Welcome to Ochibichan Scanlation! This site provides information about OS's projects and latest news. Please feel free to drop by the forums or IRC channel!
You can even drop by our blog to check out our random babbles!

No shit, we’re alive? Well what do you know, guess we are. And why have we sooooo suddenly come back from the dead? Same reason as last year on the 31st of August:

Ochibichan’s Anniversary! This year is our 6th year. It’s been long going, but we’re still here, slaving away. How much longer, who knows? Hahahaha.

Thank you to you readers who have supported us. Support is what keeps us going, and as much as we grumble how thankless this job is, we are doing it for you guys.

To keep us grumblefree, any thank yous for the staff who spend hours of their free time for you readers I’m sure would be much loved and appreciated. We do read them you know, we just don’t say ;D

I’d like to do my own thanks to all the staff for their hard work, and also for putting up with me. I’m a lousy and lazy admin, which sucks for them. As much as I’d like to change, I doubt it’s going happen, so they’re stuck unfortunately. So a massive thank you from me to everyone. You guys are super, and I think it’d be hard to find a better group of people.

Now onto what you’ve probably skipped this post to: the releases! We’ve got our traditional five days of goodness. Chapters stay 3 days on irc, then it’s links up… hopefully.

Day one (31st August)
Dengeki Daisy 34 and 35 – Hmmm.
Hanada 7 – Aw, happy endings. The main story is finished. Just the sidestory left!
Kanojo ga Tonda hi extra – The end! Hope you’ve enjoyed it (is that the right word?). Thank you to Angelintheice, Cheezy, Da-manta-ray, Naraitai, nibynoga and Polar Bear, for all their hard work on this title. Extra kudos to niby for her credit pages. With the end of one, we can finally start moving on to newer series!

Day two (1st September)
Dengeki Daisy 36 – More! \o/
Gakkou no Ojikan 38 – Ahh, more Riku and Makki! <3
Loose Leaf 2 – Look at that, she’s not as shy~
Love! Love! Love! 6 – Oh woah, last release was last anni?

Day three (2nd September)
Dengeki Daisy 37 – Smoking does not make you look any more mature.
Gakkou no Ojikan 39 – Feel good shoujo!
Pink no Indenshi 6 – This series is the most disturbing shoujo I’ve ever come across.

Day four and five (3rd and 4th September)
Uh, had a huge spider encounter under my desk so I took time out. Feet near spider? No way.
Dengeki Daisy 38 and 39 – That finishes volume 8! Hope you enjoyed it. We will be doing volume 9, however, whether we’ll carry on to volume 10 is to be decided.
Genyou no Meizu 1 – New series, yay~ Spirits and supernatural stuff.
Kaiyorihito Kaiyorishiki 11 – Only one more chapter left! Do hope you guys are prepared for cliffhanger ending, because this series was unfortunately cancelled due to accusations of plagiarism against Kazuaki… Yeah… Hope you knew that already.
Love! Love! Love! 7 and 8 – More typical shoujo love.

ETA: Day 5 is the last day! Hope you enjoy the releases.

EDIT ON IMPORTANT: Forum is no longer spammed out. Procyon is currently in the process of tinkering with a few things behind the scenes and registration may be at times disabled temporarily. It may also take a little time logging in. Unfortunately, members with 0 posts were also purged, sorry! Projects and download links are still visible whether you have an account or not.

IMPORTANT: The forum is now spammed out. After 30 mins deleting spam, I gave up. DO NOT click any links except the download links. And if you’re 18+ then you can snoop around and read what sort of things they’re offering in our forum. Most likely I’ll decide to create a new forum in the next couple of days.

Oooh 4am. Gotta go to bed before mother finds me and murders me. She will. Trust me.

Dengeki Daisy c33 and Kaiyori c9v2 and 10.

Late release due to exams and celebrating end of exam parties! Yay!

Going on vacation (spain mwahaha) for a week, and won’t be able to answer emails till next monday.

Enjoy!

Edit: SEEKING EDITORS
Edit 2: HISTORIC DAY PEOPLE! MARK YOUR CALENDERS. Our BL division has also released today! Echochi, if you don’t know. Go read the oneshot. I promise it’s super short.

Anyone watch Eurovision? …Jedward? JEDWARD? Nothing against Ireland or the song, but Jedward… And omg, UK actually got 100 points? Well I never. Kudos to Blue; they were okay, not the best. Winners were good, but I liked Denmark’s a lot. Reminds me of another song though, which I can’t place.

Aaanyway, here are the releases:
Dengeki Daisy chapter 32 – Mostly talk. Volume 7 so far has been pretty slow plotwise, but just wait for the next chapters! Literally kaboom! And Kaoruko-chan’s so cute. Reminds me of my friend’s pet. Her dog’s so fat and small, it waddles! xD
Gakkou no Ojikan chapter 36 and 37 – Welcoming Lilea, the new editor for the series! Already doing and awesome job with these two chapters. Well, things are heating up between Makki and Riku. And of course, that evil girl who I can’t remember the name of, is still getting in the way.

We’re still recruiting crosscheckers! But we have been successful, so please also welcome Mafro to the team!

Also recruiting Editors/Cleaners for these series: Amahara Mahou Kottouten, Senyuu Banrai Rakuan, Ozone, R18, Zig+Zag. We also have hidden upcoming series too, but they won’t be revealed until we get some of these ones done. More information in the forum.

Also seeking either a chinese or japanese translator for Watashi no Megane-kun and Manabiya Sannin Kichisa.

Download links for all series should have at least one mirror working. If not, please report it in some way, either by commenting or whatever. I’ll also put up whole volume downloads soon since I always find it a drag having to download each chapter seperately.

Lastly, enjoy the releases!

So we have Dengeki Daisy chapter 31, Gakkou no Ojikan chapter 35, Loose Leaf chapter 1 and Manabiya Sannin Kichisa chapter 4!

And yeeees, I knooow! Half the links don’t damn work or aren’t up yet, and I will get round to reupping them. If you want to upload the odd hundred chapters for me instead, I can draw up a list for you ;D But yeah, they’ll be done. I wonder if anyone would be interested in volume download links instead of chapters?

Oh and…
Recruiting crosscheckers/jp proofreaders!!!

Seriously, I think all the editors are just cleaning because none of the scripts are ready. Some proficiency in the japanese language is needed. You’ll just be checking translations for accuracy and changing it. That’s all! That’s all you have to do! It’s not hard (not that I have any experience) so please drop an email. Please.

That’s it! Enjoy the releases.

Hurray, release! This was supposed to be a release on my birthday, but I had too much fun these past days to bother. Sorry! (guilty conscience – cleared.)

Anyway: Dengeki Daisy chapter 30 and Kanojo ga tonda hi chapter 4. More DD very soon, so please be patient with us. And kanojo ga tonda hi only has an extra left!

I’m currently in the very slow progress of updating all the links to replace the direct links that are down. Sorry for any inconvenience!

Recruiting: a crosschecker or two would be wonderful! Must be proficient in japanese. You’ll be checking scripts for accuracy, that’s all.

Finally, a thought and moment to all those affected by the recent natural disaster.

Happy Chinese New Year! Hope the year of the rabbit brings you lots of prosperity and etc! I’ll also take this chance to wish a belated happy birthday to Midori and Lamune, hope you had a blasting fun birthday and you get twice the amount of money

The releases for the occasion(s) are Hanada chapter 6 and a new project joint with Bliss, Tsumi to Bachi chapter 1. Not much to say since I’m in post-hungover phase.  Just read and enjoy.

Ah, and the new slave house Echochi has released their first release.  The group is the fujoshi side of OS and will be dealing with shounen-ai (yaoi maybe?) goodness, so potential slaves and interested buyers quickly head over there to bask in the goodness.

Happy whatever to you all!
