Happy Hakuouki’s 16th Anniversary

18th September 2024

It’s been more than three years since I’ve known Hakuouki. Time flies.

This is one of my favorite Chizuru I’ve drawn so far!

This version is more accurate to the draft. I love how simple it looks but with the need of an outstanding congratulating text plus how unsaturated it is(my personal fav sry not sry), adding frame just feel slightly more right.

Which one do you prefer more?

Saito's Short Story from the Manyo no Shou Special Edition Booklet

Saito’s story is simply hilarious and I greatly enjoyed translating it. Have fun reading this one! 🥰 (All the emoji/kaomoji are my own additions. They are not in the original text.)

(This is… What should I do?! 〣( ºΔº )〣) 

On a certain afternoon, I was asked by Vice Commander Hijikata to summon Yukimura  Chizuru. I went to her room and called out to her through the shoji. Since there was no answer, I called out again just in case, and opened the door. And then there was the sight of Yukimura sleeping with an innocent, baby-like face.

 (Why is she sleeping when it’s still bright outside?) 

She never napped at this time of the day, at least not since she started living at the Shinsengumi headquarters.

 (She must be tired from all the hustle and bustle recently, with the moving of the headquarters and the new recruits joining the Shinsengumi. But how defenseless she is, falling asleep like this. There are many soldiers in this headquarters who don’t know her true identity…) 

Anyway, since the Vice Commander told me to summon her, I have to wake her up. 

(She looks so comfortably asleep. I feel a bit sorry to wake her up) 

“Hmm… cough.” 

I coughed first and waited for her to wake up, but——

“zzz…” 

She didn’t seem to wake up, and just kept breathing, relaxed in her sleep. 

In that case—

“Hmm… cough.”

I decided to cough louder than before. But still, I couldn’t feel any sign of her waking up.

(Why won’t she wake up? If it was the usual Yukimura, she would wake up right away. Could it be that she is way too exhausted?) 

If that’s the case, I am reluctant to force her to wake up and take her to the Vice Commander. 

(Then, what should I do…? Should I go back to the Vice Commander’s room and report the situation as it is?) 

But I immediately dismissed that idea. 

(No, I can’t do that. If I tell the Vice Commander the truth, he might say “What is she doing, sleeping at this time?” and scold Yukimura.) 

But still, even if I did make a sound, she didn’t seem to wake up. 

(Then… do I have no choice but to shake her awake?)

I thought that and reached out to her, but…

“Hmm…” 

Yukimura stirred slightly with her eyes closed, so I hastily backed away and kept enough distance to avoid being misunderstood. 

“S-sorry! I’ll have you know, I wasn’t thinking of anything shady. The Vice Commander told me to come and get you!”

I hurriedly tried to explain why I was here, but… 

“Hmm, hmm…?” 

At that moment, Yukimura’s eyelids twitched slightly. I realized that I had woken her up because I was loud and couldn’t help but regret it inwardly. 

Soon, Yukimura’s eyes opened and she looked at me with a dazed gaze.

“Ah, Saito-san? Why are you here…” 

Yukimura’s big eyes blinked several times. 

Driven by the urgency to explain why I was here, I blurted out. 

“I never meant to intrude here with ill intentions! I apologize for entering your room without permission, but I called out to you once from behind the door—no, twice. But since there was no reply, I just opened the shoji to check on you! Do you understand what I’m saying?🥺” 

“Y-yes! I understand. I’m sorry for not noticing your presence sooner.” 

Yukimura bowed her head in embarrassment.

Seeing her like that, I felt rather guilty instead. 

“No… you don’t have to apologize.” 

“No, that’s not…” 

Yukimura just bowed her head and the conversation came to an end.

 (This is bad. This is not Yukimura’s fault. Why can’t I handle this situation well? At least, I have to tell her that she’s not to blame.) 

As I muttered words of self-reproach in my mind, I noticed that Yukimura was staring at me. 

“What is it?” I asked.

“Ah… Saito-san, you had something to tell me, right?” 

With that question, I finally remembered why I came here.

“Ah, the Vice Commander said he had something to tell you. Probably, he wants to hear about the progress of the treatment of the soldier who was injured the other day.” 

“I see. Then, I’ll hurry over. Thank you for letting me know.” 

Yukimura said that and bowed her head slightly. 

“I’ve delivered the message. Well, I’m going now.” 

I said that and stood up. 

But just before leaving the room, I thought to myself.

 (Isn’t it too unsympathetic to leave the room like this?)

Even though I had to do what I just did, it’s a fact that I entered Yukimura’s room without permission. I apologized earlier, but I don’t know if my apologies have been conveyed properly.

“…Saito-san?” 

Yukimura’s voice came from behind me, as if she felt something was wrong with me standing still at the door and not moving.

I glanced back and saw Yukimura’s face looking up at me with a worried expression. I told her this.

 “It’s fine to take a nap since you must be very tired recently, but in that case, you should at least cover yourself with a haori or something similar. You’re the one who’s responsible for the health of the soldiers now, so it would be bad if you caught a cold.” 

The moment I finished speaking, I was tormented by regret, thinking that I should have said something nicer. 

But Yukimura…

“Yes, thank you, Saito-san. I’ll be careful from now on.” 

She said that with a sincere expression and bowed her head.

“Uh, um… well then. See you.”

I left that one word behind and finally left Yukimura’s room.

Then, as I was walking down the hallway– 

“Hey, Hajime-kun? What are you doing there?” 

I heard Souji’s voice from behind and froze on the spot. As I turned around, I said. 

“Souji… I just came to deliver a message to Yukimura.” 

“Oh… it seems to be a pretty long message, though😏.” 

I don’t know how much he saw what happened, but I swear, I… 

“Let me tell you, what I did just now was only to convey a message from the Vice Commander to Yukimura. There was nothing suspicious about it at all.” 

“Yeah, yeah, I’ll let you have it your way.” 

He said in a tone that sounded like he was snickering, and then started walking. 

“Wait!! It’s not ‘letting me have it my way’! I’m simply telling the truth! Listen to me, Souji!” 

After that, I explained the situation to Souji in detail, but it was of no avail. 

(The end.)

Announcing: The Closure of Suibian Subs

It's never truly easy to make these type of announcements... but what would I know, I've never had to make one like this before:

I am announcing the permanent closure of Suibian Subs. The public discord server and translation work will cease.

As for our downloads, we are still deciding whether to offer them on our tumblr - which will stay open - or if there is a better solution going forward.

Please note that this doesn't mean everyone should race to upload MDZS audio drama to Youtube!! We still do not appreciate our wishes being broken.

However, if you have a friend who's downloaded the audio drama, you can have them share with you privately either online or in person. Do not upload it for the public anywhere.

Treasure Chest subs is currently working on MDZS audio drama subs. Please find their information to get access to their downloads, and respect their rules.

Thank you everyone for your kind words and support these 6-7 years.

If you're truly wondering, this closing is not about the server hack. It's 10% server hack and 90% member interest. The server being hacked is what really brought things into perspective for us. That is:

It's just time.

A little note from kittykat2010 down below:

From kittykat2010:

It's kind of hard to believe this all happened because I was impatient. LOL

I was impatient and decided to try MTL translating the MDZS audio drama, myself. We all know how well that would've worked. Luckily, the first person to contact me was iarrod before I released anything

"Since 2018, Suibian Subs has been providing quality subtitles, especially known for subtitling the MDZS audio drama, for fans to enjoy worldwide."

I never really thought it would be of such significance to hundreds of people. It was simply a passion project between iarrod and I. Then we added a bunch of other members: Gwyn, askcj1, Yen, and several more that have left over the years... and the rest is history.

Yes, people come and go, life changes, they need to take a break, then a "break" turns into leaving. Sometimes personalities clash and drama ensues. And the group either recovers from these types of changes or struggles to come back to its full glory.

I will certainly miss the camaraderie among us, the random chats, the streams, etc. It was all a fun time in my life that I will look back on and cherish.

Thank you especially to all of the team members, translators and subbing team, for sticking around, enjoying the good times and not-so-good times. Thank you iarrod for helping me out when I was so damn impatient - ha!.

Thank you to those members who have left for your work and dedication to the server.

Thank you fans!!!

Those who have donated (when we had donations for the MDZS audio drama team), those who have thanked us for our work, and those who haven't. Those who have told everyone that the MDZS audio drama is the best adaption of the novel and the best/only place to watch is through Suibian Subs.

Again, thank you everyone. Suibian Subs and its fans will truly be missed.

Discord Server Hack - it's gone. For now.

Yes, our Discord server was hacked. The entire server was deleted, channel by channel.

The culprit also spammed an extremely rude image. Apologies for those who saw that travesty.

For now, we do not have a timeline for what will happen next. If there's a way to get a backup, great. If not, we may start a new server. I will continue to report here on what's up.
