Side notes: This isn't really new new translation project but it's "relatively new." The translation started about one year ago in July but the work has been a bit slow and it was just recently added on manga reading sites (Bato.to seems not to have it). I liked the first chapter though the art is heavily influenced by "European" ambient but that was only natural to be happening. So you can put that aside and continue reading in good faith of what's coming up next. The history of Isabella Bird was pretty interesting and something that isn't easy to see even today - though the traveling is so much easier now than it was hundred years ago.
P.S. Finding images to use... >.<; Small panels and text placement makes it hard. But... there are quite few good translator noted within the chapters and after so those can be really handy.^-^
