The official S.A.S Blog

Somehow we managed to return from our hiatus just on time. We really have been struck, after finally finding new Raw-Providers, our main Translator left, then after finding new Translators, most of our “usual” staff were way to busy and all of a sudden our Typesetters except for one went on a break. However things are starting to look bright again…

Well cutting to the chase, we are regrouping and could also need some new helping hands. Most urgent would be a Typesetter (or even two); though another Proofreader and Cleaner wouldn’t hurt either. Not much is required just some appetite on working on Manga and access to Photoshop CS (or higher). You will learn the rest from us in a jiffy. Also its not much regarding workload, kinda one to two chapters per month. We will focus mainly on Ageha and Steins;Gate from now on; but we still have a few things stuck in the pipelines, like some ready Cleans and PRs for typesetting or TLs for proofreading, so anyone interested in bringing things along just apply (also see our new “Latest Status” in the sidebar for more details on the progress of your favorite Manga).

Anyways, as for now, enjoy these great Manga. Ageha is as awesome as always. Steins;Gate is getting even more intriguing so if ya haven’t yet and like Sci-Fi give it a try. And Wild School has its typical charm which makes one laugh a lot. Have a nice read:

On other news we managed to find some great raw support for certain our projects. If any of you are in the same spot and in dire need for some raws, try to contact these guys: http://www.rawdistro.net
They are doing a real great job. This also means of course that we will be able to bring you soon more from Ageha and co, so stay tuned.

Besides that, as you see we changed our webpage a little, hope you like it. This also indicates the changes we went through. You can prepare for a few nice surprises to come…

Grab the release in our irc channel by typing !tough101 and !tough102 or just check the botlists.

On the news side, while Tough is still doing good some other projects have trouble.

As you can see at the MH site, Lequios didn’t have any raw updates since a while, we also talked with the first chapter raw provider, but he doesn’t have any more either. So if anyone can provide more raws or knows anything just contact us. Till then we cant continue obviously.

Ageha and Taboo-Tattoo are both monthly, as soon as latest raws are available (shouldn’t be a problem for these two) we will bring them to you (you can see status at MH as well).

For Baka and Boing, as said, we wait for the Tankobon/Volume 03 raws. But that should work out, since the provider is very reliable.

Also on a side note, a friend of a partner group got his hands on TriageX Volume 01 and started to scan it, despite being busy. Which means, just a matter of time till we release.

Now then, for online-reader fans, you can find the whole Tough series, on manga.animea.net or what we suggest on Manga.Animevibe.net.

For the fans interested in downloading and archiving releases, the best option is still IRC, but you can get direct download links at stoptazmo.com (They don’t have latest stuff though); and at mangatraders.com (You need to register in order to download, but it’s all free). Of course, you can also find direct download links for whole volumes on this site at the specific project page here.

On IRC, you can grab all the chapters (as well as the volumes subdivided into chapters) in our channel #s.a.s. Botlists are here. And the channel, #lurk, has a complete archive here. For bot-listing, just use one of the search-engines they offer (read topic).

Remember to support the Mangaka by buying the Manga in English or any other preferred language when it is released (in your local area).

This should cover your Tough Manga desires, have fun…
