R.I.P. FKMTkrazy Blog, 5/24/11 - 1/22/20

As I'm sure you have already noticed, the vast majority of the posts on this blog have been taken down and reverted to draft status. This is because Takeshobo, the publisher of most of Fukumoto's mahjong manga, issued a DMCA takedown through "Comeso GmbH". We at FKMTkrazy are devastated by this action, and we will be looking into other ways to continue our passion of translating Fukumoto's amazing series, whether through uploading them directly to Mangadex or by utilizing a different platform to announce our releases. But in any event, we cannot use Blogger any longer, meaning the end of our heartfelt blog posts about the series. I personally am worried that it may also jeopardize our ability to scanlate in general, as after the recent suing of Cloudflare by Takeshobo, it seems that they are cracking down on uploads of their series all together. After the takedowns have concluded, I might consider removing the links to the chapters and reposting the posts just for the contents of the blog itself. But it seems it is too dangerous now to continue doing this as we have been for any longer. I am open to suggestions for what we should do now.

No Chapter today

Hey. Just letting everyone know early today that I've been sick all week with a serious cough from breathing in smoke and dust, and I wasn't able to do any work on Kaiji whatsoever. To make matters worse Tambur also woke up this morning with a cat clawing at his face and wound up with a serious injury to his left eye so he might need stitches depending on how bad it is. Hopefully we can recover in time for a release next week but well see. Prayers for Tambur!

...No Kaiji today either...

I'm sorry everyone but we just couldn't get 334 ready on time for a release today. Tatts has his version of the chapter complete so if you need to read it feel free to message him on the Discord and maybe he'll send it to you. But my dad's funeral is today and I wasn't in any state of mind to do any work on it whatsoever. As a matter of fact, I might be heading to rehab for alcohol abuse, if so I'll need a month off since they don't allow access to the internet or any outside communication. We'll see if Denji or Tatts could fill in while I'm gone, or if we'll just have to go on complete hiatus. I love you all, please understand what I'm going through.
