Dropped Projects
We’ve posted about it on various places, and most people have figured it out already, but we are officially dropping the following series for the following reasons:
- Aku no Hana: not enough staff, losing interest
- Nana to Kaoru: losing interest, not enough time
- Koe no Katachi: not enough time, don’t want to risk legal action
- Ano Ko no Ie: no raws, losing interest
Fortunately, dropping all these series has given us enough time to really enjoy the work we’re doing on new series like Reiroukan, which has been on the backlog since September. It should also mean quicker releases of our other monthly series.
We’d like to thank everyone who supported our releases of the above series throughout the months or years we’ve dedicated to them! It was fun bringing those series to you while it lasted, but it’s time for us to move on to greener pastures.
Of course, anyone who would like to pick these series up is more than welcome to do so without asking our permission.
After your finished a few projects would you guys be willing to pick up shiharu genesis. There was another group doing it but they stopped after their translator went missing for over a year.
Sorry, we are not taking requests at this time.
I didn’t mean this time or right now. No one else is doing it so I don’t mind waiting a year.
Waah the 3 mangas I am reading dropped all at once
It’s so sad
Your hard work was appreciated
Ah I’m so sad you are dropping NtK. 🙁 Are the raws still obtainable somehwere? I might be able to convince another group to pick it up. Maybe…
Hi, I see you previously have picked up Stravanganza, the series I was requesting here. (You say it here: http://prettyanonymo.us/index.php/news-recruiting-and-more-updates/) So that’s good news,… but I was wondering if you are going to do it, since your post about it was made more than 6 months ago.

Thanks for pointing it out! We’re currently working with a new translator, who may be down to work on the series. Unfortunately due to the many issues we were having with ongoing series, leading to our dropping them, Stravaganza has been put on the backlog.
We’re hoping to get it out if we can, but sadly we can’t make any promises we can’t keep.
I see. I want to help the initiative. So, let me tell you Easygoingscans are interested in this series too, as you can see here: http://forum.egscans.com/showthread.php/8917-Stravaganza-Isai-no-Hime?p=344501#post344501
Maybe a collaborative work could help? (I don’t know, just’a suggestion… Cooperation is great). Maybe you have the translator and they can do the cleans, etc…
No more NtK: might be censorship. This series, as much as many people love it, got booted off of Botato in an avowed act of censorship. And this outfit seems pretty tight with Botato.
I regret you guys took it over about a year ago from someone else–rather aggressively, as I recall.
You’re out of my bookmarks too.
PS: But thanks for RAN!
It’s not censorship, we’re just not enjoying the series as much as we used to. Sorry about the convenience – feel free to talk to the other group about it!
We don’t associate with any particular reader site. Upload them where you want, we don’t care.
Thank you for all your support!
Let me add that I could find the raws of vol 1 here: http://www.jcafe24.net/index.php?topic=33990.msg802655#msg802655 or if you are interested I can provide that raws, since I downloaded from that site.

Hi. I always want to thanks you for all the great work you have been doing with Irie Aki’s works. And now I’m even happier since you took another great artist like Tomy Akihito. I was wondering if you guys would like to take one of the other series of this brilliant mangaka: Stravaganza (it has only one chapter scanlated in May 2013: http://www.batoto.net/comic/_/comics/stravaganza-isai-no-hime-r9134) or Sometimes Kiss (http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=81862) which should be as exquisite as Sometimes Mellow which has been already scanlated and reminded me of Gunjou Gakusha by Irie-sensei. I guess you would like to work on one of this, and sure the community would appreciate it very very much. Thanks again and God bless you!
Thank you all at FWPA for scanlating Koe no Katachi for these past few months. I appreciate all the hard work you guys did
Well, if you’re dropping Nana to Kaoru, there’s no point in keeping you in my bookmarks anymore. Was fun.
Thanks for all your support!
Seriously? Why even start something you aren’t going to finish. Well thanks for introducing me to a great series and then taking away my only way to read it.
I’m pretty sure we weren’t planning on dropping anything two years ago when we picked up NtK.
Sorry you feel that way.
Thank you for doing so much NtK wish it wasnt being dropped since it seems it will heat up in like 6-7 chapters but i have to thank you since stumbling on this story and author its been the most addicting manga for me to date and hope to god it comes to the states so i can buy it thank your whole team for the excellent translations
Hey guys I am so totally sad, I had heard elsewhere that NtK was dropped, i was just praying it wasn’t so! Thank you so much for doing as much as you have, without you guys I never would’ve seen it at all… so thanks! To anyone else thinking of picking it up, I’ve never typeset or cleaned but I’m good with ps, so anyone thinking about picking it up, if you need it I would be more than happy to help!
Really sad about you dropping ‘Nana to Kaoru’. Quite honestly it’s the only one of the projects that you are doing that I have any real interest in. A relationship with a scanlation group is like a relationship with a girlfriend, hope for the best, enjoy the ride while it lasts, avoid the drama, and don’t be surprised if it ends abruptly.
I appreciated the work you did. Thank You.
Reiroukan is pretty stupid so far, all pointless bra/panty shots. Where’s my Nana to Kaoru/Koe no Katachi? Those have actual emotion/story to them.
No wonder you lost interest in Aku no Hsna, it went to total shit.
Thanks for the fun guys, im really going to miss Koe no Katachi from you guys. CR ruined another one.
Might need to repost/clarify if this is true. Hard to believe anything with an April 1 posting date.
If true, sorry to see you guys dropping NtK. I might have to get off my butt and get back to working on the series with Terra and co.
I believe it is true given that CR has picked up Koe no Katachi. Which is a damn shame since FwPA did an awesome job of it. I have a feeling other groups will follow suit and drop some of their own projects.
With regard to working on NtK. If it’s a possibility and you need encouragement you have my enthusiastic support. Yes Please.
Please do! Those other guys need the help, I think. Their quality is good, but having more hands on deck might help them put out releases more frequently.
awww let’s hope that someone else will pick these up quickly.
Haha, posted on April 1st, so April Fools!
