Shini-tan Scans

Torrent | MU

Shini-tan Scans is now abandoning all efforts at translating SFX since it sucks and I (as in Hats) don’t even pay attention to it anyways. That and RNG told us to.
[20:28:07] <&Shini-tan> guys you know what I learned today
[20:28:09] <&Shini-tan> I hate sfx.
[20:28:19] <+Hats> !shini select keepsfx f5f5f5
[20:28:20] * &Shini-nyan chooses f5f5f5.
[20:28:25] <+Hats> I’ll type up the announcement

That said, if anyone wants to join as a typesetter+SFX translator, please leave a comment and/or join #fang-tan. We’ll get back to you as soon as one of us is online.

Blah edit: Just kidding. We’ll still try and translate SFX as much as possible (i.e. as best as I can find stuff online). Well, if anyone actually does want to join to help out on translation, please do. Volume batch will come eventually; if there’s anything that you think should be changed in any of the chapters, do tell us. So, back to Haruhi then, I suppose.

Enigmatic_Cube was jealous that Hats got to advertise his blog, so here’s an advertisement for his: http://enigmatic-cube.blogspot.com/.

Happy New Year~ Guess how we spent New Year’s Eve.

[00:01:27] <&Shana-tan> so in the end we did manage to play tenhou through the new year
[00:01:29] <+blah1234> lol
[00:01:30] <+Hats> yes
[00:01:31] <+Hats> yes we did
[00:01:35] <+Hats> good work guys

Note: Tenhou = online mahjong

Earlier that night, on MSN:
(5:57 PM) [Hats]: can you tenhou tonight
(5:57 PM) [Nored]: on new years eve?
(5:57 PM) [Nored]: what do you take me for, some kind of loser?
The reason Nored never gets on IRC is clearly that he has to pretend he isn’t some kind of loser who plays mahjong on New Year’s Eve.

Nothing really to say, so have more random stupidity from Nored:
[21:47:50] <+rerun2323> what is bible black?
[21:47:56] <+Nored> a romance anime
[21:47:57] <+Nored> watch it
[21:48:05] <&Shini-tan> brb facepalm
[21:48:13] <+Nored> BIBLE BLACK IS VERY ROMANTIC OKAY

We of Shini-tan Scans celebrated Christmas by playing online mahjong. How about you?

Also, as a note, pages 48-49 are a pain in the ass to redraw properly, which is why there’s the white bar in the middle. Just disregard it, especially if you obsess over that kind of thing.

Chapter 3 will be out soon; just needs to be typeset. I guess we’re finishing this off before working on the next volume of Haruhi.

As previously explained, the existing scans suck, and we have better (I dare not say perfect) English anyways.

Enjoy your Kanade.

Blah edit: We decided to just base our TL off of the existing ones; they’re perfectly fine, but there was just some editing and fixing up that needed to be done, especially since BoysDeMo’s scans were done from Chinese raws. These are also tankoubon scans, so we won’t be releasing as regularly as other groups; it depends on when the volumes are released in Japan and when the raws come out.

P.S. Happy holidays.
