It has come to our attention that many of you guys are upset over the upload of Vol. 3 Ch. 1. The result of which led to the scanlation group Hero Scans to “drop” the project, and cause many of you to lash out here in the comments.

I would like to inform you that we are in cahoots with Hero Scans regarding the matter. ONE of two things may happen; Hero Scan will claim this series again (we will have our upload deleted) and they will upload their version at a much later date OR my team will publish the third volume like we planned. I WILL update you guys on the conclusion.

We’re not here for trouble, stay safe. Please support the author. <3

    Hi there, thank you for stepping out. Just wondering why you guys didn’t discuss with Hero Scans before making this move? Another manga I followed (Jujin Omegaverse Remnant) had a very slow scanlation group so someone decided to pick it up. BUT they let the original group know their intention, and respect the group’s request to leave out the chapter they were working on. That’s how it should have been done. You only have yourselves to blame for this mess :/

    Contrary to popular belief, we actually DID try to contact them 2 weeks before we pursued this. We’re already discussing this with Hero Scans.

    We all appreciate your intentions so don't take what the anon below said to heart. I think your translations were just fine, only a bit of miscommunication.

    SoCalledSnipers November 17, 2020 2:51 am

    I appreciate the support, but there’s truth to every argument. This is a case HUGE miscommunications and we are working to correct it.

    And the reason why you didn’t wait for the discussion to finish? I may sound unreasonable to you, because as a reader benefiting off scanlation groups like Hero scans, it’s natural that I support them and their interests (because why not?). I have no issue over transferring project into a group that can handle it better, I just can’t justify how you and your group chose to ignore everyone and proceed as you like. A more transparent transition would have hugely benefited how your group is accepted.

    You’re speaking purely on assumptions right now, you do realize this. I’m assuming what you want is for us to “explain ourselves” but to be frank I don’t feel compelled to. You play no part in this.

    a few questions:

    1) are you using your own raws or someone else's? the vague intro page saying you're "inspired" by qvfamma's translations isn't very helpful in light of past snipers just google translating over that group's scans - would be nice to know whether we can expect qvfamma will also drop the series in light of this or not.
    2) do you have any way for readers to contact you besides some burner mangago account that may or may not be responsible for these uploads? i notice no socials, no websites, no discord, which is convenient for you if you decide to disappear after getting bored, but leaves readers here up shit creek without a paddle if you do decide to dip, huh?
    3) did you bother to wait for hero scans to respond to your messages? you say you're in "cahoots" with them but have avoided answering whether they responded to your messages i've noticed....
    4) do you plan to get all the extras from each place that releases them? hero scans was kind enough to release all tokuten content, which qvfamma doesn't do jic you were hoping to work off of their translation without permission like others have in the past (and no, the jp r/enta volume release you keep linking won't contain all that extra content). in addition, do you also plan to release the second kuroji and harutsugu chapter that was released? that is also only in paperback copy rn until the volume releases - which could be a few more months, meaning you'll also have to put up with the same barrage of readers begging for updates every day - or, you would, if you'd bothered to link yourselves to the project in any concrete way.
    5) what will do you if/when megutsugu gets licensed in english? futekiya has been asking for those rights recently after all.

    i ask all the questions i did above not to scare you or drag you either; in the end, i do buy the raws for myself and am more hopeful for that official licensing than i am hopeful about any scanlation group finishing this, so no skin off my back if you do or don't follow through. but frankly, it was naive of you to assume there wouldn't be backlash from you sniping a more reliable, credentialed scanlation group's work (which it seems you did because you keep avoiding giving details about how this """transition" has worked) and this kind of response to people pushing back doesn't inspire hope that you'll deal any better with the pressure of releasing a very popular series than hero scans did. to everyone here who doesn't buy officially: good luck lmao, i hope whining about how "sniping isn't a big deal bc we're all here reading illegally XD" works out for you.

    Not sure what you’re trying to get at, but I already said what I wanted to say in my original comment. Hope that helps you.

    oof, yeah, this just confirms for me you sniped everything. i'd say good luck, but i think it's the readers here who don't buy the chapters that'll really be suffering instead of y'all so.......hope this has helped you too, hun.

    SoCalledSnipers November 17, 2020 5:26 am

    And if that’s your conclusion, that’s fine with me. I’m solely here to deliver the message that we’re working to resolve this. Happy to hear you’re a supporter of Mitsuru!

    I guess both you and I got the answers to our questions( ̄へ ̄)

    How about you get together with Hero Scans and help them? Maybe buy your own digital copy but use their translation or something like that. Because the waiting time for these chapters is always really long and as long as that is the case people will snitch... as this is one of the most popular BL mangas right now. So only way to resolve the snitching issue is faster uploads which means Hero Scans needs help. Your cleaning was really good and hq so I think that would work out just fine

    1) You're gaining nothing from arguing with them & you're being extremely rude 2) this scanlatation group explained the whole situation in detail here:
