I'm Busamen! by Yukue Moegi
Chapter 4: MEGA / MEDIAFIRE

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!! WE'RE 6 AND COUNTING!!

Damn, we're getting old aren't we...?

None of what we've posted until now could have been done without our old members.
You already know them, they've sticked around for some time already and I consider them as friends:
- Rabi: she's been there from the start, without her no Ikemen, she eventually became a close friend.
- Loulou: talented translator and writer, adds a hint of magic to anything she touches! Helped me a bunch when I thought the load of work would've killed me.
- Arashi: Our main and sole proofreader. English expert working at lightning speed. Super precious, patient (I swear I still can't into basic English grammar <_<), and reliable member... I've worked her hard these past weeks for the batch of releases and she hasn't sent me death threats yet! Thanks dear <3

And new members!!
- Kirie Fairie, translated single handedly SEVERAL VOLUMES of BL series in a matter of weeks, dedicated, fast and super nice, really glad she's with us <3 Responsible for Mother's Spirit and Shinobeba Koi happening, and tomorrow's release among others.
- Antypie, currently translating a dear project to us coming soon (SURPRISE, SURPRISE~!), a gentle soul and a great addition to the team! I can't wait to release the series she's working on! <3
- Toshiro Dragon: offered her help when I didn't ask for it but really needed it, scanned some books for us even when she was struck by illnesses and irl... She's so nice I even felt bad for making her work! But I'm really glad she helped anyways!
- Lechelecheism: Our only cleaner ~~with me~~, real BL lover, really nice girl and very dependable. Can clean a chapter/doujin in the blink of an eye and asks for more!! I'll get back to you soon dear, I've been swamped with irl.
I'm happy you've joined us you guys!

Thanks a lot to all of our temp and past members as well, and to all the groups we've done joints with!

And if I may add a little something myself...
Ikemen started as a scanlation team focused on LOVEPOTIONNO.9's Hetalia djs, and Terra e... djs. Well... We evolved into a manga + djs scanlation team, something I've always dreamed of and never even hoped to achieve. And yet we did. This hasn't been a calm and easy journey, but we did it. Hence why I'm so proud.

We couldn't have come this far without your continued support guys, so thank you, for being awesome readers <3
Even if I don't reply to every comment, be sure I read all of them and always apreciate your thanks, opinions or advice. ~~You make me so happy sometimes I'd just want to suck all of your imaginary dicks as thanks!~~ <- (crude)

Finally, this past year has probably been the toughest, worst year of my whole life (I'm speaking irl stuff), even though you wouldn't necessarily know because [not my personal blog], and I want to say to all of you, team members and comment makers, you have participated in helping me save myself one little step at a time.
Yeah, Ikemen means a lot to me, so does all of you.
So when I say I love you all I mean it!
Ok, gonna stop here, it's becoming prettyawkwardembarrassing...

Tomorrow is the start of an unexpected series! Try to guess, I'm sure you won't find what it is...
I hope you'll like it, it'll be a long ride!
*Bisous Bisous* <3
