Orochi Chapter 6 (Manga Release)

Here's the first chapter of the third kanzenban of Orochi! In "Stage," a boy suffers a tragedy at a very young age and as a result gives up all TV and music. More than a decade later, he tries to break into show business. Has he forgotten about the misfortune of his youth, or are his intentions more than they seem?

I really liked this story, and I think a lot of people will. It's not strictly a horror story, but it's well told and paced excellently.

This is the first of the two stories in the third kanzenban, and it is about 130 pages long. The second story is over 200 pages long, so it'll take longer to do. I'll try to get it done before the end of April, so you guys don't have to wait too long for it (and because I'm going to an anime convention at the end of April and don't want a nagging feeling while there). As for what happens after that, I'm going to mess with my scanner, see if I can get it working, and talk to the translator of Orochi , molokidan, to see what he might want to do in the future. I hope you all enjoy Yuuichi's trip to the "Stage!"

Orochi Chapter 5 (Manga Release)

Finally, it's done! It took forever, and I ended up having to do most of the pages twice, but it's finished and here for you to enjoy. In this chapter, a little boy tells a ton of lies. When he sees something horrible, no one believes him. What will he do when he is chased by a murderer and his cries for help elicit only laughs and condemnations?

I'm 99% sure there is no difference between the high quality and the low quality, but I'm still gonna give you the option of downloading one or the other. Because I'm crazy.

This is the end of the second kanzenban. Expect the first chapter of volume three within two weeks, hopefully less. After that, there will only be one chapter left until I'm out of stuff to scanlate. There have been talks of getting the fourth volume, but I don't have a working scanner right now (though I may be able to get it working soon). Anyways, I'll start figuring stuff out after I finish chapter 6. Enjoy "Key"!

Orochi Chapter 4 (Manga Release)

4th chapter of Orochi - "Hometown." A man goes back to his hometown and finds that things have changed quite a bit. A creepy kid, a dark secret, and a lot of sound effects!

I'm starting to think that there's no difference between the PNGs and JPEGs, but I'm still going to release two versions, just in case I'm wrong. My eyes do suck, after all.

I'll probably spend a bit more time on the next chapter. The odd weather in my area is affecting my sinuses and making me feel under the weather. (*cough* And I just got a Wii. *cough*) The wait shouldn't be too long, but don't sit on your thumbs waiting for a new chapter next weekend. (What the fuck did I just say?)

Orochi Chapter 3 (Manga Release)

Here's the third chapter of Orochi, titled "Prodigy." This is a story about family, how people can change, and especially, a mother and son's perception of each other and how it warps them.

Once again, two versions because, why not?

You can subscribe to Orochi and see when I upload a new chapter there. Also, there's a read-online feature.

I'll say stupid shit and how I'm doing on the latest chapter (that's the important part).

I'd also like to let everyone know that you can upload this wherever they please, as long as you leave the credits page in, to give myself and molokidan the credit we deserve. Thanks for reading! Chapter 4 will hopefully be finished in about a week.

NOTE: It's been brought to my attention that a page is missing from chapter 2. It doesn't add anything to the story, so if you've read the chapter without it, there's no need to worry, but I have added the page to the release post so everyone can get it. Sorry for the trouble. Thanks for catching that, js.

Orochi Chapter 2 (Manga Release)

Shaggy Horror's first release! The first of many to come, hopefully.

This is the second chapter from the first kanzenban volume of Orochi, by Kazuo Umezu. (A kanzenban is like an ultimate volume - really big.) This completes the volume. The first 90 pages or so were done by a group called [Kurokishakai]. Much thanks goes to the group, who also did the first chapter of Orochi. You can find that on their blog.

The chapters of Orochi are separate tales, connected only by the existence of a strange girl named Orochi. You absolutely do not need to read the first story to understand the second. This chapter is titled "Bones" and is about a woman with a bad childhood, her husband, and a spell gone wrong.

After I finished the chapter, I saw that it was over 180MB, so I saved the files as JPEGs to reduce their size. The result was two versions of the chapter, with one of slightly less quality. Both are easy to read though. And it is 215-pages long, so 180MB isn't too crazy a number. Anyways, here are the download links.

Big thanks goes to molokidan for translating this and again, [Kurokishakai] for starting this. I'm going to start working on the first chapter of volume 2 now, and it will hopefully be out before Valentine's Day. Tell all your friends about me!

NOTE: A page is missing from this chapter. It doesn't further the story, so don't fret if you've already read the chapter - you didn't miss anything big. It just sound effects (UUUUUUUUUU). Still, here's the missing page so everyone can get it:
