Hanbun no Tsuki wasn't really all that special IMO. However, I'm sure there are a lot of people who are excited about this. Nice one, RightStuf.

+1

There was a scene or two that really ruined this series for me, but it's good to see that those who have been waiting around for the release probably don't have to wait for too much longer. And, that it's very likely to actually see a release this time around.

And before anybody asks, yes, they're using the translations that I'd done for Crimson Star before that all fell apart last year.


Are they giving you credit/royalties?


Credit? Yes. Royalties?

ROYALTIES?!

BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA! Oh, that's so funny...

Sorry. Translators are like most work for hires: we do the job, get paid, and release all claim of further compensation to out client. There are no royalties for us, just a one-time paycheck.

It was my understanding that you had not been compensated for your work on Hantsuki. I assume that TRSI/Lucky Penny did compensate you for your work so you finally were compensated? Or am I misremembering the whole ordeal?

Oh, yes, I finally got paid by Right Stuf. The Dope got nabbed by the cops literally days before he would have sent me a check.

That's what the rumors say, yes.
