A chapter status would be great! Then others won’t question if a scanlation is progressing or not. :)

Hello everybody, I’m Aoytaku, a member of Best Friends Forever and my group wants to translate Momo by Mayu Sakai into Vietnamese so we want you to allow us to use your translation. Can you agree?
Nevi said,
December 19, 2011 at 4:17 pm
Yeah, have fun translating it. ^^
Aoytaku said,
December 20, 2011 at 9:21 pm
Thanks!! ^^
Oh, I have some troubles with finding raw of Momo T-T, so can you tell me where to find raws of it? T-T, my sister translated Momo on your scanlations, but now our new editor told me we had to seek the Raw but we have just found the slow quality raw T-T,
Nevi said,
December 20, 2011 at 9:29 pm
Uhm, either try finding someone who has the magazines and can scan the chapters in high quality or get the books. ^^ The books are the best option.
Aoytaku said,
December 21, 2011 at 7:40 pm
Hic, But we are in Vietnam, we can’t find anyone… T-T. Alright! We will use your scanlations ^^

Hello again~ I’ve been meaning to ask SH this for a while, but are there going to be any future projects planned for the future? I know you guys are working at your heart’s fullest content and with about half of SH’s current projects still ongoing in Japan, the time length of SH’s existence will still probably last for a longer time. Even so, after you guys have finished all your projects (which I know will probably take about another few years or so), are you guys planning on not scanlating any more manga after that? I have my utmost faith in SH out of all scanlation groups and even though that thought of you guys leaving is still far away, is there a possibility that SH will be ending after all projects are complete? :(
Sorry if I sound really discouraging or negative, but it’s just a thought I’ve been having for a while now (ノ゜ω゜)ノ ~ ♥
Nevi said,
December 28, 2011 at 7:21 am
I don’t know to be honest. xD I was actually planning to retire from scanlation this year already but realized that I just have to edit. lol
So, I guess if Haruta’s next project after Stardust Wink gets me, we’ll keep existing and might as well finish off some dropped projects, who knows. So yeah, you don’t have to worry about SH ending any time soon. =)
Lala :3 said,
December 29, 2011 at 7:25 am
I see :) For a second there, I thought my heart was going to break down x__x I’m really, really glad and deeply thankful that you guys have planned not to give up on scanlation this year >..< ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Lala :3 said,
December 29, 2011 at 7:27 am
(sorry my reply got shortened up BIG-time)
Aww, I see :’) I do hope Haruta-sama does a really good job on her next one. I also hope SH hangs in there at least until Stardust Wink is over? :$ I hope I don’t sound too selfish or rude; I just really love the work SH produces and to be honest I can’t really let myself witness my favourite project Stardust Wink to go off incomplete especially since most of its story hasn’t even ended off yet in Japan. (╥_╥)
Yet again, I am truly sorry if I sound quite troublesome and selfish :$ I just love SH, in such a way that I’ll truly feel sad if you guys retire, but I do hope I don’t sound too … I don’t know what the word that’s often associated with the way I’m talking right now, but I hope I don’t sound that way xD Thanks for always replying :) I hope SH last for a longer amount of time than just a few years, if SH can even last that long >.< ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Nevi said,
December 29, 2011 at 8:35 pm
Aww, evil WordPress for shortening your replies. xD
Yeah, I definitely want to finish Stardust Wink! It’s my favourite manga, from the editing point of view it’s the exact challenge that keeps me going. I’m pretty sure Haruta’s next project will be even more exciting, I’m glad she’s not afraid of experimenting with the stories and breaking the usual shoujo expectations. ^^
Oh and don’t worry, you’re not troublesome at all. I rather chat with hundreds more of your kind than hearing “when’s next ch coming out” all the time lol. Supporters like you are amazing! Thanks for that. =)
Lala :3 said,
December 29, 2011 at 8:54 pm
IKR?! :’) But still, I love WordPress for these pretty-looking blogs, and whatever else these sites/pages are called, they make xD
Yesh, I totally agree with you! :) I love the way Haruta-sama makes the story plots and the way she twists them around is not only relative to our real lives, but is also makes a heart-throbbing affect towards our thoughts (and hearts, might I say)… well for me, that is xD ♥ I totally have so much faith in mangaka like Haruta-sama because she’s truly the reason why I read manga (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧
Lol, yeah I hate hearing people ask that question (-’_’-) It just kills me every time whenever I see people constantly and repeatly acting impatient and quite rude to our fellow hard-workers (╯_╰) And even worse, it’s always happening everywhere -.-

(Part 2 xD I was prepared for another evil attack from WordPress >:3)
Awww, that’s so sweet of you to say *ﾟ･｡ヽ(*´∀`)ﾉ.*ﾟ･｡.･.ﾟ･.* I’m glad people like you are always so willing to talk to people like me (a.k.a. your fans) because most of the time, scanlators don’t often have the time to chat with people like me, so it usually gives back a negative effect towards sensitive commenters like myself x’D /shot ♥
I’m glad to be of help to you guys especially because SH has been my second (my first was Nagareboshi Manga, but they already stopped their scanlating years (╥◡╥) ♥) favourite scanlation group of all time >w< I met you guys soon after I met NM so it was a real fan-girl breakout for me when I saw how amazing you guys were xD /dies with moe-moe ♥
Thanks for your hard work SH! You guys are practically the only scanlation (that I know of) that lasted for so long ever since…. I think 2008? 2009? I think not? xD ♥ Thanks again!
Nevi said,
December 31, 2011 at 9:41 am
Ah yes, we’ve been around for quite a while. xD 8 years actually, seems really long lol. It doesn’t feel that long for me since I joined the group only 3 years ago and managing the releases for 1 year now. xD It’s been a crazy year haha.
I totally know what you mean with the negative effect, but the thing really is that those asking the bothersome questions and poking about releases all the time kill one’s mood completely. >.< So sometimes I'm really avoiding the site for days because I don't want to yell or be rude with those who are actually thankful for the releases. ^^ I wish there was a turn off button for those who annoy me. xD
Feel free to drop as many lines as you want, it's always fun to read your comments! =)

why did u guys drop akuma to love song. it is amazing and i wanna read the next chapter. not to mention u guys did an amazing job, so that makes me want u to continue even more
Nevi said,
January 8, 2012 at 10:36 am
This is kinda a general reply (because this gets asked quite often xD).
Why we drop projects? It’s either been licensed, not enough staff, motivation or time. Most projects are being continued by other groups anyway. ^^
Love it when you guys suggest new projects, but please check first if someone else is already working on it. :)
Lala :3 said,
January 9, 2012 at 3:35 am
Yeah, I was about to say the same too! >.<
I mean, Intercross works their butt off with their scanlations and the fact that someone just had to suggest their hard work to be sent off to another hard-working group seems a little…insulting and mean T_T Well, not that I'm trying to start off any issues here, but just remember well that if you know well to think before you speak, you should also think before you type as well @ms. currently reading renai kyoushuujo said.
So yeah, that's why Google and other search engines exist for: they're there for SEARCHING about information.
http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=42561
:P
Sorry, I just got ticked of there for a bit. I love Intercross and the hard work they produce, but to hear someone else say that just made me REALLY mad. On behalf of Intercross's staff, I clearly just raged out my temper for them (and of course, out of my love for Intercross + Starry Heaven :3 ). ♥
Nevi said,
January 9, 2012 at 8:24 am
Haha, don’t worry lol, I usually get ticked off way more than you do, at least I believe so, and I’m trying to hide it as good as I can. xD
Gotta respect scanlation groups, there’s always lots of work involved with any project, so ignoring that part and telling someone else to take over their project is really just rude. Same as all those speed or wannabe scanlators lol, either do something right or let it be. If we’re doing this already then at least present the mangaka’s work in a way they deserve it. ^^
Lala :3 said,
January 9, 2012 at 10:06 pm
Lol, awww :( Now at least I know how it feels for scanlators/staff, like yourself, to put up with ridiculous and unnecessary nonsense. *cries*
Yes, much respect is indeed needed. >.< I mean, it's not like Intercross and Shoujo Crusade do a bad job either. Their scanlations are pretty darn smexy, with all its good and fired-up high quality. Plus, their translations are pretty accurate (if I'm not mistaken), and since they're in need of staff (so I heard), they most definitely need credit, just as much as any scanlation group does. xD Of course, it's quite nice to hear groups like SH to receive good comments and credit with their scanlations, but at the same time, it's just so dayum annoying to hear another group's projects to get casted away from the credit they do deserve, just as much as SH does too. I mean, SH would feel upset if that were to happen to them too, no? ♥ :)
Lala :3 said,
January 9, 2012 at 10:06 pm
Well, that was such a nice rampage I went on about, yet again. xD Unfortunately, I care for groups like SH who work so hard, so I just couldn’t stop myself from this ranting. xD So to all those commenters who are planning on commenting here or anywhere, be SURE to seriously be respectful and considerate about others because after all, this place is public so anything can certainly offend anyone. Well, at least for me, that is, and mostly for others, too (if I’m not mistaken). xD
Anyhow, Nevi-saan, I hope your day is going mighty-fine, and hopefully life’s been treating you well, which of course should be treating all of SH well too! xD ♥
Nevi said,
January 11, 2012 at 10:29 am
Yep, of course one feels upset when projects get taken by other people (it has happened often enough anyway lol). Honestly, that doesn’t bother me that much, but if I see the project translated, edited etc. badly and quickly, that’s what actually ticks me off! Stick to some quality if you’re already starting in the middle of something. T_T
Gotta love rants haha, it’s unhealthy to keep them bottled up anyway. xD My life’s so-so at the moment actually (family member in hospital, that probably says enough, right), but hope you’re doing better than that! ^^ Love supporters like you, they’re just the best. =)
Lala :3 said,
January 12, 2012 at 1:12 am
IKR?! :O I literally scream my bum off whenever I see groups doing that >.< It's as if they just don't care how bad the end results will be. All they're after is either popularity or dignity (hopefully that was the right word to use <.<). Ahaha, yessh, my rants could go on for an entire day, but the funny thing is that on the next day it completely goes away and just lies right on the back of my head. xD Otherwise, if I never ranted, for the next few days after calming down, the same thought will just bug my mind for the rest of the week and drive me crazy… LOL :)
Awwwww :( I kind of know how you feel 'cause my uncle once went to the hospital because he had a seizure type of thing and it was really scary because he was in his 80s, but after a couple of weeks it turned out fine. I hope your family relative gets well soon! D: May God bless him and your family! ♥ :) *glomps*

[Part 2, and yet again, I was prepared for WordPress's evil tactics xD]
Meh, my life is quite…flustering. xD It’s a combination of complication, frustration, disorganization, and a whole lotta stress issues. xD I guess you could say that I’m starting to feel the weight of what a high-schooler’s life is right now xD Exams, exams, exams…it’s what I always hear from high-schoolers, but never knew how it felt…and now I do xD
Nevi said,
January 12, 2012 at 7:14 am
Aww, thanks! I do hope he’ll get better, but he’s in his 80s (such a coincidence xD) and had a stroke. No one really knows if he’ll get back to his old self. Just gotta hope for the best I guess. @@
Ahhh, a high schooler’s life, how much I’m not missing it haha. Though gotta say university topped it for me later xD, but don’t want to scare you lol. Make sure you’re organized well, that pretty much solves most of the stress you’re going through. =)
