*Wel... Welcom...*Stomp*Flail※The next update is scheduled for May 13th
Volume 2 is coming out tomorrow!!!Remember that sales in the first 2 weeks of the first 2 volumes are the most important.Here's some words of encouragement.>As expected, this season is...>To put it plainly, "The time right before the tankoubon comes out">Whenever this time comes around, I suddenly start getting overcome by anxiety>I become all dark and gloomy and keep talking in mumbles.>What if it comes out and no one reads it?>To begin with, is it even being read when it's updated?>Maybe you have to do publicity and such frequently on SNS after all, etc. etc.>Well, I guess everyone goes through this kind of things, not just authors.>How long a serialization lasts pretty much depends on the sales of the tankoubon.>If it's popular then it continues, if not then it goes away. Well, that's the natural order of things.>If it's unpopular then it's going to end up a liability for the company. Just releasing it is being in the red.>... Reality is really harsh.>Before Majo to Kuyurasu, I had 2 serializations, Reki Yomi and Yona Yona Yona, both ended up cancelled.>Before the tankoubon for Reki Yomi came out, I was the complete opposite as I am now, full of confidence "Fufufu...! I can't wait!" as I was looking forward to the day it goes on sale.>Comic ZIN even gave it a digital display. I was thrilled. But when the lid was opened, I couldn't believe how bad it didn't sell. I (at the time) didn't understand why.>I wanted to draw all kinds of things Reki Yomi, but I had to abandon it without being able to>Well, that kind of story is not rare.>It's just my feeling, but 90% of works serialized at the same time as mine ended up like above.>Only around 10% goes on.>Then I tried again with Yona Yona Yona, but it also didn't sell! Well, the book came out in large size!>I can give all kinds of reasons like that, but... My ability was lacking. I admit.>And so, I couldn't complete the story I wanted to this time either. It was wrapped up all of a sudden.
>That's why, when it comes time for the tankoubon to come out, I get caught up in anxiety!>Fundamentally, when it comes to tankoubon, volume 2 doesn't sell more than volume 1. It tends to trend downward.>There's always a portion of people who buy the first volume to try and goes "Welp, I'm good with that.">To try to prevent that, we come up with things like postcards and illustrations.>That's why we're doing all sorts of things.>Well, I've got over it now. I also get consultation from my editor where I let out things like complaints and anxiety and receive advice to relieve my mind.>Right! Don't think about things from the past! Our first priority is "To make interesting manga!">Like that, we'll definitely be understood!>That's my conclusion.>Let's make something worth paying money for for the readers.>For that (in terms of manga), we must do whatever it takes.
>I'm also really attached to Reki Yomi. So much so that when it ended I was a big hit, like BAM.>I remember saying to the editor something like "I want to make Reki Yomi 2 or something like that" and got depressed when he responded fairly that "When even the original isn't selling, there's no way a part 2 will"
>This is a story about an acquaintance from long ago, but, I was wondering how they were doing so I tried checking and wow, they became a mangaka and got serialized!>But they ended up getting cancelled. Ay yai yai.>It's brutal, really. I mean, it does get read on the net, like SNS and niconico manga and such, but when it's turned into a book, it doesn't sell. Many such cases.>I've seen it countless times.>Sure enough, there's a very high wall between reading for free and being willing to pay for it. >Even now, I don't know what should be done about it.>If you ask whether adding extra value to the tankoubon is the solution, I guess there's some truth to that.>You have to make it something they want to have at arm's reach after all.>Well, that's to say, if you ask me, you have to make interesting manga.>Yep, it's the same as always.>Basically, I've ended up thinking about nothing but manga all the time so, the conclusion to the story ends up becoming "I just want to make interesting manga". Sorry.

Thanks OP, I look forward to this so much I feel bad calling you "some /a/non"Also wish I could do more for the brain dead MD crowd than say SUPPORT IT
>>287776740she is NOT blonde?
>>287777122She was going to be, but Rea is also blonde so he changed it

>>287776656What a bad influence.
>>287776683Glorious.
>>287776771>>287776763>>287776758>>287776740I definitely don't have the constitution to be a mangaka. The amount of hours you have to put into something and the likelihood that it totally flops would break my spirit. Especially if you put all your good ideas into your first work and it dies fast and then you have to spend the rest of your career trying to come up with new ones.
>>287777348>>287777348#He also talked about this. Something like (this is not verbatim so some things might be slightly off)>The young ones nowadays are more fragile mentally so they're quicker to quit, but you should not get too engrossed with grand ideas in your head and get demotivated when it fails, keep the first chapter simple with impact where it matters, build up experience, work with your editor to improve, take their feedback not as attacks but room for growth.>When I was in my early 20s, I was proclaiming "I don't want a real job. I want to be mangaka, drawing 8 pages of 4koma monthly in a dinky apartment, barely scraping by", I really wasn't taking it seriously. I've been thoroughly corrected now.>It's a harsh world, being a mangaka, so please think long and hard about going down this path, but if you do, I want to cheer you on to do your best.
>>287777566Being an artist really is staring at an ever decreasing bank account, and job applications.
>>287776683>amazing body>smells like cigsCrime. A fucking crime
>>287778107Cigs are sexy
>>287778107its a drawing you spastic retard.
>>287776668>>287776676Did Tama forget that she licked Shien's entire body?

>>287778931>Rea>Wait a minute>Rea>A moment.Why do you change script? Can you read jap as well, and you disagree with Translation Anon, or are you just putting in your own vibes? I don't read jap, but "A moment" feels a bit off here. Like it's not straight-forward enough for Shien to say in this spot.
>>287776612>A sideeye from Shien.>Sideeye close-up.I can feel this in my heart. Beautiful.>>287776642Always fun to see how tall Shien is compared to the other witches.>>287776656That's THE seat. Lucky Rea.I wonder how it smells. Filled with Shien body sweat and oils for who knows how many years.>>287776683>Bonding over their love of Shien.Lovely.
>>287779758There are times I feel he adds more to the smaller bubbles than needs to be there. I don't want to rewrite, I want to get closer to the direct sentences, so I look for the closest neighbor.I think simply saying "a moment" is more direct than asking someone to wait.
>>287777566Such a cool dude.Thanks for all the translations, and images. I'll continue to support him as best I can.
>>287779884Actually, "a moment" is more of a beckon for attention kind of expression if kept this way. A closer equivalent would be "just a moment", so yeah, let's just keep it as it was originally, yeah?
>>287779884I'm not sure what you mean by direct, but I think you're removing the nuance or tone in the things they say. It's like saying "She's smart" vs "She's clever" or "That girl is dumb" vs "She couldn't poor water out of a boot if the instructions were on the heel". It might be longer, and the shorter sentence essentially means the same, but the vibe it gives is different. These small things can give characterization or a feel of the situation a person is in.
>>287778508Beasts know no limit
>>287779948Yeah, "Wait a minute" feels fine, though I don't read jap.
>>287779948>>287779987You know, I think I did misread the kanji while going through and mistake it for time not wait
Some love for Shien*Doki* *Doki*
>>287776763I wish I knew about reki yomi before it got axed because I really wanted to buy the volumes.
>>287776763>>I'm also really attached to Reki Yomi. So much so that when it ended I was a big hit, like BAM.Same.
>>287778894It's like she wants to fight or something
>>287779124These lesbos are beyond saving
>>287781293Nah. That's just how Shien looks. She's totes cute. You can see by her eyebrows here she doesn't mean any harm.
Love bump~
>>287778508Once is not enough.
>>287778508>I touched boobs before. Now that I've done that, I've no need to ever touch them again.If anything, licking Shien all over probably just makes her want to go further.

I'd prefer it if you wait until I have the physical extras by the next update to upload this outside of here.I can at least trust some of you here to buy with the translation provided, but the conversion on mainstream platforms is not enough to risk Japanese sales in the early period.
>>287784742>>287785047Speaking of that, where do you get these from? This is the electronic version of the volume right? I assume you bought it from some where? If I want to, where can I do the same?
>>287785190Bookwalker
>>287785204>https://bookwalker.jp/series/560376/list/When you buy it, does it download like a zip file with pngs in it, or is it like one of those things you need a dedicated reader for?
>>287785452Try to figure out how this works on your own firsthttps://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/532237-nutaid-consolidated-scriptIf you can't, ask me for help
>>287785452If you don't mind having to read it on the web reader on their site or app, you can just buy it and that's it too.
>>287785781I can't read jap yet, so it's not really a reading issue. If I buy stuff, I like to actually have it, you know? Like I buy some works on DLsite to support them even if I can't read it (I still just play the pirated or fan translated version instead if I want to play it again). If I can't have the thing I buy, or have to go through a third party to do things with it, it feels awkward to me, like it's not actually mine.
>>287786039Sure, it's doable, but not officially. Figured out the above?
>>287786091Not yet. I'm not quite tech savvy so I just saved it in a tab. I still have yt-dl, 4chanx, and a bunch of other things I have to download and learn.It's alright though. If I manage to get to it, and I need help, I'll ask. Thank you.
Vol 2 came out today, so a bump for that~
>page 9"Woah, what's this thread doing do here. You lost bud? Lemme take you some where more comfortable."
not yet
>no nipple again
>>287790350I was wondering why. I think we've seen Shien, Tama, and Rea's nipples before, yet the omake omits nipples.I don't think we've seen Mode's nipple's, but that could be just be the author playing on the safe side.
Fixed it and uploaded for anyone who wants to look at it on dex>>287785047>I'd prefer it if you waitNo problem
Love this lady.
>>287778820I love these types of jokes
>>287792843What's the joke here?
>>287784999>>287785011tamatitties
>>287793708Making sure new witches are always informed the place is a rental
>>287793729Is there something more to that? I feel like that's just like saying "Hey, welcome to my house. It's a rental though."
>>287779124thanks for the ts
>>287793797It's just an unnecessary clarification and having it repeat each time gets a chuckle out of me, I dunno.
>>287784948Tama's tamas....
>>287793879I see.
Wait a minuteI'm starting to think these girls might be lesbians
>>287793879I get it. It's a juxtaposition of the mundane and the absurd.
>>287794029I see, I see.
>>287791813Should add something to push them extra hard to buy whenever a volume comes out
>>287794526You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink
>>287794675That's a given, but spontaneous stimulus in intervals should result in heightened compulsion and building anticipation
>>287794526All I can do is post links in the commentsPart of me wonders how many users even care to look at what's listed under "Read or Buy"
>>287795103Make an extra credit page, put a screenshot directing to the Read or Buy section, add some of the official marketing materials, maybe some excerpts from the author's blog above. Something like that should be nice and reusable.
>>287795194I'll whip something up for the omake next next week
>>287776683Thanks for the dump, anon.
>>287776740>want to buy the second volume>will be out of the country for the next two weeks so I can'tNow I just feel bad. I don't mind Yona Yona Yona getting cancelled though since I didn't like it that much
>>287781347Was Tama always like this or did the centuries of separation make her into this?
>>287798057She literally broke the ceiling imagining sex with Shien
>>287785011slut
>>287797008Wherever you're buying from should be able to hold it for 2 weeks, no?
>>287800116I order from Amazon Japan and they usually get it to me in less than a week, but there's no option to hold it unfortunately.
>>287800250Just double-dip with the digital version, it's $5
>>287800250Sales after that is good too, just not as heavily weighted to sales forecast
Morning bump.
>>287800537As much as I like the author, I don't like buying shit twice just for the sake of it. I'll just get the volume when I get back.
>>287801705I can relate only because I go through amazon and don't want to deal with prime/kindle, although if I could get the exclusive goods it would be a different story.
>>287797008Yeah, Reki Yomi felt precious, but I didn't feel anything from Yona Yona Yona, thought I dropped it ready early on.
not yet, i am still busy
You heard the man; he's busy.
>>287805309>>287805327Nice.
I have some love for Rea too~
It's not from me, but someone sent some love for Tama and Mode.
not yetttt
again still busy
Bashful glance from the lovely Shien.
Goodnight guys. Goodnight Shien.
I really liked reki yomi but I'm not really enjoying this one. Yet I want to support the author. Wat do
>>287815857Click the like button on the manga page I guess.
>>287815857He'll make Reki Yomi 2 if this gets big. Trust
It's ogre...
>>287818364Good for him
>>287818364What's it say?
>>287819013The volume 2 signing event has concluded. Please sign the rest of the books yourselves.
>>287819102>Please sign the rest of the books yourselves.Such humor XDHope the event went well for him.
>>287819148I was making a ShiboYuugi joke in case you didn't get it. He just wrote "Thank you" on the sign.
>>287819160Ah. I never been there and didn't get it. Still, I hope it went well for him.There seems to be a good number of unsold books there and I'm a little worried.
Holy stocks
What do we do now? Do we let the thread die? It's been up since last month after all.
>>287821070i am still busy and i want to discuss the chapter, so no until i am free
>>287821306Got it. More love for Shien it is.
>>287784843pits>>287784883more pits
>>287821070>It's been up since last monthI bet you thought that was funny.
>>287821819It was funny enough that it got a response from you.Yes, I thought I made a good joke
More Mode when?
>>287821965One would think with such a name she'd be the most frequent.
>>287821965Mode's all over Japan right now
>>287822277Maybe this work wont be cancelled.
>>287822277Needs to be all over the world
Nervous glance.
still busy.......
