Hi, first thanks for your hard work. Is there any possibility that you would finish Cat and Bed? I loved it... All the best

Hello! Thank you for the ask. I (senn) took an unannounced hiatus because the scanlating community wasn’t good for me, and it was also starting to affect my health and work amongst other things. I’m actually surprised some of my works haven’t been picked up by another group by this point.

I don’t know when I’ll return to translating, but I do have a special place in my heart for cat and bed as well as honeyberry, so if I do work on translations again those two are the ones I definitely want to finish up. I’ve considered working on them very very slowly whenever I have spare time, but it’s been difficult to find openings where I’m able to do that. Basically, I really want to finish it but don’t have the energy or time to. I’m sorry I can’t give you a more concrete answer 😔

Where do you get the raws for cat and bed?

renta.papy.co.jp. But the site is all in Japanese, so if you need a guide to navigate it just let me know and I will do my best to try and help!

hello! tysm for translating cat and bed so far! its one of my favorite manga’s so it was such a find when i found it, i was wondering when you guys will be updating?

Hello! Thank you for asking. This has been sitting in the inbox for a few months now and I’ve been trying to find a way to answer...

More or less: I’m not sure. I myself (Senn) have been thinking of leaving scanlation, but it would also be wildly unfair to all the readers if I just left my work unfinished or didn’t find any team to hand it off to.

I still love scanlating, but it is extremely draining and tiring, and at the end of the day, a lot of readers don’t care about the quality of the pages/translations. I know many do, and I am very grateful for the support I’ve gotten, but a vast majority just do not care. And it made me think—I’m doing this work, and for what? People to tell me I’m not translating fast enough?

In any case, I am on indefinite hiatus, but I do still hope to wrap up Cat & Bed as well as Honeyberry. I had many other projects I wanted to work on at my own pace as well, but everything has just been very tiring. For now, no I am not just up and disappearing even though it seems like I do that once in awhile, but I cannot say when exactly the next update will be. I’m sorry for that and wish I could give a more definite answer.

Synopsis: “Nice to meet you. I’m just a lowly junior to you, right?” Rich, handsome, and hardworking college student Yoon Jaesung was not fond of the way his senior Lee Hyun returned to school and suddenly took his spot as top student of their department. On top of that, their first impressions of each other were awful! Completely unlike Jaesung, Lee Hyun secretly transforms and lives as a streamer deep in the night. Meanwhile, Jaesung who never had reason to envy anyone in the world is still shocked beyond words that he was knocked so easily from the #1 spot. What will happen when their secrets collide…?!

However, just one kiss creates a gap in their relationship….

Raws: https://renta.papy.co.jp/renta/sc/frm/item/220287/

This is a very brief 2-shot series portraying the very quickly developing relationship between Okamoto and Yonezu ^^ You may perhaps recognize the artist from their other works that are very spicy and intense, but it was refreshing to work on such a pure and short project!

Sorry that this one was a bit behind schedule--school is kicking my ass.

[sin-senn-scans]

wow ive never seen a shittier looking official translation(i mean for seasons cafe

Yeah I mean it’s....... definitely something 😐

- pages are stretched out or oddly compressed

- grammar and spelling errors kinda everywhere

- names aren’t spelled correctly either...

- looks like they use the one same font for all typesetting—dialogue and thoughts and SFX

- looks like there was no proofreading? dialogue is kinda stiff/awkward and tone isn’t translated very well

and for this to be the ‘official’ from a company that makes money off this.... I wonder if the author/artist knows what this official is doing to their work :|

Seasons’ Cafe Official

Some of you may have heard, and I had a friend notify me this morning that Seasons’ Cafe has an official translation. It’s linked here for you to check it out. (or it seems that the link doesn’t want to work for some cases, so feel free to look up seasons’ cafe on m.wecomics.com and it’ll come up, maybe try this)

On that note... if you did go to follow the link (the first few chapters up until the part that I have publicly released, coincidentally, are free to read, and I believe chapters unlock and become free to read as time passes), you can very quickly see that the quality of this ‘official’ translation is absolutely horrendous (I can tear it apart in more depth, but anyone can tell that it’s full of typos, poor proofreading, etc). I’m now very torn between continuing this series or dropping it and letting people read the... official. Please let me know what you think. I think this series deserves the highest quality I can give, and I personally don’t think that wecomics is delivering in the best way. (if I do continue, I may just slow down releases so people can be encouraged to check out the official)

Of course, I still encourage you to check out the link, and at least scroll through the chapters that are available (I’m not exactly sure how wecomic gets their income from the free chapters, but if zooming through it gets the author money, then I encourage it).
