DDL: [It’s Not My Fault That I’m Not Popular! Ch.22
DDL: [Mediafire] | Online: [Reader]
Surprise, the chapter was delayed again because I am still playing PSO2. (158 hours) Even more of a surprise is that ツインテール/Twintail has seemingly returned from thin air and cleaned this chapter. And a third ‘surprise’ is that we are slightly on hiatus while we/I figure out what to do with all the secret staff we have now. But I think you knew the hiatus part already.
Q: Akatsuki no Memoria WHERE? You said before second cour, and it’s second cour already!
A: Was stalled due to needing TL. Is being actively worked on now. No ETA. Might even release in bulk.(?)
17/7/2012 Edit: To quell confusion, YES, we’re still doing this manga. Regularly.
It’s Not My Fault That I’m Not Popular! Ch.21
DDL: [Mediafire] | Online: [Reader]
Release was delayed because I’m busy playing Phantasy Star Online 2. Everyone else is diligently working on things. I’m still uncertain how to handle signs in this manga because I want to do them with notes like the poll says, but that’s kind of weird looking sometimes. Oh well. Back to grinding.
Don’t Cry, Girl Ch.06
DDL: [Mediafire] | Online: [Batoto]
And with this, we bring Don’t Cry, Girl to a close. We–well, I mean me–took a long time to get it done, but it was still very fun to work on. This last chapter threw all the redraws at me to fix, which took a bulk of the time, but it was a good way to experiment with some redrawing stuff anyway. There’s a ‘bonus’ chapter at the end of this volume that has nothing to do with the actual plot, nor does it even have the same characters, so we decided to skip on it. We may do it someday, I doubt it though.
A batch should be in the Mediafire folder if you want to get it all at once. As for “What now?” we have 3 projects basically stalled, you know the ones. To the girl e-mailing about it, Cosmos needs to be rescanned. Properly. (Working on it) Sorairo Square needs to be cleaned up, and I’m already all over Akatsuki no Memoria, gotta at least get something out before 2nd cour…! Oh, and we have a Projects page now. Yeah.
Anyway thanks for following along these 6 chapters. Hope you had fun reading!
It’s Not My Fault That I’m Not Popular! Ch.20

A bit of a delayed release, since I’ve been feeling really under the weather lately. But also as a means to spend more time on trying to actually QC properly, in the hopes of maybe quelling the amount of complaints we get on mistranslations; which we might still have. (We’re looking for some TLC help!) Remember to voice said complaints so they can be fixed and all that, just don’t be mean about it.
Still got Don’t Cry, Girl Ch.06 to complete, then it’s off to doing all the other stuff we have to work on. Hopefully I can keep up!
It’s Not My Fault That I’m Not Popular! Vol.02 Omake
DDL: [Mediafire] | Online: [Reader]
Volume 2’s been out for a little over a week now, but raws only surfaced recently, so we went ahead and translated the Omake just like last time. There’s a short of a author thing at the end of this one that sheds a little more light on the Twitter ‘incident’ and who they are as a duo.
The volume itself has already sold over 60,000 units in it’s first week, placing it in the Top 10! I for one, as the person that typesets thing manga, find it to be spectacular. Seems we, as a collective whole, managed to change Japanese perception once again. It’s pretty neat.
Edit: Key error on the last page; I neglected a “not”. Should be fixed now. (Too late for aggregate sites.)
P.S. HP batches aren’t there yet, since I got sick again. Should pass soon though.
Should also change the tag from “Loser Girl” to “Watamote” but it’d probably mess up RSS feeds.

Volume 2: Chapter 00
DDL: [Mediafire] | Online: [Reader]
And with this, we end the long road that is Houkago Play. It really has been a long road since we picked it up after kyonkundenwa last October. (Last October…?!) In that time the chapter’s passed from purely my hands, to K and Sector89. Was pretty cool to directly see how it was approached by another perspective. The ending itself is more or less a mystery, but maybe it was a good end? The world may never know.
The “Chapter 00” is the chapter at the very front of volume 2, that shows all the main characters from the volumes. Apparently it was never translated, so a fan requested us to do it, and so we did. What does this mean for Houkago Play now? I don’t know really. The story is technically not over, since I own a copy of Houkago Play R. Maybe we’ll do it, maybe not. We’ve got a lot on our plate still, behind the scenes.
Either way, it’s been fun. I hope you all enjoyed reading along, as much as we did working on it.
Batches will probably come tomorrow/very soon, for those waiting. Watch the DDL.
It’s Not My Fault That I’m Not Popular! Q&A
[So Gangan Online had a “Special” Sommelier Q&A with Nico-sensei, author of this manga, for the release of the second volume. Wherein they ask 7 questions ranging from “What was your favorite part” to the ‘incident’ on Twitter. Initially we were just going to do a text based translation, but come on, that’s boring! So I went ahead and rippedtook all the relevant information from the original page, and re-edited the entire thing into English. Well mostly. Was it necessary? No, not at all, but it’s pretty fun to do cool things like this.
Sorry if it breaks on your browser, I didn’t really test it outside of Firefox/Chrome.
Oh, and after the ‘break’ there’s two videos by akatuki1130 where she voices chapters from the manga.
[NSFW] Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou Ch.03
The latest chapter has finally been released! With that though, this will be the last time I write about it here. Primarily because it has it’s own website now, but it’s also mixed in with personal reasons and whatever. It’s good to have a manga picked up officially by a group, but it’s not that stellar when said “group” does a rather… mediocre job, as well as gets a kickback of sorts from it. But that’s just me though. うふふ。
If you like it, please do go over there and show your support and all that. Any blog-related stuff here will probably stay. I might keep keep on hosting it on our own reader, but if they decide to do host it locally there too I’ll remove it then. Got uploaded to Fakku, just read it there.
Also It’s Not My Fault I’m Not Popular is out in stores! If you have funds, do consider buying a copy.
