Naki no Ryuu Chapter 13

At last, a long overdue chapter of Ryuu. The Ishikawa arc keeps on going.

Thanks to Penchan for the cleaning and typesetting. Both of us were more busy than expected during the holidays, which is why this chapter was so delayed. Hopefully we can get back on schedule now that things are mostly back to normal.

Mukoubuchi Chapter 5

Terribly sorry for the delay, Mukoubuchi chapter 5 is now up! We'll be doing Mukoubuchi once a week until we catch back up. In this chapter, we join a cabaret owner who is being forced to play mahjong with terrible odds against Yakuza! Can he come out ahead? And will the mysterious Kai play a role?

Thanks to Penchan for the cleans and to Tambur for the typesetting!

Naki no Ryuu Chapter 11

A new chapter of The Crying Dragon is here. Sorry for the delay (though I'm not too sorry since it was just a day, and we're doing it for free).

Thanks to Penchan for the cleans and typesetting. His exam season is starting once again in earnest, so the next couple of chapters will be similarly delayed.

Download

I just realized that the download links are going to be all out of order just because I forgot to put zeros in front of the first 9 chapters...oh well. In the end people will download the volumes, which won't have that problem since there's only 9 of them.

Mukoubuchi Chapter 4

Mukoubuchi 4 is now up! In this chapter, we join a man named Kogure who is saddled with a huge debt and needs to win it back tonight no matter what! Can he make it past the mysterious Kai?!

Thanks to Sonickrazy for the translations and Penchan for the cleans.

Chapter Link

 "Lifeless money may never return across the table." 

Naki no Ryuu Chapter 10

At last, we're back with another chapter of Ryuu. Just in time for "not Thanksgiving."

I'm thankful for Penchan, who did the cleaning and typesetting as usual. This chapter is a littler later than usual because I forgot to send him the translation until the last minute. My bad!

Mukoubuchi Chapter 3

Mukoubuchi's back! In this chapter, Mizuhara Yuuta's woes continue. Can he figure out how to win in east-only games? And will he be able to play the mysterious gambler, Kai?!

Chapter Link

"I've got it! East-only games aren't all about quick, cheap wins!!"

Naki no Ryuu Chapter 9

After a slight delay, it's time to start volume 2 of The Crying Dragon. Unfortunately, we will not be releasing a chapter next week, as it's exam season and Penchan is currently very busy. If I get the time I might fill in the gap with something else, though don't count on it.

Thanks to Penchan for the cleans, typesetting, and redrawing of digital photographs. There's a fair number of them in this chapter, so I definitely appreciate the good work he does.

Also special thanks to Celysus for inspiring me to translate this. I'm gonna remind you guys every volume because it's important to me.

Naki no Ryuu Chapter 8 and Complete Volume 1

Yup, we're a full volume into Ryuu now. Only 8 more to go.

Mukoubuchi Chapter 2

Another chapter of our newest series, Mukoubuchi, is now up! In this chapter, Mizuhara Yuuta and Yasunaga Ban go gamble at a mahjong parlor, and Yuuta discovers that gambling is very different from playing professionally!

Thanks to Tambur for the typesetting and to Penchan for the cleans!

"When you gamble, play with your own money. Play with other peoples' money and you'll spiral down to Hell."

Naki no Ryuu Chapter 7

Hot off the presses, it's another scanlated chapter of Ryuu.

Thanks to Penchan for the cleans, typesetting, and some rigorous proofreading this time.

There are chapter spoilers in my rambling this time, so don't read past the jump until you've read the chapter.

Naki no Ryuu Chapter 6

Here's the next Ryuu. Thanks to Penchan for the cleans and typesetting.

Mukoubuchi Chapter 1

Hey everyone! The winner of the FKMTkrazy mahjong tournament, Ricu, chose to let me translate Mukoubuchi, one of my favorite mahjong manga ever! I said I'd only translate one volume of it, but I feel like I'll probably have to do at least 2 volumes since it does get off to a bit of a slow start. This chapter only has a hint of the craziness that's yet to come!

Thanks to Penchan for the cleans and to Tambur for typesetting.

Chapter Link

"Terribly Sorry. I've drawn it."

Naki no Ryuu Chapter 5

Here's the next chapter of The Crying Dragon. If we release one chapter a week, we'll be done on January 27, 2017. To put that in perspective, I bet Akagi won't be done by then, so I'm not concerned about it.

Thanks to Penchan for the cleans and typesetting. Things are finally getting serious, so thanks to everyone that's stuck with this series and its rather slow start.

Naki no Ryuu Chapter 4

Another week, another chapter. Things are finally starting to get serious.

Thanks to Penchan for the cleans and typesetting.

Download Chapter 4

Stay after the jump for my brief commentary.

Naki no Ryuu Chapter 3

Another chapter of Ryuu is upon us. It looks like Friday may become the de facto day for Ryuu, just because I've coincidentally released a new chapter three Fridays in a row. Penchan is a very prolific editor though, so if I can keep up we may be able to go even faster than weekly.

Obviously, thanks to Penchan for the cleaning, typsetting, and these dope credit pages.

Download Chapter 3

Naki no Ryuu Chapter 2

Another chapter of Ryuu is here. This chapter is where things start to pick up, and is not so coincidentally the starting point of the OVA series. The awkward sex scenes also go away after this chapter, so don't drop it just yet!

Thanks to Penchan for cleaning, typesetting, and putting up with my constant late changes.

New Project: Naki no Ryuu

Denji here. You may know me as the translator of The New Kurosawa for FKMTkrazy. Well, I'm here to give the highly neglected Mahjongkrazy branch even more love, because I've started translating the hotly-anticipated Naki no Ryuu. The title means "The Crying Dragon," but it's also a pun, since the word "naki" means "to call a tile" (don't believe that MAL description that says it means ron, it doesn't).

Download Chapter 1

A big thanks to Penchan for volunteering to clean and typeset the series. He's done a very good job with the horrid public scans that are out there.

A special thanks to my best friend Celysus as well, who was the one that convinced me to start this project. At the beginning of 2014 I started translating things for the first time, and told him that I'd translate anything he wanted. He said Naki no Ryuu, so I dived in. However, I wasn't good enough at the time, and I could barely understand it. I tried going through and revising my scripts on and off for quite a while, slowly correcting things that I had newly learned. Finally, when Penchan contacted me about the project a couple weeks ago, I made a last revision where I finally felt confident that I understood everything.

Anyways, after the jump I'll talk a bit about the story. I don't have much to say, but from time to time I might make some notes.

Tetsuya, chapters 22 and 23, and volume 3 batch.

Hey you damn punks, since Skutieos got sent to the shadow realm, here's the two last chapters of volume 3.

Read the chapters on Batoto here.

Download chapters 22 and 23 here.

And finally, download the entire volume 3 here.

With that, I've finished Volume 3, and I still don't have a stable release schedule, so from now on I'll try to start uploading on either fridays or saturdays.

A revival of MahjongKrazy/Tetsuya, after a few years of nothing.

Good evening, you damn punks.

In case you haven't noticed already, I started updating Tetsuya about 3 weeks ago, since Skutieos dissapeared without a trace after winning a deadly match of Mahjong against the Long Dong Zaibatsu's rep player, Juan.

I started translating from where Skutieos left off, volume three, chapter 15, and I've done up to chapter 21.

You can read the chapters I've already done on Batoto by clicking here.

Or, if you'd rather download them, click here.

Translating from Japanese to English was kinda tough, especially since neither are my main languages. I felt like sometimes the dialogue came off as a bit stiff because of that, I hope that's not the case. This is the first thing I've ever translated, so give me your thoughts about the chapters, be it good or bad.

Remember to check the MahjongKrazy blog every once in a while, or follow Tetsuya on Batoto, I'll be posting chapters whenever I can get a few done.

You can also join MahjongKrazy, if you feel like helping us out in some way. Right now I could use some redrawers more than anything else.

I'll talk about the chapters for a bit down here, so read them first if you don't wanna get spoiled.
