Thank you, but I don’t really have a strong preference! I’d rather avoid releasing too often or not often enough to please most of my readers. I know someone that messaged me evidenced a preference for the larger batch releases, so I was just curious if more shared their feelings.
Anonymous asked: I really hope more people would know this series, it's as good as Kaiji but more about how the economy and politic works together, and how Loan Sharks declares King in the world of materialistic.
It’s interesting you would mention that, because when I started reading the first volume of Gin to Kin, I’m pretty sure I thought to myself, “Oh, it’s about those assholes that keep on stealing Kaiji’s money.” The scope widens considerably as the series goes on to encompass, as you said, politics and the economy and how money in general can be wielded as a weapon to gain influence in both those spheres.

You’re welcome! Thank you for reading it!
Anonymous asked: Keep up the good work!
Thank you! When I get discouraged, sometimes I think, “Well, I took a huge chunk out of it for the next translator…” but then I think, “That’s bullshit, finish what you’ve started!” So I’m in this for the long haul.
Anonymous asked: Great to see this series getting some appreciation, thank you for all your effort!
It’s great to see people enjoying the fruit of my labor! Gin to Kin is a product of its time, but I think because of how the sense of “recession” pervades much of the series, it has a new resonance for countries and people in those countries that are struggling with their own recessions currently?
Anonymous asked: Good pick for translating. I admit I don't know where this story devolves to but I'm really looking forward to it. Live long and well -AnonymousIIII
I’m glad to know you’re enjoying it! If you haven’t been spoiled, you’re in for quite a ride as Morita climbs the ladder to becoming a villain. The arc we’re in is a favorite for many people.
