I was considering doing Fukudahda - Soushisouai Note Nisatsume & [Fukudahda] Soushisouai Note Nisatsume but there are already some nicely decensored versions available, you can find HERE and HERE
This list is also in order in which I intend to work on them, of course it's not set in stone just the plan I have for right now.
Since this will certainly keep me busy for a while it is unlikely that I will be able to work on other requests in the near future, unless I think the request is really good.

Tutorial

Since someone on the bloodfer forums asked about it, and I was thinking about doing this anyway, here's a little tutorial of how I work on an image.

Things kind of vary for every picture but a general approach I take for each picture is: outline the censored area with the lasso tool, make the censored area white if it is not already, make a layer, draw any lines I need in the censored area, & fill in the rest of the censored area with color or tones depending if the image is color or black and white. For colors images I use the eyedrop tool to grab the color I want from nearby and simply paintbrush it in. For black and white images I use the stamp tool and have to line up the pattern of the tones so it blends in. For that I focus on getting the pattern right since I can always lighten or darken the area with the dodge and burn tools respectively. Finally, I add any touch ups I like to make the area blend in or just look nicer. I use a tablet for practically everything I do nowadays in photoshop.

I may adjust the image size, levels, vibrancy, etc as needed, and clean up any dust with paintbrush or smudge tools. Most images need a level adjustment of some kind. Black and white is pretty easy but color can be a pain when it comes to leveling. After playing with the different adjustments as much as I have you can simply look at an image and know what kind of adjustment it needs (contrast, level adjust red, blue, green channel, vibrance, etc.) Usually though, leveling is all it needs. Auto leveling is pretty good for a quick, decent fix though I prefer to adjust manually since auto leveling maybe too strong or not enough. Another thing I commonly do for color images is use a very soft smart blur which removes the grain from file compression, sharpen filters, and/or scanning and gives the images a smoother appearance without losing any fine lines details like blush lines around the cheeks.

I did record a video from when I was decensoring [Fukudahda (Kensoh Ogawa)] Love Me Do. Here's a download link to the video to give a visual. For those who are interested.

Since megaupload has been shut down, I'll be using filesonic as the secondary fileserver from now on. If there are old files that you find without any working download links available and you would like me to repost them, just leave a comment under the post for the file you'd like reposted.

I haven't decide what I'll work on next since I have a lot to choose from. I should post a tentative schedule for the next few projects in the next couple of days.

*Edit- Since filesonic is useless now, it will just be mediafire for the time being for a download link.

Usually I don't do two mangas back-to-back but this manga is something I've wanted to decensor for a while, but I kept putting it off for one reason or another. I was tired of putting it off so I decide just to do it. Even though there is a lot of brother/sister love in this, and while I would not say I have a particular interest in bloomers before this, I certainly like it here. Good character designs and assertive female characters are always a plus, as well.

I actually finished the decensoring for this over a week ago and have been working on the English version since then. The first half of the English version used scans from the monthly magazines, which had lower image quality, compared to the manga scans. Because the English version was not from the manga scans, the images had different resolutions and different cropping applied I couldn't simply copy and paste like usual. While I was at it, I increased the leveling on the images so that darker sections appeared fully black with additional manual touch ups to dust and white spots to make it look really clean and polished.

Finally, last night I realized that the last chapter was not translated in the English version that I had. I looked around to see if I could find a translation but could not. So as far as I know, it was never translated. While I don't consider myself a translator I can get a rough translation out of most hentai stuff if I take the time to look up the kanji I'm unfamiliar with. So pages 175 and onwards were translated by myself to the best of my ability. I have translated other things before but have not posted any of it because I was not satisfied with the results and figured I'd get back to it at a later date. In the end, I'm pretty satisfied with these results. So now after three different translators this thing finally has a fully translation.

Next project will be (C81) [Nisemidi] HakuDARK (ToLOVE). I'm sure many of you will be looking forward to that.
