Hey, thanks for your Work on love stage. Very grateful for that. I was wondering if you could do this other series that was recently dropped by its scanlation group. It's called "Cyclops Shoujo Saipu", a 4 koma, 4 per chapter manga. There is about 80 chapters left not translated and I'd appreciate it if you were to pick up this series. I will happily provide the raws for it.

Hi, glad you enjoyed it.

Sorry, I probably won’t be doing that. >_< I’m not an official scanlation group or anything... provide only the translations. The work I do for love stage is actually done with like a makeshift team each chapter JUST for Love Stage because we were already fans of the manga before it got dropped. Not because we want to pick up all the manga that got dropped. Like I get messages from people who have the raws. Then I get messages from people saying, “Hey! I’ll do the cleaning for this chapter!” And then I take them up on the offer. And then I translate it and pass on the translations to the lovely lustfulcat who typesets things. She was the only one I approached at the beginning to work on this with me, because she had expressed interest in love stage before. So, every chapter has different contributors to it and it’s all because we like love stage and want to be able to read it and know the story and then pass it along to everyone else.

I’m sorry! I hope someone picks it up though.

Regarding Translating my Translations into Another Language

Hey! So I don’t check this blog often, unless the new chapter of Love Stage comes out... so I apologize for not answering all the people that were asking me if they could translate the English scans into another language!

But, the answer is, and this applies to everything else in the future unless otherwise stated, it really doesn’t matter to me! I mean, all I did was translate something from Japanese into English... it’s not like I own the work or came up with the story. Seriously, it probably takes me 30-40 minutes at most, so I will not be offended if you use the translations to make your own translations.

Oh, and you don’t have to ask my permission! Just go ahead. If you wanna credit me, that’s cool. If not, that’s also cool. But maybe some people want to see if there’s an English version, and you can direct them to me. All I ask is that you not hold me accountable if the Japanese --> English --> your other language translation ends up less than optimal >_< I mean, I try my best to translate things correctly, and to kind of adapt slang or speech mannerisms or sayings to be more understandable in English... but as we all probably know, playing this telephone game of translating from one language to another language and to another language sometimes causes things to lose meaning. 

TL;DR YES, you may translate my English scans into whatever other language you may desire. And NO, you do not need to ask for permission first.

Thank you so so so so so much for the new chapter!!!!!!!! Are you a new scanlation group?/going to pick up the next chapter too?

You’re welcome!

And pft, hardly. The people who worked on this project are all people that came together independently just for this title (though I think they do freelance or other work with other groups too, so check them out!) I’m just using this account to post updates about scanlations and the releases so that people can follow this blog if they’re just looking for things pertaining to chapters (I don’t want them to have to follow my personal blog and wade through the hundreds of other things I post when they’re just looking for things about scanlations). And directing asks or complaints here is easier. 

As for next chapter, it actually is supposed to come out within the next week. And again, it depends on if I can get the raws or not! But if I do get a hold of them, I think it could happen again.

Love Stage 26

(Mega)

Sorry for the long wait. As promised, here’s Love Stage!! ch. 26! Go crazy with it. I just ask that you don’t remove the credits page please!

And also, sorry for how tiny it is! But if you open it with a photo viewer (like say, Windows Photoviewer), versus with Photoshop, it looks normal (even if it’s not the most HQ).

If anyone can provide mirror links, that’d be great! 

Thanks to lustfulcat for her typesetting, anpanmayo for cleaning, and jou0016 for finding the raws and sending them in!

LS26 Updates

Translation is done! 

Now I will wait until tomorrow night to see if I can find or get any better quality scans (chinese or japanese) so we can give you guys a prettier scan before passing it off to cleaner and TS-er! If any of you know chinese and can maybe navigate chinese sites and find an HQ chinese scan and send it this way, that would be great! There's only so much I can do with Japanese sites! They're so strict on online scans and other things leaking...

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE.

I got the raws thanks to jou0016

lustfulcat, you still on board to TS this?

Looking for Love Stage 26 Raws

Looking for Love Stage 26 Japanese Raws. If anyone has any info, send it along this way please! Again, Japanese only... Thanks to those who sent the Chinese raws, but I can't do anything with them because I don't know Chinese! :P

Hopefully we can get the chapter out sooner with your help!

Love Stage Ch. 25

Here's Love Stage Chapter 25 in English. Sorry it took so long (I know there's a really rough translation floating around out there already done by another person, but I promise we tried to make this more understandable). Please don't remove credits page and don't tag it by its full name so we don't draw out attention, but otherwise... go ham with it you crazy kids ;)

The official English translation isn't out yet, so we may plan to do the next chapters until they actually come out... then we'll decide what our next course of action is. Please try to support the official release, whether it be through buying the anthology it runs in, or the tankouban. Or maybe even merchandise.
