Asuka Katsura’s “HoneyComb”, chapter 3, introducing Kanenari the beggargirl. It’s just moe, ain’t it?

Forum and new twitter‘s up, by the way. Join up because…….well, no one else is. Also need tips on more stable filehosts. And recruiting staff. Yeah, that’s it for now, I guess.

“Honey honey, up in the trees
Fill the flowers deep in his dreams
Eat them out to sea by the east
Honey honey, food for the bees”

So, 4 years now, huh? Have a new project to celebrate that: “HoneyComb” or “Honey Comb” by Asuka Katsura. Comedy, maid cafe, management, wait staff, menial labor, otaku, moe, weirdos, blah blah blah craziness overall. Got chapters 1 and 2 right here for the download.

Sticky’s still up, Rabbits still recruiting, so give it a read. Also, here’s the Rabbit forums, go populate it because nothing’s there. Guess that’s all to say for now? Alright, enjoy it.

Insects infest the Cowslip.

“In the ancient city of London, on a certain autumn day in the second quarter of the sixteenth century, a boy was born to a poor family of the name of Canty, who did not want him. On the same day another English child was born to a rich family of the name of Tudor, who did want him. All England wanted him too. England had so longed for him, and hoped for him, and prayed God for him, that, now that he was really come, the people went nearly mad for joy.”

Mineo Maya’s “Rashanu!”, chapter 3, joint with Onadoru……and that’s pretty much it for this series since it doesn’t have a translator anymore. “Haunted House of Horrors”, Rashanu and his cousin visit a comte in France. I actually got a lot to say, but spoilers. But yeah, enjoy.

EDIT: updated links to include credits.

“Save your tears. I’ll reap your sorrow slowly. I have centuries to discover the things that make you whimper.”

“Food Girls”, chapter 11, featuring Eggplant-sama. okama’s great tribute to a great vegetable. There’s S&M and hentai dialogue, and we all love that, don’t we?

So let’s see, news……uh, recruitment’s still up. We actually did get applicants, surprisingly, so that’s going good. More wouldn’t be too bad. Also new forum’s up and it looks the exact same thing as the old one….and nothing’s really in it yet because barely anyone knows about it. So there’s that.

Same house, same Club.

“First, your return to shore was not part of our negotiations nor our agreement so I must do nothing. And secondly, you must be a pirate for the pirate’s code to apply and you’re not. And thirdly, the code is more what you’d call “guidelines” than actual rules. Welcome aboard the Black Pearl, Miss Turner.”

okama’s “Food Girls”, chapter 10. We learn the history between Mama Cook-san and Cook-san! Woah, backstory in Food Girls? Shit’s crazy! Also, Ghost and Funny insisted on the ‘wenk’.

So everyone’s worried about the whole acronym mess that’s been going around the internet, yeah? SOPA, ACTA, filehosts going down, all that crap. Chillax, there’ll be new ones and new ways to get around whatever they’re doing. Can’t stop the future.

Survive 7 days of Cowslip.

It’s the recruitment post and it’s so important, it’s a STICKY.

Seriously, click this because it’s more than just recruitment noise.

First off, read this post. Done? Good. Project list is up top, so check out the current stuff and the completed stuff. Ignore the future because that’s just there……..because.

So I’m laying out exactly what we need in our terms:

Management:

• Forums
  I’ll be setting up a new forum for us to move to from the old Revolution. Admins and mods required, dealing with spam and all that crap. Hell, even setting up a community that’s not just the staff…….although I guess that’s the only real point of the forum.
• IRC
  Do we even need one?
• Twitter
  I’ll have to get the account……or start fresh.
• News sites
  Just using Mangaupdates as of present; are there any other places we should use for further publicity?
• Filehosts
  Please list ones that haven’t been killed/on the chopping block. Maybe we’ll need that IRC after all.

Scanlation:

• Supplier
  Those scans have to come from somewhere. Now we can only credit you as supplier if you scanned them yourself, but you’ll still count as a Rabbit if you pass raws along. Higher quality, the better.
• Translator
  Something critical to a scanlation group, right? This one’s self-explanatory. You can do whatever you want, just one series…..or ten. You control the direction of the Rabbits.
• Script Editor
  Translation doesn’t always sound right. Your job is to make it sound right. That might even mean changing what’s actually happening. This is actually kind of a bullshit position because it crosses over with typesetter most of the time. There’s also grammar and spelling, and that’s always fun.
• Cleaner
  All that text, all that dust from poor scanning, and whatever else, the cleaner’s there to handle it. We call it “cleaner” but redrawing (as in, actually redrawing manga images) is part of the job too. Photoshop’s tool of the trade. A tablet’s recommended.
• Typesetter
  Putting the text onto the pages. This means selecting fonts, selecting text placement. Tedious, but also has the responsibility of changing the script depending on the bubble size/situation. Sometimes the script just doesn’t fit (physically or in-tone), you know?
• Quality Check
  The finalization process. Easy, right? No, see, this is why I personally prefer everyone to be doing work in Photoshop’s layers: easy corrections. I’m talking layers that allow me to tweak minor and major changes in seconds. You’ll be comparing the raws to the cleans to make sure details weren’t lost, the script to final script to make sure meanings are still relatively the same, and most boring of all…….filename and filesize consistency.

Most positions tend to cross over into each other, remember. You’ll be asked to script check or quality check or whatever. Chillax, if you’re not a cleaner, I won’t kick down your door and order you to redraw a billion-page spread, just try to be flexible to some of the other jobs.

No prior knowledge is required, just the assurance that you’ll be sticking with the Rabbits and willing to learn. If I say “hey, this clean’s kinda shit, redo it”, don’t flip out. Rabbits have a level of quality in scanlation and honestly, it’s not that high. I’ll be there to guide pretty much all the positions through everything if you need me to be…….except translators, you’re kinda on your own there. Though I guess by talking about the work-in-progress script, that’s some degree of help.

And if you’re still on the fence, here’s a disclosure on a bunch of our REAL future projects:

I really don’t know if we’ll ever get to all these seeing how the majority don’t have a translator………hell, there’s even more that I haven’t listed. But yeah, if anyone’s got the interest for anything, send me an email at pr.rabbit [at] gmail [dot] com. Joining up, collabs, supplying raws, just taking a look at the current projects (I was going to upload everything…….but damn, that’s a lot of files. Comment if you want something upped)……anything’ll do us good.

If you read this far, thanks.

Tearjerker, shadow lurker, wonder worker, reach a bit further
Will you by any chance
Remember the olive branch?”

Took two years, but here’s okama’s “Food Girls” chapter 9……starring Onion-chan. A real sadsack of a story this time, kinda like that little match girl, yeah?

As for the Rabbits, we’re in need of……..pretty much all and any staff, from forum management to IRC management, to the scanlating labor. And if anyone’s still around from the golden days, hit me up with an email at pr.rabbit (at) gmail (dot) com as well.
