And an ad from the new Dengeki Daioh.
Once again Azuma Kiyohiko is listed for the next issue.

if this doesnt end in solar plexus...

translation, somebody?

>>225188
Awesome. Totally accounts for the 9 month absence.
This still hasn't shown up on Share, so thanks for the scans.

>>225193

>if this doesnt end in solar plexus...

It'll prove that Barasui still has some creativity and hasn't completely resorted to ripping off other artists?

>>225194
Patience. It's only been a day.
I actually had these translated yesterday, but the board hasn't been allowing me to post until just now.

>>225192

>Once again Azuma Kiyohiko is listed for the next issue.

Was he listed in the past 3 issues as well? Or was the last time he was listed back in April?

>>225200
The current Daioh is dated Sept 2013. Azuma Kiyohiko was listed on the next issue preview page for the June, July and August volumes too. Barasui was listed in the June & July ones and shows up in this months.

To be clearer, Yotsubato Chapter 83 was in the Dengeki Daioh dated June 2013( came out in April), and has been listed on the next issue preview pages ever since.

>>225202
Wait, would that be the preview pages like this one?
http://daioh.dengeki.com/wp-content/themes/daioh/nextissue/yokoku1309.pdf

Because I had originally thought that was a listing of which authors work would appear in the next issue, but it's been inaccurate so many times, now I'm just wondering if it's a listing of the authors for the magazine in general. Although I don't see Barasui's name listed in the one I just linked.

>>225203
In the past when Azuma Kiyohiko was scheduled to take a month off, say when a Yotsubato volume or calendar was coming out, he wouldn't be listed.
Which just makes these last few months a little more disappointing.
And he has been listed for the next issue and not shown up before, but never for so many months in a row that I can recall.

>>225204
Well, we know he's still working on it because he just put out a call for new assistants in his twitter feed.

I've never actually seen a copy of the magazine, so I didn't know those preview pages had been in previous issues. The first time I ever saw them was when they redesigned the website and started uploading those as pdfs instead of the old format of just listing the artists and series one week before release (which they don't seem to do anymore).

Anyway, here's this month's IM.
I had thought the series might have ended with volume 7, but now that there's a new issue, that means Barasui has committed himself to like 150 more pages (although that could take another 10 years).

It's interesting that the establishing shot of the house in the first panel is a photograph.
Barasui's used that same establishing shot of the house dozens of times before, but I never realized it was based on an actual location.

Can anyone tell what Miu's shirt says?

Trope successfully subverted.

And here are the additional 4 panel strips included with volume 7 that AnonymouS with a capital S posted a few days ago.
Note that some of these were already translated when the original strips were published, but there are now new ones that have been inserted alongside them.

I didn't translate page 97 because both of those strips were in the original magazine version.

Here I can't tell if it's Chika or Miu talking in the last panel.
Because of the role reversal, I'm guessing it's Miu.

>>225206
Just checked to be sure.
Chapter 82 was in the April issue (came out on Feb. 27th). The little graphic on the last page showed it would be back in the June issue ( due out April 27th).
Inset is the preview that from that Daioh Ch.82 was in reflecting Azuma Kiyohiko's absence from the next months edition.

Also. Thanks for translating again!

Going through these Dengeki Daiohs I just realized that only 3 chapters of Yotsubato (total 73 pages) have come out in the last 9 months. Barasui stunned at Azuma's prolific output!

(Realize books, calendars etc. take up time).

Thank you Ralen.

And Barasui has also done a one page comic here (maybe it's not news but I don't think I've seen it discussed)
http://comic.pixiv.net/works/534

>>225217
Hm, interesting. I don't think I've seen that one before.

I wonder when it was posted. I don't see a date. He's talking about doing the back cover for volume 5, so I'd guess around 2007...

Is there any way to extract or save the full-sized image?

>>225208
Hmm, looks like the words "smoke, but & cough"? There might be another under her tie.

What was the latest Yotsuba chapter? I've been gone for two months. Is it still ch83?

>>225219
Based on the higher resolution scan, it looks like "Small But Tough."
At first I thought the bear was holding a spoon, but now I think it might be a knife.

>>225220
Yes, chapter 83 (Yotsuba & Sticks and Stuff) was the last chapter to be released.

oh yeah, thanx for the translation Ralen!

>>225188
Is there a batch I could download of everything so far?

Scans of this have still never popped up on Share...

>>225283
Oh, and sorry, no, I'm not aware of any batch files of everything to date. Although if you let me know what you're missing I could probably throw some copies up on mediafire or something.

>>225311
I think I have everything up to chapter 62. But I haven't looked for anything new for a while.

>>225312
I wasn't sure which issues were considered "Chapter 62" so I finally downloaded the raw of volume 7 (since all I had up to now were the serial releases).

It looks like there are some extra pages besides >>225210.

Oh, and there's also a page showing the solved crossword from >>225210.

The answers are:
1 Down: "Bullet Train" (shinkansen).
2 Down: "Baltans" (barutan, aliens from Ultraman with giant pincers for hands. The clue should have been "pincers" instead of "scissors").

1 Across: "Eraser" (keshigomu).
2 Across: "Billboard" (kanban).
3 Across: "Laundrya" (sentaku. The clue was hard to translate since it was cut off, but it should have been something like "Makes your clothes astonishingly white.")

The final answer is "Shibata."
Who is Shibata? I have no idea. Maybe this guy?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katsuyori_Shibata
I was expecting it to be "Matsuri."

Here's some more extra content from the Super Mario chapter, although there's nothing to translate here.

Nobue's shirt was blank in the original too.
It looks like Korean. Does anyone know what it says?

>>225319

>It looks like Korean. Does anyone know what it says?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guk#Gukbap

>>225320
Wow, so Bowser is named after a Korean rice dish. I never knew.

>>225188
Slightly better raw scans from Share finally showed up a while back.

I'm not planning to re-edit them with the translation though.

My copy of the new Dengeki Daioh just came in the mail.
A 7 page chapter this time. I'll scan and post it in a few hours.
Ralen, if you see this message in the next hour or so, let me know if you've already got it from Share. Otherwise I'll start when I get back from the store.

>>225730
I got it from Share yesterday. I was just about to start translating right now.

>>225731
Thanks, I'll stop then as I was just about to start cleaning/ redrawing process.

>>225732
Hope you didn't go to too much trouble already.

>>225733
No trouble, I really only keep buying them in case the scans don't appear online like the ones at the start of this thread or Yotsubato Ch.64. The erasing of the bleed through is the most time consuming aspect and I hadn't started that yet.

>>225734
The way to avoid the bleed through is to place something dark behind the page when you scan it. When I scanned Chiro-chan, I used a square of black posterboard.

I should say I buy Daioh in case "timely" scans don't show up as I see;
>>225648

The hiccups continue.

I think this manga has become nothing but sight gags in the past few years.

Sight gags and lolis.

That's all for this month. The note at the bottom says it'll be back in next month's issue on the 28th.

>>225735
I'll have to try that. The hardest part is trying not to break the spines. The magazines are easier to lay flat but the paper is really thin. The most trouble is when I've scanned the additions in the Japanese Yotsubato tankobons.
I've read scan groups put books in a microwave to unglue the pages, but I try to be non-destructive.
Thanks again for the translation!

>>225312
Sorry this is so late, but here is a mediafire download of everything that's come out since volume 6, including the issue I just posted in this thread.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/qx3bg49jlqlo9zt/IM_2010-03_to_2013-11.rar

All the chapters from volume 7 are included in this file, but these are the original monthly serialized versions.

There were a few additional pages added when volume 7 came out, and those are included in a separate folder in the file. They're also in this thread in >>225210, >>225211, >>225212, and >>225214.

>>225744
For Chiro-chan, I disassembled the volumes with a hairdryer to melt the glue. They also say you can use an iron.

The first two volumes went really well, but they changed the type of glue and binding method on the last two volumes, so those didn't debind as cleanly.

I put them all back together once I was done scanning (using an iron to melt the glue on the spine and then jam all the pages back in), but of course you can never get them pages back in quite as neatly and compactly as they were before they came out.

But just something to consider if you ever end up doing more scanning in the future. It just depends on whether you consider it more important to maintain the quality of the original printed product, or to get better scans.

Thank you. Always good to put my Ichigo in some Mashimaro one more time around

thanx a lot guys for the Ichigo Mashimaro stuff. I always read it, no matter how silly it is. Miu is truly autistic.

Why is there something except Azuma's works on /azu/ at all?

>>225749
Because I'm the one that translates it, and I don't really have any other place to post my translations.

I've offered multiple times to post it somewhere else if anyone has any reasonable suggestions, but most people here don't seem to mind it that much, so it still gets posted here.

Plus both series are in the same magazine, both have a similar art style ( at least I think so), both are exaggerated slice-of-life comedy manga. Barasui drew a chapter of Azumanga Daioh for the tribute book and they did a cross-over, of sorts.

>>225754
Name some manga or anime which isn't exaggerated.

Reposting the Halloween chapter because Halloween.

The big bold English text was in the original.
The subtitles underneath were in Japanese, which I then translated to English. So it's English with English subtitles.

Really, Chika?
You're surprised Miu has costumes in her house?
Wasn't that the entire basis of one of the chapters several years ago?

Wait, did she just disassemble their bathroom shelves?

This would make an ironic body pillow design.

>>225743
The hiccup saga continues (concludes?)

They all shared that thing after spitting back into it...

I mean I'm sure Nobue didn't care, but...

That's all for this month. The note in the margin says the series will continue next month.

thanx for the ichigo too. I'm still reading that, even after all those years. Ass-burger Miu is a scream. No so much in Real Life tho.

New Ichigo Mashimaro.
This month begins a new chapter.
3 pages plus a title page.

Ana in tights.

Adamski seems to be a reference to famous alien abductee, George Adamski. The little flying saucer looks a lot like his famous photo of a flying saucer.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Adamski

Until next time.

I'm not a fan of IM, but that chapter did make me laugh like a motherfucker, thanks.
It also warms my heart that Barasui still studies little girls clothing and style.

thank you for the new Ichigo, it was quite funny but too bad Barasui just barely sketched it, I guess he will fix it in the tankobon and actually draw it with good solid lines. If he ever makes enough pages for a tankobon.

>>227345
I thought the art looked relatively polished. I've seen some majorly unfinished sketchwork submitted in the past.

Like this.

>>227346
That's what was published in Dengeki Daioh.
Here's what it looked like in the final paperback collection.

In the Dengeki Daioh version you can tell it's just an enlarged portion from the frame above.

I'm surprised, yet love how he can get away with that shit.

Diary comic from Barasui. I found this on 2ch. It seems to be relatively recent judging by subject matter.

>>227433
Barasui realizes his series has finally been overshadowed by a show like Yuru Yuri?

>>227433
>>227438
Who is "Uni-san"?

The gist of the image is that Uni-san seems to be someone Barasui looked up to in his youth. Barasui finds his twitter page and gets all excited. When looking at Uni-san's list of favorite manga he's surprised to see Ichigo Mashimaro is not listed, but Yuru Yuri is.

I tried to google this but all I can find are Japanese image board threads with this same illustration (and a few notes that "Uni-san took down his twitter after this" or "Uni-san took Yuru Yuri off his list and added Ichigo Mashimaro after this.")

>>227441
When I typed Unisan in google Barasui came up as suggestion so we are not the only ones asking. I found IM fan art by someone called Unisan
http://aimaimimai.nobody.jp/thanks9/uni2011.htm
This is his pixiv
http://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=218860

I can't see this being someone who Barasui looks up to.

This tweet is interesting but I don't know what to make of it.
https://twitter.com/mikan_blue/status/137560320314056704

>>227443
Okay, I originally just glossed the image in >>227433, but there were a few words I couldn't make out. All I caught was "Magazine" and "Before I was a manga artist," so I assumed it was someone Barasui looked up to in his youth. Now that I've spent a little more time on it, I can read it.

It looks like that tweet is implying that Barasui (who is chronically absent from Dengeki Daioh) was redoubling his efforts to actually get his work submitted on time due to his experience with Uni-san's twitter.

>>227433

"Bara Diary" (A manga of the real life adventures of the manga artist)

2.
(Messing around online)
"...Huh?"

3.
"What!? No way, is this...?"

4.
"Uni-san!"
"Uni-san was..."

5.
"...someone who had taken an interest in my art back when I was doing magazine submissions before becoming a manga artist."
"We exchanged letters for a number of years. He was like my number 1 fan."

6.
"I haven't gotten in touch with him in ages though..."
(Man, what are the odds of stumbling across him like this?)
"Hehe, I'm glad he's doing all right!"

7.
"Ohh, list of favorite manga..."
"Huh, I don't see Mashimaro in here..."

8.
Yuru Yuri

9.
"Let's send Barasui-sensei letters of encouragement!"

>>227445
Now it makes sense. Thank you.

There's more manga on the list like Non Non Biyori and A-Channel but it seems Yuru Yuri hurt him more for some reason since it got its own panel.

>>227446
Those are all recent titles. The thing I notice on Twitter is that people list what they like either currently airing or recent enough to be in memories of fans. I love AzuDai, but it would seem strange to list it as current favorites, you know?
So, basically, Barasui needs to choke on his own ego and should learn how to Twitter.

>>227450
IM and Azumanga Daioh both began the same year.

Barasui has a day job or something, right? It would seem impossible to make a living off of the little work he does. And I speak as a huge fan of IchiMashi

>>227453
I had always envisioned him as just a slacker, but I remember seeing the link posted here of that Japanese discussion board thread from several years ago when his first son was born, so now I think maybe he's just busy.

I wonder if Barasui ever wonders about starting a male counterpart of IM since he has a son now?
Maybe he even dress him up in cute clothes?

>>227455
Two words: Sasadzuka-kun.

I thought the conclusion from the discussion about his son was that it was misunderstanding and it really was a new dog.

I thought Barasui's work has been sporadic in the last few years is because he was seriously sick with cancer? if he has a day job, he could be a designer of children's clothes he does them fairly well i think(shoes, skirts, etc). I can just picture him sitting in a mall staring at little girls as they pass by and sketching like mad.

>>227457
second this, it wasn't a son, it was a dog, he is a big fan of dogs.

>>227458

>second this, it wasn't a son, it was a dog, he is a big fan of dogs.

Oh, really? I kind of remember that, but not really. Oh well, it's more inline with the mental image I have of him anyway.

>I thought Barasui's work has been sporadic in the last few years is because he was seriously sick with cancer?

I remember hearing somewhere that one of his longer recent hiatuses (hiati?) was due to "health reasons" but I don't know the exact source of that information, or what "health reasons" actually means.

Barasui once again ripping off paying homage to Azuma.

Robots Aliens cannot eat pastries...

That's all until next time.

You know that German porno with "E.T."? That's what Miu's costume and her natural large head reminds me of.

so Miu Matsuoka IS real and really DOES exists!
SCAAAARY!

>>227784
Real life Matsuri.

^she has to be legal now~

now if we can only find a real life Fuuka and/or Ena our fap folders will be complete...

>>227785
she looks retarded...

oops, I guess that's not Politically Correct I should have said "autistic", right?

>>227808
I think Matsuri is a little bit retarded... Or at least developmentally challenged.
Miu is the autistic one.

That's right. Even AzuDai has its own example.

>>227810
And the difference is boobs

In the name of the son of man, I would walk to the Isle of Man for one touch of those tiny little boobs

Matsuri cosplayer

always makes me laugh

great advert for japan

>>227814
I'm not lovin' it.

>>227815
I remember seeing a thread in a forum a long time ago where someone got seriously offended by this image.

just like you got offended by KOTOKO's "Princess Bride", right Ralen my boie?
Once again, you prove beyond any doubt that you Americans are the biggest hypocrites on the planet.

>>227820

>KOTOKO's "Princess Bride"

You mean that movie with Cary Elwes? What was offensive about that?

>>227821
Andre the Giant's acting?

you idiot. ralen isn't offended by some obscure jpop song. ralen is offended by food that isn't blessed by the tears of a shaman who has only eaten wheat grown in the highest mountains in china.

#thestruggleisreal

>>227615
Just wondering what chapter number have we reached now with this?

>>227908
The hiccup saga would work out to be chapter 71 (the first chapter following volume 7) and the current alien one would be chapter 72.
It's unknown whether the new issue will be a continuation of the alien chapter, or the start of a new one (it hasn't shown up on Share yet).

goddamnit Azuma, I'll suck your dick if it gets Yotsuba out as soon as possible. is that what you want? turning me gay?

>>227910
You wouldn't suck it regardless?
What kind of fan are you?

He would just criticize my fellatio technique on Twitter, showing mild irritation.

Also, if his doujin work is any indication, it'd be very impersonal.

so is there ever going to be new Ichigo or/and Yotsubato?

>>227950
There was a new IM in last month's Dengeki Daioh, but the scans haven't come up on Share yet.

>>227952
I wonder what happened to that guy who said he was going to buy Dengeki Daioh as a back up. Alternately, you could try Perfect Dark, although I haven't checked to see if some one put up scans there.

>>227980
I'm him. The website I get my subscription through sent me a copy of Dengeki Daioh G by mistake:
http://daiohg.dengeki.com/
They're reordering the correct item, but even if they can I won't get it for another week or so.

>>227980
I installed Perfect Dark around the same time I got Share, but I had trouble getting the hang of it. Also, it seemed like support for it was kind of drying up (why can't the Japanese just use Bit Torrent?)

I had to start running Share on an XP VM (which took forever) once I upgraded my OS to Windows 8, and I never really bothered trying to use Perfect Dark after that. I don't know if I could get it to run with my current set up.

It is surprising that it's been this long without any scans showing up on Share though. So far nothing from last month's issue has popped up. I'd almost think my connection wasn't working, but I can still see scans from the previous month's issue disappearing and reappearing from time to time. I am worried that support for Share might be waning too. I don't know if I can learn another file sharing program.

>>227982
It was a pain in the ass to install on windows 8 because it can't open its own ports and the starting hashes at the dev blog are really out of date and useless and you cant download anything until you've downloaded a 2 GB cache, which takes ages. I installed it because I heard share was declining in users, but a quick scan at 2ch said otherwise.

I actually am pretty surprised its taking so long to get scans up, since I thought that thing in August where the raws finally turned up in October was going to be a one time thing.

>>227981
I thought that subscribing to it was impossible and you had to order it every month. You learn something new every day. I've never even heard of Dengeki Daioh g, it looks like a moe to the max publishing from the website.

>>227982
Aaaand its not there. It serves me just fine for warezed nukige and H anime no one cares about, but sometimes I get too optimistic. Man, I hate how stripped down this board is.

>>227984
Almost makes me wish the Yukari is Free people would come back.

...almost.

I kind of miss Social Disaster.
Not the other guys, though.

>>227981
After I say, that my copy shows up today.
Here's Ichigo. A whole 2 pages!!

page 2

A closeup of the gutter text incase it's hard to make out.

>>227989
Thanks for the scans.

This is a good chapter if you like seeing the shape of Miu's butt.

...Who am I kidding, is there even any other reason people read this?

i think the real question is how did miu get that suit on? its not only tight but the zipper..

>>227993
Should have been "Miu-chan."
Only Chika calls her "Micchan."

Thanks for the 2 pages, I see Barasui isn't straining himself. Although he leveled up his butt techniques, so that makes up for it

>>227995
That thing has to be filling with sweat as we speak.

I'd drink it.

My copy of Dengeki Daioh arrived early.
Scanned the 3 pages of Ichigo M. (hope Ralen doesn't already have them).

Page 2

Page 3

Raws for last month and this month just showed up on Share.
Here are the scans from last month, which are slightly better quality (along the margins at least) than >>227989 and >>227990.
I'm not redoing the edits with the new scans though.

This month's issue is 3 pages. I'll probably upload the translation tomorrow evening.

>>228030
>>228031
>>228032
Wait, have those been there all day? Why didn't I notice them until now?

Oh well, thanks for the scans. Here are the ones I just grabbed of Share though.

>>228030
>>228031
>>228032
I actually think your scans are better for this issue. They're higher res, and you didn't cut off the top of Nobue's head on page 2.

Translated.
New issue next month, according to the note at the end.

>>228058
Thanks!

More IM for the masses. It's great! Life is great.

Tied up AND freshly pissed? Barasui is on a roll~

>>228063
Wouldn't Matsuri-chan be the one freshly pissed since she just came from the bathroom?

>>228064

thank you guys for continuing to translate Ichigo. I know it should have been put to rest a year or so ago but as long as barasui is kinda faking that he is kinda doing it I will keep on reading it.

It's kind of sad. Years back, his name would be dropped here and there, but he's seems just about forgotten, like what the comic was telling.
He could stop and end his manga right now, and he'll just become an obscure name that was once loosely associated with lolis - at best.

I wonder how he feels about that, since I'm sure he knows that much is true, too.

2 pages in 2 months.
Still more productive than Azuma.

When this chapter first started, Miu Murofushi-san was speaking all in katakana, but in this issue (s)he uses tons of kanji. I wonder if it's because it would have been too confusing without it.

There actually a Windows phone by HTC called the 8S, but I think this might be an iPhone reference (since we've only got the 5S right now)

>>228503
oh I bet there is tons of sketches of nude and who knows what doing Fukka, Ena and Miura in Azu's sketcbooks.
IS there any indication if Azuma has ever been out on a date with a woman in his life or has he ever had a girlfriend?

>>228522
He's been pretty chummy with a few different girls over his twitter feed over the years. I kind of suspect he had something going on with Masumi Asano for a while there.

>>228523
twitter, eh? oh yeah, twitter IS real life and proof, yes indeed.

>>228534
Some twitter pages show tendency of reporting events earlier than they could actually happen. Like people aging about 5-7 years in my few months. Basically any social network is crap.

New IM scans showed up on Share yesterday. Two pages again. Funny how Barasui can be outpacing Azuma's production in terms of pages per month, and then Azuma comes from behind and blows him out of the water with a 38 page chapter.

I probably won't get to translating them tonight, or maybe not tomorrow either, but I'll definitely have it done by the end of day Monday.

>>227341
I just caught a typo on this page in the second panel.

And here are this month's pages (I'm reluctant to call it a "chapter.")

Lots of kanji in the alien-speak again this time as well. I wonder if the editor complained to Barasui about it or something.

>>228756
Too lazy to even trace over his background images.

>>228757
I wonder if Barasui has an assistant/team of assistants like Azuma does.

I find it hard to imagine. I kind of picture him scribbling these out in his basement on the weekends.

>>226636
I just got this.

Today I was walking past a hair salon and they were advertising "Treatment" as one of their services.
Apparently that's the term the Japanese use for applying conditioner to your hair.

So when Miu hears "Treat," her mind immediately goes to "Treatment," the closest word she's familiar with.

2014-12 Page 01

>>229172
Page 02

>>229173
Page 03

>>229174

Hah! That last panel is supposed to be the Captured Alien, isn't it?

>>229174
Usually the loli isn't the one who gets arrested.

I like how this is a distinctly Barasui-esque twist on what was essentially the same premise on the Yotsuba and Danbo chapter.

>>229172

Thanks for posting this.
Not like this requires much translation, but...

>>229172
1.
"The Alien Saga's Thrilling Conclusion!"

Margin: "The story so far: Miu, dressed as an alien, takes on actual aliens!"

2.
Miu: "I have no idea what I'm gonna do..."

Miu: "Don't shatter Matsuri-chan's innocence."
Miu: "You gotta think of something... Gotta think of something... Gotta think of something..."

Miu: "At this point..."

"The only thing left to do is call them!!"

Was wondering where the Halloween thread for a split second. Then I saw my nightmare made real.

>>229184
cool, thanx for this!

>>229183
Well done, Azunymous.

>>229186
Shock indeed.
Poor Matsuri. Now she'll be traumatized because her alien friend is gonna be experimented on.
They'll see how it responds to intense heat, freezing cold, high voltage, toxic substances, pain, sleep deprivation, inoculation (that's needles), and of course dissection.

Nice conclusion to the alien saga.

>>229204
I think that's how the television show Alf ended.

>>229208
Well, he wasn't necessarily caught, but he was surrounded.
If you weren't aware of the film that continued from that point, then the TV series ended on one hell of a cliffhanger.

no new chapters, huh? Neither Yotsuba or IM?

ver: babe

>>229475
No, see the twitter thread for updates.
When a new Dengeki Daioh comes out, I always post in that thread whether there's a new chapter that month or not.

I received my copy of Dengeki Daio early, here's the Ichigo M. pages. Hopefully better scans show up as I had trouble with these.

Thanks, I've had the raws off Share a couple of days now. Just haven't made the time to translate.
The Share scans didn't come with the color ad though.

Short version: Barasui's going to be at a convention signing autographs.

Two whole pages of content. I guess it's better than the zero pages of Y&!, but still..

>>229784
Plus you can see up Miu's shorts. When's the last time Azuma drew that kind of fan service?

You know, I had a dream last night that I was at some kind of anime convention, and learned that Barasui actually had a lot of creative ideas for other series, but no one would read them because everyone just wanted him to draw lolis.

I don't think that's actually true, but it was an interesting thought.

>>229785 Yotsuba is a manga that I read in public, the less creepy fan service the better.

>>229786
For a brief period several years ago, I had a Japanese pen pal that I met on a language site, and when I told her I read Ichigo Mashimaro, she informed me that it was an extremely loli manga, but tried very hard not to be judgmental of me.

>>229779
In Japan, Buddhist temples literally ring in the new year with bells.

No story here, but some interesting info concerning Barasui's appearance at Dengeki Comic Fest 2015.

I anticipate some painful wordplay ahead.

Also, Aphex Twin necklace.

did this clown rip off another azuma joke with the new years dream? I know it's a tradition in japan, but no other recent series have made an effort to bring that up as of late.

Suzumiya Haruhi-chan had an episode on that. Koizumi was Mt. Fuji, and Tsuruya was a crane standing in for the hawk (it's a pun because Tsuru means "crane").
Nagato was an eggplant cell phone charm on Kyon's phone.

I actually don't mind these joke rip-offs that much though, because Barasui always takes them in a totally different direction.
The Danbo chapter of Yotsuba didn't end with Miura being hauled off by the cops.

Yotsuba would've had a great expression of horror, no doubt.

I have the latest issue's scans off Share, but it will be a bit before I can get to translating it.

>>230029
put up the raws at least, we wanna see 'em, especially if there are pantsu shots

Panel 5 is イソフラボンガボン. I have no idea if this means anything so I just wrote it phonetically.

Hakuho Sho is a sumo wrestler. Yokozuna is the highest rank of sumo.

It looks like the nameplate on Ana's house says 犬 (dog).

So I guess next we'll see Ana and Matsuri's dreams...

Thanks very much for the translation Ralen!

thank you ralen. actually nobue's dreams might be more interestin' hhehe

I heard via some random guy on pixiv that IM is about to start re-airing in Japan beginning in April.

>>230152
Like, reruns or something?
I'd be pretty stoked for another season or even more OVAs but I can't imagine there's really enough source material yet, and I don't see any mention of it on the usual airtime charts..

>>230160
The note said it was a rebroadcast, so I'm assuming that means reruns of the first series.
