Tetsunaki no Kirinji Conclusion

Yo, 


Here's my Volume 4 Analysis + Thoughts on the whole series. You can read it below. First some words:

I'm so happy we managed to complete Season One. The first time I read Kirinji ~8 months ago, I immediately fell in love with it. I've been reading manga for over 10 years, but Kirinji had something special that captivated me. Even though I had no experience in scanlation, I loved the manga so much I just wanted to make sure that people in the west could also enjoy it. Looking back at our first chapters feels really nostalgic, looks so clumsy and amateurish. I'd dare say we came a long way since then. Translating it also helped me a lot escaping from my miserable life.

Full thanks for completing season one: First, thanks to WhITelion, without him there'd be no Lion's Ridge, thanks to xGeo for joining in a critical moment and showing how much stronger a team of 3 is than a team of 2. Thanks to all our readers and their nice comments, every one of them actually means a lot to us. Thanks to the generous donators who practically saved my life. Also not to sound ungrateful or greedy: Any amount would still help us a lot, even though we raised enough for my Visa, additional costs showed up that I had no idea about (I need to be medically insured to get the Visa, but this country doesn't cover for me so I'll have to get a private insurance, I need to pay for the translation of all documents to the Czech language, etc. life's never simple, is it (T⌓T) ) plus I still have to survive 3.5 months in these sewers of a country.

The news everyone was expecting: YES, we will be doing Kirinji Season 2. Of course we will. You can look forward to the first chapter in the near future.

One advice: If you're into Kirinji this is the perfect time to learn the basics of Riichi mahjong. Just knowing the basics will immensely increase your enjoyment, and the rules are really intuitive and logical, it's just the terminology that scares people away. I suggest watching these videos for a basic grasp, but there are many guides on the internet, a google search will do.

With that I'd like to use this opportunity to ask you guys if you would be interested in reviving our Kabuking Mahjong Nights? Basically, we played one night a week simulating the popular parlor rules of mahjong that are seen in Kirinji. We would bet imaginary money and keep scores. It was a lot of fun but back then we didn't have a lot of readers and it was hard to gather the minimal 4 people to play, so I was wondering if now there'd be enough people interested. Let us know.

Ok, that's it for now, deep analysis below.

Enjoy!!

Hey,

Did you forget we also did Koizumi? Well, don't forget it! This is the start of Volume 11! This chapter was actually 2 weeks in the making, xGeo was too busy with real life, but hopefully now we can do more frequent Koizumi releases. As of Kirinji, I'm still recovering and writing the analysis.

Thanks to xGeo and WhITelion for various job (I'm not sure who does what anymore, my brain not gud)!

~Feeling very proud we completed our first series, but I'm too tired right now to write anything. I've been working on Kirinji non-stop for 20 days, I need a break. I'll write an analysis tomorrow and update on future plans. Just a few things: big thanks to WhITelion and xGeo, those of you who don't know, Kirinji has a Season 2, that's all for now, hope you enjoyed!~
