State of Scanlation 2018 - Jan

IT's a brand new year!!!

It's come to our attention that our favourite reader site bato is closing down.  Multiple reasons and I personally can understand why grumpy has made the choice.

We are looking at various solutions for where we will host the series we work on, and I have been in contact with at least one other group about setting up a private server.  I am cautious on anything I do in scanlation so it might take a bit.

• Domestic na Kanojo - It seems this series is not only licensed but surpassed us in official releases.  We will be releasing what we HAVE in the matter of scripts already prepared.  However going forward is questionable of worth.  Especially as another group has ripped the actual authorized licened material and posted it 'elsewhere'.  Please remember to support the mangaka!
• Translators - We always have need.
• Happy Negative Marriage - The translator has been gracious enough to continue working the series even though we have not been actively working on it.  The typesetter who works on this should be back soon and we hope to begin releasing chapters again soon.
• Romsen Saga  - Chapter 7 has been received.
• Gun x Clover - We will be finishing this series off.  Expect more.

We are slowly getting moving forward still with Hare kon, Saikin, and Yuizaki ha Negaru! among others.  Expect them soon.

The death of Bato.to

Batoto is dead, long live the potato.

Our official Reader site has died.  The domain has been auctioned and as we would love to wait to see what might come from the auction, the fact is no one knows.  I’ve started evaluating reader sites to determine which one is the most reader and scanlator friendly in the wake of recent events with batoto.

Currently there is really only three choices, and one stands hands and shoulders among them.

First, we will slowly be building up our own hosted solution, and while I myself had considered finding a solution to open up to the community at large, the fact is the only solution before us is limited in scope.

So, we will slowly be uploading our series to http://reader.letitgo.scans.today.

Secondly, the seemingly favoured reader site more like batoto, is mangadex.  For now, while it is being developed, it seems the most promising.  So we will “officially” be supporting them in the meantime.

Please note however we have some 420 or more releases to upload so it will take some time.

The third “visual” choice that I’ve reviewed still has a way to go, but I understand they’ve been overhauling their design.  Check manga.sh out if you have time.


Thanks for being patient with us.

I had intended for this to be released for New Years day but, we got sick.  Honestly, I think every member of the group came down with the flu, a cold, or something.  They tried to blame me and my release schedule for the holiday but we all know better right?  ;)

Rest in peace Bato, with its closing we will be looking at a reader of our own.  It's being worked on.  I'm also open to uploading other group's work as well.
