Kyou wo Aruku Chapter 2

Here's chapter 2. With this, I'm actually caught up with the series. New chapters come out on the third Friday of every month, so chapter 3 won't come out for another week or so. I'll be thinking about working on another series now, because 8 pages a month isn't very much, even with all the redrawing.

This chapter marks the first use of speech bubbles! Thank god, because it alleviates my workload a little bit. As for why these two men are smiling, you'll have to read the chapter to find out why.

Hi, and welcome to Shumi Scans. I'm just a single person who's recently been trying out scanlating for fun. "Shumi" is Japanese for " hobby," so I figured that it fit nicely. More importantly, I finally finished a chapter of something! It's a new series called Kyou wo Aruku (Walking Through Today) by Igarashi Mikio. It's about a man (who I presume is the author) who's been going out for walks for a very long time. He always walks the same route every time, but doing so lets him see when things change. Each chapter has a little misadventure based on something that the man encounters on his walks. It just started a couple months ago on IKKI magazine's Web Ikipara Comic site. Only two chapters are out so far, and a new 8-page chapter comes out monthly, so I think I'll be able to keep up. The site also has a few series already translated into English, including the new series from Hara Kazuo of Noramimi fame, so I'd recommend checking it out.

This was actually a pretty unfortunate choice for a first series, because the main character's actions are almost exclusively internally narrated. That means plenty of text outside of bubbles, which means redraws. I really suck at redraws, so I apologize in advance if you happen to notice anything that looks bad.
