The final zine

Hello! Thanks for checking our translation of the Triple Ace zines. We've currently reached all the zines that spoil only up to what's been published in English! Go catch up with the story on webtoons before you read them.

The last zine is already in our hands. HOWEVER, it was made after the story ended and thus has spoilers for everything, including the epilogue. We've decided to hold off from translating it until the ending of the story has been translated too. Thank you for understanding.

But there's more! As you may know, the fast-pass of Triple Ace is currently 15 episodes ahead, that means, if all remains the same, paid readers will be able to read the ending of the story 15 weeks before free readers.

We want to ask what do you think. Should we publish the translation of the last zine when the last episode is released in Fast Pass, or should we wait until it's made available for free 15 weeks later?

Please note, THE ZINE TRANSLATION WILL ALWAYS BE FREE, but publishing with Fast Pass means you'll still have to pay to read the official ending of the story if you don't want to get spoiled. We want to do this because we hope it encourages people to buy the last episodes and support the author.

Please abstain from voting if you understand Spanish, this is a way to help English speakers enjoy the story.

When should we publish the translation for the ending Zine?

When the ending is released on Fast Pass

When the ending is released for free

Volume 3 is out tomorrow!

This is the third volume of the printed Spanish edition.

Pía's Announcement:

Hi guys! ❤️ The third physical volume of Triple Ace will go on sale on May 1st, published by @planetadelibroscl, and now @pageonechile opened pre orders for those who wish to pay in advance with extra gifts. I'm sharing the cover to celebrate together the new release and I'll go to Santiago at the end of May, so pay attention to my socials to see if there's a signing event or something else ❤️. I'm also hoping to do a signing here in Iquique, I'll tell you if anything comes up. Hugs and thanks as always for your support.

International fans who want to buy this book (both in and outside of LatAm) can order it from Book Delivery/Buscalibre (buy from the international website or check if they have a dedicated page for your country!).

Chilean fans will be able to find it on bookstores around the country starting tomorrow, but if you want an special signed edition with extra gifts, check PageOne's pre-order (they have few units left!).

BUT THAT'S NOT ALL

Pía has made all four zines for Triple Ace free to download!

From Pía's Instagram:

To celebrate the release of volume 3 of Triple Ace and thank all of you, I wanted to gift you the 4 zines in digital format so you can download and read them. The zines are little magazines I released between 2022-2024 with a compilation of mini comics, sketches, etc (several I had already posted on social media). I wanted to have all the extra content of Triple Ace in one place. Be careful though, since these have spoilers from season 1 and 2!! The download link is in my stories. I want to thank once again all the people who've supported the comic in many ways, be it buying the physical volumes or reading on webtoon. From now on I'll be working on my next projects and I'm very excited for you to come along in what's coming. Big hugs.

The zines are available here. Please download them and give them a high rating to support Pía! I'll update the pinned post with this download link so anyone can have access to them in the foreseeable future.

As Pía mentioned, keep in mind these zines contain spoilers up to the ending of Triple Ace, which hasn't been published in English yet. I'll make a proper breakdown of what each zine spoils later so you can read accorddingly to where you're in the story.

Finally, I have great news: for those of you who don't speak Spanish, Pía has given me permission to translate the zines into English! I'll be working on them starting now (I ask that you be patient!). In the meantime, please support the Spanish version and the Webtoon.

What's new

Finally, I'd like to apologize for leaving this blog empty for so long, last year was very hectic. Thank you for your patience and I hope I can be more consistent with this blog from now on.

New episodes

The latest episode is 49. We're already on season two! You guys are lucky you didn't have to wait after the end of Season 1 for it. The ending of the original run was episode 86, which means we're at 57% of the story. Please look forward to the rest of it!

Extras

If you didn't know, Pía just made all compilatory zines of Triple Ace available to download for free. These zines collect all the extra stuff posted on social media, as well as new content exclusive to them, such as character profiles and behind the scenes commentary. Even better, I just did some calculations and the first 3 zines only spoil up to what's been published in English, so after you catch up you're good to read them! (Zine 4, of course, was made after the ending, so don't check that one yet unless you want to get super spoiled!) I'll be translating those from now on instead of the individual posts on Instagram, but I'll keep an eye out for anything that didn't make it to the zines (I think there's a few extra colored illustrations for when Triple Ace won a local BL award, but I'll have to check).

Physical Media

If you also didn't know, Volume 3 is out tomorrow. By now the webtoon release of the English version is ahead of the printed chapters, but if you're still interested in owning the printed versions, they come with extra art and a little AU comic that's never been released online.

"When will they print an English release?"

DISCLAIMER: I'm not Pía, nor am I associated with her, her editorial team, Webtoons, Planeta Manga, or anyone in any official capactity ever in the world.

The best way to go about these things is making your interest known to your local publishers. I don't know how it works in English speaking communities, but Spanish printers often host request threads where they ask people what new licenses they'd like to see, and they acquire and translate them based on what's popular or comes up a lot. If you ever find your favorite printers openly asking for requests, let them know Triple Ace is in need of a physical English release.

Please remember that authors often have little to no control of translations and sales in other countries beyond their own, but rather it's publishers who have the power (and money) to bring them to you.

Development sketches 👀💕 Yesterday and today I had some unexpected events so I couldn't finish the illustration I had planned for today 🥲. Either way I took this chance to dust up the first sketches I made while I was thinking of the story, I think it's very funny that before I came up with the last names of the characters I called Mamani and Matte "Alejandro 1" and "Alejandro 2" 😂 #triplenacional

Original caption (2021-09-12):

The Alejandros 👯‍♂️ I wanted to make this illustration to promote the release of EP 5 but I didn't finish in time 💔 Either way, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank all the people who've written messages congratulating me about the articles and mentions in national news about Triple Ace, and I also want to use this time to clarify some things since some outlets have said some incorrect facts (some saying I have 41 million readers 😂) the comic has been running for less than three weeks so it's all just starting, I hope you stay with me as I tell this story week by week and maybe some day we'll reach those 41 million (???) 😂💕 Thank you, everyone, seriously.

Cultural Notes

This little gag is based on Chile's national holidays. Let me explain what the characters are referencing

Fiestas Patrias / 18 de Septiembre / Dieciocho

Literally translated as "Patriotic Celebration", also called September 18th or just "Dieciocho" (The 18th; no matter the time of the year, if someone talks about the 18th they're talking about September). Marks the date of the First Government Body (18th) and Day of the Glories of the Army (19th). Not our independance? Well, that's in February, which is summer over here, so it was decided it would be a waste to have a holiday on a time of year where people already rest. Having our biggest holiday during winter let's us have a break we can look forward to while we work. Remember the end of year Holidays also fall in Summer here.

The actual holidays last two days, but depending on when it falls in the week, we might also get the 17th or 20th off. On top of that, celebrations don't start on the official calendar holiday but at the very start of September and going strong until the last day (be it the 19th or 20th), after which we spend the rest of the month hung-over resting from all the celebrations. If you're thinking about visiting Chile, this is, in my opinion, the best time to soak in the culture and have fun.

Fonda

A fonda is a traditional gathering done during September as a way to celebrate our culture. They take place in the open (though they often charge an entrance fee) and have different activities to pass the time: food booths (the main attraction, very meat focused), traditional games, music and dance, and rodeos (though the younger population has been calling for them to be banned since they rely on animal cruelty for entertainment).

Terremotos

An alcholic drink made with low quality white wine, grenadine and pineapple ice cream. The name literally translates to 'earthquake' because it leaves you shakey and dizzy like an earthquake (we would know ;)).

Cueca

Our national dance. Traditionally composed of pairs of men and women, though same sex pairs aren't frowned upon. It's inspired by the mating rituals of chickens.

One pie de cueca (cueca foot) is a short one minute song that follows a defined dance pattern. A complete dance is three pies de cueca.

The top student is a fake!?

Alejandro Mamani has the best grades in school but it’s all thanks to his perfect cheating skills. His whole charade falls apart on the day of the university selection exams, where he answers blank. Unexpectedly, on the day of the results, he wakes up with the surprise of a perfect score that hasn’t been seen for more than 10 years, awarding him the title of the “Triple Ace.” However, there is a professor’s assistant who knows his secret and won’t let him get away with his lie.
