3rd manga release – KSC Manga Vol.1 Chapters 21-30

… After our last message I finally am able to present you something to raise your appetite for KSC, 10 more manga chapters from the first volume, 8 more chapters (that’s how much those will be on the next release) and we will finish the volume (kind of sad that it almost takes that one year to be done, but ah well =P ). Also, new upcoming episodes *might* appear here so be happy, but not to much otherwise it might not happen X’D
Surprisingly this is how much I’m going to rant on this release’s description, so here are the links~ :

Special thanks to daitengu for the translations!

Don’t forget to


We’re not dead (… yet X.X)

Just to let you know, as we haven’t posted OR worked on anything much since last christmas (over 3 months *dies*).
At the moment our staff members are quite busy so no much activity from their side, but managed to gather a team for the KSC manga project which hopefully would stay intact and will have time to work on it. Unfortunately I can’t say the same thing about the anime project, it stalls with no translator on board. So by this post I also intend to ask everyone around here if they can’t donate, at least to introduce us to a translator, ask around, etc etc.
So, basically all you need to do is to give the translator a link to our site / my e-mail ( ) / IRC channel name.

Some time will pass until more manga chapters will be finished and the anime episodes are waiting to be translated, so all I can tell you now is to wait (and pray too X’D )

2nd manga release – KSC Manga Vol.1 Chapters 11-20

Even though we gave you some sad news in the previous post here on the site, we will still fansub/scanlate in spite of that incident the KSC series because we want to properly deliver Usui’s concepts and humour unlike how licensors and dubbers would. This release is also dedicated to our first donour, Brian Moore, who donated the generous sum of €60, we would like to thank him for his donation, and invite everyone else who is able to donate, even just €1 would do help us a lot ^_^. If you’re wondering what we will do with the money, it will be spent on this domain availability for the next 2 years and to buy S2 Vol.3 and 4 of the KSC DVD series, so we would have more RAWs for our releases. Now without having any other updates, I will present you our next release:

Contains:
KSC Manga Volume1, Chapters 11-12 (‘Mother and I are good friends… you know’ chapters 9-18)

P.P.S.: Our next episode 88 will be released in a few days too, so look forward to it! (the first episode to be translate by nyanpyou!)


Unfortunate update

Update: You may all find this an interesting read.

I’m so very sorry for this sad update, but since there are a lot of fans of the KSC series visiting around our site, I should post in this.

The author of the KSC manga, Yoshito Usui has been marked as a missing person by his family starting this Tuesday, after he went on a hiking trip to a nearby prefecture (namely Gunma) and didn’t came back home that afternoon, as promised. His family requested the police to find him and apparently, what they did find out that his last call made from his cell phone was last monday, 14 Sep.

The sad part is that Saturday, 19 Sep., they found a body at the bottom of a rocky ledge near the Arafune mountain (that specific cliff being named Tomoiwa), where he went to hike, the clothes matching the description left by Yoshito’s family in the search request.

The next day, Sunday, 20 Sep. some dental records and visual identification of the body by Yoshito’s family, and the result turned out that the body was Usui.

More detailed information here

This video is what our translator found and translated, we would like to thank her for taking time to translate the summary of it. The translation is as follows:

” Usui Yoshito went for a hike on Mount Arafune (400m) on September 11th, telling his family that he will be back by the afternoon.
As he did not return, the family called the police and a search party was sent out.
The publisher was shocked, as they were in contact a few days before, and everything seemed fine. They had received many manga chapters for the next few months.
Hikers at the mountain said that the trail was very easy, and it was hard to get lost in such an environment.
On the 19th, a body was found under a sharp drop, about 100m in height.
There was something strange with Usui’s cell phone signal.
On the 12th, it was detected in Karuizawa. On the 13th, it was detected in Gunma.
However the body was discovered on the 19th.
Mountain climbing was one of Usui’s hobbies, and people said it was not a difficult path.
It is not determined if the body belongs to him. ”

We, Kureyon Alliance would like to express our sincere condolences towards Yoshito’s family and friends, hoping that the could easily get over their loss. May he rest in peace

1st manga release – KSC Manga Vol.1 Chapters 1-10 + A LOT of updates

Warning: Contains excessive rants ^_~

Yes, a lot of things happened… (note: Roasario+Vampire Capu2 reference, hehe)

I finally decided to also take a scanlation project under our group (so now our group is a fan-slation one, haha! ^_^;), because there are no official DVDs of KSC season1 (episodes 1-83 in the japanese TV series) release, so because we won’t be able to release those missing episodes to soon (unless a uber-capper joins us), and that the anime basically follows the manga, why not translate the manga and reveal the laughing gems that KSC TV Season1 hides? Makes sense, right?

You probably saw that I’ve mentioned in our last update that our (now ex-)translator, Takari, will have more time to work on translating episodes this summer? Well guess what… he left me waiting for over 2 months to correct his mistakes on the translation of episode 86 and 87, and after those 2 months going down the drain with no progress, he decided to tell me that he no longer wants to help us. I mean like he could tell me earlier… His reason for leaving us was stupid too, but I won’t dwell on that since he isn’t worth of mentioning here anymore, nee? ^_^

So before he left us, I started to look over for a manga translator, asked for help on a few forums, and I immediately got a offer from a great translatoresse named nyanpyou ^_^
She also accepted to start translating the episodes, she also is much faster and more accurate than the jer– um, I mean the previous translator ^o^;
We thank you, nyanpyou for your support and for working hard on our group, and we wish that you will have fun while doing so. Everybody, give her a warm welcome now! :)

If she joined, that doesn’t mean that we aren’t looking for additional Japanese to English translators, so if you have moderate knowledge in both, please come and join us ^_^

We’ve also got our hands on some DVD iso’s from Season 2 (the season that we currently are fansubbing), Season 3 and 8, and that’s thanks to the contribution of Super Sonic and Sielle Speren, our two new RAW providers ^_^.
Expect some version2 releases of our previous episodes, and also a higher quality episode 87, those are under current QC and TLC operation done by makumiiran3. If you want to speed up things, and know english well, why not join him in the QC team? ^_^
(Check the ‘Come to the dark side’ section of our site for contact methods)
We would also wouldn’t mind to receive any donation (only from those who can, we can understand that not everybody can afford to spend a few extra euro).

Okay, okay, now enough with the updates, here is the release itself:
