Come! Linebarrel!

Welcome to the SMG Scanlation release blog!  It will contain all of our releases (searchable and will also be identified with the “release” tag) as well as many other assets related to the work of scanlating.  Our current release schedule is once a week whenever, so check back every once in a while to get a peek at what we’re doing!

Ghost in the Shell ARISE Chapter 2!

From the May issue!

http://bitshare.com/?f=9bgkj29c

So uh, w.r.t. Linebarrel, what I’ve usually done is do releases from the tankoubon/volumes as opposed to the monthly serial like I’m doing with GitS.  The only difference is that the text and advertisements in the white spaces between panels are absent, as well as the back pages containing the mecha information.  I can’t actually find raws for volume 21, which came out back in January, though I do have scans of the serial up to April’s issue, chapter 98, though not for May or June.  The scan quality for the Linebarrels raws are a lot better compared to the ones for GitS, so I might just do from the chapters.

P.S. I know more stuff is available for Linebarrels, they will be translated Soon™.

Edit: So uh, I just realised that some characters (Storch) have their name spelled differently between chapters.  This is mostly due to the chapters having been translated with 1 or 2 month gaps in between… In the script I somehow managed to spell Alicia two different ways, but the typesetter took notice. I’ll… maybe release a v2.

Volumes 17 and 18!

We’re done!

Volume 17v2

Volume 18

We will release the next 3 chapters by the chapter as the tankobon for volume 19 currently has no raw scans. I might just purchase it and scan it myself but we’ll see. Until then enjoy reading Linebarrel!

Edit: Reuploaded with the missing page!

Missing page for those who have already downloaded the full chapter

Volume 16 (Chapters 65 to 69)

We work during our hiatus, serious talk.

But really, I might get to re-uploading all the chapters by volume, with all the other goodies in between (the cover, in-between art, plot info page with the sweet lineart in the back. In terms of raws, I have up to volume 18 (75 to 79), with 3 chapters (80, 81 and 82) scanned from the monthly Champion RED issues, though they are of lower quality (but higher resolution!). Though volume 19 came out January 20th, I haven’t been able to scans for it, we’ll cross that bridge when we get there. For translation progress, I have up to chapter 78 of volume 18 translated, the typesetters are currently doing 70-73, the editor has 74 (the scripts for 75 to 78 are trapped inside by tablet as I’m too lazy to upload them to the computer.)
