A Scanlation of "Little Helper Lost"

"Little Helper Lost" is a wonderful comic about Little Helper (who I loved as a kid) ending up separated from Gyro in a far-off time and having to find a way back. The comic was created as part of a series that honored Carl Barks and is well-loved, but I don't think it's ever been republished for readers in the USA. This is my English translation of a German printing. Its German title actually means, "Little Helper: Lost in the Future" but I decided to go with the title the story is usually known by. There isn't much text in this comic as it's mostly dialogue-less, but I had a lot of fun translating it!

I'm trying to make a list of PKNA comics that haven't been scanlated yet - please let me know if any of these have been scanlated, or if I'm missing anything! (List is largely based on this.)

The actually important stuff:

Una leggendaria notte qualunque (25th anniversary story)

Rinascita

Metallo Pesante (sequel to Rinascita)

L'esperimento Abominio (though I've heard that someone is working on it) (30th anniversary story)

Meno uno all'alba (30th anniversary story)

Very Cool (probably an anniversary story?)

The less important stuff:

Appgrade (Universo PK and La Macchina del Fangus) (not canon to PKNA, but clearly spinoff media, released just before PKNE)

Ziche's single-panel gag comics (like this one)

PBNA (the Fethry parody)

The Dutch comics (though someone has started them, I believe)

Incubo Sul Fondo (scrapped PKNA story, first half is available as lettered sketches and the second half is just a script)

The alternative ending pages for PKNE #1

Why is it that I am still seeing 'I've been possessed' in isekai Manhua/Manhwa/Manga instead of 'I've possessed someone's body' which is accurate? I mean it's been years, is nobody explaining this to them? Is nobody letting them know it's incorrect? It's got such a huge fanbase and so many translators in this genre and manhua/manhwa are pretty hot aren't they? So why hasn't anybody told them this? I can't because I have no earthly idea how. But there's people who are in those discords right? To possess is to take something. To be possessed is to have someone take you. 'I've been possessed' means there is someone else in YOUR body. 'I've possessed someone' means you are in THEIR body. It's a small thing, but it reverses the whole meaning of the sentence. If you want something simpler then you can like, make up a new term. People would probably be fine with it. 'I've been isekai'd' is pretty popular for people in forums. Or 'Bodyslide' or even something like 'taken possession of' which makes it clearer what you're saying. 'I've taken possession of someone's body' is a bit awkward but WAY better than 'I've been possessed' when you mean the literal opposite.

With the release of chapters 14 and 15, we're wrapping up volume 2 of Monster in Sheep's Clothing/Hitsuji no Kawa... There are still some supplemental bonus materials we're planning to release but at least the bulk of the work for volume 2 is done.

In the time it's taken to get through volume 2, there have been a number of chapters published in the magazine; unlike Acid Town, Kyuugou is pretty consistent with chapters of Hitsuji in Chara, where the series remains fairly popular. I'm expecting there will be a volume 3 sometime early next year but that is just my guess.

I think I mentioned before, but we don't currently have plans to continue the series beyond volume 2. My free time has become very limited and the scanlation process is very time consuming. I think it would be different if we had reliable staff, but I'm doing most of the work currently with some occasional help from volunteers. I don't mind continuing to work on the series in my free time, but it would probably result in long wait times between chapters. I'd also prefer to wait for volume 3 to even start on any new chapters. Kyuugou is notorious for doing extensive touch-up work and revisions for the print versions of her manga; for instance, the chapter 15 we are releasing is from the print version of volume 2, and the first 19 pages of it didn't appear in the magazine. That's a big difference.

I don't have much else to add, I hope people enjoy the chapters and I'm curious what happens next. I fell behind on collecting the magazine releases so I'm genuinely in the dark.
