Lost Rememberance Doujinshi

I have a theory: releases come in bunches. it doesn't matter how hard I try to stagger things or spread them out, they'll all somehow manage to be done at the same time. Look back at our release history if you don't believe me.

Anyway, here's a snazzy doujinshi Goral found somewhere on Baidu. Thanks, as always, to MiniMp3 for translating. KCU has moved out so I can't negotiate proofreading in exchange for housework anymore ;_;

Enjoy!

If you want to help with translating the long version shout in the comments below, PM me over at mangahelpers, track me down through tumblr or otherwise make your intentions known. Utsune the Great and Good is swamped with Real Life right now and isn't able to commit to it T_T

Also, here are all the pretty pictures in case you don't want to go to Batoto ^^

"Hot or not?" Claymore Tournament

Vote here

You can see the details here. Basically you either vote "hot" if you think that a Claymore/AB shown is attractive or "not hot" otherwise. The initial round will help to cut down candidates to 32 Claymores/AB, can't be simpler. I encourage every Claymore fan to participate in this.

I have no idea when the scanlation will be out

Thanks to SuppaiNoRingo it has been cleaned very well and all that remains is copying and pasting translation which we don't have yet. The raw has arrived later this month and I'm not even sure Gernot got my message and whether he has started working on it already. My guess is that he's more busy than usual so it may take some time before he starts (and finishes it). I recommend to subscribe to our RSS feed (use Bamboo reader for example) so that you would be notified the moment it will be out. Otherwise you might be disappointed each time you will visit this blog.

In the future I would prefer to inform anbout the status on MangaHelpers forum so that there would be mostly releases here instead of posts that do not bring much relevant content.

Claymore Databooks - Databook 1, page 4

Since it doesn't look like we will ever have any databook translated into English, here's one page that I was able to scanlate thanks to Dza9000's translation:

Imgbox | Imagebam | Translation by Dza9000 (.txt file)


I was wondering whether to edit my previous post and add it to 129th chapter news or make a new post but I decided to do the latter (despite giving you 1 page only) since I still hope that someone who knows Japanese or Chinese will volunteer and translate at least pages 5-9, 13 and 15-22 so that we would at least have Databook 1 translated. More details here.

I've added original .txt file that Dza9000 has sent me in hopes that someone could proofread it and check the accuracy of the translation. particularly, I don't get why there is "commerce" in B-01 section. I've also made some proofreading myself so it's possible that I've made it worse than it was (who -> whose, soldier -> warrior and few other things like that, nothing major) so I would appreciate any feedback, suggestions and most of all help :].

Oh, and I didn't know who to credit for the raw so I've left it uncredited. It looks exactly the same as Chinese version I have so if someone knows who I should credit, please let me know.

P.S.
What little of Databooks we have, you can find it on Mangahelpers.

Claymore forum (Animesuki v2)

I would like to introduce you to new Claymore forum which has all topics and posts that Animesuki Claymore forum has, plus more. Since Animesuki Claymore forum was closed down by illogical and spiteful moderators, besides Manga Helpers forum there is no decent place for Claymore fans. So I recommend checking it out. It's exactly like Animesuki forum except anyone can create a thread and you don't need to ask a moderator with a big ego to do it.



For now it's on this server but it would be best if it could transfer to claymorefans.com but 42$ (33 euro) are needed. So in case you're interested and can help, please do.

The admin is limao who's a webmaster/programmer and there are quite a few Animesuki old-timers there. So every Animesuki user (and every other user for that matter) should feel at home.

Claymore awards

At Manga Helpers 3 days ago started a competition in which users nominate and later vote for Claymore candidates for awards in categories such as:

- Best Claymore Character
- Most Overrated Character
- Best Human or Black Coat Character
- Best Awakened Character
- Most Underrated Character
- Most Emotional Scene
- Favorite Quote

and many other.

All in all there are 20 categories and up till March the 5th you can nominate your candidates and later you will be able to vote on your favourites. I encourage any Claymore fan to do it.
