[Marked-two] Wanna Have A Night Battle?

For some reason, the artist decided to change his pen name from Maa-kun to Hideo (which saddens me, because the old name made me think of this Maa-kun). What's even more surprising is the fact that this doujin isn't about 2hus being gang raped, but instead, it's a rather sweet Shimakaze book.

Shimakaze butts in (quite literally) while the Admiral tries to do some paperwork.
Spoiler alert: he doesn't get much work done.

Looking back and looking ahead...

Translation-wise, 2013 has been a busy year. Compared to 2012, during which I had less than 40 releases, that number in 2013 was close to 130 (only counting the two Sandwich sets as two releases). Looking back, I think this has been my most productive year ever--much thanks to all the people whom I've worked with.

However, for the same reason, it's been a fun year. For well over five years, I've been doing this because I enjoy translating. I really don't understand some other (mainly anime) groups where everyone act like entitled tsunderes who spend their free time doing something they hate. I can only assume it's an act, and ISHYGDDT.

2013 was also the year I got back into anime again after a very long break, as you can tell from the graph below (from Anime DB):

Since I've started doing a lot more doujins, many of the shows I pick up are for practical reasons rather than out of interest. Fortunately, unlike some people, I watch anime because I enjoy it, and I like pretty much all genres and shows, save perhaps ecchi--though ecchi shows tend to get a lot of doujins, so like a modern-day Jesus, I endure.

In 2014, I have some IRL stuff coming up that will most likely take up a lot of my free time, but that's still a few months away. Whatever happens, I'll probably still be here by this time next year too, writing up another release post and/or rant.

All that's left to say is: let's

and leave it in and just link to something like this /minirant)

in 2014 as well, and

Happy New Year!
