Updated V1's Illustrations & Character Pages

Hi everyone!  While waiting for news updates on the upcoming anime, I decided to try my hands at cleaning up volume 1's illustrations to see how they would look.  I think they turned out okay, so I've updated the original v1 illustration page with them (don't worry, both versions will be there so you'll be able to judge my poor redrawing skills).  And that's about it, thanks for stopping by.

P.S. Don't expect me to do the same for any other volume.  I don't have anywhere near the skills to be able to do that.  This was a one time deal, you got that?

Anime Japan 2023 + Short Bonus

Looks like Heat the Pig Liver will be receiving a photo boot area for Anime Japan 2023.  I don't expect there to be any news, but you never know.  Just wanted to share this because they said it's okay to ride Mister Pig!  We all know what that means...

The sign on the right says: "If the weight is over 100kg, there's a risk of damaging him, so please refrain from having more than one person riding him at a time."

Also, I figured I could use this chance to also mention this real quick since all the 2021 LN releases have been translated...

Dengeki Bunko is celebrating its 30th anniversary!  You can find further details here: https://dengekibunko.jp/30th

There'll be a special online broadcast program on ABEMA between July 15 and 16 that will contain various announcements and details.  They explicitly state that it'll include news on Sword Art Online, Seishun Buta Yaro, Reign of the Seven Spellblades, and Heat the Pig Liver, so we'll probably learn more about Heat the Pig Liver's anime adaptation then (I hope we get some info on Unnamed Memory as well, it's a great series, and a personal favorite of mine).

They'll also be hosting a 30th anniversary exhibition at Tokorozawa Sakura Town this Fall.

Furthermore, a lottery campaign will be held for autograph sessions with the following series' authors & illustrators (60 winners per series):

• Sword Art Online

Lastly, they had a new mascot created on twitter @Denchan_30th, and as you can tell by her character design, she was drawn by Tohsaka Asagi sensei!

Heat the Pig Liver 3rd Anniversary

Yahallo!

This should be my seventh blog update?  After finishing up volume 2, I felt the need to follow up with with a quick volume 3 translation.  Knowing how the story was going to develop this volume, I didn't want to leave you all hanging.

For those who haven't finished vol 3 yet, please read that before reading any further as I'd like to talk about my thoughts on it, mainly back when I first read it…

Heat the Pig Liver - Volume 3: Afterword

Afterword

Once upon a time, there were three virgins at a certain somewhere.

 

One was a hot-blooded virgin who lived doing what he wanted to do earnestly.  He excelled in martial arts, was very brave, and was popular with everyone.  However, he didn’t have a lover.

 

Another was a serious-minded virgin who lived doing what he should do quietly.  Though he possessed mysterious powers, he was humble and respected by all.  However, he didn’t have a lover.

 

The last person was hard-working virgin who lived giving it his all doing what he could do.  He didn’t excel at martial arts, nor did he possess any mysterious powers.  That’s why he relied on racking his brain to live.  Even so, he didn’t have a lover.  In fact, he never had a lover.
