This is a secret release, don’t tell Meiru or Puchi about it.

Alien 5.3 — DDL: [Mediafire] | Online: [Reader]
As it turns out, there was nothing at all wrong with my transmission. A hose connected to the crank case just imploded, causing a vacuum leak. Unmetered air was getting into the engine, which is what was causing the bizarro issues I’ve been having in the recent past. $380 later, this is no longer an issue. Yeah, that sucks. But you know, when it comes to vehicle repairs, anything under $700 is generally considered pretty good. Had it actually been a transmission issue, which is what I originally thought it was, I’d be looking at a bill of at least $1k, probably more. So yeah, it could have been a lot worse. I’m just glad to have my truck back. ^_^
As for Alien, the end is in sight! Episode six will be out in the very near future, and that will conclude the series. I have kept my eyes and ears open, but it doesn’t look like there’s any evidence of more to come. The current volume is the only one out there, and I sincerely doubt we’ll ever see a second one.
Shinda Watashi no Monogatari / “Grave Tale” Ch.01

This year, like last, we planned to do porn for New Years. ‘Course because nothing really goes as planned none of said porn has come out yet, until now. It’s another Fuuga thing. Hooray!
I was going to do this originally, but then Scorpian said he liked Fuuga so he started doing it, only to realize his grave mistake in having to deal with these balloons and how every instance of the brother being mentioned as “Onii-chan”. Fast-foward weeks of just hating life and battling this ‘Onii-chan’, it was eventually completed. And then another month later for me to get around to uploading to sad panda. Aha…
Please fix the tags because I’m autistic. Thank you.
Will we do the other five chapters? Maybe. If no one else bothers to do them in like three months.
What is wrong with my transmission?
Alien 5.2 — DDL: [Mediafire] | Online: [Reader]
So I was poking around enterbrain’s website yesterday, and looky here at what I found. Apparently, a second volume was released half a month ago, and I didn’t know about it. I wasn’t expecting it. v1 came out in September last year, and considering how long it took him to work through Alien, I wouldn’t have guessed another one would be out this soon. Yikes. Well, my request from the last post still stands. If anyone is willing to help out with it, please let me know.
Oh yeah, and here’s another part of Alien. Or something. I guess. I dunno.
Attention-grabbing title!
Alien 5.1 — DDL: [Mediafire] | Online: [Reader]
I’ve tried to advertise a different series with every episode, but I ran out of ideas here. And thus, we’re back to this little gem. I guess I can semi-promote it here. If anyone’s interested in translating it or the likes, please let me know. I already have scans, and I call dibs on editing the script and lettering it.
Anyway, 5.1 is also the first part where I started experimenting with a new, more advanced lettering style. CloudSplitter BB has autolig support built in (I only use OpenType fonts), but it also has different variations of each letter tied to the upper- and lowercase characters. Keeping that in mind, I swapped between versions when two of the same letter were near each other. I also found that this sometimes resulted in different character widths, so I utilized that to tweak the final line width and make it fit the balloon shape more naturally. Well, in addition to manually stretching/condensing the character width for the entire line, that is. Way too much effort? Probably. Worth it? I think so. Feedback is always welcome. Any comments on my lettering style are appreciated, so long as they’re constructive.
Akatsuki no Memoria Ch.12 & 13 + Houkago Play R Ch.01
Memoria 12 — DDL: [Mediafire] | Online: [Reader]
Memoria 13 — DDL: [Mediafire] | Online: [Reader]
Houkago Play R 01 — DDL: [Mediafire] | Online: [Reader]
Today we mark the end of another great volume, but also the beginning of another (potentially). Memoria 12 has been done since before April, but I missed the release day for it, and 13 wasn’t even done, so I skipped the next week, and now it’s here today.
Since Cosmos has been sealed away for a while, I focused all my remaining energy into working on Memoria. I still have no idea what it is about Lagrange that I like so much, but I really like it a whole damn lot. I look forward to seeing what the next volume has in store… as soon as I get around to buying it…
But also, I decided to up and release this first chapter of Houkago Play R that I did as a test run to figure out fonts and placement. As the last page of the release implies, it’s a recruitment ploy…! So we are looking for people to work specifically on this, but can bring whatever else they want, or work on things we have already.
If we get no one it’ll default back to me, and well, I work on a whole lot of other things here, on top of struggling with a MMO addiction. Thus if it did default back to me, it’d most likely get put on the backlog until I get around to it. Which may take seemingly forever as you may know. That is why I’m begging recruiting!
–Batch for Memoria will probably be out next week. Because there’s some errors I want to fix. As well as realizing “Guerrilla” has been misspelled this whole time. I’m a terrible person.

So this was actually done a while ago, but I was just too lazy to release it. Expect more timely releases in the future. Hopefully. I’m not terribly good at conveying accents, but if enough people want me to, I can start trying from this chapter onwards(If I do, I’ll go back and try and match the previous chapters to the accent as well). Also, Houkago Play R is being TL’d(first two chapters are done), and the walls of text are already making me want to kill myself, but it’ll only see the light of day if people go on our newly created IRC channel to bug Meiru to letter it. Either that or apply to letter it yourself.
