Kakukaku Shikajika is probably the most underappreciated manga on MAL. I mean yes, it's in the top 50 as far as ratings go, but only a few hundred people have seemingly read it

A shame because it's one of the most inspirational reads I've ever had

I really wanna scanlate Awajima Hyakkei now!

Also, excited to read Kakukaku Shikajika.

Kikai Jikake no Ai seems very interesting based on synopsis alone. Feels like it'll be hard to scanlate, but maybe.

Machida-kun no Sekai looks very cute.

edit- YOOOO Otouto no Otto's on this? Just noticed. Need to read that soon but I'm scared the scanlators will be slow.

Just read that through in one sitting. Wow. Fully deserved, without a doubt.
There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do.
