Broken Promise Scans

Closed

Broken Promise — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 09:29:57 +0000

We never were a very active group, but unfortunately this is the end of the road. There won’t be more new releases, but all the old ones will remain available. Most of the Togainu no Chi and Sweet Pool raws have been adopted by other groups, so they’ll eventually be released.

We thank all the Nitro+Chiral fans for the support over the years. Take care!

Nobody Knows by Clawserio

Natsuno — Sun, 06 Mar 2011 13:39:40 +0000

Hello, we’re not dead yet. But it’s close. Due to losing a translator, we’ve been forced to crop the project list down to bare minimum. For the time being, only Lamento projects will continue since the remaining staff is mostly interested in just them. If any other group is interested in adopting Sweet Pool or Togainu no Chi raws, please drop us a message.

Oh, we do have a release, too.

NOBODY KNOWS (Lamento) – release date: March 6th, 2011
CIRCLE: Clawserio
AUTHOR: Kousaka Akiho
PUBLISHED: 2006
PAIRING: Rai/Konoe
RATING: PG-13
DOWNLOAD: MediaFire

This is a rare piece, I don’t think I’ve seen it scanned before. Despite being short, it’s a really sweet story in Clawserio’s usual style. We hope you’ll enjoy it!

Announcement: Changes to project list

Natsuno — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 08:00:22 +0000

Hello dear readers! If you’ve downloaded our releases recently, you might have noticed that the Releases section was completely revamped. We don’t really swim in released projects, but it should be a bit easier to navigate now. All links to Savefile have been removed since it seems that it no longer exists. We’d like to hear if you have any wishes of additional hosts you’d prefer us to use, currently MF and MU seem the most reliable. Any feedback is welcome!

Also, we’re still interested in recruiting an additional translator, and possibly a raw provider – one that could help us get HQ scans of good Shiki/Akira doujins.

And now the main point of this post. One of our translators has moved on to other things, so we now have some Sweet Pool raws that we’d be interested in either gifting away to a group who’s interested in them, or doing a joint with a group that can provide a translator for them. The books concerned are 000 by VGQ, peace of mind by Tekitou☆, MELT by YOHANESU, and APARTMENT by nattoto.

If your group is interested in these raws, please contact us! Either mail to brokenpromise.scans (at) gmail.com or directly to Idra to hydrangea.x (at) gmail.com.

[TnC] ACID COLOR by Clawserio

Natsuno — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 16:08:58 +0000

ACID COLOR (TnC: True Blood) – release date: September 5th, 2010
CIRCLE: Clawserio
AUTHOR: Kousaka Akiho
PUBLISHED: N/A
PAIRING: Yukihito x Akira
RATING: PG-13
DOWNLOAD: MF | MU

Here it finally is! Clawserio is definitely one of our favourite circles and we’re always excited to do more of Kousaka-sensei’s beautiful books. This time we take a sidestep to Togainu no Chi’s PS2 version, and peek into Yukihito’s story.

We’re also still looking for a translator, look here for more information!

June release… and we make history, of sorts

Natsuno — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 19:21:36 +0000

Back when we started Broken Promise, we created the tagline “It’s a promise!” Thus far, despite all the procrastinating and slow release speed and you name it, we have kept what we’ve promised and released the book we said we would do next.

We’re really sorry, but we’re going to break that promise this time. We’ve had some complications getting Acid Color translated, so it’ll be delayed. We didn’t want to keep you waiting forever, though. So for light summer reading, we would like to present you a book by one of our favourite circles, Clawserio.

MY WISH (Lamento) – release date: June 17th, 2010
CIRCLE: Clawserio
AUTHOR: Kousaka Akiho
PUBLISHED: Dec. 2006
PAIRING: Asato/Konoe
RATING: PG-13
DOWNLOAD: MF | MU

All the previous Clawserios we’ve done have featured Rai/Konoe, so this is a bit different for a change. My Wish explores the relationship between Asato and Konoe and the significance Asato’s hometown has had for who he is. Kousaka-sensei’s characteristic storytelling and gorgeous art are a combination we love, and we really hope you’ll enjoy this book as much as the previous ones!

Also, we’re still looking for a translator to do more Lamento projects! If you’re interested in helping us, please check here for more information! As always, all our previous releases are available on our releases page.

Project list updated and we’re hiring!

Razel: “What’s that wailing noise?”
Kaltz: “That’s Idra sobbing on a pile of doujinshi and Aphelion wringing her hands because they can’t do anything without a translator.”

We went through Aphe’s pile of doujinshi and picked more books for our future project list! Feel free to check out the projects page and see what we’re planning.

It’s been a while since we last sought new blood for the team, but we’re now looking for a Japanese-English translator for the Lamento projects.

You don’t need to be perfect in Japanese, but you must be able to read kanji without furigana. Previous translation work is considered a bonus, if you have done any please tell us when you apply (and if possible, provide an example). We hope that you possess some flair with English language to convey the meaning instead of being too literal with your translations. We have a translation checker and a proofreader to help you with this. We hope that you’ll be able to translate a doujin every other month, but this can be negotiated if needed. (This is a hobby for the entire team so we take things like exams into account when planning our schedule.)

If you’re interested, please apply by email to brokenpromise.scans [at] gmail.com and put “applying for translator” as the subject line!

Procrastinating

Broken Promise — Sun, 02 May 2010 21:12:40 +0000

We’re good at procrastinating, that’s no secret. I was just checking our site stats and noticed that some comments had been thrown into the moderation queue and no one noticed and approved them. They’re posted now… and we must remember to check it more often. RSS feed is also enabled now if you would like to keep track of us that way!

Our leading procrastinator Idra is doing some solo projects to brush up her Japanese skills, so if you’re interested go check out YukiMitai. So far there’s just Sengoku BASARA and more of that coming, but she’s dabbling in so many fandoms it’s anyone’s guess what else will pop up there.

As for Broken Promise… we’ll keep our promise and deliver a Togainu book next. As soon as our translator can escape her school books.

Kicking off 2010 with a release! – TOKIMEKI SCHOOL LIFE by Sou

Natsuno — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 10:15:26 +0000

TOKIMEKI SCHOOL LIFE (Lamento) – release date: March 6th, 2010
CIRCLE: Sou
AUTHOR: Nao
PUBLISHED: Aug. 2007
CAST: All cast
RATING: PG-13 / gag
DOWNLOAD: SS | MF | MU

Taking a break from Clawserio, we decided to have some fun and dug up this from our pile of raws! A cracky book of devils’ antics as they try to relieve their boredom and end up causing (yet again) trouble for the cats. Visit the Releases page for our previously completed projects.

We’ve been rolling around the idea of picking up some Sweet Pool projects, so there might be some of those in the future. Next project planned will be a Togainu no Chi book. Look forward to it!

The rumors of our demise are greatly exaggerated

Natsuno — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 14:11:53 +0000

Autumn went past in a whoosh, and I have very little update to give except “yes we are working on the next release”. Delays have been caused by busy real life situations, personally I am currently in Japan, since September and will be returning home and regular procrastination for New Year.

Hope you all are having a good December and enjoy whichever holidays you are celebrating, in the mean time, have some Christmas lighting from rainy Akihabara:
