DICE, chapters 158 and 159 (reader)

And here they are, no need to hang yourselves!

DICE 158

DICE 159

The originals are here and here. Visit them, scroll down and if you know how to, give them your liking to support the author. The latest English official release by LINE is here.

Lots of people to thank this time. Jay, our always dependable back-up translator, covered for Jin for chapter 159. Two of our partners for the Spanish DICE joint, Camelia and Akiyama Shinichi, relieved Fábio from part of the redraws on chapter 158.

Come to think of it, I have to salute you heartless leeches of society, too. You have resisted the abstinence stoically. We received no complaints, no one ranted in the comments, we were even lucky not to see any speedscans in the meantime to kill the mood. Our sincere gratitude to all. We'll keep doing our best.

Jin and Fábio will be back for 160 and onwards, but I've posted an ad asking for more back-up redrawers so we can minimise the risk of perfect storms like this one in the near future.

Delay notice (chapter 158)

Well, it's pretty obvious for everyone, but always worth announcing.

Jin's buried in real life this week. She began the script, but has since been unable to finish it. Fábio has been busy this week, too, but he has already begun redrawing it. Unfortunately, Blue Fairy speaks quite a lot this chapter, so it's a tough one.

Please hang on there, we'll deploy countermeasures and get the chapter out as soon as we can.

Update: the chapter is translated and typeset, but redrawing will take a while longer.

Flying in the darkness, chapter 02

Yay! We have a complete team!

A warm welcome to Joseph, our new editor, who will partner up with Soyoung for this short series.

Thanks to everyone else to applied! Recruitment for this series is, as of now, closed.

As before, Jin will drop by eventually to remove the white frames (I'm still useless for that). You can find the chapter in Batoto as well.

Flying in the Darkness, chapter 01

SURPRISE!!

We have a new project!

The backstory is very interesting (in my opinion). A couple of weeks ago, I was approached by Soyoung, the translator, who told me she wanted to help out with DICE. I told her we already had Jay as our back-up translator, but would gladly contact her in case of need. She then said out of the blue: "Well then, how about I help with something else?"

I thought "Well, why not?" Jin greenlighted it and after a brief search for a project no one is doing, we found this one in Foxtoon. It's only 25 or so chapters long and we don't know much about it yet, but Soyoung will be translating and Jin cleaning it… if we find a redrawer and a typesetter (or someone who does both things). This series is much easier than DICE, so if you are interested, read the announcement in the end of the chapter and contact me!

By the way, this series will be released here and at Batoto, but not in the Death Toll Reader as there's no need.

Enjoy! And congrats on your first scanlation, Soyoung!

DICE, chapter 157 (reader)

First, the chapter:

DICE 157

Then, the reminder: please visit the original to support the author (I hear it's even better if you scroll down to the end and give it your liking). You may also visit the latest English official release by Naver.

Then, the announcement: we'll go back to our more relaxed release pace. In other words, this week's chapter may well become the new normal, same as the old normal before we started doing same-day and same-weekend releases. As we hadn't really updated our policy of same-week releases, this shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

Of course, early releases may happen again as freebies.
