So, since YK&MC ended, Mahou-X and we will --eventually -- catch up to and finish the manga. After that, a few of the core members of Yankee Goon scans, including me, want to continue scanlating. We're interested in good, but little-known or dropped manga, like YK&MC was a couple of years ago before it started getting quite popular among the online manga fan community.
We were wondering if you readers had any ideas or suggestions to toss out. Personally I've had my eye on Hana No Asukagumi, as I'm kind of interested in doing more manga with a yankees/delinquents-with-a-heart-of-gold theme. But I'm open to pretty much anything that's not-creepy and seemingly forgotten, these sorts of "hidden gems".

PHEW GOD
Want your bad, bad romance...
Chapter 149
Chapter 150
Chapter 151
PHEW. God, this was way too long in the process. Basically the issue is cleaners -- we need cleaners who, essentially, have lots of free time on their hands. Also, someone promised to do extra, but then had to go on vacation and couldn't find where she'd left the cleaned chapters! I even had to do SFX myself! The moral of this story is: "Always back up your stuff in many places, and inform your team beforehand if something unexpected happens."
What I mean by this is: If you've basically read our chapters, you know what kind of quality we expect from cleaners, so if you think you can do that, please please sign up to help us, and we would be more than happy to send you a Google wave invite.
Also, Mahou-X: It seems we're going to be busy for the next release. If you guys are really ahead, go ahead and do 161-163 for us.

EDIT: Also, I know that ch149's title is not there. Nobody provided me with a translation for it in the script. ='(
EDIT2: The title of chapter 149 (thanks to Anon and other people) is "Love's Invasion <3 Armageddon". This has been corrected in the latest update.

Explanation
You guys really do deserve an explanation. We're soooooooo late, because a lot of stuff came up at once: cleaners going on vacation all at the same time and starting summer classes, and people disappearing and reappearing left and right.
I really do apologise, but as the editor and not a guy who knows a whole lot about Japanese / has a lot of skill when it comes to redraws, there is not a whole lot I could do.
So sorry. We should get the next chapter or two up in the next week or so.
