Double release this time~! These chapters fill in some of the real-world backstory, so I think they're really interesting. Next chapter is back to Toki and the gang, though.

Chapter 64
Chapter 65

Annnnnd I also finished the scripts for the end of Volume 12 and all of Volume 13, so you can read along with the Chinese scans at 89890.

Chapter 73
Chapter 74
Chapter 75
Chapter 76
Chapter 77
Chapter 78
Chapter 79
Chapter 80

So enjoy the major plot bombshells, lol~~ Volume 14 is even crazier, so look forward to it! <3 Also, we have over 2000 members now! O__O

Download here! I apparently forgot to put the cover in the zip file, so here it is on Minitokyo. Feel free to translate, edit, color, whatever tickles your fancy. Credit isn't required, but it's appreciated. Enjoy! This is my first download post, so if there's any problems, tell me. ^^;

Sorry this took so long!! All those sound effects are a nightmare!

Download Chapter 63

(I'm trying a new upload service, since people are already predicting Mediafire's demise. So if this new site doesn't work, I'll upload it somewhere else!)

Download!

This chapter is awesome. Kuchihaaaaa~~~!! She's such a badass. You'll want to read the next couple of chapters closely, because they drop a lot of plot hints! ♥

Download!

Hey, look, another chapter! It's almost like there's some kind of semi-regular update schedule... but don't get used to it. ~_~ Too many sound effects in the next few chapters!

I just found tons of awesome Amatsuki fanart and cosplay on Deviantart! Wow, you fans are talented! Now post more stuff here~ :3

A little off-topic, but Takayama fans should be happy to know that the sequel to Mr. Morning, Mr. Applicant has begun to be scanlated. Find the chapter here.

And that's it for volume 10! So we're only three volumes behind Japan, that's not so bad, right?? We were three volumes behind when I started translating this series years ago!

Oh, and also, I'm a mod now! Hooray! And we have almost 1500 members, what!? When did that happen!? Since Amatsuki is such an underappreciated series, we should totally encourage more fan work. If you have any ideas, please say so in the comments, and we'll think of some fun stuff to do in the new year. ♥

I hope this works. I don't know what I'm doing looool.

So, hey! POINTS OF ORDER.

1. Point the first: an apology. Truly sorry about the fail of getting the scans out: life happened, and I'm glad that some stopgap measures were found.

2. In case of LIFE HAPPENING again, I am considering adding one or two additional mods. These would ideally be users in good standing, who have been around for awhile in one form or another. Interest in doing community events or whatever a bonus, but unnecessary.

If you fit this criteria and are interested, email me at cookiepirate at gmail with your LJ username.

3. In the wake of the rollout of the new LJ comment page redesign/site wide redesign (preview the new pages that haven't rolled out yet), I am switching the community to a different style and adding in custom comment pages. Minimalism apparently still has the old comment pages, but I can't imagine this standing for very long. The floor is open for other suggestions.

4. There is also virtualedo at DW if you are now contemplating the move of journals, et al.

As always, I am reachable at cookiepirate at gmail if you need me.

I swear I posted these, but, uh, apparently I didn't! -_-;; I'm really happy that the manga is going into detail on one of my favorite historical periods! I tried to put in more historical notes so you can appreciate the political backdrop of the story. ^^

Does anyone have scans for volume 13? I only have scans up to chapter 73. I have the tankoubon, but no scanner, and you guys probably like to look at the pictures while you read the scripts, right? As always, these translations are probably full of errors and nonsense, so have fun~
