Yuru Yuru Chapter 23

Moving right along with Yuru Yuru. Incidentally, I've been authorized by the editor to kick her to get the next chapter. Just so you guys understand the sacrifices scanlators go through for you.

Meanwhile, a few questions for those who care:
1) Should this group get on Facebook?
2) Do you care if the archive is a zip or a rar file (or I could got with 7z...)?
3) Currently, I archive chapter files without a folder to contain them. Does it matter to anyone? Should I include the folder in the archive file?

In other news, I got 0 response in my search for Collapse of the World Chinese translator. That manhua is closer to being dropped than it has ever been.

Yuru Yuru Chapter 22

Oh man, it's been so long since I released anything, that I totally forgot how to do it. But yeah, here's the next chapter of Yuru Yuru. I almost released ch23 by mistake, but you'll have to wait for it a bit longer. For now, it's only ch22. I think we should be back on track in terms of editing now. The translations are through ch29 IIRC, so we're getting there. Slowly.

Of course, some things have changed since our last release... Like Manga Updates users can't find scanlator web sites anymore. But since most leechers will use online readers anyway, not a whole lot of impact to the overall community. It'll just make me feel like I'm scanlating in a vacuum, I'll get demotivated and quit. Yep.

Oh, another thing. We have this old project we never quite dropped, a Chinese manhua called Collapse of the World As We Know It. Any Chinese translator who wants to lend a hand with it? You can check it out here. The original uses simplified characters AFAIK If no one volunteers, I guess it'll be dropped forever. As much as I am a completion freak, I'm not going to learn Chinese just for this (although I do want to learn it eventually... but that "eventually" has lasted for a few years now since Japanese is quite enough of a challenge, thank you very much).

Anyway, here's the current release link for the few hardy souls who have this blog bookmarked, RSSed, or googled.
