All right! Here it is! Done! Fini! η΅δΊγγ！
This last chap took me almost the whole month because of the usual end-of-volume Omake shenanigans, plus the mini one-shot thingy at the very end (which is not much extra content tbh, the omake strips are much better in terms of relevance). Also, I've been extremely pooped this June due to various things going on and didn't have as much time to scanlate as I liked.
But it's fine! All's good! I made it! According to my archive, I released my first chapter of Artist Acro (chapter 7) in early September, so it only took me less than 4 years to scanlate all remaining eight volumes (about 75 chapters). Only.
But considering how I'm an amateur hobbyist one-man show, and I got down to a point where I was scanlating like 1 chapter a month at most before bouncing back, I still think it's pretty impressive. And I got the main thing I wanted out of this - closure. A chance to read this delightful series to it's end. I'm personally very satisfied with just about everything - from the actual characters to the plot and the final ending. I remember seeing a comment on this series somewhere that complained about the ending being bad, so I was bracing myself for something Buster Keel-esque rushed, but it really wasn't! I'm glad it got what it got done - and I hope the readers to come will enjoy it just as much as I did.
As for what's next, I still have no concrete plans - I never found a new series I wanted to pick up, nor have I found anyone to pick me up, but I've also been a bit too busy to take the initiative on either of those fronts myself, so who knows, once I wind up with nothing to do I'll figure something out quicker. The one thing I have been considering more seriously is to purchase and re-scanlate volume one of Artist Acro - it was already done by a different group years and years ago, but the quality is rather... lacking, so that's on the table for me right now. Otherwise, I expect I'll enjoy a bit of a break from furiously scanlating, and will look forward to whatever I get into next, whether it be here or elsewhere!
To anyone who's been following along since day one or just found any of this mess of a blog today, thanks for being here! I've had a great time with both this series and Buster Keel beforehand, and I hope my work will give others a chance to enjoy them both too π
I don't know how I wrote this much given how tired I am right now, but I think I'm done... so give Artist Acro Chapter 81 (END) a read, and you can say that you are, too ^^
All the best! Have a great and safe rest of June~
