Ashita wa Docchi da! Volume 7 Chapter 32:

Online reading link will be G Drive till Mangadex is glitch-free. Please refrain from reuploading this chapter there or on manga aggregator sites.

Thanks to Amaichudoku for the cleans. 

Enjoy the release!

Progress...

Expect a release soon ♡

Illustrations from the countdown to the release of Ashita wa Docchi da! Volume 7. There are some more strips sensei’s shared on twitter but they reference certain scenes from the previous volumes and aren’t that fun out of context so I left them be for now...

We're back with this manga! Technically, Volume 7 releases on December 1, this chapter is scanlated off the magazine raws.

I'd mentioned releasing this chapter some time in November so I'm super relieved I could stick to that timeline (barely!). Initially I'd planned to work on Tengoku in the interim, but real life hit me like a ton of bricks and that schedule went out the window. But with things looking better on my end, I'll try to grind out the rest of the volume as & when I can.

And I'll try to release the volume 6 bonus papers in the near future.

For now, enjoy this chapter!

P.S. I encourage anybody who sees this post to download the chapter — and not just this one, but all our releases in the past & future. The downloadable files are HQ and uncompressed, while the files I upload on Mangadex are a little low quality, as I know other manga aggregators will rip off it and I’d rather they not get the best output. So if you like to enjoy your manga in the best quality, download the files!

Enjoy the release!

Synopsis:

While travelling across Japan, Kitahara Minami is pushed off a boat by a beautiful woman he met for the first time. After managing to swim to an island, Minami comes across a bespectacled young man who pronounces, "You pass."

The young man, Yuunagi Tenma, is the owner (guard) of Paradise Isle and since Minami reached the island without dying, he qualifies to be hired. A stunned Minami is told by Yuunagi, “From this day forth, you shall be my manservant!”

So he starts working on the island alongside beastfolk, some of whom are part-dog, others part-bird.

One day Minami spies Yuunagi bathing in the sea at night. Yuunagi says it is a ritual to welcome 'guests' (customers). What exactly does Yuunagi mean by 'guest’, and what is the purpose of the island? Puzzled by all these mysteries, what will Minami do?!

And we’re off with another manga by Yamamoto Kotetsuko-sensei! Working on this project wouldn’t have been possible without Kana from Amaichudoku and her stellar cleaning skills. Mad props to her for flawlessly cleaning the tanko cover. She designed the credits page too!

Tengoku is a fairly interesting story but volume 1 is light on the romance. Most of sensei’s recent mangas have been about the slow burn, the only one I recall in which the MCs screw in the first few chapters is Honto Yajuu and that was, like, a decade ago. So don’t go expecting them to get it on right off the bat. From what I can tell, this is going to be another long-running, multi-volume manga; Minami and Yuunagi’s sweet moment of release may well be several, several chapters away.

Anyway, enjoy your Sunday with this new release!

Project pick-up: Tengoku no Monban

YESSS WE’RE DOING IT!!!

I’m collaborating with the amazing people over at Amaichudoku for this project. I’ve talked a bit about Tengoku no Monban on my main blog: it’s another fantasy manga by Yamamoto Kotetsuko-sensei, featuring an isolated tropical island, fascinating beastfolk, supernatural phenomenon, a mysterious uke and an average Joe seme caught up in this mess and trying to make the best of his circumstances :D

The first chapter is completely cleaned and 50% translated. If things go according to plan, you’ll get to see it by next weekend!

I want to wrap up the first volume of Tengoku by December so we can seamlessly pivot to scanlating the new AwDd volume. It seems doable but... you never know. Wish us luck!

Just because we’ll scanlate this manga doesn’t entail that you can’t support sensei by purchasing a copy. 

Since the last fantasy(-ish) manga sensei published in Rutile — Toritan — got licensed by SuBLime, I’m holding on to the hope that Tengoku will too. Till that day comes, we’ll try to tide you over with our humble version.

Better late than never! I know I’d promised to include the bonus papers with this, but I’m expecting to receive another short extra so I’ll bundle all those together for a mini release.

I’ll just take a moment here to lay out the schedule for this manga going forth.

But what about in-between, you ask? Well, we have a heavenly announcement coming up in that regard, and it will send you straight to paradise. Stay tuned!

Status Update: Ashita wa Docchi da! (And a minor rant)

Hi guys! Hope you're staying well and coping in this dumpster fire of a year. I'm aware we haven't had a proper release since July after releasing Chapter 30 with a promise for Volume 6 extras. I have no excuses as to why I've been unable to deliver on said promise. But here's an update:

*Rant begins*

The thing is, I recently found out that a Turkish group has been using my scans without permission for their releases. They even had the audacity to edit out the Simply Boys Love watermark from every single image. This, after I mentioned in my releases that people are free to retranslate as long as they use their own raws. Obviously, it put me in a very bad mood which consequently affects my motivation to work on this manga as well as general productiveness.

However, the releases will come. I personally have no intention to drop this manga now. But I'm not deluded enough to believe that I've absolute claim over it either. If there are those out there who just want to read whatever and do things on their own steam, you're welcome to it. I don't care, I'll be right here in my corner doing things my way: putting in the money, time and effort to deliver the best possible quality which this manga rightly deserves.

Yamamoto Kotetsuko-sensei’s comment:

Ashita wa Docchi da x Honto Yajuu crossover!

This strip is from Yamamoto Kotetsuko sensei’s Twitter. Sensei says Aki is actually quite tall. Ken and Ueda are about the same height, but Ueda’s physique is better than Ken’s.

I plan to translate more of these (when I have the time) but sometimes the writing can be a little hard to decipher so I may not end up doing all of them.

Here it is, the chapter you've all been waiting for! It's Ken's birthday but he's down with fever... Will he get to have his cake and eat it too, with a cherry on top?

As always, big thanks to Amaichudoku for the cleaning!

This is the last chapter of volume 6 but stick around for the extras!

Happy Friday! Let's kick off the weekend with some AwDd hijinks! Kirara's mom plays detective, Ken makes an unlikely new friend(?), Kirara has a keikaku (Note: Keikaku means plan) but does it work out?... and Tarou-san proves that not all heroes wear capes.

Next chapter is the climax pun intended! Stay tuned!
