on hiatuses and other things
Hi there, just wanted to apologize for the months of silence. As these things usually go, real life suplexed me; the external drive with all my scanlation files died, and I got caught up in a bunch of other issues that made scanlating near impossible. Still, that was no excuse to go MIA without a word to anyone (esp the groups I committed to helping), so I’m really sorry about that. I took down my blog posts for a while because I was generally discouraged about many things, scanlating included. That was a huge dick move on my part, especially once mdex went down. I’ve definitely been on the opposite side of hunting for vanished releases and I know the frustration that comes with it, so I’m also sorry to anyone who tried to find my scanlations and couldn’t during these past several months. My posts should be public again soon! And as a reminder, I upload everything I’ve scanlated to https://milkco.imgbb.com, and I’ll never take that down. I hope to get back to scanlating, health and computer issues permitting. The second season(!!) of Day Off just started and I plan to scanlate that soon. For now, I have some previously unreleased stuff for you in the way of apology:
The first is a hefty 44-page chapter I finished nearly eight months ago, but never posted publicly because I wasn’t satisfied with my translation. I lost the PSDs for it though, so I’ve decided to share it as is. It’s called Ei (or Ying, if you go with the Mandarin pronunciation) and it’s a gorgeous manhua about a teenager who gets reunited with his childhood crush… with a twist. Read it on tumblr, or read it on imgbb.
The second is a Day Off high school AU that Qingcai posted on social media a while back. It’s a whopping 42 pages long and a departure from the usual longstrip style, but it’s still cute as ever. Read it below the cut, or read it on imgbb.
The third is the bonus chapter that came with the physical Day Off book. (I haven‘t worked with physical scans in forever and I didn’t have the heart to de-bind my book, so pls excuse the iffy quality!) Join the discord to read this one, since I don’t want it to spread on the internet. As always, I hope you enjoy! :)
