UPDATE on Gun-ota / Chio-chan no Tsuugakuro

Evening.

Quick update on two series, sorry it isn't good news.

FIRST - yes the lesbian thing is almost done, gimme a few days.

I finished scripts on Gun-ota Ch.13 last week, and decided to quit translating the series.
There really isn't anywhere the story could go at this point which would keep me interested and engaged - I could list a litany of problems here, but it's more simple that that - I don't look forward to translating it any more.

I'm happy people have enjoyed the series and I'd stay on as QC if another translator is found to continue the project with Let it Go Scans.

So Chio-chan no Tsuugakuro was sniped a week or so ago by another group while our Ch.05 was in editing.
I talked to Kusugu, and figured it wasn't worth continuing in competition with another group, who seem already busy working on Ch.06, so the project's dropped for the time being.

---

I don't like to blog so I haven't mentioned it here before, but the two scanlators I aspire to the most are Boon and Hox, and how efficiently and skillfully they've been able to handle projects alone.

I noticed Hox named himself after something he studied in college, and after taking three years of analytic philosophy I chose Tetsu after 哲学 (philosophy) and 徹夜 (to stay up all night working on something).

I know at present I'm not really prolific or skilled at what I do, but I think the more I've learned about how I work, the less I'm inclined to work within groups.

Again, apologies to those who might be disappointed - thanks for following Chio-chan and Gun-ota thus far and hopefully look forward to more in the future from different scanlators.
