Hey, guys! After a year (yeah, you read that right), we’ve got a treat today for Asano Inio fans. Ctrl+T is his first artbook. Hotcakes translated one of the stories from Russian, but we have redone it from the JP raws. The artbook contains Haru yo Koi (a Solanin side story), Himawari, some extras from Oyasumi Punpun, and illustrations. If you are wondering how this release breaks down in the artbook, download the file and it will show that Haru yo Koi is pp.1-16, misc Punpun is pp. 39-44, 54, 74-76, 81+84, and Himawari is pp. 142-175. The release contains all of these in one file. We will not be releasing the middle of the artbook, which consists of illustrations. Trigger: !ctrlt
Special thanks: pizzach, who translated the cellphone news article on p0163, freijie, who helped with chapter 1 cleans, and Entropy, off of whom we grabbed the first three pages of text from for the Oyasumi Punpun section from v01 c01. (ie. A certain someone forgot to mention them in the credits.)
Now, we have a favour to ask of you all! Our backup with a bunch of our raws died (kono-basho), but our Dropbox has such a small amount of space, it’s basically useless as a host. We’d like to ask you to download and install Dropbox with our referral link so we can get more free space and have an easy way to host our files. This is risk-free, you can just delete it if you don’t want to use it though it’s quite useful since it just sits as a folder on your computer, and a free way for those who can’t donate or help with scanlating to help out! [ETA. Dropbox goal reached, thank you!]

As a Asano Inio fan, right now i’m in heaven. I already read the Solanin side story like 2 years ago but now that you have redone it from the jp raws it’s time to read it again ^^ Thanks to everyone involved in this release.

Alex, it’s quite different this time around so it’s definitely worth a reread. Hope you enjoy!

May I suggest that you start using Mega instead?
It offers 50 GB of cloud storage for free after registering and the download speeds are pretty awesome, I’ve managed to download at 1MB/s, which is the maximum my crappy connection allows, so it’s possible you can download at even higher speeds.

Did you scan the RAWs yourself or did you find them on the net? What I’m getting at is there any chance of ever seeing those illustrations or must we only be tormented by knowing they are so close but just out of reach…

@yetiyak: As you can see from the credits in the released file, Viscans was indeed the raw provider, meaning we purchased and scanned the artbook. We will not be releasing the middle sections of the artbook, which consists of illustrations, and encourage fans to purchase the artbook from various places (ex. online at kinokuniya or yesasia) if they desire to view more, thereby supporting the author.
