(go read Cesare by ETC!)

Go read Cesare ch1 out by ETC! It’s by the mangaka of Eternal Sabbath, and it’s about Cesare Borgia in olden day Italy. Think Cantarella, only better

Crossbone Detectives bonus story (end)

Hello all! Today we’re finishing up an old project, Crossbone Detectives. This is a one volume manga we did by the same author as Worldend Fairytale, Maki Hakoda. If you’ve been keeping up, the main storyline was finished already, so here’s the bonus story that was at the end of the volume!

Ch5 bonus story (end)

Or if you would like to read the complete release from ch1 (including today’s release):

Crossbone Detectives Complete

And the old post has been updated with a link for Spiral v04 too.

Also there’s going to be a big announcement about Inane’s future coming up… I’ll let it be a surprise, but we’re going to be picking up some very, very good manga that’s been overlooked..

Spiral: Help us speed up releases!

Aliera — Sat, 24 Mar 2007 21:01:33 +0000

Another thing i would like to change around here is the pace of the releases. I know we’ve been unpredictable at best when it comes to release times, and i’d like to change that. For spiral alive, it’s just started up again, and runs in a monthy manga magazine so we’re not that far behind at all. For Spiral though, the series finished at 15 volumes, that’s a lot of work ahead of us.

So yeah, here at Inane we do have our reliable spiral editor Shin, our wonderful spiral translators Siobhan and Geng, and our own scans up to volume 8 (and tanks up to 12), but it would be even faster if we had another editor and translator working on spiral. To that end i’m looking for:

A skilled translator- Spiral’s got furigana and it’s not difficult to translate, but i’d like someone to help us out who can do a chapter every 2 weeks. In the past, we had no deadlines, and mostly it just ended up having lots of potential translators drop out on me. So please, you need to be able to fit translating into your schedule. And of course you need to be a fluent english speaker as well as having a good grasp of japanese.

Experienced editor- in the past i had more time, enough to teach newbies how to edit. Unfortunately, I don’t anymore, so to apply, please email me some samples of your editing work to aliera[at]gmail.com, particularly redrawing backgrounds or double pages. Something that shows your skill at their best. And again, while Spiral is not too difficult to edit, you do need some commitment.

And if you have any questions, don’t hesistate to leave a comment here or email me~

Seeing double

…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…

Naruto (Status)

June 15th, 2008

Again, our distribution plans aren’t in effect yet, so please keep quiet about this and when we do the release. When we’re ready to go public again, we’ll make our own statements.

I’m not sure yet what chapter we’ll release, but it’ll either be the tankoubon version of a backlog chapter, or the shounen version of the latest. We’ll move on to releasing weekly again after we complete our plans (may take a couple weeks). If things move smoothly, the weekly releases will include both the latest chapter and the next backlog chapter. If time permits, we’ll increase the volume of backlog chapter releases.

(Has anybody stopped reading at chapter 289 to wait for our release?)

Spiral (is) Alive

Aliera — Sun, 18 Mar 2007 21:25:34 +0000

Hello out there!

A new release today: Spiral Alive ch1. This manga is a prequel to Spiral, and is about Narumi-otouto’s older brother Kiyotaka. Spiral, as most of you probably heard, ended at 15 volumes, and the author has gone back to working on Spiral Alive again. It’s up to volume 2 so far.

Chapter 1 here.

Also, i know some of our earlier releases have become hard to find, so you can get the earlier volumes below:

Spiral v01
Spiral v02
Spiral v03
Spiral v04

(Though if you’re looking for specific chapters you’ve missed, i’ll be hosting them for a while here.)

It’s been a while….

Aliera — Sat, 17 Mar 2007 20:34:52 +0000

More releases and news coming soon, for now, enjoy these releases:

Spiral v04 ch17
Spiral v04 ch18
Spiral v04 ch19
Spiral v05 ch20
(end of vol 4, start of vol 5)

Claymore ch6
Claymore ch7
(project dropped)

What’s REALLY going down:

auvixa — Tue, 20 Feb 2007 12:53:30 +0000

Inane is not dead like many of you believe. The Naruto project is being worked on. It’s gone under a lot of revision, and there’s a lot in store for the big release. We’ve also agreed that once it is released, we won’t ever fall behind again. The staff has also been talking about other projects and relaunching this website. I can only assure you about Naruto, but I know something is going on with Sing Yesterday For Me, Spiral, and ~~Twin Spica~~

Hello… anyone still out there?

Aliera — Thu, 09 Nov 2006 21:28:01 +0000

Initial D 370 is released, courtesy of Xplo^bn. Our xdcc bots aren’t working, so for now you can download them off the web, check the botlist in our IRC channel for the links (or look here)
If you were wondering what happened to Inane, don’t worry, you’ll be getting a really long explanation shortly. (^^;…..)
