One for the archive.

So I went digging in my archives again and found another oddity. This time it's a 14 page lrough draft (?) of a Final Fantasy 9 doujinshi. Going by my notes I saved this back in 2006 from Yachiko. I'm unsure if it is still on the site but according to my records this is the source. It's also entirely possible this has since been published and I don't have it. I put it up on a DDL for archival ppurposes.

It's quite nicely done, if you're a Final Fantasy 9 fan you should give it a look.

 But don't take my word for it! See the images below!

Release #115 - Oh My Goddess! [Translation]

[Strange Scans] is as always, proud to present - with the assistance of Desudesu. A Oh My Goddess! doujinshi - 'Costume Paradise Trial 02'! I couldn't find great raws (It's from 1999) so I had to work with what was available. According to the mugimugi entry - the waitress uniform she's wearing is from the pub 'Gatten' in Nagoya. I couldn't find any images of that unfortunately.
 

In this issue Skuld discovers schlicking and gets drunk.

I found this in the archives yesterday, I'm not sure when I made it. Probably a year or two ago. How many can you name? (Click for large)

In other news

I've had a lot of business to take care of lately so things have been a bit slower than I had planned. However I'm in the clear for a bit so I got around to changing some things I've been meaning to for a while.

 

All releases including ones posted prior to the DDL server now have a DDL link alongside the usual Mediafire/E-Hentai combo. So even in the event of Megaupload's demise being replicated there will still be links live.

Due to some confusion on what has and hasn't been translated. I took the time to go back through and make sure all translated scans link to the translation post and vice versa. (In case anyone wants to confirm the translation with the raw or something)

 

Tags now show in the sidebar down the right hand side, hopefully this will be usefull for sifting through the releases on here. I'll go back and make sure all of the tags are accurate and add some more in the next day or so.

Formatting for the text only page has been fixed a bunch and looks a lot less shitty.

If you have any suggestions, questions or comments with regards to my work leave a comment or send me an email about it! strangescans[at]gmail.com

Release #114 - Black Lagoon [Translation]

[Strange Scans] is proud to present - a Black Lagoon swimsuit book! Contrary to the image below it's actually in black and white, also it's only eight pages. I edited this one back in 2009-ish under another name. So this is retroactive release, but it's still legit. Fyi: I haven't uploaded it on E-Hentai - rather I've linked to the upload of the guy who comissioned the translation because really, it's his comission.

Also I fixed a spelling mistake, so this is like. The super deluxe edition.

Edit: It seems that there is a coloured version of this book released as part of The Book of Venom which is over here - E-Hentai Gallery. That would be the colouring Tex-Mex is thanking Iron Tiger for if I'm any guess. The following image is an example of said colouring. Note the slightly larger size due to less cropping.

 No text, awesome. It seems it's not as vibrant as the web version but whatever. The only difference is that now the Eda/Revy page now has roberta from another page, which is now a solo roberta page. (Which is hardly a bad thing) If by chance you just want the pages featured in the swimsuit book in colour I've uploaded those over here.

Release #113 - Claymore [Translation]

[Strange Scans] is proud to present, a Claymore doujinshi - 'More Book'! Todays release would not have been possible without the translation skills of Sahadou. In a departure from the last few comissions this one is straight Clare/Raki. They make a nice couple I think. Also this is by far the largest doujinshi I have ever comissioned, clocking in at a full 70 pages.

Trivia: Did you know that Norihiro Yagi's earlier work - Angel Densetsu had a 1996 OVA?

This hadn't been ripped/translated the last time I checked, but it seems it has since then (In August last year apparently 20/10/11). Ffffuck yeah! I found a copy over on BakaBT. You really should read the manga though, the OVA is more of a curiosity.

Alternately go thank Rising Sun for their work here.
