TAIHEN News!! 「タイヘンニュース！！」 Ep 24 – Project Thieves

As much as it pains me, some upstart group has run off with one of our projects recently and that is “Urasai”. Although it was not listed as dropped and help notices were posted on previous releases, the ass hat who ran off with the project simply claimed it without even considering to contact us first, he assumed it was dropped because of some random message he read on the defunct Batoto site. Rather than helping us continue with the project he just sort of claimed it for his group just because it had a ghost in it and he was planning about it for a long time. I think we got to it FIRST way before he did! It’s just vexing that newer groups are so self-serving. Truly the spirit of older scan groups is dead. AFS may just be a relic of the past, one of those older ones that survived the purge of 2010. Staff had come and gone and projects get left behind without people working on them that is why some projects can’t move along. Although releases may be slow, AFS DOES NOT FORGET PROJECTS! We will finish our lineup even if we have to work on them at a snail’s pace. If any of you out there are interested in one of our projects and want to help move it along, DON’T RUN OFF WITH THEM! Help us instead, that way we can work on them a lot faster.

Project Jojo is also one of the downer projects, people had already posted the official release of the manga on most Chinese run manga reader sites and releasing our version feels kind of off-putting. Although Athena13 had worked hard on them. If anybody wants to help us put out our version of it we are in need of a competent PROOFREADER, TYPESETTER, and a CLEANER/RE-DRAWER for it. You can send us an application message at the ‘Join us’ link on the menu if you’re interested.
