Nice idea, Yui…

Finally, a new chapter! Unfortunately the only raws I could find were pretty atrocious (especially color pages). I fixed them up somewhat, but in the end crappy raws are still crappy. When/if decent quality raws show up, I will release a v2.
By the way, they changed the publication schedule, so the 6-page chapter (that was supposed to be chapter 9) came out in Carat 2009-09 instead of 2009-08 and it’s going to be chapter 10.

I was considering leaving “nekomimi” untranslated. I mean, how many moe manga readers don’t know what “nekomimi” is anyway?
Necrophantasia & Co.: What’s with the sloppy work? Fatigue kicked in after only 2 chapters? I’m not going to list your mistakes anymore, reply in the comments if you’re interested.

Necrophantasia, if you’re reading this, ????? is not meant to be translated literally, it’s a part of the expression ?????? (“speak of the devil”), also “plain past + ??” is not quite the same as “?-form + ??”… The rest is probably your editor’s fault 😉
And, of course, “Fried Oysters” are simply priceless…
Volume 2 begins…

Well, since fresh raws are still nowhere to be found, have some old stuff.

Well, the gap is now closed… There was a couple more end-of-volume pages (drawn by other mangaka to congratulate Kakifly) which I didn’t do (mostly because I didn’t like their style too much), but I’d do them for the sake of completeness if I ever end up doing the rest of volume 2. As for whether I’d do that… I’m hoping that fresh raws will show up any day now and new stuff will definitely take priority. I guess I’ll also take the time to read volume 2 released by the other group (I’ve only read their chapter 1 so far) and decide whether it’s worth spending time re-doing it or not… Stay tuned.
Update:
So I started reading the releases of the self-ascribed “high quality” group. I was seriously hoping that I won’t need to re-do what they already did, but it’s starting to look like I’m going to have to…
I mean… “Fried Oysters”?! Fried Babelfish is what it is. Facepalm. (For those who didn’t get the joke, these folks translated the name of the mangaka on the title page. Incorrectly. Up to chapter 9. Probably realized it later but never bothered to do a v2). Silly stuff aside, there appears to be enough basic translation mistakes throughout to warrant a second pass.
I will be releasing my version one chapter at a time, until I get to ch.13 at which point I will do the covers etc and release everything as a volume. Just so there’s no surprises, I’ll be using volume raws as opposed to magazine raws, so no color pages beyond chapter 1. As I stated previously, I’m not redrawing SFX that are not in bubbles(to preserve the original artwork), so if you prefer your SFX fully redrawn, you can stick with what’s been released by the other group. And, of course, re-doing previously released stuff will be low in priority (new chapters and my other group’s projects come first), so don’t expect speedy releases.
They should’ve used this for ep.13 of the anime…

There’s also a v2 for chapter 5 (corrected 1 typo, better late than never).
I figured the other group would finish the 2 chapters left in volume 2 while I am doing the 8 chapters of volume 3 or shortly afterwards. Guess not… Well, we can’t have untranslated chapters left in the middle, now, can we?
