New Beginnings

As we begin releases of a new volume, someone else in our group is beginning a new year as well. So everyone, please greet the heart of our little scanlation group, our hard-working translator

NAGI

A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Without her this project wouldn't have been possible and we would still be moping around looking for our Gokusen fixes. Life without Shin?! Horrible thought!

To emphasize that idea, we have for you a special treat: the release of the first TWO chapters of Volume 11!!! And what wonderful chapters these are. I just about died at one page in chapter 2. This is the first I saw Yankumi like that... but I shall now shut up and let you read it. :D

Thank you to Panners who gave us her translations for these two chapters. And thank you of course to Nagi who worked hard on these releases even if she should have been out partying with friends.

*Showers confetti, cookies, cakes, frappucinos and pizzas all around* LET'S PARTY!!!

Shin Goes to the Dogs

This is such a funny chapter. I shall leave my comments at that eventhough I want to go on and on about a certain imaginary sequence. :D

Enjoy!!!

Gokuken Release

We are taking a break from scanlating Gokusen to bring you... GOKUKEN!!!

JUST KIDDING!

This is actually Extra 1 at the end of Volume 10 and the extra chapters are really read as GOKUKEN, or yakuza dog. You'll soon find out why once you click on the links below:

Translation credits for this release goes mostly to our contributing translator Halima-san so everyone thank her for a job well done!

Just a brief note on the poll. Shin wins hands down but I am happy to see that Shinohara garnered a respectable amount of votes at the end. Thank you every one for participating! It was also really great to read up on your reasons for the votes you cast. But can anyone answer this : where did the missing 1% go? :D

Enjoy!

P.S. Extra Two will be released in a couple of days. April hasn't been a good month for most of us but hopefully May will be better. I see also that a lot of people are busy with studies and work so I hope it also goes better for you in May!

The Facade Falls...

A lot of you commented about the new hottie in Gokusen Land... well, we'll all find out a little more about him in this new release. So go ahead and clickity-click on the links!

The poll is about to end. It's pretty much a one-sided battle but I'm very glad to see that Shinohara has some supporters. Dementedchris will also be eternally grateful for those who voted for the sensei. I'm curious though: Why did you vote for the sensei? You just might convert a few others to your camp. (Or in my case, it might lessen the gap in my 40-60 affection division between the two love interests. hehehe)

Also, the answer to DJ Mixerr's question about scanlating Volume 15 is a resounding YES! But we are now doing the releases in a chronological manner. Of course we want to work on Volume 15 immediately but we are trying to use what little EQ we have and postpone gratification by building up to that volume. So no worries. We'll all get there in as sanely a fast manner as possible.

Again, translation credits for this chapter goes to micchan. Kaoko has really been going all out since last week with that extra chapter edit, this week's release and the new layout we are all enjoying. So send lots of love her way again. (Current acceptable currency seems to be cookies. But it might have changed this week)

Enjoy!

Infiltrating Aotama

Everyone, thank kaoko for her overnighter effort in editing this so we could all enjoy an early release. Thank also micchan for once again translating this chapter for us.

About the chapter, we now see how Yankumi goes about infiltrating Aotama. Watch out for the conversation between Yankumi and her sempai regarding her reason for visiting, I especially enjoyed that. :D

Also, most of you've probably noticed that we have a poll going. Feel free to vote for your fave. I haven't cast a vote yet as I thought it was strictly for you guys, but since dementedchris went ahead and voted for Shinohara, am going to cast a vote too. I wonder if I can cast multiple votes? hehehe.
