Stay Gold, Chapter 20

 Good evening!

A new chapter to, perhaps, warm your heart just a touch as the cold wintry nights descend. Here the action definitely steps up a gear -- our protagonists become closer, feelings are poured out all over the floor, and a vulgar term for the male anus is uttered. Therefore, if you would please oblige us:

Stay Gold - Chapter 20

And that's all for now! See you around~

Stay Gold, Chapter 19

 Good evening!


We took a bit of a break here (to, perhaps, understate the point a touch), but our fanatical Nibelungentreue towards this story was destined to compel us back to Word and Photoshop eventually. And so it proved. Tonight, then, Chapter XIX -- Hidaka encounters toil and trouble in his professional life, but relief comes from, well, the only expected source. Links, as ever, are below:

Stay Gold - Chapter 19

Since our last release, ge.tt has apparently gone to its eternal reward -- we'll add another mediafire alternative in further course.

Next, something which requires a bit of explanation. Many years ago, an observant commenter noted that the collected Volume 2 contains a slightly different version of Chapter 9 to the original magazine version -- this latter was what we acmedan used as the basis for our their scanlation. We now present this revised version of Chapter 9, along with the original. The changes are relatively small, and it's difficult to immediately understand the rationale behind them, but Yuuji's injury in these new pages finds a strange parallel in Chapter 19, so we thought this was the appropriate moment to get the revised Chapter 9 into circulation. Please, then:

Stay Gold - Chapter 9 (v2)

And that's all for now. This manga is now, after more or less a decade, actually finished in Japan, and we're determined to, eventually, render the whole thing in English. So we shall see you --hopefully-- not too far in the future for the next chapter. Until then~!

Stay Gold, Chapter 18

Good evening!


Back from our little holiday of unexpected prolongation (as they tend to be) with the latest chapter of Stay Gold, a title one or two of you might remember. Tonight we bring you Chapter 18, the first chapter of Volume 4. It's rather short, but does a good job we think in setting up the mood and the different direction this volume travels in. And, really, we'll see what we can do about getting through this bunch a bit more expeditiously.

And so, our dear and good friends, please see the links below:

Stay Gold - Chapter 18

And that's all for now -- until we meet again~

Stay Gold, Volume 3 Extras

Good evening!

And so we arrive gently at the end of Volume 3. This here release takes in the usual extras: the cover, a short omake chapter and some miscellaneous bits and pieces. Not too much else to say so you may proceed directly to the download links:

Stay Gold - Volume 3 Extras

We'd however be obliged if we could detain you a moment while we deliver the usual stern lecture befitting these occasions. This volume, like the other OnBlue Stay Gold releases, is a tremendously handsome item -- the jacket is shiny in a way the scanning process can't pick up, and the cover is printed on fairly thick card so the book as a whole has a pleasingly solid feeling. We've handled a decent quantity of tankobons in our time (not always to rip them apart for scans!) and we wouldn't hesitate to adjudge these some of the very nicest we've encountered. So if you're ever motivated to toss a few coins in the direction of the author's outstretched cap, you would be doing her an honourable turn and acquiring something worth possessing. These exhortations to support the mangakas become inane through repetition, we appreciate, but we do them a disservice not to put the point to you.

And that's all for now! Tune in next time where we embark on the long-awaited Volume 4, which takes the story in a fresh direction we think you won't be displeased with (especially if you're one of the grognards in the audience who remembers Ringo ni Hachimitsu). Until we meet again~

Stay Gold, Chapter 17

Good evening!


Six months! Good grief. Hope you've all had a pleasant uh, early-mid-late 2019 so far. We certainly have -- a fact which is probably completely coincidental to this one having not appeared too expeditiously. But appeared now it has -- 44 (sic) pages, all rich with incident, which take us elegantly to the conclusion of Volume III. Will our heroes work through all their outstanding issues in good order before the book ends? You'll find the answers immediately below:

Stay Gold - Chapter 17

And that is that! Next up we'll round off this volume with the usual extra-bits release, then a quick jump back to those couple bonus pages from one of the Volume II chapters, then it's full speed ahead (emphasis, hopefully, on "speed") to Volume IV, which (not to spoil things too much) takes the form of a prolonged digression which may pleasantly surprise some of you.

All of which is in the (hopefully not too far-off) future -- but for now, until we meet again~

Stay Gold, Chapter 16

Good evening!


A fresh, piping-hot chapter of Stay Gold ready to be poured directly into your eyeballs. So, when you're ready, please take a seat over here and try not to move your head too much. In this instalment, Hayato's mom continues to ruffle everyone's feathers, while an adverse sports outcome prompts Hayato to embark on some soul-searching. So please enjoy:

Stay Gold - Chapter 16

Usual apologies for the turnaround time, of course. Next chapter is very big and chunky and will take us to the end of Volume III. And that's it for now -- until we meet again~

Stay Gold, Chapter 15

Good evening!


Well, the gap between this and the previous turned out to be about the same as between the previous and the one before that — but we are all hostages to fortune and the road to a new release is never as straight as it might be. We arrive, at any rate, at our destination, with the next chapter in train. This one is, to be straight with you all, mostly a flashback; but we get some useful background in, and things take rather a turn at the end. So please proceed towards:

Stay Gold - Chapter 15

Until we meet again~!
