and just do translation; the scanlation takes way too much time away from our other projects.

    Thank you soo much for scanlating Helen ESP! I fell in love with it after two chapters but there was no hope of it being regularly updated, so I’m just thrilled that you picked it up.

    Hey, I’m a Chinese manga fan as a member of a Chinese web communication service team. We’d love to share the manga “Shugo Chara Encore” on a chinese web communication in English translation.
    Could I please ask for the right to put your translated manga “Shugo Chara Encore 2″&”Shugo Chara Encore 3″ onto the website above? It’s a Chinese ShugoChara fan communication.
    Also we’d love to ask for a long-term manga share right to show our community the quickest translated manga. thanx><

      No, we don’t. We only translate Japanese manga. We are also not taking request for new manga, please read the FAQ.

  9. August 11, 2010 1:28 PM

    This is awesome sauce, you knows. It seems like you scanlate more than just/u/ themes, but I won’t complain. I will be watching your releases for yuri and including them in our site news.

    thank you for the work you do good continuation

      August 29, 2010 11:59 PM

      If you can find us raws, we’re happy to translate Akikan.

      The problem is that there are no raws.

    The Halibut Group just officially announced on their website, that they were dropping Vita Sexualis, as far as i know there is still volume 3 and volume 4 that is coming out that have not been translated,: THIS IS COPY of message from the Halibut site, about them dropping VITA sexualis, its a pretty good series and it would be a shame to see it die.

    .Well, my time has come and gone. I’ve been fairly inactive in doing my former jobs of typesetting, translating, and quality checking. Now, that I am entering my 3rd year of college, my workload has become substantially more difficult. I will be taking a leave of absence, at the very least, until next summer. From time to time I may pop in every now and then to make an announcement here since I will still be the primary financier of the group. drpepper will be taking over as head of For The Halibut scans. Administrator of Editing will be kundumstaf, and the Administative Aide to them both will be FighterFei. Please give them your undivided support as FTH pushes onwards into the future!

    And now, for the bad news that few of you probably want to hear. We’re dropping two of our founding series. Lack of support throughout the group to work on these projects has led to this decision. Seikon no Qwaser will be dropped due to lack of translations since Dirty Deeds has a real job that he needs to focus on taking up all his time. VITA Sexualis will be dropped due to lack of interest in working on the project from the group as a whole. We will be rededicating our work towards the 6 series we have left. Apologies to those affected by these drops, but this decision is final.

    So long, and thanks for all the fish!

    It would be great to find a way to keep the series alive and translated

    If your group wants to keep this series alive I am willing to order the raw volume 3 and 4 from Japan, if you guys want to keep this series alive, it would be a shame to see the series forgotten, Halibit did great translating it, this would be a perfect series for your group to keep going since halibut has stated that time and real life forced them to limit what series that carry, Halibut did great and this would be a great series for Pretty anon to pick up

      +1 for VITA Sexuality, the story really picks up around chapter 12 and on.
      Too bad only 1 volume release every year… (5 ~ 6 chapters) and the raws are so hard to find.
      Hope this get translated!

    Hey guys,

    I recently discovered Heavy Object again in my Reading List and wondered why there wasn’t any release for quite a while… :D
    Anything you need help with for that particular series?

    Have fun, PaterFrog

    • Pretty Anon Staff permalink*
      November 9, 2010 9:26 AM

      Heavy Object is released every three months. Since it’s moved to the new magazine, it was delayed another month. It’ll be out at the end of November, and we fully intend on translating it.

      • PaterFrog permalink
        November 9, 2010 9:35 AM

        Oh cool, thanks for the quick answer.
        Do you think it might be prudent to add updates/edits to the last release blog of related mangas, when they get delayed or go on hiatus?

        Cause, the first thing I do when looking for info on a certain scanlation, is checking up on the last released chapter blog.

        • Pretty Anon Staff permalink*
          November 9, 2010 11:06 AM

          That’s a great idea. With our next release we’ll add that.

    I was wondering, that exeptet for the rest, I didn’t found the special chapter from volume 3 of koibana onsen. So I was thinking because, you people are translating this serie, could you also translating this “missing” chapters?

    • Pretty Anon Staff permalink*
      January 23, 2011 1:00 PM

      We picked up the scanlations from the other group that was doing it, and at the time they were working on the extra. Now, of course, they seem to not be doing much about it, so we’ll contact them to see if they’re going to even release it.

    Hi, there!
    I just stumbled across your site whilst looking for LockonxTieria, and was so excited to find some promising titles!

    However, a few of them are giving me trouble. Two of them are no longer on Mediafire via the links provided, and one of them keeps downloading wrong and can’t be opened.

    Broken Links:
    -Unconsciousness
    -If It’s for Your Sake, I’ll Die

    Glitchy Download:
    -Swimming in Your Dreams

      We haven’t done a release in a very long time, and it’s not being worked on by anyone. I think it’s safe to say it’s been dropped.

    and makes me happy and relaxed when I m down in the dumps.
    I wish there was someway I could help.

      We’ve just paid for that issue to be sent to us; it should arrive within a week. We’ve already obtained raws for 34+ and we now have a consistent raw provider, so we should be up to regular monthly releases within the next three weeks.

    I hope it’s alright to ask a question here!

    AnonBlack, did you study moon? If you did, for how long have you done so?

    • Pretty Anon Staff permalink*
      April 3, 2012 11:06 AM

      Sure, no problem. Yes, I did study moon. But in kind of a unconventional way.

      I started when my parents got me a book titled “Learning Japanese through Comics”. It wasn’t a real textbook; it had different topics on the use of language, particularly in manga. They had whole sections on kanji wordplay and katakana and whatnot. I read that thing like it was my bible for months. I also had two copies of Ouran Host Club, one in English and one in Japanese, and frequently read the two side by side. It helped me grasp more grammar.

      In November 2008 I started randomly translating comics on 4chan in a Code Geass thread and that’s basically when I started translating. From there I started doing manga and that’s how I learned most of my vocab and grammar. It’d take me six hours to do 25 pages, where I had to look up every other word and remember it, but after a year and a half I got pretty good at reading and translating.

      In freshman year of college I started taking Japanese classes starting halfway through their second year program. In total I’ve taken one and a half years of college Japanese, finishing third year, and I’ve just finished two quarters of premodern Japanese.

      tl;dr About four years, starting self-taught and then taking some college courses.

    What do you feel about scanlators who consider readers as ‘leechers’? I was a reader for years and I had a very short stint working in a group. It’s a common trend to see scanlators get pissed at online readers but they tend to forget they are doing it for readers and introducing stories instead odf an ego boost.

    • Pretty Anon Staff permalink*
      May 2, 2012 9:43 AM

      (AB) Honestly, I feel kind of sad for the groups. Chances are the scanlators that work there are “leechers” from other groups as well. Alienating fans – their fans – because they’re not getting the recognition ‘they’ deserve is just ridiculous. Look at that idiot Prozess a while back.
      I’m just happy if someone reads something I translate. I really don’t care if they know that the “pretty anons” did it. It’s cool enough that something nobody knew about was brought to a larger audience because of what we’ve done. I point to the guy who did “It’s your fault I’m not popular”.
