A Bountiful Answer That Fits All Questions!

At long last, Madowanai Hoshi volume 2 ends with chapters 16, 17 and 18, which also includes a few pages of bonus content at the end of the volume. The third volume is set to be released later this month, but because of other projects we'll be doing, we probably won't get to it until late May or early June. Since we've been working on both Moyashimon and now this series since the end of last year, we do need to take a short break from Masayuki Ishikawa anyway, so it worked out pretty well time wise. Still, Madowanai Hoshi is nowhere near as difficult or frustrating as Moyashimon was, so it's more pleasant to work on from a scanlating point of view, and we're really enjoying the story as a whole.

In some unrelated news, as you may have already seen from our Twitter account, there are a couple of updates to two of our projects. First, LiLy by Mayo Ebisawa that had previously been announced to be on hiatus due to the author's maternity leave, was moved to the completed works section on Ura Sunday's website last week, finally confirming what we had suspected: it ultimately got axed. It's a shame since the series was just starting to get going at the end of volume 2, but I guess it just wasn't that popular. So we've moved the series to our completed projects page.

Second, Yuuki Kamatani announced last week on Twitter that they were drawing up the storyboard for the final chapter, but seeing as how every volume up to now has had 5 chapters, and we've just gone through 5 chapters to effectively complete what will be compiled in volume 4, it's safe to say that the series will end in another 5 chapters to complete the series at 5 volumes. So if it continues with the biweekly serialization, it'll end on June 6.

Next up, the start of Kamieko v04.
