#deemo sakura note

My translation of Episode 3.1 is now up on mangadex. Sorry it took a while... but I had personal things going on, and had no motivation to do pretty much everything last month.

special thanks to @seidooreiki for the cleaning and redrawing help, and to Beam, who provided me the raws.

The first part of chapter 1 of -Sakura Note- is now available on Mangadex... and thank you again to @seidooreiki​ for doing the cleaning and redrawing for me.

Anyway.

This unfortunately may be the last manga chapter of Deemo -Sakura Note- that I post publicly on account of the mangareader.to website. 

As stated before, I do not take particular issue with my manga translations ending up on aggregate websites that aren’t mangadex, but in this case, not only did they remove my credits page, they also went and stuck their watermark on top of a number of pages that I had cleaned... which crosses some extremely hard lines for me. 

Although I have mentioned that if someone stole my Hakuoki translations, I would make my translations very difficult to access (i.e.: would likely require the answering some very specific Bronze Age comic book trivia questions though it’d still remain free), I simply do not have the same attachments to Deemo to care to do the same for the manga. 

So, while I will continue to translate Sakura Note because I myself want the series translated into English so that I can read it without problems lest someone else wants to pick it up, if I see some aggregate website post this chapter and remove my credits pages again, I will not be updating another chapter onto Mangadex and will instead be uploading it to mega, with the link for the chapter being made solely through both Patren and ko-fi once I get to translating whatever the next chapter is (I plan on just having one linked folder - where said link does not change, and uploading all future translations into it... should it come to that). 

The only exceptions to this will be for:

Other translators who intend to translate Deemo -Sakura Note- from English into another language (however I will require evidence that you have an interest in translating Deemo, have translated in the past, and will expect to see some chapters of -Prelude- translated if I have not conversed with you before given that -Prelude- comes before -Sakura Note-)

Anyone who has gotten me raws

People who either currently assist or have assisted me with cleaning/redrawing (though I will say that I’m not looking for help from anyone else)

Certain tumblr users I recognize (dm me? this is mostly for people helped me with something before, people who have donated, and the others that like my translations who happen to have an interest in Deemo as I sorta do pay some attention to my activity feed)

....my recent covid shot must have really affected me because i legitimately spent about 10 minutes debating if I should try and translate the movie as I have a copy with hardcoded Chinese and Japanese subs. also thought about just having it machine translated it since I’ve been able to extract hardcoded subs... though the process is a genuine pain. 

anyway! 

didn’t mention it last week, but the chapter 2.1 translation of sakura note is now available on mangadex.
