Well, it is with great pleasure that I am finally able to release this. For quite some time now I’ve been trying to scanlate Hetakoi, but was unable to find a translator. After months of searching, I had all but given up. Thankfully, however, BighangingAddNine was able to find someone willing to work on this wonderful series.

Synopsis for new readers- “For his twentieth birthday, Shizuka chooses to go to a hot springs alone. To his surprise, he also ends up seeing his first naked woman… a passed out drunk girl. Soon afterward he enters college, and his friend from high school convinces him to join the female dominated travel and hot springs club. Amazingly, the girl he saw naked, Ruka, is also a member of the club! Now he must interact with his club more or less normally, and pretend he doesn’t imagine Ruka naked every time he sees her. He is determined that his embarrassing secret never be made public!” – Mangaupdates

Expect humor, ecchi, and tons of drama. Definitely worth a read, if you haven’t checked it out already.

So, you can grab Hetakoi from our IRC channel (!hk49), as always. Or, if you want to support the group that allows us to translate, go visit AddNine at their website - http://bidhangingaddnine.wordpress.com.

Regardless, I hope you all enjoy the chapter. Expect more of this series in the future.
