And now for something that I should’ve done a long time ago. 🙂
It has come to my attention that for quite some time now, SunfishScans has no longer been the one-man scanlation group that it started as.
You probably noticed that it’s no longer just me on the credits page that comes after every chapter:
You guys still read that page… right?
It’s been roughly two and a half years since Azusa first started helping out with translating this wonderfully awesome series, and she not only did a great job at it, she selflessly gave me complete creative freedom with her translations so I could keep that authentic SunfishScans flavor that has been a part of this series since Volume 5.
That’s a pretty long time to collaborate with someone. So long in fact, that I am no longer going to claim that SunfishScans is a one-man scanlation group. I consider Azusa to be a major contributor to translating this awesome series just as much as I have at this point.
Which is why, as of this moment, I am officially making Azusa an honorary member of SunfishScans. You literally earned it! 😉
Now, “How does this affect the way I’ll be helping out with Mitsudomoe?” you may ask.
It absolutely doesn’t! 😛
This group doesn’t have any perks or bragging rights to speak of aside from being the only group in existence right now that is interested in actually finishing Mitsudomoe. That’s pretty much it.
Not much of an improvement I know, but I sincerely hope that you will stick around to see that day when we finally reach that last chapter and eventually move on to bigger and better things.
Once again, from the bottom of all our hearts, thank you for everything that you’ve done for me and all Mitsudomoe fans around the world. Working on this series never would have been the same without you.
Welcome to the team. 🙂
Sunfish Scans 
Thanks a lot for the shout out. Of course, I’m just happy to be of help; anything to support my favorite series.
Since we’re on the topic, I had to stop for a little while because of work, but before I did I had made quite a dent in the remaining volumes. I think I got as far as the end of volume 16, though I’ll have to go over them again to make sure they’re up to the right quality. You probably won’t need to have that much right away, but I can give it to you as soon as it’s ready if you’d prefer.

No worries, it’s perfectly understandable! (I’m on hiatus myself 😛 ) Real life should always come first, after all. 🙂
Unless they actually put enough bread on the table, hobbies should stay just that — hobbies. 😉
> I think I got as far as the end of volume 16
Goodness gracious, you’re amazing as ever.
At this rate we’ll hopefully blaze through everything while still maintaining the quality of our releases.
Looking forward to working on those chapters with you! 🙂
> I can give it to you as soon as it’s ready if you’d prefer
As much as I’d love to see your work right away, I see no reason to rush. 🙂
I’ve still got my hands full with Volumes 9 and 10, after all. 😉
Please take all the time you need to give it as much polish and love as it deserves. 🙂

Interesting choice of imagery… Miyamoto is in Azusa’s profile picture, so is this a secret cry for help?

Ahaha… Not at all! 😛 I just happened to look at my Mitsudomoe collection and said “Hmm… That would make a great featured image.”
I feel that Miyahara’s facial expression really captures how much I appreciate all of Azusa’s hard work over the years.

Hi… Sorry for being as late as ever, work’s been a bitch, but at least college is no longer… an issue. Just wanted to say thank you for so much Mitsudomoe goodness, and congrats on getting a “new” member… This site is still on my bookmarks, and it’s staying there! Thx…

Thank you very much as well! We’ve no doubt lost a few of our audience members over the years due to all my constant delays.
It’s always nice to read comments from fellow Mitsudomoe fans around the world. 😉
Here’s to many more years of MItsudomoe with you guys! 🙂
