Artist Acro - Ch 23 (English)

 

 

 

Soooo... MD is down for a bit :( I have hope that it'll be back better than ever, all the power to the team behind it, and in the meantime I'll continue posting any new chaps of AA that I finish here! Which I have been kind of truant in doing, as Ch 23 has been done for like. Two weeks now or something. Hahaha. Well better late than never, right? I'm still managing to keep up the self-discipline when it comes to scanlating, so at least there's that. Without MD up, I'm more likely to actually post ch 24 once that one's done. Very curious about where all this is going, and from what I've seen in the raw we don't get very far (displacement-wise) in this volume, so I've been looking forward to making progress!

With that out of the way, hope y'enjoy Artist Acro Chapter 23, typeset in English!

Artist Acro - Ch 22 (English)

 

Chapter 22, done and up! Health hasn't been the best these past couple of weeks so my self-imposed scanlating schedule has been a bit disrupted, but it's nothing serious or anything so I figure I'll just take it easier and work at a slower pace. That's what my buffer for MD uploads is for anyway :) 

That being said, haven't got a lot to say 'cause the brain juice is low, so silly rambles remain on hiatus! You lucky folks :P

Artist Acro - Ch 21 (English)

 

Here it is, very late, chapter 21 of Artist Acro!! I finished this last week and then straight-up forgot to post it. Whoops. Once again pretty much reminded by blu's wonderful comments. Do I run this blog or...?

Kidding aside, we get a closer look at the inner workings of the Blue Knight subjugation corps in this chap, as well as some more introspection and progress (?) on Deco's side! I am very keen to find out what the outcome on his end is, it seems juicy now hehehe. 

Normally I'd ramble (read, whine) about the scanlating struggle for this chap, but honestly it's been too long so I just don't remember! :DDD So none of that today. Y'all are spared.

With that done, please enjoy Artist Acro Chapter 21, typeset in English!

Artist Acro - Ch 20 (English)

 

Chapter 20, done! I kicked myself in the butt and basically did the entire chap in one sitting 'cause I've been so distracted with other things, I'm worried I'm gonna drift too far away from this project. It helps that I've uploaded what I have to Mangadex so I feel like I need to hold myself to a higher standard of frequency lol. AND, I got the sweetest comment here, that kind of thing lights the little fire under my motivation hehehe.

Anyway, we make some spatial and emotional progress in this chap with these two (+Pickles), though most of the action seems to be coming up in the next few chaps. It was a bit of a struggle as usual to TL into readable phrases that still maintained a level of accuracy... but that's the status quo now with this series OTZ

Uploads on MD are currently a little behind this site, because I want to pace the uploads there a bit but it'll catch up eventually. I do recommend reading there, their reader is a lot nicer than what Blogger can do haha.

Artist Acro - Ch 19 (English)

 

19th story of Artist Acro! Had some time this week to actually sit down and get it done. Things are getting interesting~ I hope we get to see a new character soon!

Also since I have some more time over the end of the year, I'm considering uploading Vol 2 of Artist Acro onto Mangadex. Feels like a shame to just leave the chapters in this little backhole I've dug into the internet, and I have hope other people who don't know it already will enjoy this series too. There was enough of Buster Keel already released when I picked it up for folks to go searching for it of their own volition (which is what I had been anticipating) so I figure it's different with AA.

Anyway, that is to say I'll probs just dump Vol 2 onto MD sometime in the near future. But for now, hope y'enjoy Artist Acro Chapter 19, typeset in English!!

Artist Acro - Ch 18 (English)

 

Chappie 18! This one went a bit smoother thanks to less stuff happening and less pages in general (back to the short 18-pagers). It also helps that my Japanese is starting to actually get to the level where I can sorta tell what each sentence is getting at? @__@ There's still plenty of holes in my understanding at first, but I'm psyched by how much it's been helping keep the suspense and organic feeling of experiencing the manga at first exposure without all the translator-inbetween-ness and garbled junk it tends to spit out. In particular with the impacts in this chap. Oof.

This chapter also has a pretty neat play on words that I tried to work in, in the form of awkward English. I wrote a few notes to explain what's happening, but I thought it was really clever and I'm sure the genius is totally lost in translation :( never really encountered this kind of word play before in my short scanlating career so I'm not really sure whether to take it as a sign of improvement in personal proficiency or just my first time seeing it. Probs both? Hopefully? :)

All right post rambling is over here's Artist Acro Chapter 18, typeset in English!

Artist Acro - Ch 17 (English)

 

Hey-ho, made it back with the first chapter of Artist Acro Vol 3, Chapter 17!! It's been a while huh. Scanlating steam is a bit lower in pressure atm so this'll probably be the norm going forward, not really wanting any of that pressure in the first place lol. The first chapter in a volume is always an extra pain because of all the introductory content anyway, so I tend to drag my feet with these ones eheh. 

Forget about my problems though, this chapter is... oof. Let's just say I had some trouble capturing and conveying what the original text was going for, possibly because I was also addled by what was going on? Read it and find out for yourself!!

Artist Acro - Vol. 2 Omake

The omake (bonus) content for Artist Acro volume 2 have been finished and uploaded! There was quite a bit of content, and I even ended up whipping up a translator's note at the end (weird to be doing this for the bonus content). Pretty glad to see the end of this volume though, between all these small condensed chaps it's been surprisingly tiring. Looking forward to vol 3!

Anyway, check this omake out! I thought it was pretty funny and interesting stuff, Sakurai-sensei has a good sense of humour :P

Artist Acro - Ch 16 (English)

 

Managed to wrap Chapter 16 up quickly! That's the last chap of Vol 2, but there're a bunch of Omake (bonus) pages that I'll be editing separately since they're like, a 1/3 of a chapter in pages on their own. Pretty hyped to have made it through a whole vol of AA~ still plenty to go though :)

Here's Artist Acro Chapter 16, typeset in English, hope y'enjoy!!

Artist Acro - Ch 15 (English)

Chapter 15 of Artist Acro is donnnnee~ got really bored and so forced myself to edit AA lol. I thought I was losing some interest in this, but this chapter was surprisingly intriguing and I zipped through it pretty quickly. So here it is! More build-up and sad times :') but hopefully we get things resolved sometime soon. 

Speaking of soon, this is the second-last chapter in Volume 2! The chapters are real short so this' felt like a bit of a long-haul compared to Buster Keel, which had 4 chaps/volume. I'll be looking forward to the next one coming up shortly~ 

On a random side-note, I spent like an hour updating my screengrab script further to accommodate multi-chapter capturing. With AA chapters being so short, it's making it worthwhile to just grab a whole bunch of chapter raws at once instead of firing up the script for each chapter, so with a bunch of functions and folder management I'll be able to grab like, the whole of volume 3 in one go if I wanted to. But I probs won't, 'cause it's spoilery :)

Alrightsness, here's Artist Acro Chapter 15, typeset in English!
