Battle Athletes Daiundoukai: Satellite Stage, Heat 6

Just on the border, of your waking mind, there lies another time, where darkness and light are one... And as you tread the halls of sanity, you feel so glad to be, unable...to go beyond....

I have a message from another time.

No, it's not an April Fools joke. We're back. It's been a while. Lost my job today, so the joke's on me, right?  Suddenly plenty of time to finish up this chapter, though. Through good times and bad, the show must go on.

This is the end of volume 2, which means we are now right at the midway point. I might've hoped for a slightly less ridiculous end to the volume, but it's all business from here on as the Daiundoukai - and the relationships of the characters - heat up.

Hopefully we can do the second half a little bit quicker, but how many times have I said that now? It's not like anyone's reading this blog anymore anyway, right? Hahaha.

Battle Athletes Daiundoukai: Satellite Stage, Heat 5

Aaaaaaaaaand we're back. Sorry for the wait. This could've been done months ago, but for various reasons, it wasn't. We'll try to do better, I promise. I say this in the assumption there are people still checking this blog, poor wretches! T-T

This chapter was a bit of a surprise when I first read it, because it's here that the setting really begins to diverge from what I knew before from the OVA and TV series. We hope you will enjoy.

Battle Athletes Daiundoukai: Satellite Stage, Heat 4

IT BEGINS. AGAIN. Or is it "still"?

I hope you've all been enjoying the Olympics. I promise we didn't hold this back to release it just now, it simply happened that way, but there's no doubt it's an appropriate time as always. I admit I'm not nearly as into the winter games as I am the summer ones, but I do love some Curling, and where I live, the winter Olympics is the only chance to ever see it.

I watched quite a bit while working on this chapter, in which the girls are getting up to their own stick-utilizing sport, although the similarity pretty much ends there. Also Mylandah throws down some more of her awesome bad behavior.

We hope you will enjoy!

Battle Athletes Daiundoukai: Satellite Stage, Heat 3

Well, here we are again. We were doing so well for the first half of the year, but as so often happens, there have been many upheavals in the past four months. However, things should hopefully be settled for a while now.

I hope there are still some people who are interested in this project, but however that may be, and no matter what delays may take place, my desire and determination to see this project finished won't waver. So please believe in that.

On another matter, ever since Jmanga went out of business, we've received several requests to restart Kimi no Tame, but I'm afraid we have no intention of doing so. A very great deal more of it than we ever did is already available in English thanks to Jmanga, and that will have to do.

To tell the truth, there are actually several unclaimed manga Zefiris and I would love to be working on, but as should be obvious, we have enough trouble even attending to just one. Who knows what unwise gambits we may one day choose to make, but for now, we hope you will continue to enjoy Battle Athletes Daiundoukai.

Battle Athletes Daiundoukai: Satellite Stage, Heat 2

It's time!

Lots of people get to act cool this chapter. Mylandah makes her debut, and for those who know the character, her behavior is sure to meet or exceed your expectations... Next Jessie has a big moment, and then Kris enters the fray! By the way, there's no extra page this time, the chapter just ends abruptly. Yes, it's a cliffhanger alright.

One translation note. At a critical moment, Jessie refers to Akari as her "shinyuu" (親友), and we had the usual struggle to decide whether to put it as "best friend" or merely "dear friend, close friend, etc." Ultimately I decided on "best friend", as I think that really is the best way to describe their relationship. Also, it makes Jessie that much more awesome for boldly declaring it at such a moment.

We hope you will enjoy!

Battle Athletes Daiundoukai: Satellite Stage, Heat 1

Time to begin the main event! Or at least, to make our way to the place where we can begin getting ready to begin preparing for the main event...er...yeah... Anyway! On to the Satellite Stage.

Welcome back to Battle Athletes, where space, far from being the silent vacuum you might imagine, is filled with whooshing noises. Lots and lots of whooshing. You'll understand soon. Enjoy!

Battle Athletes Daiundoukai: Land Stage, Heat 5

Well well. You know that motivation and discipline I mentioned? I found it. It's been 29 days since our last release, and even though this is a double length chapter, we managed to do it in that time. It's really a lesson to me of how things can and should be done. Now, I certainly can't promise we'll be pumping out chapters every two weeks, but certainly we'll be aiming more toward a paradigm like that than we've managed in the past...

Anyway, it's tough to say much about this chapter without spoiling the suspense. This is the end of the Land Stage and gateway to the Satellite Stage, which is three times as long. For at least three of our aspiring young ladies (but which?), this is only the beginning. Many more struggles and important meetings lay ahead...and for Akari, one of the latter in particular.

One thing to add is that you should look closely at the group of bikers gathered on page 138. There are some rather amusing pre-race preparations going on between a few pairs of students...also, this chapter contains some NSFW elements, so careful where you read.

As always, I want to thank Zefiris for her eternal patience and indulgence, never complaining at my bipolar shifts between procrastination and bursts of demanding fervent action. She really is the one who makes this work possible. We hope you will enjoy!
