I feel so fortunate tonight that I have people around me who still love MangaArt's projects, and also can help me out to update the IRC channel topic when I couldn't~ (thanks whiteboo)!.

Though, sometimes it's a little lonely here and everyone's so busy now that I wonder if MA will survive for another year? Please help keep MA alive by joining us~. In particular, we're looking for j trans, editors and QCers~.

In the meantime, enjoy the chapter that people slav-... err.. helped do~.

AND, please bug keppim to edit faster! Seems like I alone am not enough~ *hides whip~* ohoho~

Oh hey, it's been awhile. It seems that after our hardcore partying in celebration of our 10th anniversary a couple of months ago, we all passed out and then spent the rest of the time recovering~ My, how time flies when you're too busy celebrating.

Well, we're back to celebrate more! Because it's our dear Shatner-loving, mummy-fearing, translating maestro's birthday! Happy birthday Deanna! Well, technically I'm a couple of days late, but as they say... better late than never! So I hope you had an awesome birthday, Deanna! Here's a chapter of your favorite, Akazukin Chacha! Well, I guess you've read the chapter already since you translated it... but you can now read it in English! Banzai! :D (It's almost impossible to find a chapter of something she hasn't had a hand in translating or fixing since she does so much around here D:)

Well, time to go celebrate again. So we'll see how long it'll take us to recover this time around~ Till next time everyone!

Whoa, looks like we made it! Wefre still somewhat alive after 10 years of existence! Banzai!

Normally, during these important moments, I guess Ifm supposed to say something wise and profound, but Ifm not a very wise person, so I have turned to my fellow admins who are overflowing with wisdom. They have the following words to convey:

Deanna: Yay MangaArt! JOIN US!
keppim: love is the answer /o/
Siu: Can we all quit now?
Suyara: Manga art is very special to me as it symbolizes friends and ...manga, and talking to friends about manga!

Deep, I know. And I guess Ifm supposed to make a long list of thanks and praises for all the people who worked with us in the past, but I already did that awhile back, so you can read it all here if youfre so inclined.

While I say that, I do want to take some time out and thank our current team of 1 scanner, 3 translators, 2 proofreaders, 4 editors, and 1 QCer, and various friends who made these 20 releases for the anniversary possible. Somehow we made it! Good work everybody!

So Ifd like to thank the following active staff for sticking around with us: Deanna, GuardianRandy, zira, Palchan, Lotus, |]esmond, keppim, Mya, and Siu.

No less important are the following friends who provided some additional help for this grueling period: Suyara, icemarle, be0wulf, Lilinna, Potato, cutiepie, Lazuli, Censored_Vagina, and Furin.

Special thanks to the admins who helped plan all the fun anniversary activities (see group photos, filler pages, and secret staff shot glasses) to make this one of our most epic anniversary to date. They are:

- Deanna - Thanks for being so on top of everything, letting me never need to worry about anything I load on your plate. And being such a word whiz for those frequent moments when my mind goes blank.
- keppim - Thanks for always putting up with my demands and harassment for edits. And for just being a cool (silly) guy in general.
- Siu - Thanks for keeping me company during those long lonely nights of painful edits and comic making~ T_T Especially when I'm constantly distracting you at work... And for being the lone QCer left...
- Suyara - Thanks for still trying to do things for us although I know you want to escape~ The group pic and fillers wouldn't have turned out as well as it did without your awesome design skills! *_*

Thanks everyone for all the blood and sweat you sacrificed over the years and over this period of anni madness! Your sacrifice was not in vain!

Now that the standard speech is made, time to party like therefs no tomorrow! YEAHHH!

Medically I have no explanation for today's events. Normal humans and miscellaneous land animals should not be able to breathe underwater. Has anyone seen that movie The Abyss? Well, I don't think it was that kind of water we were breathing.

In other news, Immi wielding a trident is probably one of the scariest things I have ever seen.



Today we bring you another chapter of Seigi no Mikata! Exciting developments in this chapter, along with many laughs. Oh Sumiko...
