Just some thanks and requests
64Hey guys! Hope you enjoyed our blast of updates this weekend! We’re busy little bees in the September hivemind and are thrilled with every comment we get :D I’m taking a moment here to give some shoutouts about things that have been popping up:
Donations
You people are awesome to start with, and you people who are able to help us keep bringing you fun projects via financial contributions of any denomination are awesomer :D Every little bit helps us take more ‘risks’ on potential new projects, and while we’d still be doing just as much even if we had to pay out of our own pocket, having a little cushion definitely helps take the edge off, so THANK YOU!
Asking for Updates
However, awesome as donations are, asking us to update Project XYZ isn’t cool, guys :/ We’re a teeny tiny group who are all employed with full-time jobs, and scanlating is something we do for fun in our spare time. We try to take some of the pain out of the wait by letting people know to the best of our knowledge when something that’s serialized is going to come out, either via notes or tumblr or our FAQ section, so please avail yourself of those resources before asking us when the next chapter of XYZ is going to be released. Also, please don’t bug us about releases less than 2 weeks after the magazine comes out in Japan—sometimes it takes a while for us to get ahold of the magazine, or we’re busy with other more pressing projects, or a cleaner’s sick and it’s taking longer than usual to get something out. Scanlating takes a lot of work, especially if you want it to look nice, so please cut us some slack ^^; We’ve been getting more and more comments/questions about when a project is coming out, so save yourself some time and check out the resources above and just be patient :P
Recommendations for new authors or projects
We’re always happy to receive recommendations for the above, but with one caveat: we’re pretty full up right now and are quite picky in storyline and art (in other words: please don’t recommend one-shots or stories with rape :|). You’re welcome to leave comments over on our feedback page here, but please understand that the sheer size of our group means we have to be quite choosy with what we do, or we’ll get overwhelmed.
Doujinshi policy
We’ve also been getting a few comments/questions lately asking if we’re ever going to post more doujinshi for series XYZ, and we’d like to take the opportunity to clarify when we do doujinshi—which is ‘whenever we’re out of manga to scanlate’. Doujinshi are our fallback works, and while we have plenty we’d like to do, our manga series scanlations take priority, so we’ll typically only get to those after things have settled down.
Thanks for listening, guys, and as always: feel free to leave comments here if you have any questions :D
You guys are awesome. I think your scanlations are crazy fast, and I don’t know how y’all do it. XD Thank you!

I agree, you are awesome and fast and I can’t understand how you can get to do so much work being such a tiny group :D
So no question from my part either but all my thankful admiration ^^
Gaby(Quote) (Reply)
Does “thank you for your kind words” count? Since I’m really happy that you guys are busy with work and scanations yet still read our comments and feedback ^^ That’s very nice of you <3
Guess that I'll leave some recommendations for new authors or projects when I finish sorting my lists ;)
Have a wonderful week everyone!

Thank you guys for being so awesome, I don’t understand how you guys can be as fast as you are! XD it’s really incredible…

hugggssss
trinity(Quote) (Reply)
another big THANK YOU from my side :D
I also am overwhelmed by how fast you actually get out the releases!
I mean I subscribed to your updates and usually get a mail every 1 or 2 days, or even several times a day!
Since you actually ARE only a few people who also have a job and and a RL this fact is really admirable!
keep up your good work and thank you for spoiling us non-japanese speakers with all the good stuff ^^
bronakopdin(Quote) (Reply)
No questions but just a huge thanks! You guys scan great series at a really fast speed! :] I really appreciate what your guys’ hard works!! ^_^
Pu(Quote) (Reply)
Once again, thank you for the hard work you put into scanlating. I feel that you guys are incredibly fast and HQ so there’s nothing more I could ask for. Just, thank you as always. (:
Thao(Quote) (Reply)
Thanks so much for all of your hard work! I appreciate everything you guys do, seriously you guys are the BEST scanlations group out there!
Chandler(Quote) (Reply)
Just commenting to say I really appreciate your stance on manga containing rape; that shit is so common in BL it’s sickening. Also, thank you for all you do, as always :)
Jo(Quote) (Reply)
I’m a newcomer (and am so glad I’ve stumbled here) and have been lurking for a good month or so now, but never had it crossed my mind to ask you guys “when is xyz’s next chapter going to be released/scanlated?” or asking for specific manga/doujinshi to be scanlated. I am simply humbled enough by people like you guys who do this for free, and don’t ask “hey, pay up if you wanna read”. This applies to every scanlater group I follow. You won’t hear me complaining. m(_ _)m
And, don’t feel pressured to release things so quickly (at any point – stress is bad D:), because I am only saying this since you guys are indeed quite speedy. But, for whatever reason, your workflow trickles and slows, I have a feeling some people will comment on it due to them being used to the near constant updates.
Anyway, too good health and live to be the happiest you can everyday! (^_^)v

It honestly surprises me how many comments you guys get about asking for faster updates. September Scanlations always updates really fast, and you guys always bring us high quality scanlations. There’s only 2 or 3 people on the September team but your scans are much higher quality/update really fast compared to other scanlating teams who have many more members. None of us should be complaining, we should be thanking you guys a lot more!
Nana(Quote) (Reply)
You guys scanlate so fast, this is the first I’ve heard anyone would have the nerve to actually complain! As always, I appreciate all the hard work and efforts you put into doing this despite leading busy lives; for introducing us to new series and mangaka, for making sure the scanlations maintain high quality and for just miraculously putting out everything so fast (was pretty shock to see like three new posts in my e-mail the other day ;P).

You guys are Awesome. Have my Biggest thanks and support.
pankpinkponk(Quote) (Reply)
Hehe I’ve got absolutely no complaints about this group. You guys are fast, helpful, and you’re very devoted to what you do, it’s heartwarming. ^_^
I’ve learned of so man new mangaka, it’s really great, and your fast releases at excellent quality makes it all the better~<33
*hugs*
Thank you, you're the absolute best in more ways than one~<3
Scootie-chan~(Quote) (Reply)
I just want to say that I am SO GLAD that you guys don’t do stories with rape (or, not rape that isn’t taken seriously as a usually traumatic crime, often violent). I know that I can trust the stories you translate :)
Thank you for that!
keri(Quote) (Reply)
Been following various (12-15 or so) scanlating groups (most of which are no longer with us) for about…4 years now, I think. I have NEVER seen your like.
I like/love almost every series you choose to do.
I have discovered some GREAT new series and mangakas.
Your translations flow beautifully.
Your copies are so clean.
You are beyond ridiculously fast. ( I worry about burnout! ^_^)
Every time anyone puts work out into the world, there will be someone dissatisfied with it. It’s just part of the reality of “doing stuff.” *sigh*
Thank you for all that you do.
Rin(Quote) (Reply)
I just wanted to say that you guys always somehow pick projects that are right up my alley. ;w; You guys are awesome, hope everything’s working out irl!
Kuroku(Quote) (Reply)
We are most definitely happy when we see updates, but rest assured, we understand that RL always come first whenever, wherever, and whoever you are. To top it all that the crews are busy, hardworking women :D
September is the first scanlation team that I have followed so loyally since I first found it, and you guys also bring me realisation that there’re LOTS of great BL mangaka out there beside Nakamura (whose art I found as hilarious now XD).
And thank you so much for every free manga/doujin we can access (and understand) thanks to September! :D
rein(Quote) (Reply)
Thank you for all your hard work and sharing! I wholeheartedly appreciate you and all you do for us. Thank you for sharing with us. I never thank you enough, but I do deeply appreciate your scanlations and self-sacrifice for the love of manga. Thank you!

As always, thank you for all the high-quality work and super-speedy releases; I’ve been well and truly spoiled by September Scans. Thank you also for introducing us to so many great works and mangakas. To think that you guys work on this in your spare time instead of doing something less taxing…I’m really appreciative :)
Frou(Quote) (Reply)
You guys are already fantastic, what with the quality of your scans, the rate of updates, and so on. I’m just grateful you guys have done such a wonderful job. Thank you again!
mii(Quote) (Reply)
I’m glad you guys are strict with storylines. As time to time I do love seeing those ~*scenes*~, I wanna read those with story plots. Thank you guys for your hard work!
Mari(Quote) (Reply)
Looks like we took this space to profess our love for you *oh, also our gratitude* ;P
I really don’t think there’s room for anyone to complain, your work is practically flawless!
I mean, the quality is top-notch, as well as the translations, the kind of stories, and you’re FAST!
Honestly, I really really REALLY mean it when I say you’re AWESOME >w<
*I think your ongoing projects are the only ones I keep up with, you sort of give us that "certainty" that you'll see'em through; and doesn't getting us to feel that way mean you totally ROCK?* =3
I seriously appreciate everything you do! So I wish you the best from the bottom of my heart in EVERYTHING you do, too! ^w^/
Thank you very much, girls of September Scans (=

You guys are awesomely fast & chose really well ^^ I love all your scanlated titles.
Thank you for all your hard work & sharing, September team!
gwarp(Quote) (Reply)
You update so often, it’s a wonder that anyone HAS to ask for updates! I guess it’s for some specific manga. Your scanlations are always top quality and up really fast, thank you for that! We appreciate it so much. :)
I think it’s good that you’re picky about what you scanlate, because then we will always know that the stories you pick up are good quality. There is not a single title from you that I haven’t enjoyed!
Keep up the good work, and thank you so much for working hard for us. It really means a lot!

Your scans and translation are so awesome! I like how awesome the dpi they are with you and you guys always surprise me with how quick you guys update! I can’t catch up sometimes! (lol)
Anyhow, again! Thank you very much for the awesome work! -hugs tightly-
All the best to you! :3

First of all,thank you very very very very very very muchhhhhhhhh for your hard work!
you know you guys can use your spare time in other thing but you choose to share something you like with bl fans that have no clue in Japanese and I think that’s really cool.I love you guys works the most because I think we have the same taste XD(i’m really not into rape thingy) though sometimes I think words in bubbles are too small but never mind I have my glasses though XD
I use to be a fan sub before so I know how annoying when people keep asking when will the next ep come out,and most of them that have this behavior is not over 18(I did research it!)
so keep calm and keep up the good work!
I give you my heart♥♥♥
FrozenPizza(Quote) (Reply)
Oh my. Thank you for your wonderful work! I’m always impressed by speed and quality of your releases. I really, really love your choice of manga. XD So I thank you from the deep of my heart for your hard work. ^^
Hissori(Quote) (Reply)
No question here. Just want to say thank you for all of your hard works. You guys are amazing, even if busy in real life can still bring us some a lot of high qualities projects. Me really grateful ;-D.
Just keep at your own pace and not to be disturbed by any request for faster releases, hell, September Scanlations is the fastest group as far as I know. You guys rock!
tsuchitamago(Quote) (Reply)
Whoa, how can someone ask you for a faster release when you’re already crazy fast (especially considering the marvelous quality *_*) already? I’ve never loved a scanlation group as much as I love you guys, seriously! If I can, I would ship a truckload of valentine chocolate as a token of my gratitude to your doorstep lol. Thank you for your hard work guys!
Nectarine(Quote) (Reply)
I am always grateful with how amazingly fast you all scanlate all your projects and am very great full for all your hard work!!!
shadoq(Quote) (Reply)
Your work is very much appreciated and you release quickly! Don’t feel pressured by the people that constantly ask for the next release some of them are completely ridiculous (I’ve seem people ask for releases before it has even been released in the original country or the day that it comes out)
You put your own precious time and effort into these releases and honestly we can’t ask for more and are in no position to complain! Take as long as you want with your projects!
I’m sure most of us are completely satisfied with your work and are very grateful :)
Thank you very much
bibbien(Quote) (Reply)
You all are awesome!!
You always have a fast release, sometimes u even release 2 or more..
why are people still complaining??
Such ungrateful attitude
JessD(Quote) (Reply)
i think you guys deserve a standing ovation. i haven’t felt this close with any scanlations group before, but all your works are so high quality and FAST. you guys dont even give us any chance to complain! thanks so much!! super lovers, love stage, no.6, sekaiichi hatsukoi and yamamoto kotetsuko’s works are my top favorites from you! everything you pick is so great!
sera(Quote) (Reply)
You guys are so awesome for what you do!!! You are SO fast to! I have tried translating a book begore and it took forever. I’m just gonna say that you do a really good job! Don’t rush things, and keep up the amazing work<3 Thank you!! :3
Roocie(Quote) (Reply)
just wanna say that you’ve been taking it very nicely. I know some scanlation group took the nagging very offensive but you guys are really cool.
Respect!!

thank you so much for your work ! you’re so fast and awesome :)
Patatas(Quote) (Reply)
There’s no way I can complain about you guys!!!…Even if you were to release one chapter every month I would still be soooo grateful for all the effort you put to bring us amazing mangas without asking anything in return…and the fact that you release at least a chapter almost every day makes you even more awesome!!! (^_-)☆
So all I can say is THANK YOU!!! (^3^)-♥chu!!
lastun(Quote) (Reply)
I can’t really fathom who in their right mind would actually pressure you for releases. You’re like the fastest, bad-ass scanlation group I know and I’ve been browsing those for 10 years now.
So once again I’d like to thank you for the amazing job you do. You people seem sensible enough not to be bothered by fan demands so please continue not to be. After all if you don’t do it because you enjoy it there is no meaning in it.
Klenkagome(Quote) (Reply)
I have to agree with the others, how can anyone complain about you guys?! You do such a varied amount of works, and it’s always high quality and quite fast! Plus, you’re always upfront if it’ll take a while for something to come out or not! Thank you, SO much for all your hard work and all the time you all put in and I hope you all won’t be too bothered by those asking for updates (though hopefully this post will cut down on that!) and once again, THANK YOU for everything that you do! =D
Mango_Lassi(Quote) (Reply)
As many people here, I take this occasion to thank you so much for your hard work. I am shocked at how often comments like ‘where is xjy’s new chapter’ are published. I mean do people realise how much work it takes to scanlate a single chapter? I used to do translations for my friends and it takes so much time (and I didn’t even have to bother with scanning, editing etc. since it wasn’t manga) I’m actually really surprised you manage to update so often. And with great quality too!
As for your choice of stories, I truly appreciate that you don’t translate anything involving rape apologia, now I know I can trust any story you choose to translate! You also choose great stories to bring to us, like Yokozawa no baai and Puchitto Hajiketa which have become two personal favorites!
So thanks again so much for your hard work!

Damn right!!!! I think you guys do great , really great job already , we get new releases about every 2-3 days, so I am more than happy, and think lots of people agree, so do your best, we will be patient, and will look forward for each of your releases, I like all your projects, you are my favorite sc group!!!!
Thank you very much!!!!!

thank you you guys seriously are one of my fav groups! You never let me down!!!

Hi hi!! Honestly, I don’t understand why people would complain about all of you: You hard fast, very fast, bring us projects with super HQ, wonderful typesetting, great translation… you own it all!!. Only I have one thing to tell you: Thanks for so many amazing projects!! ^_^

I’m usually just a silent lurker downloading your releases, but wow – you’ve been amazing in the number of releases and keeping the/my BL appetite well-fed. Thank you so much for all that the SS team does and shares!

Nothing to say except for thank you guys so much for scanlating so many manga! Many of the works you guys have picked up have become my favorites! Really, thank you guys for working so hard and your quality scans! <3

Once again, thanks again for the hard work. I know it has probably been very difficult to keep up with scanlating and real life. So, once again, I love you lots. And thanks for keeping them coming
ashenta(Quote) (Reply)
we really shouldn’t make demands on people who are already working so hard & sharing their product with us… thanks for everything!
jetchan(Quote) (Reply)
I’m actually surprised that you get requests asking for faster updates! I mean, your FAQ page states you’ll have updates within two weeks of release in Japan and you’re rarely (if at all!) missed that deadline. Of all the scanlating groups whose works I follow, you’re by far the most time efficient and never have any drop in standard. You give us fans plenty of notice if there’s any change so I don’t understand why patience cannot be practiced by the minority.
I marvel and thank you for your dedication to bringing us lucky fans these brilliant manga!
Romey(Quote) (Reply)
Thank you for the hard work! I don’t have any questions about your updates because you guys come out with new chapters so fast. I love your projects and I leave the choosing in your more than capable hands.
donhisiewen(Quote) (Reply)
Asking you guys “when the next chapter of XYZ is going to be released?” NO WAY
I always feel that kind of question is kinda rude, ’cause it feel like you’re pushing somebody to do something FREE for you, it’s not nice at all
Beside you guys are really fast (I mean it), I wonder how you can do that when you’re a teeny tiny group like you said, and I know scanlating is not an easy job at all
So thank you so much for bringing such amazing things to us. LOVE YA <3
sammy9301(Quote) (Reply)
You guys are honestly my favourite scanning group and not just because the projects you pick are always so damn awesome. It’s because you are fast, high quality, efficient and reliable. I wish other groups would learn from you guys. I don’t expect all groups to be able to release every few days like you but it always breaks my heart when I see groups picking up new projects when there are ones on their back-burner that haven’t been updated in over 6 months (when I know they have the scans). It happens way too often as well. I have never and will never bug a group for releases, as a leech I don’t feel I have the right to say anything to them. Anyway, long story short, some groups make me sad but September makes me happy. Every time you post a new release it instantly makes my day. Thank you! XD
Annie(Quote) (Reply)
I am always thankful for your hard work and the effort you make to give us our scans. I really appreciate it. I also am thankful for the artisits and stories you send our way. I am always content and happy with whatever you pass our way! Like Annie, I really do LUV the way you stick with a project and finish it. It makes it more fulfilling to accomplish a storyline.
RedNails(Quote) (Reply)
On a random note: Gosh, I love you guys. There’s just no way that I can ever say this enough. Here I was thinking I was the only fujoshi alive who doesn’t care much for stories with rape in them, and then you go and say something like that. :) Needless to say that I’m also a little picky about my yaoi. At least I know for certain that I can expect to see things more to my personal taste here.
Money —>donated~! Albeit funds given under a different pen, but… well… *ahem* Semantics and all that! ^^’
Thanks again, guys!
