Socky ♥

Here is chapter 167! It's up to you people to download it or not since Volume 20 (ToykoPop version) has already been scanned by BYAAAH. I will most likely continue with Volume 20 as stated in my update status in the last post below. (Unless something happens that makes me continue from Volume 21 instead…)

Grab the version 2s of Chapter 165 & 166 if you haven't done so in my previous post. >_<

Anyways, Chapter 167 link here:

TL Notes (rawr~):

~ Page 4 – Shido mention something about gathering the rest of the Shiki clan together.

Note that the Shiki clan (or Shikizoku clan (I got used to using "Shiki" so that's what you all will see in the chapters I scanlate. =X)) is made up of the Haruki (春木), Natsuki (夏木), Agi (秋木) and Fuyuki (冬木) families/clans. The first Kanji of the 4 families' names represent the 4 seasons with "Haru" (春) being Spring, "Natsu" (夏) being Summer, "Aki" (秋) being Autumn (I used "Agi" in the scans because of that's what the name is supposed to be pronounced as) and "Fuyu" (冬) being Winter.


 
~ Page 10

Just in case some people ask… I used the romaji "chuukaiya" (仲介屋) when typesetting the part when Hevn answers her phone and introduced herself. It just means something like a "negotiator", a person who mediates jobs between high-paying clients and retrievers, which is basically what Hevn's job is about.


 
~ Page 14 & 15 (Double Page) – The whatever-CCD-is cameras part.

Not explaining this. Just putting this link for people who are interested to know what it is. I hate Physics-like stuff. =(


 
P.S. Sorry if I seem to take a few days for a chapter to be released! >_< *Tries hard to not exceed one week per chapter*

  QC - 0% (Ehh... Did I QC the chapter? o.O *Must have breathed in Himiko's perfume*)
  
  
  (10 Sep 2009) Note: I will still be continuing with Volume 20 >_< (I really wanna do a full volume and that was why I decided to do Chapter 164 hahas. =P) But life has been a busy lately. So bear with me for slow translations! >_< I will release 167 as fast as I can! Now if only I can stop fangirling over random stuff from Kuroshitsuji, Pandora Hearts and Junjou Romantica and ... =X
  

  
  

I've decided to re-scanlate chapter 164 after reading through the scans posted in MangaFox and also after reading the comment made by bubba1652. (Thanks for liking my work! <3) >_< I actually wanted to just use GBsubbs translations and simply typeset them into the raws, but I ended up re-translating everything!!! I think I'll release another version of chapter 165 using the raws I have now instead of the crappy-hard-to-typeset one that was released. (Not to mention I found minor typesetting mistakes that I didn't really noticed beforehand.) But that won't really be a top priority until I finished chapter 167 translations which I will start on soon. Chapter 164 killed me with all the facts I needed to look up not to mention that I started translating and editing like 85% of it yesterday at 10pm all the way till 5am. (This is what happens when you have tons of free time and have no school/work on Thursday.) =D

Notes On This Chapter:

On page 11, Paul's explanation on the history (sort of) of the clans/tribes of Shido's and his enemies' can be further elaborated in the links below if you are interested to find out more!

On page 14 whereby Shido asked Madoka about what she used in the tea she prepared, what was stated was that she used Ylang-ylang. However, I have never heard of Ylang-ylang being used in tea!!! >_< However, it does have soothing properties and such. 

More information on Ylang-ylang here -> http://www.answers.com/topic/ylang-ylang


P.S. Off to watch Umineko episode 10! xD  tata!~

Chapter 166 of GetBackers! I got my hands on better quality raws which made my work easier! ^^ Thanks to everyone who commented on my previous post! =) I've decided to scanlate this series until someone does it on a regular basis or until there's an official request telling me to stop or something.

I apologize again for any translation mistakes or whatsoever. (I suck at translating their skills' names or whatever you call it…) Kindly bear with me! =X I hope I get the time to release this series weekly. You people can check for status updates on my Twitter or on this blog (if I do update).
