Tsukihana Scans

Hello everyone, although this is a painful decision to make, it has come to my attention that I am no longer fit to lead this team and continue providing you with English scanlations of 7 Seeds. I started scanlating 3 years ago, not only because I love reading Japanese and 7 Seeds, but also because I wanted everyone to get a chance to read it on a regular basis. Although I still love translating, the time necessary for editing and QCing (especially with work/studies completely consuming my free time) and the apparent busyness of everyone else in the team has made it clear that we can no longer provide you with quality scanlations of 7 Seeds in a timely manner, though I wish that weren't the case.

The last 3 years have been really wonderful and I've learnt so much from scanlating, both in terms of translating and editing with Photoshop! I have also thoroughly enjoyed all of the wonderful comments you guys have posted discussing every detailed aspect of 7 Seeds with me, it was definitely the best part of scanlating and what I looked forward to the most. I would also like to thank everyone who has lent a helping hand and supported me throughout this journey! You were beyond excellent. :')

Luckily the other team that has been scanlating 7 Seeds has caught up to us, so you won't be bereft from reading 7 Seeds entirely. I hope you'll forgive me for dragging this out for so long. As farewell, I present to you our final release, the first chapter of a new and exciting story arc, chapter 125. Thank you so much for all your support, I will never forget our time spent together! :)

It's like 2 months over due, but here is the next chapter, finally! Sorry for the long wait, but starting an Honours degree seriously threw a spanner in the works! I didn't realise how little time I would have to do anything in my life (it's full on! Don't do a Honours degree if you aren't used to working all the time haha. Honestly, I was contemplating stopping scanlating altogether, that's how busy I felt. Thank goodness for dragonator , acide and kthescannerr for being the best team members ever!). XD But I'm really enjoying it, so I don't regret it. Maybe it's just a little regretful for the rest of you though, lol. At least this chapter is a tad longer than the usual chapters. ^^;;

We are currently looking for a QCer though! I really only have time to translate as of now, and that's pretty much why this chapter was sitting on the back burner for so long. I have great editors who can do the QCing for the cleaning, but I seriously need someone to help me out with the typesetting QCing! To be a typesetter QCer you would need to have had plenty of experience typesetting before, and be fairly good at it. I will of course teach you our team's particular style, but you will have to get used to getting it as close to our usual releases as possible. xD Possibly a big ask, but the plus side is it'll only take a day or so for each release. ^^ So yes! If you're an experienced typesetter and would love to see faster 7 Seeds releases, please please please help us (because the next story arc is amazing and intense and I really wish I had more time to get those chapters out!!)! :) E-mail me at scanlators_7_seeds[at]live.co.uk ^^

I would also like to add that a new addition to our team, jenlyi , has come to our rescue just in time to help us out with the cleaning! :) It's always a pleasure to get new volunteers keen on keeping the 7 Seeds releases coming! So if you're up for the challenge, then please, by all means, let us know you would like to help out (mainly QCers and editors)! ^^

And so chapter 121 is finally done! Sorry about the sloooow release, but it has been tough recently with no available cleaners and just a handful of dedicated team members who are all ridiculously busy right now. ^^;; Fortunately there are lovely people in this world and so we finally have new cleaner recruits in-training! It'll be a little while before they're up to speed though, so don't expect speedy releases any time soon. XD Hope you can bear with us... ^^;;

I would also like to note that I'll be starting my Honours year at the end of February, and I'll be super busy then (more so than I ever have been before)! As such I'll probably only have time to keep up with the translating and QCing, and won't have any time to edit like I have been recently. If you think you can help out to keep up the regular releases, then please send me an e-mail at scanlators_7_seeds[at]live.co.uk I would totally appreciate the help, and well regular releases from then on will depend mostly on the rest of the team and not me (as it has been for the past 2 years)! :3 By the way, if you've sent an e-mail and haven't got a reply within two days, it likely means your e-mail went to my junk mail! Please post a comment here, and then I'll definitely know that you've sent me one. ^^

Ah such dire news! On the bright side of things, Tamura-sensei's Shogakugan 90th anniversary Masterpieces manga anthology, Seimei no Netsuryo, was released at the beginning of the month and my copy has finally arrived! It's super high quality and absolutely stunning as a collector's item for any die-hard Tamura Yumi fan. You can check the pictures out over at our Twitter account.

All right, enough chit-chat! Time for that chapter you've all been slaughtering me in your sleep over due to terrible release speed.... X3
