Shinrei Tantei Yakumo File 03.04

Edit: A lot of you have mentioned links not working, but it was night for me so I’d been sleeping – I just checked the links and they were working for me, and one of you also said the links are working again, but just in case, I’m going to post the URLs below the click-and-download links.

It’s Mujintou Scan’s first-year anniversary, and we have a special release and an announcement today in addition to the usual chapter:

First, we apologize for the delay. If you’d been following the little status column on the right, you’d have known that our cleaner had been swamped with work. We’ve acquired new cleaners to help, so hopefully future releases won’t be delayed again. To return to our previous release schedule, however, our next release will be at the end of December. It’s too much of a challenge to release another chapter at the end of this month; we hope you understand.

But to make up for that, we have a special release today, as apology and as celebration for our group’s 1-year anniversary. Our raw provider has kindly ripped the DVD specials that came with Asuka.

We’re not a fansub group, I’m also a C->E translator not a J->E translator, and we’re swamped with other work, so I’m afraid we won’t be subbing these videos. If there is a group out there willing to sub it, by all means go for it. We just require that you credit the raw to GlitteringLoke. And let us know if you ever do sub it! We’d like to link to your website etc.

Next, we want to announce that we will soon have our own online reader, provided by our newly hired cleaner, actually. You can take a look at the sneak preview on the new page; maybe some of you have seen it already. We’ll announce it again when it’s ready to go.

Enjoy, and we look forward to bringing you more Yakumo for the coming years!

Re: MangaFox

It has come to our attention that MangaFox is no longer honoring certain requests by scanlators and they are reaping large profits from their site and their sister site, mangahere.com, which watermarks other groups’ scans as their own; see here and here for more information. We just wanted to inform our readers that our group is not responsible for uploading any of our scans to online readers sites like MangaFox. We can’t “stop” anyone from uploading our scans, and we do appreciate that our credits page have not been removed, but we would prefer if our readers obtained the scans directly from us. I personally understand the advantages of online readers over direct downloads, but unfortunately we don’t have the capability to host our own online reader. (If you know how and would like to contribute, we can certainly discuss that possibility, but this is not a promise or anything.)

On behalf of the entire Mujintou staff, I thank our readers for supporting our group and the series. Please spread the word regarding MangaFox.

Still recruiting… See this post.

Recruitment Post

We’re looking for a cleanup artist. You need to know how to level, crop, and clone. The ability to stitch 2-page (color) spreads together is a giant bonus but not a necessity. You would also be communicating with the rest of the staff on LiveJournal. The average amount of time you have for cleaning a 30-paged chapter is about one week, maybe two. If you’re interested, please take our editor test and send your samples to mujintou.scans at gmail dot com. Further instructions are in the .zip file. We look forward to hearing from you!

This is the end of the second case. (Damn, compared to Detective Conan, these cases are long.)

More importantly! Our cleaner used a new style for this chapter, and she wants to know if you – that’s right, you – prefer the new or the old style. In other words, compare the previous chapter and this chapter and tell us which scans you like more. It’s a tie among our staff members, so we’d like your input.
