Basic Update:

Today is a special day for Hatarakibachi: Busy Bee Translations! =) It is the day we officially settle with new additions to the layout!  Plus, we have a book to be released within a few minutes after this post.  First, to explain why everything looks so different, is rather easy ... because it looks better.  Hehe the truth is, our first-year anniversary is rounding the corner rather soon, only about a month and a half left to go.  It was brought up that we should change a few things, in regards to the layout and make it look a bit better while still retaining the fun informal way the blog is run.  So that explains that.  The credit is mainly do to, Dari-kun & Hany as we spent one morning working on different ways and ideas on how to make things a little better such as fixing our banner's length and size, fixing the format so it works for other web browsers.  We also changed some of the color schemes, especially my favorite which is what Hany did with the HTML to allow us to have the yellow date bars, it looks cool, ne?  In fact, there is a lot more yellow and changed fonts, huh? And of course, we have an artistic Uchoten character in the background that scrolls with ya as you navigate the page.  There is smaller version of him on the right if you wanted to see the whole image.

E-Mail Update:

In other news, we will be changing out group's e-mail address soon, there will be a notice posted and the current links will be changed, our team will now be taking monthly shifts on answering and replying to e-mails to ensure a faster response time to you guys that e-mail us.  As of now, I will keep checking it and if I have gotten or get to your letter late, it's nothing personal, we will reply to all messages at some point so don't ever think we ignored you.  We have jobs and school and stuff and on top of the translations, sometimes checking e-mail slips our minds ;)

Image information: 

The above image I just scanned and edited for this post, the information is there, it's a small side-project I've been working on, rather been meaning to work on, there are a bunch of wonderful pictures in the Loveless series, some colored and some in need of coloring, we'll see how it goes ;)  If you want the Loveless set, say something in the comment section of this post and maybe if I get enough motivation I'll actually do it <3

Upcoming Releases:

 We have so much fun stuff coming out in the near future that I will briefly share them with you:

First we have, "Back on Track" by Kine (Drum-kan) ... 

This book is actually ready for release and expect to see it up within the next hour or so.

The next book that should be ready for release soon is Uchoten - Spitfire 30 (2nd Stage) - "All Night Long".  This book is only 8 pages but will be 16 when finished when the Omake is included, the omake is very special and colorful, but you'll just have to wait and see what I'm talking about XD

At some time in the future this is another book we plan to release "Cover Arts Collection" by Marcy Dogs .. This book is a special on the cover artwork of the Shikou no Shounen Anthologies that have been circulated, it also features one of the cutest yomikiri shota stories I've seen in a while in the second half.  It's still in the beginning stages however and it's a rather long book so I'd give it some time before expecting to see the final version.

Last but certainly not least is this book; "Kimi no Soba ni..." by Nankai no Sizimi, this like the previous book is still in the beginning stages but will be released soon enough, so it gives ya something to lookforward too ;) It's a realllllly cute book featuring a shota with glasses <3 hehe a personal favorite of quite a few people, such as Toki-kun, whose idea it was to do this book <3

Final Statement: 

That's all for now friends, take care and thank you for being a friend of us here at Hatarakibachi: Busy Bee Translations and we really value your comments, visits and participation.  From me and everyone here, take care for now and look for "Back on Track" in just a little while! Bye bye!
