Some of my thoughts....

2011-10-11T00:22:00.001+07:00

Today I may post a long post to share you guys about my thoughts. So bear with me if you wanna read. If not just grab the chapter :D

SweetSense was found in 2008 consist 1 member [that is me].

The only responsibility I take and will always keep [and I promised] when creating this group is I won't drop the manga series that I choose to release. It's been more than 3 years and I'm still keeping this promise so I'm happy.
There had been members joined and then left because of my laid back style of releasing. And that's why I'm afraid of getting more members join as well.
So actually now SS has only 2 members - me and Oksana.

I know this might be not good for any manga readers who cannot read raws.
But SweetSense group's priority isn't scanlating manga [even if we're a scanlation group]. So there's never a fix schedule to release like other groups. And if you guys ever follow us, since 2008, there's always time gap [months and months] before a mass release again. And that's why I have no intentions on fighting who will do what as I said in the past with other groups.
I totally understand the frustrations....
And I don't know what to say, since I can't promise a fix schedule or anything at all.
I just want everyone to know why. Even if you can't understand for us.
And why there isn't post in our blog. I mean, this is a scanlation group. I see no point in rambling unless I have / soon have chapters to release or something related to manga to post. If you know what i mean :)
It's not really a personal blog ... But that's just my thoughts. And probably that's why others assume we're dead....erm.....I guess it isn't wrong to assume we're dead anyways. But if we're actually dead, I'll definitely let you know....

Lastly, I received email about co-operation on releasing Bara no tameni with H2O group. And I absolutely love the idea. So unless something changes, you guys will get more bara no tameni ! Yay!

I'm dead tired.......

2011-09-16T17:32:00.002+07:00

........after editing 100 pages from Sunadokei....
Why didn't she make each chapter shorter :-s
Anyways, enjoy.
It's the end of volume 6 now. We're moving to volume 7. I'm so excited. From volume 7, Sunadokei is much more interesting than the other previous volumes. At least it's my point of view :) Well at least from volume 7 onward, it's becoming more like josei than shoujo :D you know, without so much tears each chapter blah blah XD
Anyways, It's 100 pages so i'm sure it'll ease your thirst for Sunadokei. That is if you even have one :))

2011-09-14T23:57:00.001+07:00

2011-09-13T04:19:00.002+07:00

^_^ ehehe. Good morning. (Oh it's 4 AM here so....)
Awww, in this chapter, now the secret is out ^_^

This release marks the end of volume 9.
I promise volume 10 will be release really soon....REALLY!!! This time for real! Just wanted to let you know that it wont be another year to get to volume 10 ^_^ ehehe. Anyways, enjoy <3. [Just to let you know why I'm in hurry to finish volume 10. Did you know I have the translation for the first chapter of volume 10 about 2 years ago... @_@ OH MY GOSH. Everytime I look at it, I feel ashamed because I wasn't able to work on it for 2 years. Hehe but now i'm happy that i've come this far :P]. Let's try hard to finish this project soon.

Sunadokei fans...I know you guys've been waiting patiently. It's just that .... the amount of time for editing Sunadokei takes about 2x times for editing Bara no tameni / Umi yori mo fukaku / Koucha ouji. :O So yes....But i'll try my best to get volume 6 done by the end of the year. Now that i'm motivated again :D

there, my rambling again. ~ Hope you don't mind. :D

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

2011-01-10T17:06:00.000+07:00

Another year has arrived !!!! Yay !!!!

SweetSense staff hope you will have another wonderful year full of sweet and happy memories :)

Once again, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Sekigae Game

2010-11-30T19:03:00.000+07:00

Today we have a new oneshot. Hope you enjoy it. It's kind of different from our normal style but a change of wind is needed to bring fresh air, right?! Enjoy :)

The oneshot is called "Sekigae Game" - Changing Seats Game ^_^

Description:

(oneshot from Cheese furoku “Seifuku no Kiss”)

Tamami is shy, clumsy and slow at everything. Everybody around her and Tamami herself think that she is good for nothing. That’s why Tamami can’t believe that Mitsui-kun, cool and good-looking guy from her class, likes her. It must be some kind of misunderstanding. Or is it not?

We're not dead

2010-05-23T02:17:00.000+07:00

We don't have a release today. But I just want to inform everyone that apparently SweetSense is NOT DEAD.
Release might be really slower than usual (i know i know, we're already really slow and now we even go slower T_T I know, it's like WTH right?).
But I hope you guys can wait. Everyone is on hiatus so there's barely someone to work on any projects.

You know what?
I've just realized that SweetSense just passed the 2 years anniversary last month.
[30.4.2008 & 30.4.2010]
And I didn't realized it until today.
To be honest, I just couldn't believe it. With a very few people and we manage to live 2 years already. That's just amazing - at least for me. I just feel like last year I'd just released chapter to happy 1 year anniversary, and now it's already been 2 years. Too bad there's no cake nor treats but I just want to post something just to, you know, congrats this site. Lol. We've been through so much changes. But I'm glad I'm still able sticking around with SweetSense group. :)

Hope everyone will have a good weekend.

Happy New Year

2010-01-02T09:09:00.001+07:00

Yes, Happy New Year everyone.
Hope everyone will have a wonderful year ^_^
Sorry that our group has been inactive lately. All of staff members are way too busy with life. And of course life has to come first before scanlation. We all agree with that, don't we?
As for me myself, I have two final exams coming in Jan 6th and Jan 9th, so i'm not free either T_T Oh well >"<
Anyways, for the new year release, here's Sunadokei chapter 5 v5. I know a lot of people have been waiting for Sunadokei. It's pretty much our main project after all :D I hope you'll enjoy it.

I planned to release more than 1 but maybe not. Everything is 3/4 done but somehow I cannot manage to finish off that 1/4 remaining O_o Sorry to people who have been waiting for Umi yorimo, Koucha Ouji, and Bara no Tameni. Well, at least you know we have the translation ready and maybe i'll put up the translations for everyone like we did with Hajime-chan ga ichiban v1c1. But i didn't get very much good responses from that way so probably we'll keep the traditional way of releasing. Oh well.

Anyways, enjoy :)

Summary: After being dumped, followed closely by her grandmother's sudden death, the chubby Yuri is left broke and homeless. That is until she discovers that her grandmother had been lying to her for years. Her mother is not dead, but is in fact a famous movie star, and very much alive.
Upon arriving at her mother's house, she meets her three new beautiful siblings, all from different fathers. Her newfound family is filled with hilarious oddities, ranging from laziness to drunkennes to gay incest. She is constantly antagonized by her brothers Sumire and Aoi. And her sister Fuyou does little to help. And thus Yuri becomes little more than a maid in the household, catering to her siblings needs while her mother travels the world. But as Yuri's warmth fills the house which before had been so cold...what will happen between her and her brothers? Can they come to see each other as siblings before it's too late?

The series received the Shogakukan Manga Award for shōjo in 1994.

FAQ [update 13/2/2010]

2009-03-09T05:39:00.005+07:00

About SweetSense:

SweetSense only do low quality scans. That means, I only translate to make things understandable. Other factors like perfect grammar, nice translation, nice editing images aren’t included. Why you ask? That’s because I leave those works for a company who wants to sell this manga. All of that to encourage people to go buy a legal version of the manga.
Although as of today (13 Feb 2010) - we have proofreaders who PR chapters for us - but still don't expect us to do high quality release. Everything is just for better understanding of manga rather than higher quality.

SweetSense’s chapters are different with original chapters.

Contact me at: SweetSense87@gmail.com or leave a comment.

About Hosting my projects:

I always allow people to host what i’m scanlating, so you will get permissions. But please notice me of your hosting. Also, please only host my projects after a period of 3 days after release day (for reading online or adding mirrors).

Use my links if you want to add any other mirrors on your site.

Provide a link back to my site.

That’s all ^^ thanks for reading and I would really appreciate it if you follow them. Thank you!
Currently, sites can host my projects are:

All other sites don't have permission yet. And if I find one site that hosting my projects without notifying me, I'll delay the releases for a LONG period of time ~ so please co-operate.

About Release:

I don’t restrict people not to ask when will the next chapter out - but I can’t say it clearly when because releasing time depends on other factor (mainly is staff's free time) - but as for now, probably one release per month.

Leave comments pls. I love to read, and I read every single comments ^^ So yah, enjoy this place as a home and write about anything you want. It would encourage us so much to work on release faster than usual (lol)
As an update on February 13th 2010, all releases will be updated directly on main page. There will be notice if they are released in forum.
