Hey Friends!

 I wanted to get into the habit of updating more, I think it'd be better for everyone =) There isn't too much to report at this moment but here goes.

1- We just released the new version of Gaul's Reward and I thought it was AMAZING, as did a lot of you, good job guys and also thank you friends for you're support!

⁂We actually JUST released a FRENCH VERSION of this book - Which you can get to just by clicking the below link!  

Oki No Matsuhiro [Fuwawa] - His Royal Highness Gaul's Reward (Dog Days) EXTENDED FRENCH VERSION

2- Ofcourse we have our special collectible image for today's update post; this week it is a picture from Puella Magi Madoka Magica!  It's such a wonderful series and it's only 12 episodes long (for those of you that have limited free time such as myself)  It's really an original take on the Maho Shoujo (Magical Girl) genre and I GUARANTEE you will cry at some point, I don't care how "manly" you may be.  It's really an amazing show that hasn't quite reached the mainstream yet due to it's sub's/raw only status 'cuz it's not Dubbed.

Why this picture though?

To answer that question is easy; It's part of a wonderful side project I've been working on featuring Madoka Magica as the main focus.  The set will be released in probably 3-4 sets, one of handmade character pages (using offical art and some translated text); the Episode Illustrations (like above) will be released in the highest quality possible and lastly there is some REALLY cool witch cards that feature each with and it's familiar from the series and episode, I just have to translate and edit those and will probably be the last part released.  This project will be extra special - I promise~!

3- Kashimada Shiki + Yoshida Chie - The Nice Animal Anthology will be released within this week, it's a 40-something page book that has been completely edited and uncensored - It looks great I can't wait to hear what you all have to say about it!

4 - Just a reminder:

It's you the fans that we do this for (and ourselves to be honest, but only a little!)

Your comments and inquiries really help us decide on things to do.  

For example, item #2 on today's agenda, the Madoka Magica project, that was inspired by the poll we held asking what else you guys would like to see here! (You can see results in the Poll Results tab on right) So, we want to thank you and encourage you all to comment and be a part of the group.  

Please don't post links in a spamming fashion (ie: 3 links in one post, 2 more in the next) if you want to send us something that is more than one post, please feel free to email it. 

We love when you guys share things for us and suggest things so please don't hesitate to do so at all.  If you like a book, say so, it can really cheer up one of our team-mates when they see something as simple as "That book was great!" because it means a lot to us!  If you're worried about anonyminity you can always post as anonymous.  Thank you all for everything!

5 - Oh yeah, E-mail, while our group is in constant discussion and communication I sometimes forget to check the Hatarakibachi: Busy Bee Translations E-mail; Yes, it happens, I have a full-time school schedule, work and free-lance design projects aside from this which in itself is a full-time job (but more of a labor of love) .. Anywho, we are working out a way to be able to check the e-mail more often.  A solution is in the works as we speak, so to anyone whose written us and didn't get a reply yet, you will shortly and I apologize for such a long wait but we always get to every single letter at some point <3

6- WONDERUL NEWS! We NOW HAVE A COMMENT AND DISCUSSION PAGE (It's on the side bar on right under "Pages Tab" or "Here" ) 

This is something you guys voted for in a recent poll and we have delivered, I think it'll be alot of fun, go check it out now and we look forward to hearing and talking with you all!  You can remain anonymous if you wish, we have it set up like that <3

 Well that's all I can think of for now, I know there was something else but I'll just have to remember and come back and update this post on the d/l so no ones ;)  

Good Night Everyone And God Bless,

You're friends,

♡ Dari-kun and the Team  @ Hatarakibachi: Busy Bee Translations
