Ok people, since I haven't really decided what to scanlate next, I thought I'd make a poll and ask you all what you think about it :D
I did want to start with 10-RANKAI or KSL, but unfortunately 10-RANKAI still has her first sairoku (reprint collection) going around, and KSL just printed a 1+2 sairoku a few weeks ago, so both would be going against my policy right now.. I'm sorry! :(
I chose as "candidates" 3 books, that is "Zokkon Inochi", "THE SPEED STAR!!!" by DATTO! and "Getsurinka" by Datemaki. The first one is an anthology, the other two are by circles who have either left the doujinshi fandom altogether (Datemaki) or the Naruto fandom (DATTO!). They definitely won't get reprinted! XD
A short description of the books:
Zokkon Inochi (A life of mad love)
First Naruto x Sasuke anthology ever, published on 2005/01/30.
It contains short manga by: emi (10-RANKAI), Natsu (ROUGH), Aya Asanegi, Nino, Reichi, Kasai (Chimedori), Sai Sakou, Yayuu, Shima.
And short novels (but I won't translate them right away, since it takes longer) by: Arito Miyahara, Rena Koorizuki, Hisoka Wakatsuki, Kana, Ao Ichimiya, Aya Ikedayama, Miyuki Mori (Kyoukai no Mori), tora, RIKO.
It's about 100 pages, leaving the novels out. If I choose this I'd like to make a full release, I mean releasing the whole as an anthology and not the single stories. It might take some time, but they're not very complicated.
THE SPEED STAR!!!
circle: DATTO!
author: Shiino Yagami
First book by DATTO!, released on 2000/12/29 (mine is actually the 2001 reprint, but I guess the only difference is the newer comments). I have all of her books, so I'd like to follow the release order (same goes for any other circle whose full collection I own).
This one is 34 pages long and contains a long story about a magic mirror that lets you see your true self and 3 4-koma about Hinata being in love with Naruto. It's kind of SasuNaruish, but not explicitly so. Then again, most DATTO! books are sorta like that XD;
Getsurinka (Ignis fatuus under the moonlight)
circle: Datemaki
author: Pinokinyo
First book by Datemaki, published in June 2001. I own her complete collection too, so same stuff about following the order.
If you've ever seen any Datemaki book, well, this is quite different from her average works.. It's a collection of short stories, some of which gag (yeah, she's done gag too at least once in her life, apparently!), some serious. It's all chara, but the "main stars" are the ones whose name is written on the cover (as usual). No spottable pairings. 46 pages long.
Ok, now that you've read and looked at the pictures, vote for the one you'd like to see scanlated first! 8D
Poll Clockwork-Angel new release? Thank you very much in advance for your collaboration! :D
I'll close the poll when I finish this exam session (in about 2 weeks) and then I'll start working on the next release~.
