I've returned from the hiatus!

Tough month again, exams went okay, and I just recovered from a nasty cold last week! I hope I haven't kept you waiting for too long! Forgive me?

Just thought I should let you all know I'll be scanlating another chapter of Aphorism latest by this weekend. Please look forward to it!

2-Week-Hiatus Notice!!

This month is pretty hectic...few more projects left to go, a charity fair's coming up...but most importantly, exams are dangerously close...

So I don't think I'll be able to scanlate until next month. Sorry, everyone!! orz

Sincerest Apologies,
Fandom Business

Chapter 12.5 has been scanlated~

(lol, I have no life, since I could complete scanlating this in 2 days -orz-)

Well, I'll put up the download link first...! Because I'm too much a pansy to upload it on Mangafox at the moment...since something will probably screw the order up again...(or in the worst case, it will upside down  ಠ.ಠ;)

If you can/want to, feel free to upload the chapter onto a manga site!

EDIT: The chapter has been uploaded onto Mangafox!

Regarding the screw-ups of Chapter 11 & 12 of Aphorism

I'm deeply sorry for screwed-up order my Aphorism manga chapters (11 and 12) were uploaded in, on Mangafox. I understand some of you may be very frustrated...so here's the download links for the chapters to ensure a less-enraging reading experience.

I may not be uploading to Mangafox again, since the first two times I submitted chapters, they went horribly wrong. It was a bit embarassing to see the screwed-up-order manga chapters I myself submitted...and the threads that followed, involving the screwed-up order. I certainly don't want to repeat the experience.

Maybe I'll just upload the translated chapters on Mediafire, and perhaps a kind soul would upload the files on Mangafox for me...  

I assure you, these files are in perfect order sequence. There are no mixed up pages, nor are they backwards. Most certainly they are not upside-down either. 

Note: The following are .rar files. You need Winrar to extract them.

Aphorism-related posts

All Aphorism-related posts on TSH have been moved here.

Welcome! -introductions-

It's been decided that this blog, 'Fandom Business!' will be my professional blog (aka strictly for anime/manga/etc only) , while 'TSH' will be my personal blog.

ONE REASON:

Mainly this blog was started because of the massive hits I gained from just writing Aphorism chapter summaries, so I thought 'hey, why not start a separate blog just for otakus/anime & manga fans?'

MAIN REASON!!:

...Ok, I admit I was getting really a bit disturbed being so popular of all a sudden, since TSH is supposed to be a casual, personal blog, lol. So I made a separate blog for all otakus/anime & manga fans to enjoy!

The reason I didn't make TSH my professional blog is because I consider it my most favoured outlet for venting my personal life, and with it suddenly being so popular, it didn't feel like the funky, romanticist chick blog it used to be before (aka not personal anymore ._.)

...Also, I couldn't bear to import all my personal posts (a year's worth) to another blog...I suddenly consider my computer an 'escape from reality' now...since this year's been extremely rough...so I don't really want to give up my beloved TSH blog...I'm sorry...

CONCLUSION:

This is a site where I hope all anime/manga lovers can have fun reading my posts! I'll try my best to write quality posts as well!

Please look forward to them! -bows-

Aphorism - I might translate this series

Holy chickenballs. I can't believe I had enough concentration to actually read through Chapter 24 to Chapter 28 of Aphorism...the Chinese version of those chapters...and understand them all!!! Right now I'm reading Chapter 29. (Sadly there are only 30 chapters out right now, so only 1 left to go for now)

Oh, in Chapter 28, there was such a BRILLIANT plot twist. I could've never known that HE was actually...!! Man, I'mma love this manga FOREVER.

And also, I've had thoughts about possibly translating the chapters (so maybe I can be freed from writing any more summaries ._.)...below is my translation of a page from Chapter 13.

It was easy enough to replace the original text with english text...and since the scans are from 99mh, I don't need to clean them, since they're shiny clean already.

There's someone on Mangafox that also wants to upload new chapters of Aphorism, but they want to directly scan Chuang Yi's version of the Aphorism tankobon...so they'll have to rip out all the pages, and do alot of cleaning (since a direct scan will make the pages appear gray). There's no gurantee that they'll make smooth rips of the pages either...

Maybe I'll consider this a contest...I'll try my best to translate every chapter as fast as possible, and if the person on mangafox uploads faster than I do, I'll go back to doing summaries. Maybe. Now I have to do all this compressing stuff... 

EDIT:

I've submitted Chapter 11 to Mangafox...all's left for it to be moderated...(hopefully it can be uploaded)

I forgot to write in to tell the moderator that in the .rar file, the pages are actually numbered in descending order (like pg 38 is at the top and pge 1 is at the bottom) It's obviously in the wrong order, so I spent about 30 minutes to reverse it. (By having the page 1 named as page 38, and page 38 as page 1) Painful times. I hope the moderator will catch on and know that...

I can't believe I spent the whole day translating this...I thought it was so easy...but now I understand a translator's pain...(I did not procrastinate either, and it still took me about 7 hours)

This is my blood, sweat and tears...headaches too. Since it took me so long to translate ONE chapter, I could maybe just stick to summaries...(I'm still schooling, after all)
