This unfortunately also hit the Medarot chapters I've been uploading. Will let you guys know once we find an alternative.

PSA: MangaDex unfortunately had to comply with a C&D and honor DMCA takedown requests for hundreds of series, including almost everything we have worked on in the past 5+ years. We are currently looking for an alternative.

Yesterday MangaDex, the platform we use to upload our releases, was hit with DMCA takedown requests from all major publishers and had to remove hundreds of titles. This unfortunately included several of the title we worked on. The following series are no longer available to read on MangaDex:

Vinland Saga
Shiori Experience
Tsureneko
Historie
Pet
Zashisu

We are currently looking at what options we have to continue hosting our releases, and how to prevent this in the future. For the time being, you should be able to find the chapters removed from MD on respectable aggregators like comick dot io.

We will let you all know when we have an update.

Yes, absolutely! I just had such an enormous backlog after getting back from my break that I only go to working on chapter 9 again this past weekend... 😅 So hopefully I'll finish that by the end of this week!

I will be taking a one-month break of all scanlation activities due to some (extremely positive!) personal stuff which leaves me with little to no time to work on scans for the time being. Medarot chapters will resume in March!

Chapter 8 is delayed a bit because I'm recruiting some more people to help me out on this project! Hopefully this will mean we can start putting out chapters at a good pace without me doing everything myself! Stay tuned. 😎

Chapter 2 is out! We will aim to release 1-2 chapters per week, redoing the ones from Heavenly Scans until we reach chapter 14, where we'll start to translate ourselves. Those chapters will most likely take a little longer.
