I've come up with a schedule!

Yes, for once in my life - I've made a schedule and plan to stick to it. Some of you may not be pleased....but understand this will make things easier on me and my real life issues.

• FIVE - Since we only have 3 volumes left, I plan on doing a volume a month release. So, starting soon, we will release an entire volume on the very last day of each month. Since the holidays are fast approaching, the rest of volume 13 will be sporadic. Once 13 is finished, we will do the volume releases. 
• Haigakura - This being my baby, I want to spend more time on it and make the quality "better" (meaning not rushing translations and edits...) However, this series is not complete yet, and we don't get any donations  so all of these purchases come out of my pocket. SO that being said, I will release a chapter on the first of every month. So, 12/1/14 will be our next release.
• Gekijou Komori Uta - *sigh* This series has disappointed me. Alas, say goodbye. I'm sure someone like Chibi Manga will pick it up.
• Jaguri - Well, we haven't even had a release of this yet, now have we? Well wait that's a lie...we did WAAAAAAAY back in the day. Our new releases will start once a month with FIVE, at the end of the month. As long as things are edited and whatnot on time, there may be  a release the end of this month. Not sure yet...
• Mune ga Naru noha Kiminosei - This is another *sigh* for me. I picked it up because Chibi Manga was taking forever, but honestly I don't have the time for it. So, CoyoMoose will be saying goodbye to this series as well.

Now - I had been contacted last month about bringing Urushima Ryuuguu Emaki either back or scanning the raws for another group. With all these series I didn't think I'd have the time - however now that two of them are gone, I may bring URE back sooner than planned. That is, if the other group wants to make it a joint or not.

So I've done this once before, but I figured it's time for a quick "update" on Yukiko's (my) life:
I work in the retail/service industry - specifically PetSmart's Pets Hotel (and on the main floor where all the shopping happens.) I love my job, and would hate to leave it. However I make $8.88 an hour and have 23-28 hour work weeks. Want to know my last paycheck? $170...YEAH. A "good" paycheck for me is about $240 - if I'm lucky.

My shifts are all night shifts, 1-9pm or 12-8pm or 5-9pm....Five days a week. I usually get Tuesday and Sunday off but that varies. I live 30 minutes from my job and go through a $40 tank of gas a week. Awesome, right? Oh yeah and my car is falling apart, so let's say I spend $50 a month on repairs for the bastard. Ah and then there's my $1500 rent that's due the 7th of each month + my $93 car insurance that's due the 18th of each month.

That reminds me, I'm going to fail the emissions test that needs to be done by the 29th of this month.

Now we need to talk about food. Do I have a kitchen to cook in? Nope, so everything is microwavable or ordered pizza. Lord, I'm so sick of pizza...and I'm pretty sure my intestines are as well.

My dog needs his shots + to get neutered. Same with my kitten. I'm not even going to go in to the shit I need to buy for my dragons...Per month I probably spend about $70 on all of them (cat, dog, fish, and dragons.)

So here's where manga comes in. On my two days off, I will normally scan, translate, and edit about 5-10 pages depending on what series I'm working on. FIVE is going swiftly because A) it's easy to translate and B) I have two people who edit for this series alone.

On those days, I also need to find time to clean and spend time with my fiancee (he and I barely spend time together unless we're sleeping or passing each other on our ways to/from work.)

I'll continue bitching later...
