Shoreijuu gave me the Gemini of the Meteor Official Fanbook last year when we met in real life for the first time. I found these pages and we decided to translate them.
Already talked about our next main project. It'll be Yoruko and Working Animals, a 3-volume series about... well, working animals!
Look forward to it but for now enjoy these short stories.
Gemini of the Meteor - Special Chapter
Merry Christmas!
That's a wrap!
This story was such a joy to follow and work with. While it got heavy at times, the story flowed well and ended on a satisfying note.
Rebel and I think this series is live action material; I'm certainly looking forward to their casting of Snacks if it does happen!
I hope you all enjoy reading this as much as we did. Thank you again for being with us on this journey!
and there it is, the kiokuya!
I already have my next project in mind. It'll take at least a month before I can start releasing though.
for now, look forward to Hosomura chapter 13. We're nearing the end there too! :(
BTW, if you line up the kiokuya post titles for the first 4 chapters, you'll get a verse. I wrote each line to sum up the chapter released in that post.
The dwelling of memories,
Is it life or is it Death?
Stories told - pasts unlocked
Yet the shadow remains untouched.
I was supposed to wrap it up with another verse for volume two but I lost interest.

One more chapter to go. I'm trying to get this done asap. I've lost interest in this since volume 1 but I have to finish it! I must break the Manga Syndrome curse of unfinished titles!
The final chapter should be out next week. if not earlier.
ENJOY!
Chapter 12: Shabu-shabu for two cats
This series is so good. I don't want it to end but then again I don't want to get teary-eyed anymore.
2 more to go!
Side Comment:
When we started this I remember discussing how we would go about this series with Shoreijuu. When it came to SFXs, we weren't going to do it. it fact, chapter 4, which is the first chapter we scanlated of this series, didn't have translated SFXs. but then I thought about it some more and I decided that, in this series, SFXs are important especially when it comes to Snacks moving around as well as various SFXs in bubbles which would look bad if they were untranslated. So we decided to start translating those too. I guess, what I'm saying is: I REGRET MY DECISION! I HATE SFXs. That's all. Thank you very much.

Kiokuya | Chapter 07: Perspectives
As usual, read at your own risk. My Kiokuya releases are not proofed. This one specifically gave me headaches and I don't have time nor the energy to give it another look.
Reminder: I use "it" to refer to Kiokuya because we don't know who or what it is yet (yeah, right! ;) ) In French (my SL) they don't have a neutral pronoun so the text uses "he". In this chapter, a character said that Kiokuya might be a "she". But outside that discussion, I still use "it".

Kiokuya | Chapter 06: The Alteration
Personally, I'm liking these little stories of side characters more than the main plot of the entire series.
Next release will most likely be Kiokuya ch 7.
ENJOY!
Chapter 10: Bonito Cat Food with Mr. Azumi's Seasoning
It's been a long break. so many things has happened. Shoreijuu is even busier now so please join me in appreciating her putting time and effort in translating this series for us:
Thank you, Shoreijuu! ^^
By Takada Sanko
I rushed the typesetting a bit in this one. don't have a lot of time. Also, I switched to magazine raw, better quality.
ENJOY!

| Volume 2 Preview |
I got enough free time to translate this 5-page bonus. Honestly, I think it's better than the entire first volume.
ENJOY!
released with unproofed initial translation. I'm only releasing this chapter now because I'm sure I'll forget about this soon. I'm taking a break from scanlation. I will resume after a month or two.
There is a Bonus Story (a good one) at the end of Volume 1. I'll translate it after the break.
Also, NOTHIING IS DROPPED. JUST TAKING A BREAK.
It's been 2 months since the previous chapter! I'm sure you guys missed Snacks!
Notes:
I think in previous chapters we sort of alternated (unintentionally) between "Snack" and Snacks" as the cat's name. We settled on "Snacks."
You may notice I'm not very consistent with how I typeset the SFXs. Sometimes, I go all the way but most times, I just half-ass it! That's because I'm too lazy and it doesn't help that I have a slow PC that really gets on my nerves.
I also want to ramble about the font choices! It'd be great to fit different fonts to different situations. However, I prefer simplicity. I only change fonts when the font changes in the RAW. I try my best to match the look; it doesn't always work out. Sometimes, I go full minimalistic and use only ONE font. I trust that the expressiveness of the bubble types will do the trick!
In this chapter, I think I overdid it. I enjoyed working on it though; that's all that matters!
ENJOY!
next release should be Kiokuya chapter 3.
Chapter 07 DDL | Read Online
This manga makes me tear up with one eye and smile with the other! We're happy we picked it up! Chapter 7 is a short but a perfect conclusion to the first volume. one more to go!
ENJOY!
Chapter 04: DDL | Read Online
This is the conclusion to the chapter 3 story. Mahjong terminology was a pain to work on since I've never played the game before. I'm glad it's over! Also, full exposure, I got a little bit of help from chatgpt to speed things up. Especially now that my vacation is over and I'm back to work.
ENJOY!
Next release should be Hosomura-san chapter 07.
Chapter 03 DDL | Read Online
UPDATES:
So I'm back at work now and that means less time for scanlation unfortunately. But we're not stopping. Shoreijuu will keep translating Hosomura-san and she has plans for a second title after that, too.
I, however, can't finished Mokke and FMPA. I only have up til volume 3 of Mokke so until I acquire the rest, Mokke is on hold. but if there's a JP/ENG translator out there who wants to help, please email us. As for FMPA, I'm dropping that for good. I'm done with that!
There's one more title which I don't want to drop because there's only 1 volume left to completion which is Tenshi-chan to Akuma-kun. Please if you're an JP/ENG translator and interested in that, contact us.
Kansokusha Tamami is just filler-releases until I receive the new title I'm planning on translating during the next few months. I don't want to name it yet but it's only 2-volume series. it's short enough to be able to finish it. I'm sick of starting series and not being able to finish them!!! it's the Manga Syndrome curse!! That's why we're not picking up long series anymore!
Anyways, if someone's willing to help with Mokke or Tenshi-chan to Akuma-kun, here's our email: mangasyndrome09@gmail.com
Thank you and Enjoy the chapter now!
