NegiRamen welcomes its newest member, Orpheus, to the team!

Orpheus is the mysterious translator and editor of chapter two of Soushisouai Note. The twisting byways of the internet and the chains of fate have conspired to bring us together and we're celebrating this union with our first release of the project Orpheus brought with him. Lending weight to the saying about how if you want something done right....

Fair warning for moe addicts: Kishizuka Kenji employs a more realistic drawing style and panders little to traditional manga character design. But if you like a longer story arc and characters with cute personalities, you're sure to enjoy Katekyo.

Mmm, the Dynamic Duo has become the Terrific Trio! Now if we can just sign on a proofreader, we can be the Fantastic... oh, wait.

:P

Anyway, welcome, Orpheus!

We have learned a valuable lesson:
More proofreaders = more people complaining and arguing over last-minute changes = a delayed release with more people pissed off. Where do we sign on more proofreaders!? :twisted:

How does that saying about negotiating a deal go? If both people walk away feeling screwed, then it was probably a fair deal....

By that logic, I think we have a great release here! Hahaha

If we had a dedicated proofreader, I could have one person to focus my annoyance on.

Ah, compromise...

Hi everyone, I hope you're happy to see a new release :)

Whether it was the twisting byways of the internet or the chains of fate at work, alongside a handful of eerie coincidences (like how I used to have an alias in the past that was directly related to name Negi Ramen), truth is I'm very pleased to have become a part of the team, and hope we get to work on a lot of projects together henceforth.

About Katekyo; I decided to start off by paying tribute to a very underrated artist (albeit one of my favourites), Kenji Kishizuka. There are very few works of his that have been translated to the moment, and while browsing through his raw books, this 4 chapter piece caught my attention, so I decided to go with it. Stay tuned for the continuation in the near future.

If you like what you see here, then be sure to check his other work "Mix Edge"; it has 4 chapters out already, courtesy of kusanyagi.

Well this is a pleasant surprise. I just saw someone requesting this work on another site not too long ago. Kenji Kishizuka's more realistic style is a nice break from the "anime-ish" style (I guess you could call it) of other mangaka. I'll be looking forward to the progress of this H-manga.

Anyways, welcome to the team, Orpheus. I hope you'll enjoy working with Negi Ramen. I'll be looking forward to more of your translations especially for this book. Good luck to you and the rest of the team in future endeavors.

P.S. Thanks for the release.

Yikes! Well if you cross that site again, make sure to tell 'em it's being done. There's nothing more frustrating than posting your latest translation and then finding out another group did it just a few days before.

Oh, but for that our fourth member would have to be a girl. Would you go as far as unleashing yesterday's fury on a girl? You're the devil. :twisted:
