UPDATES

Hello everyone, We’re sorry to announce that our German and Spanish translators have become too busy with other responsibilities to continue working with us. We’re sad to see them go, and are grateful for the work they have done. Unfortunately, this means that the German and Spanish versions of our manga will be on hold until further notice. Books 1-3 in Spanish and German will continue to be available on Amazon. Sorry to everyone for the inconvenience, The Crystal Hunters Team

One of the most amazing things about producing Crystal Hunters has been coming into contact with our amazing translators. They’re all wonderful people who are giving a lot of their time to help us because they believe in our work. Now it’s our turn to return the favor. Our Spanish translators are currently swamped at their day jobs. So, we’re going to cut them some slack until they’re ready to work with us again. We know this is a disappointment to all our Spanish learning fans who are waiting for Book 4, but we hope you’ll join us in cheering for our Spanish translators and the amazing work they’ve done so far. We’ll post an update here on our blog as soon as the Spanish Version is back on track. Sorry for the delay. The Crystal Hunters Team

Hey Everyone,

At the request of the fans of the Natural Japanese version of our manga, we’ve added a support guide to help read the kanji for each of our Natural Japanese books. We will be including a kanji-reading support guide here on our site for every Natural Japanese book we release from now on. You can download the new guides for Natural Japanese books 1 & 2 from their links on our Free Stuff page.

Our free copy of Book 1 on Pixiv has reached 100,000 views!

Thanks to everyone who read and shared Crystal Hunters Book 1 on pixiv in Japanese, Spanish or English. You’ve helped the Crystal Hunters story move from obscurity into something with potential.

And an extra-special thanks to those of you who are subscribed to our updates. We’re really grateful you take the time to give us a closer look and share our adventures with us as they happen.

We found out this morning that a link to the Crystal Hunters website has been added to the Japanese language study supplementary resource list found on the Smith College Libraries website for Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts. ✨🇺🇸✨

Smith College is a private liberal arts women’s college. Thanks so much ladies! Glad we can help out! See our link listed here.

This is on top of being linked first at Kansas University in their online Japanese General Studies Guide here.

Thanks to all these universities who have included us among their resources!

We woke up to this review for Japanese Book 2 this morning. It’s great to know we’re having such a positive effect on people. A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who has taken the time to review and share our work out there on the web. The voice of the fans is always greater than the authors’ when it comes to sharing the value of a work with others, so thanks for being awesome!

When something you make inspires thoughtful praise from someone else, it’s remarkable. When something you make inspires art from an artist–a gift of skill–it’s astonishing. It’s with this progression in mind that we present our very first piece of fan art:

Zachary Kolbe, whose artwork you can see here, found our team’s manga on Reddit and was so taken with our work that he humbled us by sending us this piece of Bansom working on his second mechanical arm from Chapter 2. Bansom is the heart of our team of characters, and seeing him working alone in the light of his workshop through another artist’s eyes is soul-touching.

Thanks, Zachary. We will always remember and talk about the day we got your work. You are awesome! ✨💎✨

Between the three versions of our manga, we’ve reached 50,000 views! Wow! What a crazy ride this has been so far!

Although we originally made the manga for students in Japan learning English, it’s been the easy Japanese version that’s really taken off. It’s gotten 32,000+ views since we released it less than two months ago, and the guide to learn to read the Japanese version from zero has also been downloaded 16,000+ times!

We’re really happy that we’ve been helping so many people learn languages, and here’s to hoping that we can help many more in the future too!

The English, Japanese, and Natural Japanese versions of Crystal Hunters chapters 1-3 have launched on ComiXology. We hope you’ll stop by and pick up copies at the button links below

On a personal note, it’s nice to have our work sitting on the same digital shelves as some of the greatest fictional characters of all time.
