Well, I'll be the first to comment… Somebody should really pick this series back up. It's pretty good, but from what I remember, Zefiberyl stopped scanlating because of some countries laws about having lolicon manga. It's just too bad.

We planned to pick it up at some point. Just got too busy with our other series. We have some work done on cleaning but that's about it. Maybe if we get more help or after finishing some other projects we'll go for it.

Yay it's finally being worked on again ?! Thanks Binbou Scanlations :) This was a real favourite of mine.

Chapter 27 has the best yuri kissing scene in existence imo, and it's often very funny and has good characters.

I wish more comic manga would learn a lesson from choir - that just because you are mostly a comedy manga dosn't mean you can't have a proper relationship develop and reach fruition - including a long make out scene! Not every strip has to be comedy - and having some serious yuri in there wont break your manga!

I keep wanting to point that rant out to authors of mangas like Shinozaki san - where it seems they are afraid to really develop things beyond the comedy.

I have the 3 tanks so I kinda know what's left in vol 3 but my Japanese isn't good enough to read much of the text - and so I'm super looking forward to knowing what they say in the rest :)

Thanks for translating, I read this from ch. 1 tonight(i really should be sleeping lol)
Glad it got picked up by another translator, a decent series for sure, and I have to agree with elevown definitely one of the best makeout scenes ive seen drawn...I like how the relationship develops like a side story but they keep the yuri appeal thru the series while still managing a good pace and fun story

I'm really glad this got picked up. It's a lot of fun, and the build up to that kiss was great indeed. Now let's see if the other girls get lucky too.

Na- the translations stopped like 1 or 2 chapters off the end of the second volume out of 3.

The original group that did the first 28 chapters, Zefiberyl Translations, if i remember, had to leave it there because it gets a bit more loli from there on - (not by a lot imo - nothing explicit) and the laws in their country are very strict and they couldn't risk working on it - something like that.

Stuff like this - and maybe a few more revealing.

Basically this. Zefiris is German, and Germany takes a dim legal view of what they consider child pornography. Quite apart from that, she herself despises loli, and no one can expect scanlators to put forth time and effort on things they dislike.

Personally I'm glad to see someone continuing Choir. I think there are people who think working on four-panels is easy, and from an editing standpoint perhaps, but they tend to be packed with tons of obscure and difficult cultural and old-school otaku references, puns and wordplay that are troublesome to translate, and so on. That's certainly how I remember working on Choir. It taught me a lot about both Japan and scanlation, and I'll always have a great affection for it.

Best of luck in this effort, Binbou.

Glad to be doing it. I do agree that translating parts of this is almost like pulling teeth...but hey, can't say I'm not enjoying it.

Gasp Choir is back. I'll probably read the whole thing 2 more times by the end of the month...

Binbouscans thank you so much!

Am I the only one feel kinda sad, that Mawata may have had unrequited love toward Mayuko don't know since how long, (considering their childhood friend status). And how even now she still has to suppress it while try to support her friend relationship with another girl?

I wish she would confess and let her feeling know at least

Without spoiling stuff I will say there are Mawata developments later.
