"Scanlators that generaly do trap manga"

What's with this "trap" in the description? Don't people get that this term is REALLY offensive for trans women? If you're talking about crossdressing, then use the bloody word "crossdressing". Geez! We get enough transphobia already without this kind of bullshit don't you think?

"Trap" probably refers to the genre and the subset of crossdressers where there's a certain intent to 'deceive'. That's how a lot of works that Hachimitsu-scans translates sell themselves as.

Nobody's using it here to describe trans women.

Yeah, specially if the character themselves often call themselves traps in some of the doujins, that's what I used to read a lot in the anthology, and many of them use it as fetish or for fun not to describe their whole nature

It was another time, the tag here was trap too, it has been fixed anyway.

It is a shitty word that trans people get smeared with on a daily basis. They don't get to leave that behind when they run across it in another (but not wholly separate) context, so try to remember that even though it doesn't bother you specifically, it's still crappy.

trap in anime/manga == "draw a girl, pretend it's a boy" anyway.

Tooko, the person behind Hachimitsu scans, stopped scanlating in 2021 when [MangaDex] went down. Many assumed it was an entire team with how consistently and much they released. In the end, it was just one person.

They weren't scanlating things because they had found it interesting, they were really just going through the motions.
In the end, MangaDex dying gave them a time to step back and realize that it was time to call it quits for now.
