We have moved!

We are no longer known as Mochi Cake Scans, and everything has been transferred over to our new site/group, Puffy Panda (Scans).

http://www.puffypandas.co.cc/

We're only part Scanlations, the other part is just random blogging/ranting/rambling about music, anime/manga, books, and such. Thanks for sticking with us :)

The awesome DONATE button!

Yessir, you may have noticed a DONATE button RIGHT there in the sidebar. Why do we have one of those when we've only had one release? The thing is, I'm going to Japan in March. Unfortunately, the trip itself costed me $3600 dollars (I'm going with my school) so I don't have any spending money. I'm hoping to buy some manga to be able to RIP APART and scan in when I get back, so I'm hoping to collect $40 in donations.

$40 CAD roughly translates to 3400 Yen, and at about 300 Yen per volume, I can get 11 manga volumes :D

One thing that I definitely am going to buy is the Chitose Etc. volumes. Currently we are using the Chinese raws and its LQ/MQ.

Fear teh rant. I am sleep deprived and am going to go to bed now. Time to go bribe Jeni to finish up Chitose Etc. translation...

Stuff You Might Want To Know...or Not?

Seiyuu-ka! makes me want to rip my hair out in frustration.

Seiyuu-ka! ch12:

The entire thing is translated, but the cleaning is killing me! I spend almost 15 minutes on a page, trying to clone/redraw everything.

I'm about 1/4 through the chapter, and I'm aiming to have it up by Thursday.

Getting Manga First:

Please remember you will always get manga first from the scanlator's site, because manga hosting sites take a while to approve of your chapter, and put it on.

Watermarks:

Also, some people might have noticed, yes, the evil WATERMARKS on Chitose Etc. ch1. That's unfortunate, but we don't want to take chances. I only watermarked 2-3 pages though.

For our next release, there will still be 1-3 watermarks spread out on various pages. They shouldn't take up much room, so I don't think they'll cause much trouble (unless you happen to be trying to steal our scans)

Other language scans:

If there is anyone out there who wants to translate our scans to a different language, feel free to do so without asking, but please credit us.

The only other member of Mochi Cake Scans:

Is called Jeni, and she is a very busy person so please appreciate her. She has a huge piano exam coming up, and this week is very hectic for her, however, she is still helping us translate Seiyuu-ka! (after a lot of bribing with USUK goods >_>")

Please say thank you in the Release Comments page Cbox :)

Conclusion:

You may have noticed that I tend to rant on and on and on. When I do this, feel free to ignore me. I like typing, y'see ^_^ And I wanted to test the "read more" function, but its messed up and I keep getting double "Read more"'s.

Thank you :)

Chitose Etc. Chapter 1

Download links for Chitose Etc. Chapter 1 are here :) Please enjoy. Apologies for MQ scans.

Chitose Etc: Mediafire || Megaupload || 4Shared

We will be releasing from Chapter 5 from now on to not crash with Starry Heavens.

//edit//

I lied. We'll keep on releasing for ch2 and on

=D Reopening!

I've been a bit busy lately, so I haven't got much done...and then, just after I finished Chitose Etc, I realized SH has already released ch1 and 2 ;_;

*cries*

But that's okay! We'll work on the later chapters :D

And here I present to you...Chitose Etc. ch1!!! ...in the next post xD
