At long last, and after various struggles. The DDL server is now fully working!

This means all DDL links should be functioning again.

If you find a broken DDL link or (any other issue) please use the email on the sidebar or leave a comment so it can be fixed.

That is all!

Release #118 - [Dynamite Kit] Oroshi Ninniku, Atari 2 [Translation]

[Strange Scans] combs the archives to bring you another Dynamite Kit release!
This release was made possible by the Desudesu foundation.

It's another super short one (four pages.
Somebody talk Dynamite Kit into doing a full length doujinshi with these two!

 By the way this was taken from Neo-Queendom volume 8.

Release #118 - [Dynamite Kit] Oroshi Ninniku, Atari [Translation]

[Strange Scans] is back once more, working again with the great Desudesu.

This time with a super short (four page) story by the mysterious Dynamite Kit. 

 I really enjoy the art, it reminds me of store mascots somehow?

 

By the way this was taken from Neo-Queendom volume 7. 

Enjoy!

Release #117 - Tsuyomari Kishiou to Lovex Suru Hon [Translation]

Woah! [Strange Scans] is back again with another fantastic SHD release!

If muscular anime girls are your thing please continue.

 If not I have prepared a small consolation prize.

I would also like to announce what is as far as I know the first documented/translated 'backjob' or 'shoulder blade fuck'. We did it!

There are a few contributing artists to this one so I got
them done for the sake of completion.

SHD though, always quality. Perhaps I should get more of his stuff translated.

Adventures in anime

So I've been watching a lot of anime lately. 

An awful lot. A criminal amount. Perhaps even enough to kill a full grown horse if you wanted to be dramatic and hated horses. This all started when I realised a while ago that I hadn't actually watched an anime start to end for a fair while. I used to find time to watch anime - so what's changed? Well it's been a combination of being busy with other more important real life things and old hobbies (if you can call watching anime that) being pushed out of the way for new things - such as wasting time on the internet, which isn't a hobby but bear with me here.

(I will say at this point - that the internet, is a terrible, terrible time sink if you are not careful and that I do not regret quitting  some of the sites I was on to be more productive with actually getting things (no matter how trivial) done.)

So apart from this making me have a closer look at how regularly I should be taking breaks and other ergonomic issues I've been noticing a few trends.

Mainly that out of ten anime. Two will be pants shitingly good, six will be okay to tepid and two are so bad that I check my email and talk to people on steam so that I don't feel like I've totally wasted my time.

Seriously, some of the bottom of the barrel ones feel like they were down to the last 10,00Y on the animation budget and the staff sat around on their lunch break despairing and filling out job applications.

But I digress.

I've been enjoying finding small references, details and probable copyright infringement as I watch.
I'd like to note at this point that Blue Ray anime is fucking amazing and please, please, please for the love of all that is kawaii let there be more Blu Ray re-releases in the future. 

So without further delay lets flick through some of the things I've found - After the jump!

DDL problems

As you may have noticed the DDL links have died all at once.

Well the server I host on has changed it's configuration and I need to go through and manually redo all of the links.  Which is a pain in the arse but I'll get it done eventually.

Also yes, things have been quiet recently. I've been quite busy IRL, which seems to happen once or twice a year. Sorry about that! But I have other things to get done as well. 

Thank you for your patience.

Edit: They should all be fixed now!

Commission - Fuck That Hipster Shit (Original)

Comission time! 

This one is done by Stickymon 

(Don't forget to check out his other work too!)

I usually tend to comission characters from videogames, manga or anime but I've been reallly been taken by the character in these comics. Why is Eloise so adoreable? I have no idea but I could not resist continuing the story between her and Haylee.

Follow through after the jump for the full comission.

Also because I like disclaimers, this is both futa and NSFW.

Release #100 (Re-release) - 沙村広明 Sister Generator

I scanned in a Hiroaki Samura tankobon back in 2011 but there was a few technical issues with the release. Mainly in that it was fucking huge and I didn't have the time to re-jig it.
­
­­

So after, far - far too long I've gone back and squeezed it down to 190mb - which isn't too bad if you consider that instead of my usual standard of 1200x I went further to 1400x. I hope that you the reader, can appreciate the extra effort I went to to make sure that this release is archival quality.
­

I actually bought this back in 2010 at the suggestion of, Hox but it seems it's taken me until 2013 to get this released at a decent quality :V what the heck.

Enjoy!

Release #002 Part Two - [Translation] Final Fantasy IX

[StrangeScans] is at it again with an english release of a Final Fantasy IX doujinshi - 'Brilliance'!

This release was possible only with the help of the reknowned Desudesu, thanks again!

Can you beleieve how many FF9 doujinshi there is out there? Granted they're all from 2001 - 2003 but it's enough to keep me busy - anyway. Enjoy!

On a side note it looks like I'm going to be using Sendspace now that Mediafire has deleted me, if there are any issues with this let me know.

Release #099 Part Two - [Translation] Houkago Play

[Strange Scans] is as always, proud to present - a Houkago Play doujinshi, 'Afterschool Play'! This one was done with the help of none other than Rinruririn, thanks again comrade!
 ­

This is a short and sweet NSFW doujinshi, it may make more sense if you have read Houkago Play but, I think it can be read even without knowing the background.
(Here is the Raw)

Enjoy!

Release #009 Part Two - [Translation] Final Fantasy IX

[Strange Scans] goes back to 2011 and the ninth raw release to bring you 'Deep Forest'!
This would not have been possible without the translation skills of Rinruririn, thanks again!

In this doujinshi we explore the relationship between Dagger and Zidane. 

Also that is a really nice cover, very relaxing.

Enjoy!

The raw is over here.

Two years running and mediafire

I like to think that in some small way [Strange Scans] is chewing through the unimagineable backlog of untranslated and unscanned material that's out there - and while it's been a lot of work. It's been a lot of fun too. It turns out that as of today it's been two years worth! (of fun and work)
­

Thanks first and foremost to the circles in Japan who've put out the work which is being scanned and editied. Thank you reader for passing through wether you've been keeping an eye on things since the first post or you're stumbling through a year after this post has been made. (it happens!)

And of course thank you to the guys who've helped out or worked with [Strange Scans] the last two years.

Dou, Desudesu, [Deja Vu], [Mukys], [UMAD], Rinrurirun, Sahadou, the Voile team and all of the artists who've been comissioned along the way.

See you around!

­

Also the Mediafire account of [Strange Scans] has finally - after over two years and multiple infingement notices been closed for copyright violations (on doujinshi?) Unless there are any great suggestions of other file hosts (And I am open to that if there is demand) it looks like it's DDL and E/Ex-Hentai from here on it.

RIP Mediafire account - 30/07/2010 - 11/01/2013

Comission - Final Fantasy IX: Lani/Ruby

For the first comission of the year I went with none other than Ganassa. An amazingly high quality artist straight outta Hentai Foundry. I've been eyeing off comissioning Ganassa for a while now, the syle he has going on is really nice! (And that is of course how I pick artists)

What is the comission? Ruby/Lani. Of course.

NSFW

Clickity clack read more to see how it turned out!

Release #059 Part Two - [Translation] Final Fantasy IX

[Strange Scans] scores a trifecta with the completion of a Final Fantasy IX doujinshi trillogy! Published by the circle Sougetsu Kagekidan in 2009/2010 they explore the relationship between Mikoto and Kuja after the events of the game have transpired. The translation for this was done by UMAD, thanks guys!

I don't par-tic-ularly agree with this pairing, at all. But considering that it's been over a decade since Final Fantasy IX was released I'll take what I can get.

Part One - I want to be your kitten. 

Part Two - Maiden Prayer. (You are here)
Part Three - Fragrance of Olden Times.

Enjoy!

(Archive) junk*garden - The Incomplete (Final Fantasy VII) (Translation)

Back in 2008 a group called Deja Vu released a translation of a five part manga by junk*garden. The manga - known as 'The Incomplite" (Although I'm calling it the incomplete because we know what they meant) presented an alternate timeline of Final fantasy VII where Zack Fair was the main character instead of Cloud Strife.

Unfortunately it appears Deja Vu has well and truely gone under, the last release from them is from august 2008 and the website they're hosted on (mangaSOS) is dead as are their hosted downloads. It took about fifteen minutes of wading through dead links and russian websites websites to find a thai forum with a mediafire link of this. 

Well we're not taking that kind of shit around here! 

I've re-uploaded this on E-hentai and mediafire to get this interesting peice of work out there.

Enjoy!

Release #049 Part Two - [Translation] Final Fantasy IX

[Strange Scans] is quick off the mark in the year of the snake with a Final Fantasy IX doujinshi. (Previously seen all the way back in Release #049) The translation for this one was done by the ever high quality Rinruririn of the Little White Butterflies. (They do lots of really great stuff, give them a look!)

This one has only taken what... three months shy of two years from scan to translation? Also it was released in 2000 so technically I'm another ten years after the orginal release. 

Better late than never as the saying goes, enjoy!
