"the picture in general just doesn't make any sense"
Well, I did notice that Amano-sensei has a thing for girl's butts (just look at this chapter), so I wouldn't even be surprised if she did it mostly for her own pleasure ;)
Ok, there are no JAPANESE raws lying around, or so we can easily find. However, the Chinese (AQUA workshop) scanlators definitely has a raw source, I'm thinking someone actaully buys the comic and uploads it for personal use (as in for the group).
Now, if anyone knows how to contact AQUA Workshop (their website/forums is DOWN) and ask for the raw, or can get oen themselves, PLEASE HELP US!
It is said Comic Blade monthly is in big trouble right now with regards to falling subscription rates and slow street sales. We'll soon see the girls sleeping with the fishes and not in the mafia sense, if such a cover page can boost readership.
Sorrowfully Amanchu has a lot more potential for abuse compared to Ariaqua and the publisher will demand whatever juice they can squeeze out of the girls per yen.
I think it's really a shame that Hikari stopped her lighthearted flirting with Futaba by the end of the first volume. She was likely just being friendly, but it was sweet nevertheless.
Thanks for the translation! Another sweet chapter. It quite nice to have simple chapters to compliment all the recent character development. The Comice Blade cover looks lovely too. <3
Thanks for this CH13 release. I'm looking forward to HQ release (if there's any), and of course, the next chapters ^_^
I've been visiting this site for quite a while now. And I grateful to all of your HQ ARIA releases. That being said, I wonder when will the COMPLETE Vol 11 be released?
Is she Pikari or Akari in the page 125 portrait? I would say she's Akari. Ms. Amano decided to apply some hair tape to remind us of Aria ep7.
Otherwise, the flowers Ms. Mato saw are better known as "Hortensia" in Europe. What about the Americas? May this change for the HQ release?
Something else to note: there is a japanese sweet tea called "ama-cha" which is made from the Hydrangea serrata. Maybe this has something to do with Amanchu? Wikipedia says it's used to bathe Buddha statues.
There are strange possibilities in the Aria Living Dolls chapter. The ever-sad doll has an "akarish" hairstyle, visible especially at the bottom of page 9 and the top of page 13.
Maybe this signals the gentleman wants to communicate something sad for Akari. Maybe the man wanted to say Akari is not a human, but a doll herself (i.e. Blade Runner like android)? Akari finally mentions the box in her heart, could that be an "otome kairo"?
If Akari is truly a jinzo ningen, being an immigrant from Manhome is an optimal cover story for her, since few people of Aqua would be able to spot holes in her implanted false memories.
Being an android there is an explanation for her extreme strenght (warp speed backwards rowing and taking the fully loaded traghetto alone).
The big question is, how long will Akari last, does she expire like Priss and Batty? Maybe this is the explanation why undine generations change so often in Aria company? Maybe the androids need to be placed in semi-isolated environments, like the two-person Aria Company, so their behaviour is predictable?
Even though its 2301... Akari's able to growing etc that only apply to human being. That said, and if she is an android... who the hell was maintenanced her for the past 3 years?
It's kinda like some crazy idea of cross-over from YKK's fan.
Well, of course we don't know anything about the robots in YKK, so they might well be capable of growing. And they don't seem to require a lot of maintenance--as long as they don't get hit by lightning. But it's all indeed a bit contrived. Akira is supposed to deal with lots of people as an undine, so her environment is not isolated at all. There is also no mention of robots anywhere in Aria. People simply age much slower, which is feasible a few hundred years from now.
Today, Tuesday the 16th the hungarian Duna TV channel does Venice all the day, on the occasion of the Carnivale. In Europe it is on Hotbird6/8 sats.
USA and down under is mostly out of luck, but Galaxy-19/25, NSS-806 and Optus-D2 sats carry some of it via Duna-II at 17:10, 22:20 and 04:55 next dawn (all times are CET, Central European Time).
My PVR gear broke down, so I won't see any of it 8-(

ReplyDeletejesus another crappy fanservice cover, also the picture in general just doesn't make any sense
lets learn HTML
ReplyDeletehttp://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4861276969/
HOORAY! and thanks for new chapter!!!
ReplyDelete...but, waiting for HQ version.
P.S. Is that... a fish? look kinda creepy.
Wow, Komato-sensei is a babe. I wonder though why Hikari didn't bring Futaba or the others along.

i luv it :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your work Mr.Mez
so you're going to translate amanchu 14 by
ReplyDeletechinese Raws?
i thought there is no 14 raws.
She looks an awful lot like Senjougahara on that cover...
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get the raw file of Amanchu ch.13? Please let me know
ReplyDeletewhen are you gonna release the (HQ) version of chapter 13? pls let me know. Thx!
ReplyDeleteSenjougahara? SOLD.
ReplyDeletePersonally I loved the first cover. The second one is not as good but I would hardly call it bad. I think its fanservice tastefully done.
ReplyDeleteAlso thanks for the release.

ReplyDeleteNow, if anyone knows how to contact AQUA Workshop (their website/forums is DOWN) and ask for the raw, or can get oen themselves, PLEASE HELP US!
Yeah, around 0% chance of AQUA workshop sharing raws, but feel free to prove me wrong.
ReplyDeleteAs for 14, we'll sit on it for another week or two.
With regards to the cover page, I think that compessed air bottle is way too large for the kind of appliacation you are probably thinking about!
ReplyDeleteDo you translate from japanese -> chinese -> english for this chapter?
ReplyDeleteReferences to comrade Mao's 118th birthday probably were not part of the original, or maybe it's not that bad?

ReplyDeleteI also like her boots ^o^

ReplyDeletei wish you've get a personal amanchu scaner.
ReplyDeletei wanna help you if i live in japan....
Thank You for relase.
ReplyDeleteGreat work as always.
PS.
One nitpick.
Can you stop including useless "Thumbs.db" files in archives? There are nice .reg's to disable it in WinXP.
"New Summer Orange Planet" with Maa-Shachou
ReplyDelete"Nyander-Land" with Aria Shachou
"Undine Summer Edition"
and the 3 Aria cats at the end.
Gotta love the ads. :P
Thanks for this CH13 release. I'm looking forward to HQ release (if there's any), and of course, the next chapters ^_^

vol.11 will take another week or two, the QC is a little busy at the moment, and I'd like to have things properly fixed before releasing.
ReplyDelete@ Inthernet: Don't forget Aria's figurine at Ms Mato car :p
ReplyDelete@Inthernet
ReplyDeleteYeah, it does give the impression Amano might have turned into somewhat of a sell-out. But hey, the woman has bills to pay!
Does this say the new Comic Blade monthly magazine has double Amanchu chapters?

As with previous comments, that is Chinese Scans by AQUA workshop, meaning they probably have a private scanner.
ReplyDeleteToday, Tuesday the 16th the hungarian Duna TV channel does Venice all the day, on the occasion of the Carnivale. In Europe it is on Hotbird6/8 sats.

My PVR gear broke down, so I won't see any of it 8-(
will you get a amanchu 14 n 15 raw ?
ReplyDeleteYou dont have plan of translate amanchu
ReplyDeleteWhen you get a HQ Raws?
I have 14 and 15 in Chinese scans, I guess if we REALLY cant get a raw well do what we did with 13.
ReplyDeleteI guess the bit about Comic Blade suffering from low readership is true :(
i guess there is no more update online japanese amanchu raws. how about request raws from AQUA work?
ReplyDeleteGonna be a long shot, but I will give it a try, since they got the forum fixed (and is trying to find one that is more stable, lol)
ReplyDeletebasaka // i cheer you !
