It's more convenient to have everything in one place.<br />
<br />
http://hotdead.blogspot.com/<br />
<br />
We've been working on Triage X volume 4 and that'll be out soon, and there'll be some other surprises coming up as well.<br />
<br />
This site (Torpedo Tits) will more or less be phased out in terms of activity. I don't see a need in taking it down right now, but don't expect much more from me here.HOTDcupshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07659535629353187022noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775025538178543650.post-23045020292155084792012-03-01T11:22:00.002-08:002012-03-01T11:34:40.697-08:00Sato Shouji ArtworksIt's been about a year since we had word of chapter 30 of Highschool of the Dead so it's anybody's guess when, if ever, the series will return. You can rest assured if there's any news I'll let you know so please stop bothering me about it.<br />
<br />
On the plus side, if you enjoy Shouji Sato's torpedo tits, his series Triage X is still running regularly and you can grab the monthly raws for that at <a href="http://hotdead.blogspot.com/">Scans of the Dead</a> if you didn't know already. The scanlation has decided to once again wait for the volumes, but given the high amount of censored fanservice in the serialized version of the series that's probably not such a bad thing.<br />
<br />
Good news: Fujimi Shobo announced an artbook which will contain artwork from HOTD, Triage X, and Fire Fire Fire for release on August 9th of this year (entitled 佐藤ショウジアートワークス, or "Sato Shouji Artworks"). The details of the release aren't yet 100% clear, but assuming I can get a couple copies I will see if I can scan it a while after it's released. Don't let that stop you from buying it if it's widely available, however. Although I certainly believe in the digital revolution and yada yada whatever, it's still of paramount importance to support authors and publishers.<br />
<br />
For the HOTD volume releases, I've decided to hold off on releasing anything until I get everything together. I don't want to compete with the official US release and I want to be able to include as much as possible. It's looking like it'll be big enough that I'll probably have to release it as a torrent.<br />
<br />
Later, dudes.HOTDcupshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07659535629353187022noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775025538178543650.post-83894634059278101332011-09-30T16:58:00.000-07:002011-09-30T18:11:32.703-07:00"New" Black and White illustration from Dragon Magazine July 2008Dragon Magazine is the name of the magazine in which the short-lived HOTD novel was serialized. There were a number of illustrations produced for these chapters that have yet to be reprinted. The novel went on hiatus like the manga and a complete version of the novel was supposed to come out in March of this year, but surprise surprise, Daisuke Sato was unable to finish it so it's still unreleased as of this writing.<br />
<br />
And so, here's a very nice black and white illustration of Saya by Shouji Sato that was published with the second chapter of the novel. At this point, there's no sign the novel will ever be fully released, but back-ordered issues of Dragon Magazine are actually very cheap on Amazon. If anybody out there is in Japan and wants to go out of their way to get the old issues and scan the illustrations or send them to me, email me and I can potentially compensate you. I would order them myself, but Marketplace sellers on Amazon Japan very rarely ship overseas and a proxy service would be too expensive to be practical.<br />
<br />
Here's the illustration:<br />

So, why do I have this issue? I got it a number of years ago when I went to Kinokuniya and it eventually went in a box and I pretty much forgot about it... until now, of course.<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoy it. Next issue with the color chapter comes out in about a week.HOTDcupshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07659535629353187022noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775025538178543650.post-29735001909545930112011-09-11T08:48:00.000-07:002011-09-12T12:55:08.101-07:00HOTD color chapter in the November issue?According to a reliable source, the October issue of Dragon Age (released September 9th) states that the November issue (available October 9th) will have a color chapter of Highschool of the Dead. There are apparently no other details. This is most likely a colorization of a previous chapter, which may mean the Full Color Edition will get a continuation during the series' current hiatus, but since there's no information, it could be anything.<br />
<br />
I'll give you more information as it's available.<br />
<br />
UPDATE: I can confirm firsthand that the preview does mention a color chapter of HOTD appearing in the next issue, but there are no other details whatsoever. I guess I'll let you know what the deal is next month.HOTDcupshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07659535629353187022noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775025538178543650.post-81881482169882285562011-06-13T19:50:00.000-07:002011-06-13T19:50:41.484-07:00HOTD back on hiatus?The new chapter wasn't in this latest issue of Dragon Age, and there's no mention of the series returning in any future issues.<br />
<br />
However, there were a few relevant illustrations this issue, so here they are.<br />
<br />

<br />
I know I haven't been too productive lately, but my life has gone through some big changes recently, so I've been a bit occupied. The volumes are in progress.<br />
<br />
I'll keep this one brief, so that's all. See you again soon.HOTDcupshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07659535629353187022noreply@blogger.com34tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775025538178543650.post-11471696819295615792011-05-09T07:36:00.000-07:002011-05-09T07:36:44.071-07:00No "New" Chapter This MonthThis month, instead of a new chapter, we get a color version of another of the extra chapters, this time "Dead Illusion" (the one with Morita talking about girls he wants as his groupies). I don't know if this means we'll be getting more full color volumes eventually, but I'm kind of disappointed there's no new content... but oh well, whatcha gonna do.<br />
<br />
If you want some updates on stuff going on around here, the full color volumes are progressing slowly but surely, as is progress on the black and white volumes. My life's a bit (read: extremely) busy recently, and it's likely going to be that way until the summer, so I can't guarantee much until then. I guess the next chapter is most likely coming out in July, but I'll be there to translate it when it does come out.HOTDcupshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07659535629353187022noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775025538178543650.post-52036131622826671272011-03-12T13:56:00.000-08:002011-03-12T14:47:47.774-08:00Highschool of the Dead chapter 29The wait's over. Here it is.<br />
<br />
Due to the length of the chapter (50 pages) and other obligations, it took a couple days, but it's done now, so... I have nothing else to add to that sentence.<br />

Tell me if the links go down.<br />
<br />
Other news: the volumes are progressing smoothly for the most part, thanks to the people who volunteered to help clean. Thanks a lot guys! I'm going to be starting work on the Full Color Editions soon.<br />
<br />
If you want to donate, I'd appreciate anything you can spare. I unfortunately can't generate any revenue through ads anymore, and the Full Color Editions set me back a lot.<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading, and good luck to everyone affected by the earthquakes and tsunamis in Japan.<br />
<br />
UPDATE: I made a pretty bad typo on the last page, but it should still be understandable. Deal with it.<br />
<br />
UPDATE2: Oh right, something I forgot to note. The elementary school last chapter was spelled "Shintoko" but in the Japanese version of this chapter it was actually spelled "Niidoko." It has the same kanji, but a different pronunciation. They both seem to be valid pronunciations, but for now, I'm going to stick with Shintoko to avoid confusion. I'll probably change it to Niidoko if/when I do volume 7.HOTDcupshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07659535629353187022noreply@blogger.com38tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775025538178543650.post-77423291315722390052011-02-10T08:26:00.000-08:002011-02-10T08:26:24.212-08:00Some good news for a changeNext month, HOTD is supposedly returning along with Triage X.<br />
<br />
So, assuming this wasn't a troll of some Japanese website, I will be doing the next chapter in about a month's time.<br />
<br />
See ya then!HOTDcupshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07659535629353187022noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775025538178543650.post-54565884890604921032011-02-01T19:11:00.000-08:002011-02-01T19:11:04.446-08:00Still Recruiting Editors/Cleaners to Help with VolumesWith the progression of the main series stalled, I'm shifting my focus for now to the volumes, both the original black and white releases and the forthcoming Full Color Edition, which is to be released later this month. However, we're low on manpower.<br />
<br />
What I need are people experienced in Photoshop (or any image editing program that can use layers and .psd files) willing to commit for at least a whole chapter and stick to strict guidelines. The plan is to release the volumes at a very large size, so no blur filters are to be used. The leveling process is also very delicate and subtle to keep from losing details such as gradients, so editors can't simply use white erasers and black lines or the edited parts will stick out like a sore thumb. If you're with a group, I don't mind crediting your whole group if you want, but you'll have to stick to the conventions I've laid out.<br />
<br />
I'm pretty sure that even without additional people helping to redraw, we might be able to finish the volumes within 18 to 24 months, but I'd like to finish them much sooner than that if possible. If you want to lend a hand, send me an email showing me what you can do, and I'll send you an individual chapter. If there's a particular chapter you want to work on, just tell me, but that's on a first-come first-serve basis so if a lot of people apply (doubtful) I can't guarantee you'll get to work on exactly what you want.<br />
<br />
By working together, we should be able to produce something great relatively quickly, so I hope even just a few of you out there want to work on this.HOTDcupshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07659535629353187022noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775025538178543650.post-69517360186806328022011-01-14T00:31:00.000-08:002011-01-14T00:41:26.476-08:00More bad newsIt seems that HOTD won't be running next month. The month after that, Triage X is supposed to return, so the soonest we're likely to get new HOTD is... not for a while. Three months at least.<br />
<br />
Triage X isn't such a bad series though. Give the two volumes of that a read if you haven't already. The scanlation for Fire Fire Fire is also underway if you want something a little different from Shouji Sato. <br />
<br />
Anyway, will I do the full color Cos-Play of the Dead chapter that was included in this issue? Well, I'd like to, but life's awful busy right now to be spending time doing something I'm just going to be doing again in a couple months. I'm not going to say that I won't do it, but don't expect it right away. But hey, have this new illustration for the time being.<br />

<br />
On a side note, if there are donors who don't want to be listed, please tell me. I've only included first names for obvious security reasons, but I'm thinking it may be a good idea to be more open than I have been about finances here. As I see it, the only way to be credible is to link donations to some name. I don't really have anything to hide as far as that goes, after all. If I forgot you somehow, don't be shy to correct me.<br />

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I'd rather tell you guys sooner rather than later so you aren't so disappointed. I don't know if the lack of a new chapter means it'll be pushed back to next month or if we'll have to wait an additional two months for new material.<br />
<br />
There will however be the full color version of the "Cosplay Chapter" (as the website refers to it) printed in this issue. I expect Shouji Sato has been too busy with work on the full color edition of the series and his new doujinshi for Comiket to finish a full chapter.<br />

<b>Other HOTD News</b><br />
The first two volumes of the full color edition will be released on February 25, and volume three and four will follow on March 25. They're priced at 2000 yen per volume, and if you're in Japan and get all four volumes you can send away for an exclusive Saeko figure. I mentioned before that I'm planning on doing these volumes, but with shipping, they'll cost well over $100, so if you want to help contribute to the project and save my poor wallet, feel free to make a donation by clicking the donation button over there. Sorry for being so shameless but I'm not a rich man... I want to do this, but there's no guarantee I'll be able to buy all this stuff with my own money.<br />
<br />
<b>Projects At Torpedo Tits</b><br />
As for updates on projects going on around here, volume 6 seems to be progressing smoothly. Turambar over at http://hotdead.blogspot.com/ has been a huge help already and is really dedicated to HOTD, so if you want to thank him, take a look at the <a href="http://highschool-of-the-dead.wikia.com/wiki/Highschool_of_the_Dead_Wiki">HOTDWiki</a> and help him in creating a high quality database. Thank you to everyone else who's applied for an editor position, and I'm sorry I haven't been quicker in getting some of you things to work on. Positions are still open to help with the remaining volumes by the way, and with how big a project this is, it's the more the merrier as far as I'm concerned. All I need is for people to redraw and join spreads, but it requires a high level of skill as this series can be fairly challenging.<br />
<br />
I'm trying my hand at translating the prequel novel (Act 0: A Good Day Tomorrow) that was included with the art book, but I've never translated a novel before so it's been quite a challenge. It's very different from translating manga. I'm going to take my time with it to make sure the writing is acceptable, and when I release it I think it'll just be a text file. With the text formatting and all that, it'd be difficult to arrange the text on the illustrations. Maybe some other time.<br />
<br />
There is a separate novel edition of the series that's only one volume and is supposed to come out in March, if I'm not mistaken. It's a different telling of the story written by Daisuke Sato and with illustrations by Shouji Sato, as you might expect. The prequel novel I mentioned above is related to the manga's story and has no relation to this novel's story (kind of confusing, I know). Depending on how things go, maybe I'll try to translate the novel edition as well. No guarantees though. Daisuke Sato has a long-winded writing style that isn't always fun to translate.<br />
<br />
I'd like to translate some of the things in the anthology booklet which is included with the Secret Box, but we'll see how that goes, eh?<br />
<br />
<br />
I think that's about everything I need to mention. This was quite a long post, but I felt like I had a lot I needed to say. Hopefully it won't be too long until we can enjoy a new chapter of HOTD.HOTDcupshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07659535629353187022noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775025538178543650.post-78147545776094377842010-12-22T14:14:00.001-08:002010-12-22T14:14:51.829-08:00February issue of Dragon Age preorderedThat's pretty much all I have to say.

A few start-up groups who want to do HOTD volume 6 have recently been brought to my attention, so this is addressed to you guys: We should work together to get HOTD stuff done.<br />
<br />
There are raws of volume 6 out there, but they aren't the best quality. I've actually scanned volume 6 myself at an extremely high resolution, plus I can translate the extra stuff, so we could put out something much better if we worked together rather than if you used the public raws by yourselves.<br />
<br />
Also, I didn't really want to bring attention to it yet, but actually one of my goals with this blog was to eventually redo all the volumes. XLG did fine with the resources they had, but the resolution on the pages is too low to and the brightness is overdone so a lot of detail is lost. Needless to say, scanlating 6 volumes is a lot of work, so I haven't done much yet myself. However, the translations are basically done and I've already scanned the raws of the 6 volumes and they're more or less ready to be edited. But, it's looking increasingly like I'll never have the time to do them all by myself.<br />
<br />
So people out there who want to do volume 6 or the earlier volumes, or anyone who is a skilled editor who's good at redrawing and can join spreads: please send me an email (I now have an email address listed on the left side of the page) showing me what you're capable of and we can work together to produce the best quality releases of the volumes possible.HOTDcupshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07659535629353187022noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775025538178543650.post-29422824273254419332010-12-14T21:31:00.000-08:002010-12-15T12:05:08.456-08:00HOTD Art BookThis took a while for me to put out. Although I scanned it right after getting the magazine it came with, I decided it would probably be a better idea not to put it up while it was still available in stores in Japan, plus I've been very busy in real life.<br />
<br />
Well anyway, I've separated it into two parts: illustrations from the anime and illustrations from Shouji Sato. Both are completely raw scans. I haven't done anything with them, and they're both ridiculously huge and pretty unrefined looking as a result. If anyone out there wants to join the images and adjust the colors and stuff, well, that's up to you, but I don't have the time to do it myself at the moment.<br />
<br />
The Shouji Sato portion contains the cover, a new illustration, the complete SchDead Museum, and the prequel novel which was originally in an issue of Dragon Age a couple years back before the hiatus started.<br />
<br />
The anime portion contains a number of illustrations from the character designer for the anime.<br />
<br />
As for the color edition preview, well, there's not much to see there so I didn't bother. It's just the first 20 pages or so of the first volume in color. It looks pretty good, but I don't see the point in me translating it when I'm already planning on doing the whole volume anyway. Sorry for going back on what I say so much... First I said I'd do the 4-koma, and this time I said I'd do the color preview... I have a tendency to overestimate how much free time I'll have.<br />
<br />
Well, without further ado...<br />

Oh, one other thing. You may notice that there are no more ads on the site. My AdSense account was disabled for "invalid clicks" so I can't make up for raw costs that way anymore. I'm not going to ask anything too unreasonable, but if you can spare a little money, the donation button is still good. I make enough at my job in real life that I should hopefully still be able to afford the magazine and import costs every couple months if a few people donate, but if I run into trouble, don't get mad if I start asking for donations. It's not that I want to <b>make</b> money from this... I just don't want to <b>lose</b> a substantial amount of money. Scanning the series takes money unfortunately, and I'm still a student so I don't yet have a full-time job. Many thanks to those of you who have donated already! <br />
<br />
Well, enough of that. The next chapter comes out in less than a month, so I guess I'll see you again then. I hope you have a happy holiday season, whatever that may mean for you.HOTDcupshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07659535629353187022noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775025538178543650.post-11059974519486672542010-11-11T22:42:00.000-08:002010-11-11T22:46:39.217-08:00Highschool of the Dead chapter 28Well, what do you know, I got the chapter in today after all.<br />

This is where I'd say "See ya in two months!" but actually, I wanted to let you know that I'm planning on putting the art book that came with this issue up eventually. With no hyperbole, it's FUCKING HUGE, so when I put it up it'll be in several parts. Give me some time.<br />
<br />
Also, this issue announced that there is going to be a full color re-release of the first four volumes of Highschool of the Dead. There's not a whole lot of info yet, but we do know they're coming out in spring 2011, will be 176 pages (does that mean we'll get some extra stuff with each volume?), and are going to be <b>B5 size.</b> For reference, B5 is just slightly smaller than standard size printer paper, so for a manga release, this is <b>huge</b>. These volumes should be a treat, and if I can, I'd love to be able to translate them for you.<br />
<br />
There was a preview for the full color edition included in the art book, so I'm planning on translating that so you can have an idea of what it'll be like.<br />
<br />
Anyway, enjoy the chapter, and help me out if you can!! I'm poor. ;_;HOTDcupshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07659535629353187022noreply@blogger.com35tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775025538178543650.post-8864060497924491382010-10-23T14:57:00.000-07:002010-10-23T14:59:02.169-07:00Dragon Age December 2010 issue preordered.Sorry for a lack of updates, but I really don't have much to post about. I might try doing the Saikin no Dead spin-off or the 4 koma parody Highschool of the Head sometime, but those are kind of low priority and I'm occupied with a lot of other things at the moment.<br />
<br />
Anyway, this post is just sort of an update to let you know I'm alive, and as the title says, I preordered the next issue of Dragon Age, which comes out November 9th. This issue is supposed to contain the next chapter of HOTD, and I'll try to get it out as quickly as I can once I get the magazine. Many thanks to those who've donated or supported my scanlation through the ads on this site! Buying things from Japan is very expensive right now, so every little bit helps.HOTDcupshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07659535629353187022noreply@blogger.com31tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775025538178543650.post-63209311107826859032010-09-13T21:34:00.000-07:002010-09-13T21:34:38.352-07:00Highschool of the Dead chapter 27As promised, here it is. I've tried to imitate the typesetting style used by the old scanlators for consistency, and also because I like it.<br />

I feel a little pathetic for asking, but do you see that DONATE button there? If you can spare it, please consider donating to help pay for raws. It's not cheap to import Dragon Age and I'm poor. ;_;HOTDcupshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07659535629353187022noreply@blogger.com48tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775025538178543650.post-11047325342504546332010-09-01T20:59:00.000-07:002010-09-01T21:01:05.921-07:00Dragon Age October 2010 Issue PreorderedJust a quick update in case anyone out there is checking this site already, which I kind of doubt: I've ordered the October issue of Dragon Age which contains chapter 27 of Highschool of the Dead. I expect to get it around the 13th of September, so I'll try to get a translation ready that same day!HOTDcupshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07659535629353187022noreply@blogger.com19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775025538178543650.post-62148966567167888092010-08-26T14:32:00.000-07:002010-08-26T14:59:46.627-07:00First post and introductionHello, and welcome to Torpedo Tits, a new blog made specifically for fans of the Highschool of the Dead manga!<br />
<br />
I will be posting English translations of new chapters as they come out, and I may also post other news and things related to the series as time goes on.<br />
<br />
For the time being, you can read chapter 1-26 of the manga in English by downloading <a href="http://www.nyaatorrents.org/?page=torrentinfo&tid=147575">this torrent</a> and opening it in a bittorrent client. You may also be interested in the manga <a href="http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=41905">Triage X</a> and <a href="http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=45392">Fire Fire Fire</a>, which are both written and drawn by Shouji Sato, the artist for HOTD. Triage X has had one volume scanlated, but Fire Fire Fire is not yet available in anything other than Japanese. If you can, support HOTD and these other series by buying the manga if they are available in your country!<br />
<br />
The anime series is currently airing in Japan, so be sure to check that out too if you get the chance. You're on your own to find it, but there are a number of viewing options out there.<br />
<br />
I'll be updating again when the new chapter is released in Japan. See you then!HOTDcupshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07659535629353187022noreply@blogger.com5
