Yup, Silent Sinner finished up as of this month. Along with the side story, Cage of Luntatic Harigate.

Inaba of the Earth and Moon should be about to end as well since it is also part of the Silent Sinner saga.

So yeah, it's done.

CiLR's (Cage of Luntatic Harigate? What?) last chapter it seems is divided into two parts. The other half is probably next month.

As for Inaba, my guess is that it'll run up to chapter 25 if not 23. Then again, it's a 4koma and the tankobon for that is coming in August. I somehow doubt it'll end with just one compilation. At least 2 maybe.

I like SSiB!

But then again I haven't read from chapter 15 onwards.

Ehhh, it was all right. With the ending balanced against, um, the Mary Sueness of the Watatsukis, that is.

Pretty much sums it for me, shame it won't be the last of Aki Eda.

Meh, I'm still rather disappointed with how it ended, I've kept up with it and then all of a sudden I don't see the battle I was hoping for. I feel like someone just kicked me in the nads and stole my lunch money (which in this case is the time I put into actually reading it).

But, everyone thinks it's lolz that the Watatsuki's got duped so I don't think it's my place to complain.

Yep, it doesn't end yet. It's the suspense.

It DID end better than I was expecting so props to ZUN for that, but overall the whole thing was kind of a waste of time, I feel like. Also, it could've been less than half the length with the same content.

Also it could've been drawn by Not Aki Eda.

I agree with you. As much as I like her stuff, I don't think she's capable for this kind of doujin.

The translation project itself never stopped, the problem was the editor was nowhere to be seen and it continued to be "reserved" for her, that said, I believe the editor has finally shifted and progress will start once more.

As for the end, it's been posted all over. Yuyuko ends up stealing the Moon Sister's sake, that's about it.

The "Second Lunar War" was just a diversion so that Yukari could do what she does best- messing with someone. Although there was that part about needing a rope to bind Kanako but I can't remember if anything came out of that. Also Yuyuko went on a shopping trip.

Thx to you all for that. I've only got up to 15 and didn't see it anywhere else so I thought it wasn't finished yet. Still aren't pretty much all the Touhou games like a waste of time? The situation gets resolved and some new characters are added. Strange though, It'd seem like it would get repetitive but it doesn't; and that's what I love about Touhou (Besides the danmaku)  ;D

I love her art, personally. She did my favorite drawing of Remilia.

they dun like Aki eda for funny reasons, mostly due to her funny ending of SSiB.

haha. i see. but wasn't the story written by ZUN? she just drew it out right? That wouldn't be a good reason to not like her art wouldn't it?
Really its too bad it isn't translated. i read all the way up to chapter 15 just now and needlessly searched for the rest. I guess i'll read Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the EArth then. That looks like its finished....i hope

Hmmm.

I'd say it's the fact that the entire cast has about three faces between them, and the short-haired characters, apart from details like Marisa's braid and Yorihime's ponytail, have approximately three hairstyles between them. I mean ... yeah, I know, Only Six Faces (warning, TVTropes, etc), but this turns it up to eleven. She also insists on not drawing Marisa wearing her hat for no explicable reason.

To put it another way, the character designs seem ... bland. (Compare with Clash House (artists of Strange and Bright Nature Deity), or even VISIONNERZ.) Sort of like she's playing dressup with "paper dolls" instead of making destinct characters.

I agree. While I like her art style, it would've been nice if she had put a bit more effort into adding more variety to each character's facial features.

This is getting really annoying. Still no one wants to finish translating it, or rather the person that was supposed to probably doesn't even remember she was supposed to translate it. :P

Well really we're just waiting for Arsen to finish Chapter 16. Once she finishes that, she's dropping the project, and giving it to Nietz for the rest, who I think we all know will work on this much more quickly and is much more reliable =/.

Another one for the "I actually liked SSiB!" list here... Such a shame the scans stop just before the chapter that I really want to read (three guesses as to why).  Oh well, them's the breaks, patience is a virtue and all that...

Also, I'd argue against the Watatsuki's being called Mary Sues (because really, they're not), but no-one would listen to me.  Sigh... I'll just go and sit in the "I actually like the Watatsukis!" corner by myself...

Huh, really? That's interesting, because that's always been my complaint about Clash House -- everyone has the same face and one of two hairstyles in front. (Straight-cut bangs and uneven bangs.) In a closeup and with clothes/accessories out of the picture, I don't think I could ever tell a difference between Marisa, Alice, and Sunny Milk in SaBND.

That said, Aki Eda's art definitely has its ups and downs. I think she draws really cute characters, but she's pretty bad at blocking and proportion and such. Besides the above, I've seen a lot of complaints about her work in action scenes and scenes with a lot of people.

As for chapter 16... half of it's been edited since February. Arsen is coming back, right? Thank goodness for text translations, at least.
