The start of volume 2, and what a start is it... XD

Asami == awesoem... nuff said ;)

This is not relating to this series, but we are looking for translators who are highly motivated ;) and are either resonably experienced with Chinese to English trans, or prefrably, Japanese to English trans. If you, or someone you know is interested, just PM a staff member on the forums.

Then again... what group ISN'T looking for more translators... ;P

True Quality, with covers, extras, win, good, etc...

Not to mention the better editing and minor corrections... GET IT NAO!!! (Support the authors of the works you love~~ <3)

Took us long enough... x_x

FINALLY SOME REKKU!!!

And an awesome chapter at that, even if it is just a wee bit random ;)

The conclusion of School Days, Our FIRST completed series!!! This is also our 100th submitted release on Manga Updates, which makes it even more awesome!!!

Over 100 releases in a little more than two years, not bad if I say so myself... ^^ (yeah we kinda missed our anniversary >> its my fault)

Well, anyway ENJOY the Final Chapter of School Days~~

Ohhhhh, you know you want it~~~ XP

Maby more on the way? hmm I wonder... ;)

We here at XLG can neither confirm nor deny that the release of much HotD greatness is soon to be upon us...

Oh and who agrees that the teaser pic chosen for lucky star 20 fails miserably? Wow that was a bad choice on my part XD.

These news posts sure have been short recently... ;)

As always, ENJOY THE RELEASE!!!

Nope, no April fools here... :P

(unless you count that irc topic thing... >_>)

let the games begin...

Sooooooooooooooooooooo yeah get it nao ^^

No, its not any special holiday or anything, but hey, since we missed ALL of January, (more on that below) we figured that making it this far into February (without serious issues) calls for a celebration!!!

For your consumption we have prepared a modest feast...

HSotD 16
REKKU 37
and School Days 5, 6, and 7...

Save some room for desert too ;)

Now as for why we were down the entirety of January... Yeah, we put a little too much trust in new hardware, what a fiasco. Awesome new server, but for some messed up reason, it REFUSES to run continuously for more than a day or two while under load...

SO needless to say, we're back on the old server... Sure its a little slow, (you guys hit it pretty damn hard ;]) but hey at least it's functional. Maby there's some truth in that old saying, if it ain't broke don't fix it...

A real news post is forthcoming (i.e. one that actually has some news), and well yeah... x_x

This series is really starting to get good, it follows a different path from the anime, so it should be interesting... ^^

Also note, we noticed that these chapters are actually called 'PAGE's by the author, but due to the confusion such a naming scheme would likely cause, we have opted to continue calling them chapters. ;)

An awesome series, we noticed that the manga wasnt getting much attention, so maby we can fix that ;)

The people involved in this series so far are, Gringe on Translation and Editing, and Xamayon on Trans/Quality check...

Enjoy!

The [XLG] Staff would like to wish you a Merry Christmas!

Here is some goodness to brighten your day~~
Lucky Star 17, HSotD 15, and Rekku 36!!!

Awesomeness~~ Definitely not a chapter to miss! (as if any HotD chapters were missable ;P)

XD @ Kevin, twice in under 4 minutes...

All that is awesome redone in high quality with corrections and much goodness.

GET VOLUME 3 NAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well its been a while... yeah... whats our excuse?

nothing ;)

Happy Halloween~~~ Here's some more awesome HSotD action!

This isn't late or anything... ...of course not X]

We would also like to take this time to welcome the newest [XLG] staff member Rall, who it just so happens was the cleaner for this very chapter :D

Oh I know, lets blame Rall for the slowness ;) he's the new guy after all... XD

All jokes aside, Enjoy the QUALITY

Two times the goodness~~ And might I suggest reading both ;)

as for the content, ..........No comment ;]

More goodness~~

Sorry about the recent lack of releases, but ya know, you just gatta roll with life's punches... ;)

Roberrrrrtoooo~~ Here's another~~ ;]

what?!? Lucky Star!?!

(some rekku and iinari on the way soon too ;] )

We would like to take this time to announce our newest project Iinari! Aibration :D This series started in the same issue of Dragon Age as Highschool of the Dead, and despite its apparent awesomeness, has remained untouched until now... We simply could not let that go on, and decided to pick it up ourselves! XD

Gringe and Xamayon will be doing translation, Gringe will be editing, and Xamayon will be proofing
(Same team as is on HSotD)

Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Also, if you know where we can get Volume 2 Raws, PLEASE let us know ;)

~~~~~

On a side note, there is now a new download option for those just starting to read Lucky Star!
We have thrown together the first half of Volume 1 into a single zip file, to make it easier for everyone to get than having to download all the individual 'episodes'. :D Some minor releveling has been done, so it is now even more high quaal. ;)

Ao sure has some interesting oppinions... ^_^

The teaser pic almost looks like something out of HSotD XD

Huzzzzah!

Reality has conspired against us, hardware troubles tried to keep us down, but we have come through it all unscathed! Here for your enjoyment is ACT 12: The Sum of all Deads!!!!

WE HAVE OVERCOME! XD

Moar!

Brace yourselves, the wait is almost over~~

Awesomeness

Gatta Catch Em All~ Bakémon!

True quality! This chapter really spices things upa bit, it should be interesting how Matsu deals with this all in coming chapters...

DEFF Not a chapter to miss :D

Wow its been a while! Quite a few of us were out of town for most of the past month (including gringe, who spent a while in japan, damn him and his kickass trips XP) Well, the staff has steadily been returning...
This means good news for all of you: WE CAN FINALLY RELEASE!!!

We are BAAAAAAAAAAACK IN BUSINESS~~ (or so we hope ;))

This calls for a celebration! In the name of IAN!!!

Who Wants some HSotD!!!!

Oh uh sorry cant quite do that... we dont have the raws yet :P

More Lucky Star... Enjoy!

By the way, Paul you ROKKKKK!

Hawt DAMN! this is some hard to get stuff!! XD

A return of a familliar face in this chapter, could this be good or bad news... Discuss in the forum!

Big thanks again to gringe for going out to get this :D:D:D:D
Donations are always appreciated, so we can continue bringing you such greatness.

A little late, but here is some more Lucky Star on the luckiest day evarrr ;)

On a side note, we finally have the HoTD Act 11 raws, so stay tuned for that X]

~~~~

w00t I made it out to long beach~~ So here is the release I would have added last night >_>;

:P

New Stuff :D

Unfortunately, the preview picture also shows exactly how I'm feeling at the moment... Must have been something I ate T_T

Two at once X]
This chapter of REC marks the beginning of a new arc, and it looks to be quite interesting...

On a side note, I will be at Anime Expo this weekend, so some of you may see me around ^^

More on the way :D

Another~~
Almost to the new stuff :D

On a side note, we still havnt found the raws for HotD 11, Keep your eyes open. ;)

Well, I guess I kindof screwed up the one a day idea, I really need to pay more attention to the release queue :D

Stay tuned for more Lucky Star, and some REKKU!!

w00t more goodness X]

Don't be shy, post in the forums! :P

Nothing but pure awesomeness here~~

We'll have Fixen as main translator, Ladron as editor and Gringe on QC for this series

Please let us know what you think of this new project :D

ENJOY~~

We would like to announce the recent addition of Fixen to our team. He's been in a lind of limbo state while we searched for a suitable project for him, and we have finally found it!

We would like to take this opportunity to unveil our newest project! Lucky Star!~~~

HAWT DAMN this raw was hard to get! Over a month late! And we only even got it then, because Gringe went out and bought it himself (quite a challenging thing to do ;_;)

So everyone spam gringe with messages of thanks! Gringe has demonstrated how we here at XLG will go the extra mile to bring you all that is win and good. ;D

Oh yeah, Act 11 is out in japan too, but no raws yet for that, so keep your eyes peeled ;)

Damn a bit late x_x Things get a little hectic around this time of year, but here is a lil bit of REKKU!!!

Well yeah. :P

A big thanks to all of you who have been donating to help keep us alive, we REALY appreciate your continued support :)

Unfortunately we have been unable to find the HSotD (HotD) Raws so far, this is the longest delay yet... Everyone keep your eyes out for Chapter 10. we cant translate it till we get the raws ;_;

Ahhhhh the downloads are all back up again, if you notice any broken links please let us know.

Due to the overwhelming increase in users that we have seen, we have been forced to switch to dedicated hosting.
(we kind of get kicked off any shared hosting we try to use X_X)

Unfortunately, dedicated hosting costs a lot more money, ;_; so while we hate to beg,

all donations would be greatly appreciated...

Now is the time.

As if the first release of REC in over a month wasnt enough, here we have HSotD (HotD) Volume 2 HQ
YES that is 2 count eem TWO releases in one day! Feel free to shower us with praise and win/good :P

You just gatta love how the bathroom fog 'magically' disapeared in the Volume 2 release ;)

w00t
Oh and incase you have somehow overlooked our saying this:

BUY LEGALITY COOL COMIC :P

Oh and let everyone know our downloads are back, the torrents were a temporary thing. Some people are apparently still in the dark... :D

Slightly delayed... my bad >_>

Quite an enjoyable chapter overall.

Stay Tuned, HSotD (HotD) volume 2 HQ is on its way...

Quite the ending on this chap, not much I can say while avoiding spoilers :P

Direct downloads have been back up for a while now if you havnt noticed.... Thanks go out to UndErDarK, Deus and Bechstien

We are also working on Vol 2 so that should be out in a little while

Oh and for all you REC fans, sorry about the delay. Blame me >_>;
I've had a bad past few weeks. Not too much longer tho...

w00t this is the high quality version of HotD.

Unfortunately due to some issues that we will be going into later, we are unable to post Direct downloads. You will find that all of the previous ones have also been disabled.

So enjoy! We have replaced the DDL link with a torrent for now. You will also be able to get it through rapidshare and such aswell which will be listed in the forum.

Oh yeah feel free to drop by our IRC channel #XLG@irc.rizon.net

Support the Authors!!! BUY LEGALITY COOL COMIC!!!

Click Here for HotD Volume 2 on Amazon

Remember... Volume 1 sold out pretty damn quick (Volume 1 is just coming back into stock now) so if you want Volume 2 reserve it IMMEDIATELY

Oh in other news... stay tuned for the Volume 1 HQ releases. :D

Hell yeah more HotD!! and there are some awesome bonus pics with this chapter ^-^
^-note the change its not HSotD anymore, tho I still prefer and will probably continue to use HSotD :/ Feedback is welcome in the forum :D

Oh one comment tho. This is aimed at the people e-mailing us and biching about how we are taking too long between chapters and sht like that...

THIS IS A MONTHLY SERIES

THERE ARE ONLY 8 CHAPTERS RELEASED IN JAPAN AT THE MOMENT

IT IS QUITE HARD TO GET THE RAWS

We have typically released our traslated versions within 24-36 hours of getting the raws distributed among our staff. I would hardly call that working slowly...

Its hard to believe its been a year already

on this, our 1 year aniversary, the XLG staff would like to thank you all for showing us so much support as we came from nothing, to what we are today. A shift in tags from [XML] to [XLM] to the joint tag [GS-X] to finally our currrent identity [XLG].

To celebrate this wonderfull occasion, we would like to get back to our roots somewhat. The [XLG] Staff is pleased to announce the opening of a new section of this website. Ero, its where we began, and we would like to bring it with us into this new year,

We have assembled a timeline of this past year, which will be posted sometime in the near future. Quite a lot has happened, both good and bad, but we wouldnt trade it for anything. let us hope that it wont be ending any time soon...

Good Fun.
hmmm... so about the director...

Enjoy

By the way, I am totally to blame for the lateness of this release. X]

It is FINALLY available on Amazon. XD thankfully they'll ship just about anywhere.

Click Here for HSotD Volume 1 on Amazon

We were seriously starting to think Amazon wasn't going to carry it. :/ They usually have stuff listed much quicker than that...

We all have to buy Legality COOL COMIC! :D

Del Rey has announced that they now hold the license to the Pumpkin Scissors manga, and will soon be releasing Volume 1.
We will not continue to work on this series.

Please cease distribution of what we had completed, and buy this manga when it is available.

Aaah more REKKU!

A little bit calmer than the last few...:P

w00t for reasonably fast raws XD
Most of you probably didnt even know we had eem yet did you... :P

Well this is truly an action packed chapter, some interesting stuff happens to say the least.

oh and Happy Valentines Day!!!

A little delay, but no worries.

Most of you will probably enjoy this chapter, This is a release of much goodness :D

Another long awaited chapter of NAGI. damn this series rocks!

Nagi...
Nagi is a beast.

We have prepared the full volume download for the third volume of REC. Now all of you who wait for full volumes can join us in enjoyment ^_^

As usual this full volume release contains minor corrections as nesisary, improved file sizes, and of course...
THE COVER ART!!! (most of hanmizawas covers are pretty damn nice X])

Here you go, another amazing release of HSotD!!! Now for the long wait untill next months ;_;

Fans should find this chapter very interesting... Vote on who is the best in the forum.

Well Xamayon needed to burn some time over the weekend (yeah we know he should have worked on NAGI :P ), so he setup a few image boards just for the hell of it...

chekk eem out -> http://images.xamayon.org

Still need some tweaking, but they could come in handy...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I havent seen the anime yet, so I dont know much about it... but damn this is looking awesome!

As ladron puts it ~ "Don't let the name fool you, this is a action - military series with some humor thrown in as well. It follows a little group of soldiers working toward "War Relief." But are joined by a corporal that has some... unique things in his past."

on a side note, this site will be undergoing a slight redesign over the next few weeks, if you see anything broken, or notice any usability problems let us know :D

Check out the forum for discussion, We know most of you hate what happened last chapter, vent your anger!!!
This chapter has some unexpected changes...

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

I dont even know what to say about this chapter...................................
One helluva way to end volume 3 :(

An early christmas present form your friends at [XLG] :P
ENOY~~

Please remember to support the authors, by buying this manga when it becomes available! If you enjoy this manga, it is very important. If we don't support them, they won't be able to continue creating such awesomeness...

The 23rd chapter released on the 23rd ^_^

If you haven't checked out the forum, DO IT NOW! :P

Out in time for halloween~~ ENJOY!!

Check out the forums for discussion let us know what you think of this new project :D

It has come to my attention that a vast majority of you are still using Internet Explorer to browse the internet... You should seriously consider getting an alternate browser. IE is not the best designed or secure thing out there, often allowing websites to install spyware onto your computer without your knowledge. :/ Knowing this why would you keep using it? My personal favorite browser is Firefox. Firefox is secure, blocks popups, protects against malware, and has a wonderfull thing known as tabbed browsing, which allows you to open more than one page in a single window. If you havent already, you should switch immediately. Your computer will thank you.

DOUBLE DIGITS!!! w00t! :P

Lookin good... REC Releases are picking up nicely :)

as far as NAGI goes, dont lose hope... we're workin on it. Real life gets in the way of everything :(

Woah can you say fanservice!? also the new bit to the story should really make things interesting...

on a side note, site will probably be receiving some code changes in the near future... if anything breaks let me know :)

REC Volume 1 is completed!!!
Silver street romantic is a cool little series from Hanimizawa Q-Tarou, check it out
Chapter 8 of REC out at end of week

What are you talking about... This release is LATE?!? :P

just a few hours... or days... not quite weeks yet so No Worries XD

Its Chapter 7 woot! does [GS-X] not rock?

Matsumaru... I just dont know what to think :D
Sorry for the minor delay, Finals are not fun.

We have started Scanslating NAGI

You can find Chapter 1 on our releases page

I am horrible at summaries, so untill one is posted elsewhere, just discuss in the forum :)

The first joint release of REC... Get it while its hot!

Yeah, I know this is old news to most of you, but for those who havent heard We have teamed up with Grinchy Scanslations for the 'production' of REC. You can find our homepage at gs-x.xamayon.org

Well here is a new version of the site, I really had to replace the minimalistic Blackness that was here before, it could not handle everything we need to do. To those who liked the old site, I did too. I love simplicty...
