Status on Karakuri Douji ULTIMO

Hey fans,

I want to apologize for my treatment of this awesome series lately. I do have a bunch of back issues of Raws to scan, but have been holding off as I do not have the time currently to translate it. I know, I know…you ask “But you translate Shin Prince of Tennis, why not ULTIMO?” Because Ultimo is much wordier and much longer and I can’t translate it in my sleep like I can with Prince of Tennis.

If you are a translator and are willing to take over translation duties of this series for me, I will gladly scan the RAWs and send them to you!
However, unless said translator can take over for me, This series is on hold until I have more free time. Sadly, I am no longer a young and fresh university student with hours upon hours of free time and have to work 8 hours of my day with a 1.5 hour commute distance to my office….that means 11 hours of my day no longer exist anymore….

So, sadly, this means I don’t have time for translating this series as of this time. JAC will still do it if we can get translations, however until then it will be on hiatus.

Luckily, Viz has currently caught up with where I have left off ^^;; I’ve even been told their translations are not bad! If you really need your fix, please read the official releases.

If you are a translator and you are interested, please make a comment here or send me an email directly to saitheshaman@shamannet.com

Can you scan the official releases here? I can’t buy them in my country!

Thanks for the news on Ultimo. Then, can I possibly know the status for Dr.Rurru?

kazandra, we would never scan the official release. The main purpose of scanlations is to provide manga when they are not available or waaaaaaaaaay behind the actual release.

So if it’s available, we would encourage you to try and get your hands on it in support of the mangaka and publishers.

I’ve cleaned the entire upcoming chapter with just a few redraws left, I too love this manga, I just wish there were more translators. I do know the Japanese lady who sells videogames to me all the time, maybe I’ll ask her ;) .

I came by just tonight to check on this series, seeing that you guys are the latest scanlators..

I’m just glad to hear you have the RAWs for the next chapters.

I hope it gets translated soon.

Thanks.

Wrong!: BL scanlations are up to date. The manga went on an unexpected hiatus, so once its back, things will resume.

C-C-C-Combo Breaker! :P

Thanks Ivory!!

Its probably due to the ongoing OVA releases.

Looking forward to some awesome typesetting from your side ;)

Aww shucks….’awesome typesetting’ huh? You’re making me blush. :D

Left by Ivory on August 19th, 2010

Awww…well, that’s a bummer. I never liked Viz’s translations (they’re a little too “cleaned up”), and they’re not that caught up (unless you subscribe to SJ). But, yeah, I totally understand the 10 hour job and 1.5 hour commute.

Any thing new about Tegami Bachi?

Left by kazandra on August 19th, 2010

CitraZaoldyeck:

I have the next chapter after our last already scanned. You can download it here: http://jacgroup.zetsuboushita.net/downloads/raw/Ultimo/Karakuri_Douji_ULTIMO_16_HighRes.zip

Please see if you can translate and then email me when you are done so I can look it over ^^

Left by SaitheShaman on August 22nd, 2010

Cant you just post all the raws? that way we can get some kind of preview instead of waiting for the English translation to come out.
