[scanlation] 7 Seeds Volume 22 Chapter 114

[pandaranda]

Ah, the dreamwidth site is down so you might not see this post for a while! XD This is totally out of my hands, but sorry about that... ^^;;

Anywho, not long after I released last week's chapter, my October issues for the Flowers and Cocohana mags came, along with some lovely news! If you follow our Twitter, you'll know this news already, but it seems like Shogakukan is celebrating their 90th anniversary soon, and Tamura-sensei is taking part by releasing a new special 'Flower Comics Masterpieces' anthology called Seimei no Netsuryo (The Heat of Life)! Apparently the theme will be things that Tamura-sensei does best, making emotionally destroying stories full of the passion and pains of life, with characters who must struggle against despair and great adversity, and so on. Supposedly a gallery full of her magazine colour inserts will be included as well (I'm guessing of all her work up to date?). It'll also come with a special story and artbook, called Pulse - The Battles of BASARA/7SEEDS, that'll include an interview of Tamura-sensei talking about the two series, as well as being packed with coloured artwork and extra stuff! :D Ouu I'm so excited!! I believe it will be coming out sometime January 2013. ^_^ Also, Shinohara Chie (Red River) and Watanabe Taeko (Kaze Hikaru) will be doing their own Flower Comics Masterpieces thing, for those of you who are also fans of them! :D

Aside from that, I also posted some preview pics of Tamura's new short story (meaning each chapter is only about 8 pages long) series, Iromen, which is a splice of life josei comedy. It's really cute (and packed full of ikemen like Akagi, our resident Shuri/Arashi/Ango look-a-like), and I'm enjoying it so far! ^_^ I'll be happy to scanlate it, but I'll probably wait until the volumes are released because it's a bit expensive to buy a whole magazine each month just for 8 pages! xD

Whee lots of great news this week, huh? :DD Anyway, after all that excitement, it's time for chapter 114!! (BTW azou8506 has come back! Yay!!! :D)

7 SEEDS Chapter 114 - "Omen"

Hana has spotted an unusual man-made structure, could this be a supplies shelter, or perhaps another mysterious underground shelter like Ryugu...?!

7 Seeds Chapter Impressions

Azou
Well this is my return chapter so I kind of did some dumb things when I was doing my cleaning/editing duties XD. But I’m glad I am back on board, even though I now have much less time on my hand.

So what about the chapter itself? Well it pretty much sums up why I like 7 seeds: realism. We get to realize that even though X hundreds of years have passed the only people that could survive are those who were born in the right place and where able to make the right social connection. So, to me it’s another great chapter.


Dragonator
Oh poor Fujiko-chan...If you’re going to let your mind wonder like that you’re just setting yourself up for disappointment in the looks department. Though, considering the small and rapidly diminishing pool of candidates, I don’t think she can afford to be very picky. They are all supposed to be the genetic cream of the crop after all.

And on page 35 we have a very good example of the literal dying screams of an entire ecosystem destroyed by the (re)introduction of a different species which wreaks havoc on the ecological balance. Considering the rate at which they can grow, all those different types of fungus spores let loose in such a damp and rich in nutrients environment will probably just explode overnight. Bon apetit guys and enjoy it while it lasts.

Eeee, I love Chisa!! XD I wasn't as shocked as Hana and Fujiko for the things she said because I've always thought that sort of thing was a given in the world too (life's unfair like that)! Call me a cynic, but I just didn't believe that the Seeders were chosen by random either, and Chisa has affirmed my suspicions. xP

I also like how she put it out there that Takashi was hard-working man with ideals and principles. I know there are a lot of people who hate him, or don't feel that he and Kaname and all the others who were in charge of Summer A should be forgiven, but I've always...not agreed with what they did, but understood their perspective, I guess. ^^;; Like I admire their dedication to their cause, even if some parts of it were misguided. I just don't think they meant to wrong anyone (even though they ended up doing that...). ^^;; Maybe I just like to play the devil's advocate and take the side of the least loved! XD Heh.

I believe she has two artbooks available at the moment, both of them are Basara artbooks. This anniversary thing is mostly an anthology though, I think, and the 7 Seeds/Basara artbook is like an additional gift thing. :3 Though going by the price, I'm guessing the artbook will be a substantial size. xD

Re: Artbooks!!

[limskragma]

OW! So this one is going to be the first book with 7 seeds illustrations?

I was under the impression that there was one artbook already.

Wow! xD Basara/7 Seeds - i would expect the book to be substantial, especially because it comes along an anniversary edition.

Eh! I wish that i could get my hands on it.
Will have to think upon some options to find it....

Re: Artbooks!!

[pandaranda]

Yeah, the one before was just a fanbook and not a 7 Seeds artbook, it has more words in it than pictures. :3

You could easily purchase it online because there are a few Japanese online bookstores that ship overseas like CDJapan, Neowing, Honto, Amazon.jp, Yeasia etc. Or if you live in a place that has a Kinokuniya or indie Japanese bookstore you could probably preorder it through them. ^^
