    Thank you very much for this. Do you by any chance know if they’ve retired or something? Baka-updates doesn’t list anything new from them in the last 8 years. Also, are there plans to do any more of their stuff? You guys have scanlated so much of their work. Thank you!

      When I last emailed them, they said they were working on a Bruno Schulz anthology. That was a while ago, though.

        Did they transition to only adapting short stories? It’s good to know they’re still making stuff though.

      We do have more from them in the pipeline. Habanero Scans has already provided me raws for a bunch of stuff (including some stuff they did under the name Sunday Crossword) and I believe he plans to scan some more when he gets his hands on it, too.

      Next up is a ~60 page illustrated book called The Dream I Had When I Died (Shinde Shimatta Boku no Mita Yume).

        That’s awesome! You guys are the best, I can’t wait! Who knows, maybe eventually you’ll scanlate everything they’ve ever done. Seriously, I love you guys for providing us with so much Nishioka goodness.

          It may take some time, but I think we probably will end up translating all of it. :)
