Obligatory Self Introduction

Hi… Uh… Cucumis sativus here, Second Hand Scan’s newest bitch member. As Somebodyelse has already mentioned, we met on Phantasy Star Online 2, so I’ll dispense with the origin story (of our fated romantic meeting as we vanquish the ferocious dragon within a volcanic hell). When it comes to the Japanese language, it doesn’t take long for the conversation to head towards anime, manga, and ultimately porn. After a few exchanges about what we like and what we’ve read, Somebodyelse mentioned he was, well… Somebodyelse of Second Hand Scan’s fame. Long story short, I asked if I could join his merry little one man group. I know some Japanese and I have studied translation theory before, so this would be a fun little gig to stick my hands in.

So why the name Cucumis sativus? Let’s just say it’s a nod to one of my first hentai experiences, a really hardcore CG set depicting a busty girl in a bunny suit getting gangbanged by a bunch of demonic vegetables (this was just one of many scenarios). And when I say demonic vegetables, I’m not talking about anthropomorphic looking veggies manhandling a girl. They were literally vegetables with demonic faces (and tiny looking arms) going to town with this girl’s body. T’was a strange yet beautifully erotic sight to behold.

Anyway, I’m still getting my bearings straight with the whole scanlating gig. Somebodyelse is showing me the ropes in both his script preferences and editing tricks. Hopefully, the two of us will start producing some nice quality works together, plus the occasional lone wolf projects I’ll attempt. Projects will range from both naughty and safe.

I hope you look forward to it. Please be gentle.
