Summary:
"As a boy, Argentum was a poison tester for a royal family. Later, he developed an immunity to toxic substances and became a master chemist with the ability to cure any illness. Returning after a long absence, he is assigned to be Princess Primula's bodyguard. But any potential relationship will have its limits, as Argentum's very touch has itself become poisonous."
I first ran across this series in mangafox, and simply feel in love with it, it had an epic back ground story filled with drama and political intrigue while also still being absolutely adorable at times and when the publisher for it (CMX) went down I was simply crushed. I had almost given all hope until I discovered an individual on manga-updates who had in fact acquired the remaining raws for the last three volumes. I got in touch with them, and on their behalf I am now going to any group that might be willing to host and take up this project despite the risks even if it is a canceled work for the moment. Your group is new, and bold, full of energy while not being bogged down by too many project at the moment, and I hope after reading more about it you'll come to love it just as much as I have and be willing to help out.
On the bright-side, my contact not only has the raws (which are cleaned beautifully) but is willing to proofread/edit for the series, along with having another contact who would be willing to typeset, and another contact willing to translate. So this wouldn't take much in the way of time or resources on the part of your group asides from a few miscellaneous positions to fill out. I hope you guys will consider it, as a huge favor to the fans who want to finish this epic series and you will have my utmost gratitude if you would.
