State of the Scanlation - Feb 2022

We still have a number of projects on the go.  We have some chapters to release, and yes, we are still working on the series that we've been working on.

Pace : Back in December, just after getting my second shot of Pfizer vaccine, I succumbed to Covid.  Weird, I survived a whole year (two?) without a single symptom, manage to stay 6 feet or more away from others, even while running a home business.  It knocked me out for over THREE WEEKS.  Good news is I'm finally starting to get some of my strength and energy back so I should be able to start focusing on scanlation again.

As long as the translations keep coming.

Reader: Now it seems that the next order of business to update on is the reader.  The reader is down.  We where sharing another groups server and that person has decided essentially to retire anything scanlation related on their systems.  Our web admin is still looking for a solution however.

In the meantime, we will continue to post our releases on Mangadex as our 'official' reader site

Recruitment & Staff: We still need volunteers.  We need essentially all positions, especially translators, proofreaders/quality checkers AND redrawers.  These are key to continue and even build our pace up once again.  Experience is helpful, but some things we HELP you along with. More information on the recruitment pages.

State of Scanlation June 2021

It's been a long year between COVID19, and the slow down of certain content creation across the globe.

If you've noticed we've been pretty quiet the last couple months, don't worry however we've been slowly working behind the scenes on most of the series you've seen released in the last year.

We have pending chapters of Brave Star Romantics, Kaisei no Caricature, Gun-Ota,  Kirei ni Shitemoraemasuka, Kunoichi no Ichi and others.

We HAVE added two translators, working on Kaisei and Brave Star.  I'm hoping to have one chapter of each released by end of the month, and more for our Anniversary in July.

In the meantime, we need REDRAWERS and PROOFREADERS to help push them along.

We are also in the midst of rebuilding our reader.  Please be patient with us as we do so.

There have been some slight modifications with Ikaros our discord file serving bot.  The only thing that's really 'changed' is that each download link expires at 5 minute increments (on the 5's.  ie 7:00, 7:05, 7:10 and so forth)

Need a list of files available?  visit #Da-Bot
There are only two commands.  !list (!list [series]) and !get [Series#].

The new Ikaros has the same triggers for the most part.  Example. If you want do download Freezing chapter 224.  You'd type !get fz224

It's as simple as that.  Use the same code only preface it with !get and drop the exclamation mark.  It might also take 24 hours for the bot to pickup the files in discord.

State of Scanlation June 2020

The last year has been a difficult time.  Between COVID and life in general, various translators, redrawers as well as a typesetter or two have 'retired' in one way or another.

While we do need translators and Redrawers the most, we've been working on another small project.

Most of you know that the only way to grab the finished files are through irc.  Which, for the most part, its nearly dead.  Gecko has desired for a while now to kill the irc bot and provide files via another forum.  With that said, he's managed to succeed for the most part.

Ikaros the bot is now available on our discord server.  It's really rather simple on how to grab your file.

There are only two commands.  !list and !get.

The new Ikaros has the same triggers for the most part.  Example. If you want do download Freezing chapter 224.  You'd type !get fz224

It's as simple as that.  Use the same code only preface it with !get and drop the exclamation mark.  It might also take 24 hours for the bot to pickup the files in discord.

Please note, the download links DO expire.

Please remember, this is currently beta, and if it fails, you'll need to notify Gecko or another admin.

State of Scanlation Sept 2019

It’s been a while since I updated.

We’ve had some more issues this year.  If you noticed we where unable to give the celebration in July that you are accustomed to.  We need Redrawers for the work we have now, and some other staff to pick up other series'

Sword Oratoria is slowly moving along.  We have redraws that need done to release at least one chapter.  We may drop it after we release the work we've done so far.

Danmachi While we have more we want to do, the translator is inundated with real life.   Unfortunately we might need to drop this.  It also seems another group has picked it up.

Mushoku Tensei is coming along.  We have at least one chapter in quality control, and one in redraws.

Hare kon’s is done in Japan, however we are now working on the 17th volume.  The pace has slowed but we continue.

Hanebado dropped.

Yuizaki-san is complete in Japan, There are only a couple chapters left.  Hopefully the translator will get hooked on something else and we'll work on that as well.

Freezing.  It seems like it’s been forever since we started on this, and while we are a couple chapters behind, it can’t really be helped.  Translator is infected with a real life. ;)  Also, it seems to be on hiatus yet again in Japan, this time the artist.

365 days without her (Sekirei 365), Dropped.  The official release was out long ago.  Go buy it please.

Kunoichi no Ichi, the typesetter disappeared on us.  After a short conversation with a sniper we have it back.  I have a number of chapters in progress and its waiting mainly on qc and redraws.

Youkai Shoujo STILL continues to be typeset. We have ALL scripts til the end.  We could use help in proofreading AND redrawing the series however.

Gun X Clover, we are dedicated to finishing the series.  The next chapter will be out within the next couple weeks with luck.  Typesetter got locked down with real life (and does Youkai Shoujo).

Too Much Pain, We desperately need a translator for this series if we are going to continue it.  The original translator isn't responding to pleadings!

Gun-Ota ga Mahou~, is waiting on redraws qc and typesetting.  We have up to c40 approx so far so expect more soon.  The redraws tend to be annoying on this series.  The moment you think the are easy, wham, the mangaka hits you hard with them.


That’s most of the updates.  I’m working on a few others this weekend so hopefully more releases this week will include Happy Negative Marriage, UsoPara, and Kami-sama Drop.

State of Scanlation 2018 - September

It’s been a while since I posted anything new.

We’ve had some issues since July, and we are slowly solving them.

Sword Oratoria is slowly moving along.  We have redraws that need done to release at least one chapter.

Danmachi is Has one more chapter left of the scripts we had.  A potential new translator has joined us and I hope to have a couple chapters by the end of the first week of October.

Shield Hero looks like the joint we had with LHT is over.  They’ve decided they can do it faster without us.  We will still consider doing our own version.

Mushoku Tensei is coming along.  We have at least one chapter in quality control, and one in redraws.

Hare kon’s 15th volume is nearly complete and will be moving onto the 16th.  Regular releases should stay with every Monday.

Hanebado is still being translated at his time.  It’s a wordy series so it takes the TLer some time to get terms correct.  Yes, we see another group is trying to snip it.

Yuizaki-san is complete in Japan, and we are finishing up the current volume, translations for the last volume have already stated rolling in.

Freezing.  It seems like it’s been forever since we started on this, and while we are a couple chapters behind, it can’t really be helped.  Translator is infected with a real life. ;)

365 days without her (Sekirei 365), our translator with the joint group got busy and we’ve not heard from them.  The joint group also doesn’t seem to have a spare translator.  If your willing to help out on this please apply.

Kunoichi no Ichi, is also in progress still.  We have 2-3 chapters in progress.  One more near ready for release.

Youkai Shoujo continues to be typeset. We have ALL scripts til the end.  We could use help in proofreading the series however.

Gun X Clover, we are dedicated to finishing the series.  The next chapter will be out within the next couple weeks with luck.  Redraws and QC.

Too Much Pain, we took a little longer than expected getting this series cleaned and typeset.  The translator is no longer responding so we could use a translator interested in the series to continue.

Gun-Ota ga Mahou~, is waiting on redraws and typesetting.  We have up to c30 approx so far so expect more soon.  The redraws on the next couple chapters ARE a bitch.


That’s most of the updates.  I’m working on a few others this weekend so hopefully more releases this week will include Happy Negative Marriage, UsoPara, and Kami-sama Drop.

State of Scanlation


Welcome to Spring 2017 

This quarter we see some interesting news.

Sekirei's GOKURAKUIN Sakurako is reported to be starting a new series based on Sekirei, apparently it will fill in MORE of the missing last year(s).  "Kanojo no Inai 365-Hi no Koto" (About 365 Days Without a Girlfriend).  One year since Musubi beat Miya, and one year before she returns.  This is that story.  Yes, I hope to pick it up.

Freezing's Im Dal Young has been Ill since November.  Apparently the series is due to resume 'this Spring'.  The only problem is Spring ends in June (and some say the publisher claims July), we can barely wait.

I've be in contact with a number of translators seeking to have various projects done.  To this ends, we have received scripts and some RAWs for the following series.
  • Broken Blade.  We had been eyeballing this and had received a couple scripts for it while the other group continued to do a sub-standard job.  At least to our view.  VisCoun scans returned and took it over once again.  Meanwhile, we have most of their releases on our irc bot.
  • Ninkoi - Karenbo Hichou.  There are only 5 chapters left, and it seems our own 'Demo' was the translator of note on these scripts.  They are being proofread currently.
  • Starving Anonymous.  While I don't really do horror, I had at least one cleaner jump on it and had it cleaned before I could say "I'll think about it."  More proof that if  you provide us scripts, GOOD scripts, then it'll get done.  Chapter 1 is currently in quality control. This should be out during Golden Week with some luck.  (First week of May)
  • In Another World, I'm Called: The Black Healer.  Yet another translator asked if we could pick this up if they provides scripts.  I've agreed as it's one of the many series I read.  We are currently looking for decent RAWs.  We are still waiting on the scripts  and proofing.
  • qtμt. No, I'm not overly familiar with it, the same translator who asked about Starving Anonymous requested this one as well.  We have it on our 'to do list' but have yet to receive the scripts. (qt cutie, or Cutie Mutie?) Seems like a 4-koma. I generally don't like 4-koma formats but this one doesn't seem to bad at first glance.
  • "Kanojo no Inai 365-Hi no Koto".   (Sekirei) I just received the RAWs for the first chapter.  I may have a translator willing to but it might be a month.  I'll continue to collect the RAWs in the meantime and hopefully we can get caught up fast. (May 13)
  • "Freezing".  We are still waiting on Freezing to return from hiatus, yes, we know this is disappointing.  Honestly we don't expect anything before the end of June 2017 (or mid July).  On the other hand, we HAVE found more extra 'omake' type chapters.  Two more from the Freezing Vibration DVD releases.  I will be speaking to the translator about them in the next couple weeks.
No, we have not yet dropped any projects OTHER than Break Blade which VisCoun has taken back up, but we do need translators to help nudge some of them forward.

I am also hoping to do a release a day during golden week.  Also, our anniversary is coming up in July.  So once again we will plan to highlight fan art (or short fanfictions) from any series we are currently working on.  Even crossover art.

Welcome to LetItGo Scans

Weeks ago it was announced that FTH-Scans would close down.  I had prepared to take on some work and work with other groups with their (FTH's) various projects.

However I had also prepared a failsafe plan, if those plans and agreements didn't pan out.

We will be listing the following series here.

Adam in Puberty
Freezing
Freezing: Zero
Freezing: Pair Love Stories
Unbreakable Machine Doll

All former FTH projects.
