I think I translated some of the chapters in volume 2 and/or 3. The ones where Reiya is introduced, the one where the high school girls summon Uriel...

I think the work on the series was very sporadic, and there were releases for Matantei Loki Ragnarok at the same time, so it was confusing. Eventually I sent in a chapter but never heard back from the editor and others, so that was the end of my work on it. Looks like the whole of the first series is available on Manga Traders now, though.

I dont care as long as there are at least some updates ;)

But I would normaly only read complete vol or chapters, if its not a series I am extremly interested in.
Please don't mind my bad english since I'm german.

I voted for entire chapters as I tend to to read only them but once a week even if it is just saying it is still going is also a pretty good option.
Can I say something about destiny? Screw destiny! If this evil thing comes we'll fight it, and we'll keep fighting it until we whoop it. 'Cause destiny is just another word for inevitable and nothing's inevitable as long as you stand up, look it in the eye, and say 'You're evitable!'

I'd prefer every chapter. :) Though I don't really mind how they update it. I'm thankful enough that someone is doing the tough work for us.

I'm thankful enough that there are translators, honestly speaking.

I voted every chapter for the same reason as hobogunner, though I only read completed volumes. I don't really see the point of posting partial chapters (I hope I don't sound rude or anything) and besides the length of chapters varies quite a lot.

Reminds me that I want to try hybrid translations. Machine+Human translations.
