I'm going to take a little break to take a look at some of the options for my next project. I figured the best thing to do is to translate and post the first few pages of each series so you guys and I can get a feel for the series. After that, only 3 more chapters of Arakure remain. The next chapter has the "pay-off." It's very romantic scene, which makes me wonder whether I should really take a break ...
