Here ya’ll go:
Now, as it relates to the extra pages and epilogue which appeared in Volume 9 of BL, our translator – js06 – has agreed to do it ‘eventually’. Naturally the weekly/monthly series he’s doing will take priority but we have his word that he’ll do it so the next step is to wait. JS posts like 2 or more scripts per day plus he has school so I won’t be pressuring him about it.
I’ve told him to not make it exclusive to JAC, reason being that the current raws out are only for perusal and not scanlations. The ‘book-like’ format in which it was scanned makes it unsuitable for scanlations, so I won’t be using that. I’ll be on the look-out for a better raw, but anyone is free to use his script and produce whatever quality scan they want.
Lastly, the volume will be released by Viz Media in July of this year: Click Me This fact actually makes me very reluctant to scanlate it even if a raw does come out. JAC encourages all readers to purchase the volume when it is available in your area, because these people kinda need money too. So I personally think that if you really want it…you should just get your own copy in July.
Ijo.

Thanks for the release, looking forward to the epilogue.
Thanks!
You mean waiting 5 months for a maybe Viz release?
Are we that shallow a fan group of Black Lagoon?
It’s not a ‘maybe’ release. It’s a definite. I don’t understand why you’d say ‘shallow’. Am I obligated to do this for you? It was what…5 months before scanlations of the series restarted because I asked a translator to do it. You must’ve been really damn shallow back then.
It’s so amusing how you’ve ignored the fact that js06 says he’ll do the translation, which means you can scanlate it yourself. After all, a fan like you who isn’t interested in buying the actual thing is the best kind of non-shallow one there is.
Thanks for the chapter 😉
And thanks for translating the epilogue of volume 9.
