Brief Update:

     今日は我が友会！ - {Konnichiwa yukai waga!} - Good Day our friends!

Today we just have a couple of short announcements.  

     First, the above images are a sneak peak of a package that I have assembled to release when we reach our quarter million visitors milestone.  It's a beautiful set of a bunch if Worksafe Vocaloid Backgrounds. 

     We're working as hard as ever and please keep supporting us, as you guys are our motivating factor, thank you all for everything!

    We have a SPECIAL CONTEST (see below) where you can enter to win a translation of your favorite holiday set.  Again, See the bottom of this post for details.

     

New Release News:

     Next, We have two new books and a 3rd ready to be released over the course of the next couole weeks, these three are guaranteed so please be sure to keep an eye out for them!  The first (they will be shown chronologically below) is awaiting proof-reading and then it will be posted as soon as it's corrected.  The second, is close to done, right now it's in the middle of Type-setting and it will need a proof-read to be released which won't be too much longer after the first. The third book to expect soon is another wonderful book that is near completion.

Also, a correction has been made; "Marcy Dogs - Cover Arts Collection" has been temporarily suspended, it will be released but not until the later future.

The aforementioned list:

Kotora Kurosaki - Rikei Kanojo Hajikeru Science (Comic Tenma 2009-11)

     This is first up on our release list; expect it very soon (in English of course!)  For those of you that do not know; Kotara Kurosaki also known as Leo Kurosaki is Makoto Horo from the famous Uchoten [Luciferhood] team.  Unfortunately, somewhere along the way there seems to have been a hiatus from from Uchoten, they just disapeered one day for "Rehabilitaion" as according to their blog.  

     Even more unfortunite is that Fumiko Tohdoh seems to have vanised completely.  But The Kursaki Project as I like to call it, is an Uchoten fanboy's dream.  Just when you thought they were gone forever, there is a comeback.  Although it is only one part of the two member party, it's just so wonderful that Makoto Horo is making new doujinshi and manga.  He is doing rather well to be honest, as you can see his artwork is fantastic and he has just recently released two FULL-COLOR manga anthologies.  The publishers must have faith in his abilities because full-color printing nearly doubles the manufacturing costs.  While Uchoten together was a more "sex excess and deep meanings" as seen in the Spitfire Saga. Kurosaki is focusing more on; cute, naughty, love stories and gratuitous sex, although in some cases (aside from nipples) the genitals aren't as detailed as Uchoten but the stories makes up for that.  This is a great story and we can't wait to share it with you!

Nega Akio - Shippo no Kimochi

     This is the second book mentioned above, it will be released soon after the Kurosaki book.  It takes  while to translate and edit a book so we tend to not release them in consecutive days but expect this one within the same week as the one above.  If you like the theme of a Seme Neko-Shota forcing himself on an Uke and the Seme forcefully recieving.... You'll be in for a treat.  There is no bondage and rape in this one, the kitty-boy uses his sly language to convince his old friend to do the nasty (hehe even though it's hardly nasty) ... This cover picture should explain the character of the Neko-Shota, he has yummies dripping off of him.

Takase Yuu - Kanzen Nenshou 4.25 (Perfect Youth 4.25)

    This is a veryyyy special treat, it seems our Takase Yuu books recieve such wonderful comments and likes that we just had to do another one, plus Boutoku really likes Takase Yuu, as much as I do and has started this story a while ago. Takase Yuu is one of my top five favorite artists of all time.  This book just needs some editing and re-working and then it's good to go, I would expect it to be released not too far in the future.

Special Contest:

     Want to see something special you want translated? Do you want you're forum name on Hataraki Bachi and/or have you're name added to credits of the work too? (If you wish to remain anonymous, that's cool too)  We are taking image sets via the group e-mail for the holidays for translations.  We are accepting Christmas; Hannukah and New Years Images; Basically Winter Sets in general.

The rules are; 

1) The file must be in .rar format; 

2) It MUST be a HOLIDAY RELATED image set in need of translation (easy to come across on PIXIV; Gelbooru etc.) OR; it can be a short <5 page yomikiri/doujinshi story.  The image set is limited to 5 pictures if there is a lot of text and editing that needs to be done or up to 10 images if there is a small line per picture.  

3) Not every picture needs to have text, by the way, but at least half should.

4) You have better chances at winning the rarer the pics are.  If you go into a Takenokoya Image set and pull images from his Christmas collection, you're less likely to win than if you came across a set of his old/new images from his blog (he releases new christmas stuff every year).

5) Your chances also increase also by the release date of the items, newer = better.  But if you have an old rare set, that is a fair exception too ... 

Rarity and Newness are one in the same ;)

6) KEEP THE SETS WITHIN THE GUIDELINES AND MORE THAN ONE PERSON CAN WIN!

7) To make submissions:  

First, place in the subject line:
