The Sacred Blacksmith Teaser

Here is the first ~14 Pages of one of the prospective series "The Sacred Blacksmith", feel free to share your thoughts...
I am still seeking actual Japanese RAWs for this series,
and probably will have the actual release of the entire first Chapter (60+ pages) sometime after I am finished with UB...

Decision

Alright, so I guess the voting was more or less done... and I got the result I needed...;p

So here's the plan after UB...
The Sacred Blacksmith: The highest vote count, so certainly I will try to do this... However, it will not be done until proper japanese raws are available, since the chinese raws are just horrendous (even though the quality is good, there are too many OOB and random crap for it to be done easily. some bubbles are oddly shaped, and there are random blurbs of their logo on random pages, which simply annoy the heck out of me, done like 5 pages of it so far, and already took me an hour)

Team Medical Dragon: I will be doing weekly releases of TMD, since the vote was the second highest... I will try to release a chapter every sunday, starting the coming sunday, and before then, I will have one done right after I finish UB V7, to commemorate the occasion...;p
This will be Mauzel's primary weekly release until a stable source of raws is available for The Sacred Blacksmith, which from then on will be coupled with releases in The Sacred Blacksmith.

Piano no Mori: I liked this series, but sadly, 2 series will keep me busy enough, given that I want to keep them steady releases... so, this wont be done, at least not any time soon, or if something *bad* happens to The Sacred Blacksmith.

Two more days until UB done...

I will be finishing up Vol7 in two more days... roughly, and from then, IIDX will pick up from Vol 8 and continue on...
So, I been thinking about what series to do next...
Here are a few that I am thinking,


Team Medical Dragon
A series left out in the sun, quite nice, and would be useful in my future plan's to be a premed...
Overall the series have already progressed up to Vol15, and we are left around at roughly Vol8ish, (I think).... which will mean we can seriously take our time with this... probably will be weekly in terms of releases... if not two per week... IMO, it will be a challenge with all the medical vocabulary, but will be useful later in life...;p

(Taken from Animenewsnetwork)
Plot Summary: A genius surgeon, Asada Ryutaro, is seen as a renegade in the eyes of Japanese doctors due to his methods. It follows the harsh workings of the hospital and it exposes the faults of the Japanese hospitals and how their system is not designed to actually care for patients.



Piano no Mori (Piano in the Forest)
Yet anoth
er manga left to rot... It is really a touching story in my opinion, and pretty much a slice of life... The animation quality is not as magnificent but the story does retain it to be one of the more worthwhile reads.
This have long, intric
ate dialogues, which will pose a decent challenge as well.

(Taken from Animenewsnetwork)
Plot Summary: A tranquil tale about two boys from very different upbringings. On one hand you have Kai, born as the son of a prostitute, who's been playing the abandoned piano in the forest near his home ever since he was young. And on the other you have Syuhei, practically breast-fed by the piano as the son of a family of prestigious pianists. Yet it is their common bond with the piano that eventually intertwines their paths in life.



and finally..
.
The Sacred Blacksmith
to my knowl
edge, this series was originally a Light Novel being made into a Manga, As of now, only 1 japanese Chapter was released, and to that end, it was released just a week ago... I am still having difficulties finding Raws... but... meh, Ill find it eventually... even if I have to use chinese raws.

If you have any idea on where to find the Raw for this manga, feel free to share...;p I would thank you very much...

*NEW UPDATE:... I still can't find Japanese Raws, so I may have to use the Chinese version as raw for translating... On the other hand, THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT GOING TO BE PG RATED...;p Its just like UB in term of rating, Seinen
On the other hand, it is looking quite horrendous with the sheer amount of "see through bubbles" and OOB, the story is overall a comedy, and will be quite... *cough* graphic *cough*... I should get around 10 pages of it done just for people to evaluate...soon...
STILL NEED HELP WITH RAWS...;p...Its from the Monthly Comic Alive, and it was out in the May release... (ok, I know that was like 2 days ago...xD)... My main goal for this serie will be either stable release if there is a good raw source, or try to tempt people to take up the series so I can read it...;p...so you can bet at least 1 chapter will be released

(Taken from Animenewsnetwork)

The wraparound jacket band on the fourth volume of Seiken no Blacksmith, Isao Miura's "unconventional fantasy" light novels, has announced this month that an anime adaptation and a manga adaptation has been green-lit. Artist Kōtarō Yamada (Fire Emblem: Hasha no Tsurugi, Etoile) will launch the manga in the May issue of Media Factory's Monthly Comic Alive magazine, which will ship on March 27. The first volume of the light novels was published in November 2007 with pictures by Runa, who also illustrated Miura's Jōtō light novel series.

The story takes place after an abominable war that foisted a "devil's contract" upon a land. Cecily Campbell, a former noble's daughter who joined a knighthood, encounters a man who dispatches some hoodlums with one sweep of a mysterious sword. The man possesses the power of the same "devil's contract" that has become taboo, now that peace has been restored. Cecily has been searching for a blacksmith who can repair an old sword she inherited from her father, and that mysterious young man happens to be blacksmith named Luke. This encounter launches their adventures together.

Long Awaited UB Vol7 Ch7

Ubel Blatt Vol.7 Ch.7... The bubbles are waaay to small...;p

On the other hand, I am finally getting the hang of all this scanlating stuff...;p

A Humble Appletistic Beginning

I always thought about scanlating something, and I guess as of now, I will be working on scanlating Ubel Blatt... Blame "Team Medical Dragon" for having insanely technical vocab...

The one who dragged me into this mess... would be accredited to a person named Suvi, who's capability to translate japanese -> english has given me the urge to get the rest of the current Ubel Blatt translated so they can work on Vol.9, currently only available in japanese, which I really want to read...

I'll be focused on scanlating Vol.7, in order to steer clear of conflict with other scanlators... But certainly, if the tempo slows down, I will always be there to grab the earlier ones...

I hope you love apples as much as I do, they are a source of important vitamins, and keeps the doctor away... As a matter of fact, I chomp down on apples whenever I do heavy brain taxing activities, and certainly, I chomp down on apples when I scanlate...

Welcome, apple lovers and haters, to Mauzel's Little Knoll...
