We’re all in this together and I know i’m grateful for every little bit of help we get. Your activity on facebook is most appreciated, we’ve gotten some support from a few facebook pages already and having more pages draw attention to the project will be great. Thank you for your outreach work so far!

As Yosho had mentioned (and as seen on our Facebook/Twitter), our own Who has given us a shoutout on his Youtube channel!

Youtube Vids hadn’t been something I had thought about in terms of spreading the word until he said so. And he’s already gotten himself a few extra subs out of it! kiyonesmile1

Lastly, our next big milestone has come and gone practically overnight! We’re now over 25% of the way through Novel 1! The work has been numbingly stressful at times but we’re seeing great things in the midst of our progress and really can’t wait to present our full findings. There’s still a ton of work to be done and if you’re reading this and able to lend a hand – we’d love to hear from you! There are only so many of us chipping away right now, if we want to get these out sooner we’ll need more fans helping us unearth what’s in the novels and whatever else lies beyond! And for everyone who has spread the word or deep in the mines covered in OCR dirt and grime – thank you so much.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated – neither Crazed (speaking in terms of his Doujin work), Shadow, Wisper or I had touched the software we’re currently using for translation work until we dove head first into it for the sake of getting stuff done. If you’re willing to learn the ins and outs we could get you up and running after some time. Otherwise, just spreading the word and making sure Tenchi fans see is a huge help.

Today I took a bit of a break from working on OCR and JP-> ENG translating to toy around with getting a workflow set up for another aspect we’ll have to get around to eventually.

A few imperfections and remaining color corrections aside, I should be able to get much clearer scans of the covers available. The color insert pictures and the B&W pictures on the pages may be a bit trickier since all I have is a flatbed and I don’t want to risk harming the books or destructively scanning by cutting the spine out of the book so every page becomes its own looseleaf.
