Release #5

Its time for another release! Today I'm bringing you chapters 65, 66 and 67! My, what lucky people you all are. With this release, I'm just 2 chapters away from completing my goal of closing the gaps in SA releases. Which means, SA Scans will soon be closing its doors, I'll be out of raws and I'll have much less free time soon, so it's all for the best. Any how, now for the releases:

SA v12 c65 (mediafire) | Mirror 1 (savefile)

SA v12 c66 (mediafire) | Mirror 1 (savefile)

SA v12 c67 (mediafire) | Mirror 1 (savefile)

Files uploaded to Mangatraders and Mangafox already.

Once I complete and release chapters 68 and 69 (and release a few back chapters that are almost done but got put aside) we'll no longer be releasing Special A. As I said above, I'll be out of raws and I'll have completed my goal.

Now my question to readers: I am considering starting a new project once I finish up with Special A, my question is, what series would you like to see worked on? I wasn't coming up with some ideas so I'm hoping something someone suggests sparks an interest. I have a fairly broad interest in manga, so don't worry and just make the suggestion.

If I find a project that interests me and am able to acquire raws for it, I'll most likely pick it up. So please suggest some good projects that you know have stalled, been dropped or are just plain neglected and I'll give them a look! Until then, look forward to chapters 68 and 69 in a few days.

Thanks for the Special A scans! How is Katatsumuri Zensen? According to Baka-Updates, the last chapter was updated 418 days ago. The first two chapters are pretty cute.

thanks for the releases!!!!! im really glad for your efforts. as for the suggestion you're asking, there's actually this oneshot manga that looked promising to me. i don't know the story of but it had a good artwork. heh. i can give you the scans if you want to read it first and see if it catches your interest. the title of the manga is: "kataware no koi yuki yo".

if you're interested, please do email me: marie_barkqzn19@yahoo.com

thx again for 3 wonderful special a chapters, you made my day =)
and regarding suggestions.. well..

i always wondered why there is no group out there doing my absolute fav manga: KAZE HIKARU
is it because there are no raws or am i the only one seeing how great it is. cause i really hate waiting for the viz comics to come out, i'll be an old lady when they finally catch up... o.O
so plz think about it!

other suggestions are:
-gakuen alice (the missing chapters at least)
-uwasa no midori-kun
-mushishi
-superior(recently has been dropped)

Thank you for filling the gaps in SA!! Really appreciate it.

I was also wondering if you could fill in the gaps for gakuen alice too? I've been waiting to read the manga for more than a year =( Please consider it! =)

Thanks for the releases.

I agree the Gakuen Alice gaps are huge and I would greatly appreciate it if they got filled.

I am also a big fan of Mei-chan no Shitsuji which hasn't had a release in 200 days.

7 seeds, new pet shop of horrors, toraware no minoue, venus cappricio, and sunadokei are all sadly being neglected right now...

Thanks for the scans!

I've been dying to read Aria and Mushishi...the nice thing about Aria is that it's a completed series so you can take your time with it. And the raws are really easy to get. And it has gorgeous art. :D

i love you for releasing so many new SA chapters, thank you!! i don't know how many people like the suggestions i'm going to make, but i loved these manga and they just seemed to be dropped for some reason. my suggestions are: Gokuraku Seishun Hockey Club (my heavenly hockey club) & Zombie-Loan

Thank you Thank you Thank you for the great Special A scans. I would also like to suggest Platinum Garden. I really really really want to know what happens after volume 7. Once again ARIGATOU for all your hard work!!!

I have to thank you once again for all your hard work.... As for another project, well, Nicoichi grabbed my attention a while back, but it looks like after the couple chapters that was done by Jun-Chan about 3 months ago there has been nothing since.... Also Superior is no longer being done over at Janimes so as of this point I don't think anyone is picking it up and the next tankoban releases soon....

Thanks for working on Special A!

I know you're looking for new projects, but would you consider scanlating chapter 52 and 53 again? While Omniharu and Vanilla Tenshi's work is very much appreciated, the chapters weren't entirely translated.

Anonymous said...

Thanks for the release! Greatly appreciated.

As for ideas for a new project, I would propose Ga-Rei. The anime is being shown currently, but it is a prequel of the manga. The manga has been dropped by the one only subbing group, and I know many people are dying to know what happens in the manga.

Anyways, thanks again.

Thank you so much for your hard work on SA! It makes me so happy to be able to read the skipped chapters. <333 But, in the future you won't be doing more skipped chapters?

Anonymous said...

Thanks so much for SA! Some projects that I would like to see:
Max Lovely!-Kurahashi Erika
Billion Princess-Yu Jia Yan
Goong-Park So Hee (I think it's Korean though...)

Anonymous said...

THANKS for the scanlations and all the hard work!
Suggestions:
1.Faster than a Kiss
2.Gakuen Ouji
3.Honey Hunt
(The first two on my list are actually joint projects between serenus dreamers/esthetique and serenus dreamers/intercross however the last release date for faster than a kiss was 110 days ago and 247 days for Gakuen ouji).
Honey Hunt has been dropped by aerandria/enchantment scans b/c of licensing but the first licensed volume wont be out till april 2009!.

However, I secretly hope you'll continue scanlating special a in the future.
Anyways, THANKS again.

Thanks for all the SA, I always disliked how there was so many gaps. As for a manga series... personally I don't know anymore. In the past I would have said 'Dear' which is by the same author who made 'Watashi no Okaami sama' or something like that... but recently that group has started updating after a huge delay. Maybe that 'Lapiz Lazuli' manga. It's nice and it hasn't been updated in a while. These are off course only suggestions.

Thanks for the wonderful SA releases but I hope you could continue scanlating it too~ T__T
About other projects, please consider:
1. Gakuen Alice (gaps & latest chapters)
2. Cherry Juice
3. Rockin' Heaven
4. My Barbaric Girlfriend
5. Rhapsody in Heaven

Thank so much for releasing Special A!!!

As for suggestions, Kaichou wa Maid sama? Or Gakuen Alice?

Thanks again =D

Thanks for the releases!!
How about Faster than a Kiss?
It is real good manga.
Thanks for the releases!

Kitsune no Yomeiri. It'd be nice to see it be scantalated once more because well, s^3 seems to be dead and Binktopia dropped most of their monthlys. I believe there be an issue of finding raws, but vol1 is out now so it should be easier to get some scans.

Thanks for the chapters Mr SpecialAScans!! ^_^ They're really good, and now that you're almost done...WHO'S GONNA DO THE REST?! T_T
If you're interested, I've noticed that Alive: The Final Evolution seems pretty neglected; it's really good though! I'm pretty sure there's a huge gap between the number of volumes and the number of scans...But, yeah! Thanks again for the scans; the world needs more people like you ^_^

Rukia Fujioka said...

Thanks for the chapters! They always make my day ^.^

Hmm... a new project. How about Venus Capriccio by Nashikata Mai? It's an amazing series that was dropped by Manga Abyss a few months ago because lack of staff. It's one of my personal favorites! ^.^
Another series that I love is Superior by Ichtys [Ikushisu]It's really good!

Anonymous said...

thank u so much for the release!

in your question, i was thinking of gakuen alice...it's a good story~

or maybe hanashite nante agenai yo?
i thinks its a pretty interesting story...=)

Hayumi Aya said...

thanks for the release ^^
good job XD well done XD

Nisa said...

Thanks so much for special A scans! There is this kinda similar manga called Venus Capriccio...was dropped by manga abyss some time ago buh its so cute I jus wish someone would be great enough to take over it.

Anonymous said...

Yey^^. As for new manga series, NG Life~~~~~~~~! I can read Japanese, but I never caught the first few chapters of the series. Only chapters 3 and 4 are on Mangafox (it may say chapters 1 and 2, but there were 2 other chapters before those.)

Sumeiia said...

Thank for your hard work! I do so like your quality scans :D And the speed at which yah turn em out! Kudos to you!

I already mailed you but I think I should post a comment here as well in case someone wants to bump the request. I would like to nominate Blackbird and HoneyxHoney Drops(MitsuxMitsu Drops). Oh and Kyo koi wa Hajimemasu. The raws are available on Shoujo's World (http://mewteam2.altervista.org/home.htm) Kyo koi is being scalated by a group (or individual. I'm not sure) but the quality of the scans is just not good.

Bumping requests for Goong and Gakuen Ouji, Rhapsody in Heaven.

thanks for the SA releases!

Your scans were very good. Seeing as I would like more scans of the same quality, why not do Hayate the Combat Butler? That's a fairly popular series.
You also could do Ai Kora (Love & Collage), because the series ended in earlier 2008, so there should be plenty of raws.

Anonymous said...

hi, thank you so much for all your hard work on special a!!!

since you wanted some suggestions for a new project, i highly recommend PERFECT GIRL EVOLUTION (aka, THE WALLFLOWER). personally, i think it's an amazingly hilarious manga, but the group scanning it hasnt released any new chapters since july, probably. which sucks, since there are only 4 more volumes before its over.
anyway, if you could pick up from where perfect girl evolution got left off, that's make be extremely happy^^
thanks again!!

hmm, well these are all good and pretty neglected:
1. faster than a kiss
2. full house kiss
3. wild ones (arakure)
4. kaichou wa maid-sama
5. hoshi wa utau <--it's being COMPLETELY neglected

also, tomo matsumoto and fujiwara kiyo usually both write pretty light-hearted, funny manga.

Thank you so much for all the SA chapters! ^__^
Well its been mentioned here before but Gakuen Alice has huge gaps between chapters its just silly. xD

Also Shugo Chara is being terribly neglected and I know there are TONS of people who are looking for scanlations.

Hatenkou Yuugi/Dazzle was dropped after one volume even though its rlly rlly good x __X

Anonymous said...

Thank you for the Special A releases you have done.

As for some suggestion of other projects:
1. Give Me Love
2. Gakuen Ouji
3. Sonna Koe Dashicha Iya (Kiss of Voice)
4. Lovey Dovey
5. Cosplay Animal
6. Honey & Honey Drops
7. Full House Kiss (it seems that Aerandria is in need of an English translator)

Riley said...

Hey, thank you so much for doing Special A.
If you're looking for projects to continue, I agree that Honey Hunt was looking really good, and if it has been dropped I think it would be a good one to pick up. Although, a lot of the series being mentioned are already being done, so i don't know what thats about. I guess they want it faster? Well if you'd be willing to work on a few projects that are missing chapter where the first few chapters were done and then it skipped farther ahead, Bokura ga Ita and Gakuen Alice would be good ones to do. Hope this helps!

Anonymous said...

thanks so much i was really glad u pick up the missing chapters u r a hero me !!

if u r interested there is a manga that was licensed but still i want to read more of it since where iam from they dun sell manga lol

its called "Papillon - Hana to Chou"

As Anonymous 31 said, ARIA is a better readout, the raws are accessible and it will be a good challenge for proper scantalation.

if interested please leave a message:

guardian_yuuki@hotmail.com

- also sent an email as well.

Thank you for the Special A releases!

There is one volume pending for Captive heart - Hino matsuri(last chap released some 300 days ago)

PLATINUM GARDEN!!!!!!! Please do this....the scanlators stopped at ep 28 and sont bother releasing the others (just like what happened to S.A. and Tokyopop is neglecting the series...it's been 6-7 month since their last release and there is no news on the latest one. i really want to see the rest of it.

Saint X said...

Update on the Aria Request:

Amano-Sensei has just released, as of today her newest work "Amanchu". I hope you also include this as a project...
