Strobe Light Update: It's Licensed!

Hi everyone, 

I got word some time ago that the manga translation project we started quite some time ago and never really progressed in has been licensed!

To respect the license holders I removed the link to the chapter from this page. Everyone who is still interested in reading the rest of the volume should be sure to read the licensed volume when it is finished being translated by the Digital Manga Guild. 

I'm not aware if it's available yet, but you can check on them for when it will be, hopefully soon:

Thanks for everyone who's stuck with us, read the chapter, left comments, and those who helped allow it to come into fruition. I hope Aoyama Kei's work will reach an even wider audience now. 

Until next project,

Strobe Light Chapter 1

We've finally completed Chapter 1 of Strobe Light!
Very special thanks to Yuuki for checking on the translations I did and correcting the stuff I missed.
You can all get the first chapter by direct download until we figure out how/where to distribute it online.

Thanks: Yuuki/Isshin/Mauger90/Tako for help with QC and everything else!

Aoyama Kei - Strobelight

Just to announce, my current project, and my very first at that, is to translate Strobe light, a manga by recently deceased manga-ka Aoyama Kei. Kei committed suicide a few months ago, foreshadowed by a post on her twitter announcing she lived a fulfilling life. Not even well known in her own country, Kei is seldom translated into English. However, with so few releases under her belt it isn't like one needs to fill up a huge legacy. I enjoy her work most of all for how she pens the girls, in a way I find is irresistible and attractive. They are quite charming, and the art style is down to earth, simple, yet still given enough detail to not be boring. The themes for Kei's manga are usually slice of life.



Strobe Light is a manga I picked up by chance seeing as it was Kei's most recent work at the time. I was drawn in first by "China Girl"(which has already seen a scanlated release) so seeing as she had another manga out there I jumped head first for it. Strobe Light is a writer's account of his experience with one of his ex-girlfriends in college. Things take the I've enjoyed it very much, and I hope you will too. Look forward to the chapters coming out on this blog!
