i didn't see anything about not commenting here or ... if it was required (though i see nothing ... um) ... but anyway! thank you for uploading this! i really enjoyed it.  although it makes me wonder what'll happen to this since this was a joint project? i hope to see more of it, though.

(and if it was wrong to post here, i apologize!)

wow, i think i expected more posts. 

anyway, i found this place ... well, i actually found it a while ago but forgot about it?  and recently, i discovered the mangaka for 3 years, which i loved, so i had to search out for some of her other works and found one here!  so yes, i shall be doing that soon.  i thank the lot of you for doing all this hard work!

Hi there~
I'm new here so I decide to post at here.
My hobbies are watching anime, reading manga/manhua, playing games, reading light novels and listening to music.

I came across this place while searching for Tao Tie Ji. I like Nan Kong Yu's works. I have read Qi Dan Qu, Lonesome Eden and Cang Tian Zhi Qi.

I have tons of favorite manga such as Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, xxxHolic, Vampire Knight, Fairy Tail,  Alice Academy, Shugo Chara and many many more~~
My favorite artist is CLAMP.

Hello there! I'm azuyama-chan and I'm obviously new. I found this forum from a link I got from a friend and I thought that it would be a good idea to join. My hobbies are reading, writing, watching anime/manga and other shows, listening to music and graphic making.

Some of the anime and manga that I like are Inuyasha, Ghost Hunt, xxxHolic and so much more. Nice to meet you all!

I'd like to wish everyone a Happy New Year, whether or not it has passed or is still ongoing for any of you. I hope you all had/have fun! And to throw in a little gift for you guys, we present to you the next case for Shinrei Tantei Yakumo! This past and current week has been quite hectic for me so I couldn't edit quickly enough, which I have to apologize and give my deepest regards to the staff over at Fateful Encounters. Thank you chococat, for Q/Cing so quickly at my selfish request ;_;. I really wanted to give something for the new year. But enough with the chit-chat, here's chapter 4 =).

Shinrei Tantei Yakumo v1 - File 2 c1 [CS][HoF][FE]: [badongo][mediafire]

I hope you guys enjoy it! There's one more short story left to complete the first volume of Shinrei, so be prepared for a hiatus on the series (until we can find scans for v2).

Even though today we give you only one release, don't fret. There will be a surprise soon, hopefully =).

In any case, we are still looking for...
Japanese translators for Secret Hour, and Sekai wo Teki ni Mawashite mo.
Chinese translators for Colorful Joker, and Lonesome Eden (upcoming because I love Nan Kong Yuu so much ).
Editors (Cleaners/Typesetters) for various projects.
And, someone to scan volume 2 of Shinrei.

You won't be hassled into completing a chapter every week, and you can work at your own pace (different under certain circumstances though ). If you are interested, please e-mail hofmanga@gmail.com, or PM me.

Hello dears! Guess what? Yeap, it's another release XD! But this one's a new series that we've been working on for quite a long time. We just never had the chance to release it... until now ^___^. I'd like to thank MiiRache for doing a joint with us. Staff from both groups have had their own issues with life, but I'm glad that we were able to pull through =). But in any case, I'd like to present to you the first chapter of Tao Tie Ji by Nan Kong Yuu! She's becoming one of my favorite manhua artists. Unfortunately, I need more help to scanlate the rest of her stuff *hint hint* =).

Tao Tie Ji - v1 c1 [MiiRache][HoF]: [badongo][mediafire][savefile]

Staff still needed for the following projects:
Japanese translators for Secret Hour, and Sekai wo Teki ni Mawashite mo.
Chinese translators for Colorful Joker, and Qi Dan Qu.
Scanner for Shinrei Tantei Yakumo v2.
And also cleaners.

As I've said many times before, we're not a strict group and you won't be forced to do anything you don't want to. This should be fun, and not treated as some kind of job. So if you're interested, e-mail us at hofmanga@gmail.com, or PM me. I don't bite!

You're welcome charm! We put in a lot of effort so I'm glad you enjoyed it =). Hopefully we can keep releasing with such quality XD. Sometimes the scans are just really terrible ^^;.

I love Shinrei. I think it's a very good manga and I'm glad you guys are scanlating it. So thanks for the releases and the quality is excellent too!

I <3 you. :[ I shall get a working during Christmas break. FOR THE LOVE OF SCANLATION PEOPLE, JOIN US.

Hello everyone! Surprise, surprise! Yes, we have a double release for you all today =). And that is... 2 whopping chapters of Shinrei Tantei Yakumo, which concludes the first case. I'd like to graciously thank Mari of Celestial Scans again for her wonderful patience in dealing with me *bows*. I am an extremely slow editor ... but you know, if I had some help, I'd be faster *hint hint* . I'd also like to announce that this is now a triple joint project with Fateful Encounters! Thank you guys for kindly taking me in *bows*. It indeed is a fateful encounter =). Anyways, here they are!

Also, Happy Late Thanksgiving to everyone in the US! I hope everyone had a great dinner =). I had a big helping of turkey and felt so bloated XDD.

Anywhos, it'd be nice if you guys would leave your feedback! I'd like to know what you guys think of our projects and the way we scanlate them so that we may improve upon it the next time =P.

Now, as usual, I'd like to take this chance to recruit some more staff for our current projects. I want to make one thing clear: our first priorities are to complete our current projects. So for that, I'd like to recruit:

Japanese translators for Secret Hour, Sekai wo Teki ni Mawashite mo, and ArTonelico.
Chinese translators for Tao Tie Ji and Colorful Joker.
Scanner for Shinrei Tantei Yakumo v2.
And experienced editors (or typesetters/cleaners) who are just interested in helping out with whichever project.

I'm not strict nor will I rush you. While releasing faster would be nice, real life takes priorities over scanlation ^^. If you're interested, please PM me or e-mail us at hofmanga@gmail.com.
