Seeing double

March 23rd, 2007 by Aliera

…with today’s two new releases:
Spiral v5 ch21
Sing yesterday for me: ch21 (start of volume 3!)

What’s that? You’d like to read SYFM from the beginning? Never fear, links are below!

Volume 1 Volume 2

I kind of wish i had a download counter… but if you read them, let us know! Sometimes you really wonder if anyone actually reads these things, or whether they just click on the links, lol…

Anyway a small bit of news for you all- starting from now, all our new releases will be hosted on http, with the possible exception of Naruto/ID which take a lot of bandwidth. I think it would be a good way for people to read our releases without having to learn how to use IRC, and bandwidth is much cheaper these days than it used to be. The IRC channel will still host our releases, but with Mraoul missing, we can’t really do much in the way of bots. (Mraoul, if you’re reading this, come back to us!)

Also a bit of a project status update. It’s by no means complete, but close enough for now:

Active Projects
Naruto
Spiral
Sing Yesterday For Me
Spiral Alive

Returning Projects (soon)
Worldend Fairytale
Shindo

Frozen Projects (maybe one day..)
Niea_7
Twin Spica

Dropped Projects
Claymore
Whistle
Hoshi no Koe

I really wish we could have finished Hoshi no Koe, but with the english release out on shelves, I’m just not interested in scanlating it anymore. If you’re starving for your Yumeka Sumomo/Sahara Mizu fix though, look around and you might find something

  12. purple_mo Says:

    Well, I’m really glad you guys are still doing Sing Yesterday and restarting Worldend Fairytale. I’ve been waiting for years for Worldend and all but lost hope on that one, and quickly losing hope on Sing Yesterday. Glad Spiral’s been keeping up too.

  13. Jinx Says:

    I actually just got into SYFM. So YESSSS. :D

  14. redex Says:

    Ah, it’s so nice to see you guys updating again! I will be eagerly awaiting the new chapters of Spiral and am downloading at this very moment that little “something” of Sumomo Yumeka’s…

  15. spanky Says:

    Just discovered your site today, and am gonna try v01 of Sing Yesterday. Am looking forward to it - it looks interesting.

  16. Jinchi Says:

    Hopefully the new translator is still alive…

  17. Aliera Says:

    yeah he’s alive ^^; Lemme get a couple of scripts out to you..

  18. Jinchi Says:

    Great. Haven’t bothered to bug you about the translations, but I’m moving next week and then I’ll be without internet for about a month in worst case. Because of that I’ve tried to get as much to edit as possible in “store”.

  19. Anonymous Says:

    Thanks for the new Sing Yesterday. Glad to have you back. =) Also looking forward to the upcoming Worldend. Er, Fairytale. I’m not looking forward to the world actually ending. ¬ ¬

  20. Quasi Mortuus Says:

    Cool, just recently found SYFM, but I really like it, so keep up the good work! :)

  21. zz_pl Says:

    Thanks for SYFM I just love it :) You are doing beautiful job :D

  22. Tressflin Says:

    Wow.

    I’ve been waiting quietly for Naruto but when I saw Inane had some other activity going on, I finally decided to check them out.

    Spiral: My reaction to the first chapter was along the lines of “Well, they certainly were casual about the violent death of a school girl.” But I was hooked by the beautiful artwork, and after reading through the first chapter of Vol. 5, I must say I have fallen in love with the story as well. Thank you very much for introducing me to such a wonderful manga. (They could just call it Spiral because the logic makes my head spin, lol; I’m so easily fooled but I love how much thought the mangaka puts into this.)

    Purely out of curiousity, why are some random pages of Vol. 4 suddenly magazine-grey? I’m guessing just lack of editors, but I’m glad you released it anyway; it would have been killer to stop in the middle of that arc. I’m sorry I don’t have much experience editing, but I am trying to learn. Maybe I can come back and help you someday.

    Hoshi No Koe - I’ve watched the anime, but after reading the first two chapters of this, it looks like it will be able to get far more indepth. :) It’s too bad that Inane won’t be finishing this. I just went and found the two Inane chapters on #lurk (as Voices of a Distant Star), and after comparing Inane and MS (Tokyopop?), I’d have to say I prefer Inane. I love the Inane fonts/typesetting and the merging of the double pages. The other’s translations seem a bit - liberal? (ex. “beautiful” vs. “huge”? not to mention the first pages) I don’t know; someone the Inane translations seemed to fit the mood of the manga better (as well as sometimes making more sense). Ah well. Thank you for having done the chapters you did, introducing me to another beautiful manga, and even directly linking to the rest of the chapters.

    (BTW, I noticed that the MS version has several pages near the end of the second chapter that weren’t in Inane’s release; did they just add those pages for the volume version, since it explains better her motivation for staying? But that’s neither here nor there.)

    SYFM - Have yet to check it out. But after being so pleasantly surprised by the other two, I definitely will.

    Sorry for the long comment (doubt anyone will take the time to read it). But most importantly:

    Thanks again, Inane, for all your wonderful work.

  23. Tressflin Says:

    Woah. In that thin column form, it just looks even longer, lol. In case it gets glossed over, I’ll repeat this in a separate post:

    Thank you, thank you for all the work you’ve done!

  24. Aliera Says:

    Wow, that’s quite a speech :) Glad you like our releases!

    Hmm the only thing i can think of for the Hoshi no Koe, was that we were translating em from the magazine scans. usually when it gets published in book format they correct any little errors, and sometimes the creators touch up some of the art work, too, like you may have heard of hunter x hunter’s mangaka going back and redoing the artwork for the later volumes~

  25. Rael Says:

    well i read it ( SYFM i mean )
    i readed the italian version (yes, i am italian) and i searched for it…
    thanks guys, and good luck. . .

  27. Kuruccha Says:

    Hallo there :D Thank you very very much for scanning and translating (as well as sharing a direct download url :P) Sing Yesterday for me :D! *_* One of my friends told me to ABSOLUTELY read it, and I’m doing it right now :P

  28. Router-Jax Says:

    Hahah who wouldn’t love SYFM? XD
    That alternative styling, that alternative approach to the daily lives in manga. It’s truly an alternative manga that lives up to its name!!!

    Long live Kei Toume!! Long live Inane~!!! Im counting on you guys to translate this series out! X3
