 Let it go, Let it goooo~

I think moving on after a break-up is the hardest thing to do. What do you think?

Well, this may not be a bonanza like what you'd expect from the title but we do have new mangasss in-store just for you. Can you guess what it could be? Kufufufu. I don't know either! XD

Where art thou, Matteiru?!

To start off, we would like to clarify that Matteiru is still alive and kicking. You might have noticed that there's not much activity in the forums the past few weeks, well that is because everyone's enjoying each of our own summer escapade in our very own Matteiru tropical paradise and whatnot. So, no worries! We will be releasing manga chapters dutifully every month (we always do) because we love it and we know you love it too! And who doesn't love a dose of monthly sugar, spice, and everything nice?

Matteiru is getting Married?!

Okay, not. But we would just like to announce that we will be celebrating Matteiru's 1st year anniversary this coming October. And it's Halloween! So expect looots of manga releases enough to fulfill your shoujo manga needs to the brink of ecstasy. Don't forget to give our projects more love so that we can continue having more awesometastic anniversaries in the future XD.

Babycode? Who's the father?!

Oh, yes! All hail to souka for updating our forum babycodes. Well, it's actually BB code but I prefer calling it babycode. I've been pestering souka for a month to have it updated just so I can experiment with post creation and making it all pretty (teehee). Technically, it means more possibilities for your forum posts. See below and notice how I am now able to use tables and columns for this piece. You should try it out, too!

Happy birthday, Jenatrix!

Who's Jenatrix? She's none other than one of Matteiru's fave supporters. She's also a very active member in this forum and heck you could say she's the number one follower for Mairunovich! Like, she loves it more than all of our official staff combined! And her great support and appreciation for all our efforts in releasing manga monthly, like all of you guys, keep Matteiru alive and inspired. Her birthday was on August 8, so belated happy birthday, Jenatrix! And we got Mairu for you.  

Where's my manga?!

Okay, okay. Jeez, aren't you guys excited? Before that, you might be wondering how many new manga(s) we have prepared. Well, we will be releasing a few this month and some more potential series in the next few months so stay tuned! And now, featuring our August batch release!

	(8/12) Mairunovich 20: MediaFire | 4shared | Read Online | About Hold your horses!!! Why is it that every time we release a Mairunovich chapter there’s always a hodgepodge of squeals and rants all over the place? Why? Happy Mairunovich day to all you Mairu lovers and haters (yet, still reads the manga anyway)! Don’t forget to cool off afterwards ‘cause Mairu♥Mirai is still a loooooong way to go. Check our forums for spoilers.
	(8/14) Corset ni Tsubasa 01: MediaFire | 4shared | Read Online | About New manga alert! Here's a new series you will surely love brought to you especially by our lovely translator Nyreem. Nyreem says this gets better after the first volume and “…ends up really freaking great!” It's great indeed because you won’t see too many characters with all uber positive traits rolled up into one heroine. Also, plus points for the Victorian setting and the pirate eye patch!
	(8/16) Koibana Koiseyo Hanabi 25: MediaFire | 4shared | Read Online | About Joint with Coyomoose. Ooh lookie here, another chapter of KKH! This time, Hanabi and Chikai are finally going on their pre-Christmas date! //squeals. They brought their cute dogs out to play, too. Hanabi even dressed them up, it's so adorable. And whoops, looks like our loveable heroine makes another mistake - what could it be this time around? KKH lovers, have fun with this new update, and remember to drop by at Coyomoose to say hi and thank you!
	(8/18) Ootagawa Junjou Lovers 01: MediaFire | 4shared | Read Online | About Surprise! Surprise! Ootagawa Junjou Lovers will be one of the new manga series we will be working on starting this August. It came into works due to its popularity amongst our staff and easily charmed its way to having its first chapter released. A captivating manga about love with no boundaries. This is a humorous love story for the stalkers, stalkee and the like!
	(8/24) Hal 04: MediaFire | 4shared | Read Online | About Joint with asdf Scans. Finally, the final chapter of Hal! Most of you have probably read Chibi Manga’s version for this chapter thus, the ending may not come as a surprise anymore. But for those who still haven’t, then what the heck are you waiting for reading this lame post? Download this chapter now! And don't forget to also thank asdf scans for this awesome release. Also, give them a BIG CONGRATULATIONS on their 1st anniversary!!
	(8/26) Kageno Datte Seishun Shitai: MediaFire | 4shared | Read Online | About Ooh la la~ What do we have here?

Both of them aim to enjoy their youth to the fullest, and with each other's help, will they be able to do so? This will be our last release for our August roster so come back again next month for more goodies. Ciao!
	We are now adopting new family members! Hey, guys. We'd love to be able to worry more about manga and less about finding new recruits who can help out with our beloved projects. Thus, if you've ever considered taking a trip at our recruitment page while wondering whether to join or not, now would be a totally RAD time to do it. We love you all with all of our crazy shoujo lover hearts!

Finally, let's not forget to be social.

Hello, everyone! I'm Fiarose12, a proofreader at Matteiru! Wow, June flew by...and so did July!  I can't believe it!
 
We have some awesome releases this month.  I've been working on some new L-DK chapters, as well as re-reading past chapters.  Is anyone else psyched for the live-action movie?   I heard that Ao Haru Ride is getting a live-action too, in addition to the anime! So much good anime is coming out this month.  I finally got Starry Sky to work on my computer.  The series has great seiyuus, but I recently found out that Yukio from Ao No Exorcist (I love him) and Grell from Kuroshitsuji are voiced by the same seiyuu (who is also Azusa in Starry Sky).    So my dreams were pretty much crushed. щ(ಥДಥщ)  On the bright side, the seiyuu who voiced Yato from Noragami is in the Starry Sky series. (^3^) I am very excited to start playing.
 
If you enjoy our releases, please: we are currently recruiting Japanese translators and cleaners (with or without redrawing skills)!  You can apply for a position here.  We need YOU to help us get releases out! We will hold some of our releases (Stand Up!, Sumika Sumire, Mairunovich, L-DK, Kageno datte Seishun Shitai, Ibara no Kanmuri and Sugars) hostage!!  
 
On a happier note: Happy birthday to our wonderful proofreader, CookieMonsterHana, whose birthday is on July 23rd!  Wow, we have quite a few birthdays this month. Lilian and Sweetthoughtfulzombie have birthdays this month, too! Happy birthday, everyone!
\(^o^)/
 

A big thanks to the Matteiru Staff, who worked hard to release these chapters!

Firstly, let me start off with...
 
Happy Belated Halloween!!
 
I hope everyone's had a great Halloween, well, for those who celebrate it. Did you wear a costume? Did you go out trick-or-treating? Did'ya make some trouble!? What did you do on Halloween? Let us know what kind of fun and mischief you've been up to in a reply to this post.
 
Secondly, let me continue with...
 
Happy Anniversary Matteiru Scans!!!
 
To be clear, our anniversary was actually a couple days ago on October 31^st, 2013. So why didn't we release it on the 31^st? Well, I think that... there's a good explanation for that! I fell asleep at my desk. Yes, you heard correctly. We are making this release late because I fell asleep. I want you all to know that our staff stayed up incredibly late trying to make the October 31st release happen and I let them down. I apologize to our fans, and deeply apologize to our staff. There is no bigger letdown than a late anniversary, but let the show must go on!
 
So why didn't we release it on November 1st? Well... that was our Plan B however, it was my last day of work and things happened. What kind of things? My coworkers took me out for lunch, there were all sorts of little problems happening at work, and my other coworker took me out to dinner! So why didn't we release it after the dinner!? That's because my coworker made me go to her house to play Rockband until midnight. I would have left earlier, but her newlywed sister was in town for her honeymoon. I thought I should be a good friend and entertain her. Then on my way home, 4 freeways were closed. I was lost for a little while and became further delayed from making this post. Once I got home, I began writing this post, but fell asleep at my desk again shortly after.
 
Fate seems to be against me making this release. But we made it. And because we made it so far...
 
Thirdly, let us celebrate Matteiru Scans coming this far...
 
If you're not familiar with our group and it's history, please take some time to get to know us: http://www.matteiruscans.com/about. We have a amazing, incredibly strong-willed staff who are also graciously kind. Though we're battling being understaffed for the amount of projects we work on, staff members have miraculously stepped up and taken twice or more the load!
 
On stage, we have incredibly friendly, gentle, and enthusiastic staff. Behind the scenes, we have fiery and enthusiastic staff --and sometimes we get into heated debates about which direction to take the group. But at the end of the day, we all want the same two things: good scanlations and more importantly - friends.
 
To us, scanlation is not just a hobby, it's a craft. We seek to perfect it.
 
Please thank the team for their incredible work hard. And if you have any questions about the group or staff, please post it here!

And finally, I would like to say that I am very proud to be a part of this group.
 
Now, I present you with the fruits of our long and arduous journey.

	(11/2) Stand Up! 0: MediaFire | 4shared | Read Online | About This chapter is where it all began. Utako is constantly plagued by thoughts of Harada Naoyuki, the popular boy who sits right next to her in class. She is troubled by how he acts "especially nice" towards her which she's afraid might lead to her mistaking it for something beyond wanting to be friends. But does Harada really wanted to settle with just friendship?
	(11/2) Sugars 9: MediaFire | 4shared | Read Online | About Marshmallows!? Perfect in time for Halloween. A super shy girl and the weird marshmallow boy. How can it get any stranger? An exciting scene where 3 guys pressure her, will she be saved by the marshmallow prince!?
	(11/2) Kanpeki Kareshi Kanojo 6: MediaFire | 4shared | Read Online | About Sweet forbidden love. An unwanted love, is now a yearned for love. Has she said too much? Will they ever talk again? Let's see how Suzu tries to make it up to her young, clever black-haired counterpart.
	(11/2) Ootagawa Junjou Lovers 2: MediaFire | 4shared | Read Online | About Diabetes infused chapter! Ogata is unusually concerned by one of his senpai's personal love life. It turns out that this senpai have helped Ogata greatly as a member of the baseball club. In return for his kindness, Ogata wonders how to get the girl who his sempai likes to notice him. How will he when he himself has zero experience concerning love? Who will he turn to for help?
	(11/2) Mairunovich 26: MediaFire | 4shared | Read Online | About Mairu remembers a quote that Tenyuu said "When you like someone, there's a brightness about that person." But Mairu says to herself "I might not be the only one who sees Naru in that brightness." What does she mean by this!? Read the chapter to find out.

Please spread the love!

A handful of HaruHime’s remaining staff wanted to make a subgroup to continue some of our favorite and beloved series. “Matteiru” in Japanese means “Waiting for you”, and now we're waiting for YOU to join us to work on projects that we all love =]

We are recruiting Japanese Translators, Editors, Proofreaders & Typesetter. (updated 02.16.2015) We are looking for people who will become dedicated and committed to our group in the long run. We prefer skilled recruits, but if you think you're good at the job then we urge you to try and apply anyway. (We may be able to train translators) Nonetheless, I am sure you will still learn a lot regardless of your skill level.

We also offer some special things for you! If you get accepted for one position, we can offer to train you in other positions that you're interested in.

NOTE! Editors, cleaners, re-drawers, and typesetters are required to use Photoshop.

NOTE! Positions which are grayed out are closed until further notice.
