After an unexpected turn of events, we have decided to resume Porfy no Nagai Tabi. This time it will be a joint with Licca Fansubs as announced on their blog. There are a few reasons for this :
1. I'm occupied with translating, fixing typesetting, and doing QCing for our manga projects.
2. Translating 2 versions by myself is really boring.
3. Licca can translate much faster than we do.
4. Most of our fansub staff members don't have much time to spend on fansubbing like before. ManiacDC has his job, and I'm now a senior in university while spending 3 hours a day learning Japanese. Other members have their own IRL stuff to do as well.
Basically, joining hands with another group will give us advantages and motivation to continue with the series. In this case it will be done in a pretty unusual ways, since each group will work at its own pace and release different versions. If you want hardsubs or faster speed, visit Licca's blog. If you need English softsubs or Vietnamese subs, here is the place you'll get them.
This time we will have more members for the project in order to boost the speed. The tasks will be divided as follow :
- Vietnamese translation : tuandatle
- Vietnamese editing & scene timing : me (I updated my Aegisub for this purpose)
- English editing : probably Mignonette, since he's our fastest editor. Anyone who is interested is welcomed for the position.
- Encoding and QCing : ManiacDC
==================================================
Another series we will be doing is Otoboku 1. As some people may have read wow!scans's blog, Yamada has agreed to transfer the project to us. I have already finished my translations for the remaining chapters a month ago, but editing and typesetting take time. We will not release quickly, but a chapter a month should be okay.
==================================================
Finally, we have secured the raws for the last chapters of Oto x Maho. We'll try our best to push them out asap. So see you in a while!

Glad to see Oto x Maho and Otoboku 1 are on the table (for a while I thought Otoboku 1 would never be finished by wow!scans). Thanks for the update!
Good to hear that about OtoBoku
Hachimitsu Scans might be willing to help out on the OtoBoku series, they're pretty on top of most trap related series currently coming out
Just a possibility to consider
since there was no mention of it in the post i wanted to ask if you were still gonna continue with otoboku 2
or not
Don't worry. We will continue it as planned. It's just that this isn't the time to do it, since I'm having many things to do now, including reviewing for a French test next week.
Are you guys still alive? It's been a while since any releases, let alone anouncements.
Lol, sorry man. Let's say we're half-dead now. I may have some free time despite having the final exam, but other members don't. Our proofreaders are currently MIA, while 1 manga editor has retired, and 1 is currently engaging in his exam. I'm thinking of changing the schedule a little bit, but it won't be fast.
Happy new year Del!
It's a bit late, but happy new year ^o^
Sorry, It was on time where I live =P
Well, if you ever do decide to quit then would you mind posting the raws you have for Otoboku 1 & 2? I'm sure I could find someone willing to give it a shot in your absence.
I'm sure you guys do still have a decent shot of pulling things together though, so good luck regardless.
(Dec 27 Anon), yeah, it's been a while and was just checking. Other groups have vanished without a trace, I'm glad to see someone is still around.
^
^ Well, I'm not saying we're quitting. We'll be back after the exam. That's all.
I posted this in the recruitment thing but i think that's pretty out of date but id like to try being a proofreader my email is [email protected]
and yes I'm English
