Welcome to Ochibichan Scanlation! This site provides information about OS's projects and latest news. Please feel free to drop by the forums or IRC channel!
You can even drop by our blog to check out our random babbles!

So you might have noticed a lack of releases this past month. Well, I’m happy and proud to say…

Happy Fifth Anniversary to Ochibichan-scan!

Yes, OS has been alive and kicking for five years. Makes me giddish to think we’ve lasted and survived this long. Hopefully there’ll be more to come!

Of course, OS wouldn’t be here without all the family, to which a big thank you and a lot of love is owed to: Angelintheice, Cheezy, Da-manta-ray, Doedoebird, Elcrane, K3iden16, Kae, Kuinni, Laila, Lamune, Madhatter, Midori, Mioka92, Nibynoga, Pepper, Perpiscacity, Pigasus, Polar Bear, Procyon, Qm_1993, Rainedropz, Riesz, Rizelchama, Sunako, Tea-theory, Untaintedsin, Winternite, and Wistariafever!

An extra massive thank you to everyone who helped in the anniversary preperations. Honestly, these releases wouldn’t have been possible without you all~ (:

A last thanks to joint-partners for coping with us, and to you readers too, whiners and supporters alike!

Unfortunately during our month absence, we missed a few birthdays along the way (it’s occuring more often I swear). So a big Happy Belated Birthday to Doedoebird, Laila and Wistariafever!

Still looking for more crosscheckers and editors. Projects that are needing editors are Love! Love! Love!, R-18, Yuki no Kuni Kara, Loose Leaf, and Ozone.

Aaaand finally~ the moment you’ve all been waiting for (that is if you even waited in the first place)… celebrating our fifth anniversary, we bring you 5 days of releases! Enjoy~!

Day One (31st August):
Dengeki Daisy chapter 25 – My goodness, some of you out there really like stirring up rumours, don’t you. There have been a fair few asking if DD has been dropped or not. Does this answer your question now?
Gakkou no Ojikan chapter 31 – Things are getting uncomfortable, as they always do.
Hanada chapter 4 – Nakahara Aya! And an interesting play of Snow white. Plus, it looks like someone’s starting to realise their own feelings!

Day Two (1st September):
It’s not just for OS today, but another celebration for a special member who’s been around through all five years! Happy Birthday to Pepper! <3
Gakkou no Ojikan chapter 32 – Ahh, more conflict, but looks like things are heating up!
Gokujou no Yoru wo Ageru chapter 3 – A sweet story by Morita Fuji entailing getting lost in the forest and lots of blushing! (How does she keep her bun up like that?)
Love! Love! Love! chapter 4 – Another from Nakahara Aya! Cooking classes, dating rumours, real dates (or fake?), aprons and scooters. What more could you want.

Day Three (2nd September):
Had to crawl out of bed because I forgot to release ;__;
Kaiyorihito Kaiyorishiki chapter 8 – Aritsune and co are out investigating and Akira is out meeting a certain someone… (anyone notice our kazuaki art pimping? 8D Bwahaha, get her artbook <3)
Manabiya Sannin Kichisa chapter 2 – Oh, haven’t seen this in a while! (two years?)
Nanaco Robin chapter 4 – Yes, more Nakahara Aya <3
*crawls back to bed*

Happy Birthday Da-manta-ray! Oh wait, sorry, belated by… what… SIX DAYS? I blame summer.

Well, we hope we make it up to her and allow ourselves to be forgiven with these two releases, because she really is an amazing PR, and has gone through scripts from the firey pits of doom (coughayakashicough).

Ehm, so I hereby announce Love! Love! Love! chapter 3 and Gakkou no Ojikan chapter 30!

And before I end, another call for some editors… please! I don’t think the current ones can stay sane for much longer, and you wouldn’t want all our editors to go rabid would you. No you wouldn’t. Cheezy is still offering her editing crash course, too. Please make sure you’re motivated enough before you start though. Oh, another crosschecker would be nice… 8D

Ending this at 4:45am – Happy Belated Birthday Da-manta-ray! <3
PS. Sorry about your pocky box mio!

Wow, it’s been a while hasn’t it since our last update. Lots of reason to our lack of update as I personally have just started college, so it’s taking me a while to get used to the new hellish environment. Miimii too just finished her finals (if I’m not mistaken), so hopefully she’ll be the one to take charge of updating.

Like always, this is going to be a rather big update, so I’ll just state the releases first:
= Kanojo ga Tonda hi chapter3 – Quite some people have actually asked for updates on this series, and for once I was quite happy as this series is a worthy read. Onwards to Kaede’s arc!
= Kaiyorihito Kaiyorishiki chapter7 – As Starry Sky gets popular, so does Kazuaki-sensei’s works. For the good or bad, I’ve yet to know…
I wanted to add in chapters of Gakkou no Ojikan, but some errors came up. Maybe later next week?

Now that the releases are ‘officially’ announced, time for our own Ochibichan update section:
+ Staff Pruning: I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time and I’ve finally done it. OS is now in the middle of a revamp stage (again). If you noticed the staff page, you can see that a lot of staff have MIA status next to their names. I am not exaggerating the numbers. To all OS Family members who have MIA status next to your names, please contact us asap!
+ We need staff: So due to pruning staff, we now need Japanese AND/OR Chinese Translators and Editors AND/OR Cleaners more than ever. To anyone who is interested and can help, please drop us an application! I will not list out the titles that need help on, but with that long MIA list, you can imagine how many projects are involved. Oh, and among the pile is one of most popular projects (I know you know what it is). Ability and first come first serve basis.
+ NEWBIE EDITOR TRAINING: Yes, you read that right. Cheezy has volunteered to offer editing training to newbie editors. Please read here and here for info on how to ask Cheezy to be your slave master. Do take note that you will not be apart of the OS Family by joining this training, you will need to take the OS Editor Test and pass it to join.

Anyway, enjoy the releases! Will update again soon (:

Wow, another release in the SAME week? Don’t you guys wish we would do this more often? So do I. (Prepare for a rather long post)

Anyway, we’re celebrating our wonderful translator- Tea-Theory’s birthday today! I always threaten to rip his balls off if he attempts to do something to my dearest sister, but he’s actually a pretty cool guy- seriously, how many guys are willing to read yaoi for their girlfriend, play with stuffed toys and be a slave for said girlfriend’s sister? My sister got a weird but cool guy ;D

So what are we releasing? Why it’s the final chapter of Benkyou Shinasai! How would things end for Misora and Kaji? Big thanks to Angelintheice, Birdolina, Cheezy, Doedoebird, Kae, Liltigar, Naomi, Pepper, Qm_1993 and Winternite, for all their hard work on this series.  Especially to Naomi for editing the last few chapters in a short few weeks *hugs* What would I do without you?

With one series completed, we can now focus more on our other (unfortunately) neglected projects.  To prove this, we’re releasing the very long awaited chapter 2 of Love! Love! Love!.  I’m pretty sure not many remembers what happened in chapter 1, but hopefully we can release this series more often (MOAR EDITORS PLEASE.)

Now, for some serious business (I said this was going to be a long post).

Due to a recent report, we are now requesting ALL SITES (MangaFox, MangaTraders, etc) to remove our licensed titles’ releases off your websites.  We never really allowed licensed titles to be hosted to begin with, but due to this report, we would like all sites to oblige with our small request.  It would benefit said sites too some way or another.  The following titles are not to be hosted anymore: Lovely Complex, NG Life, Dengeki Daisy.  Admins/moderators of said sites are free to contact us through our group mail.  We don’t want to sound like some dictating group, but every little move might help lessen the tension and put some peace somewhere.

Guess that’s enough for this (super long) post.  Again, a big happy birthday Tea-Theory!

We’re releasing a chapter today, and there’s no reason for this release! It really has been a while since we last had a ‘no reason’-release, but with finals ending soon for some, hopefully we can get more editors and release more regularly.  Hopefully.

For today, we’re releasing an oneshot titled Unlucky Star from the series Gokujou no Yoru wo Ageru. I find this oneshot very adorable, so I hope you guys enjoy it too!

Now for the random stuff:
~ Still recruiting editors and crosscheckers; new editor test isn’t up yet, maybe sometime this weekend. No experience needed.
~ Check out this post done by Cheezy about how/what scanlation is like in OS. Especially leechers who are on the verge of dying because we release so damn slow.  Hope that saves you guys.

Enjoy the release!

I’m two days late, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY WINTERNITE! One of our awesome proofreaders who has a knack for otome games (x

Like stated in the previous post, today we’re releasing Hanada chapter 3. Hanada has gotten a rival in love! And drama ensues when she gets kidnapped (no thanks to Watabe) by a prowling pervert!

We are still recruiting and in need of editors. No experience needed, you just need to be good at what you do. Due to certain events, we’re also going to update the editor test again, so for those who are already doing the test, please be sure to send them in before the new test gets updated.

Forum is also under some weird error (can’t post or view topics) for the time being, hopefully Procyon can get it fixed soon.

Once again, happy birthday Winty!
PS. Hope you love the insert <3 We're pimping more Kazuaki!

EDIT: Sad. We always forget our dear Cheezy’s name oTL Crosschecker: Cheezy-love ;A;
