Poll: Short Series Release Preference
Thanks to those of you who voted in the poll about short series release preference. I think for one volume series it’s very reasonable to release the chapters back to back. As for longer series I think two chapters a month would be more appropriate. Continue reading Poll: Short Series Release Preference
Rambling Post About Upcoming Projects
Please pardon me now because I’m going to self-indulgently ramble. Holding off and not rushing into starting new series until we finish some series that are already done in Japanese has given me a lot of time to think about what future projects I want to do and we should do. I’ve been experimenting with different magazines, “online magazines,” and random tankoubon purchases over the past year or so. I thought it would help refine my tastes, but all it’s done is thrown me into confusion. There are way too many shiny things out there and I want them all. … Continue reading Rambling Post About Upcoming Projects

Water-Themed One-Shot: "Seiten ni Tsurugi wo Kazase" ("Raise your Sword in Fair Weather") by Shizuru Onda
Wow! We got this one in with barely any time to spare, though it’s not like any of our deadlines are hard. But still, big thanks to Kiruku Naru for her lightening fingers.

Water-Themed One-Shot: "Shima x Dan: My Life with Boys on a Island"
As our proofreader Zenny pointed out, we don’t often do reverse harem projects. “Ouran” was definitely a reverse harem and “Magnolia” was looking that way, though now it seems to have narrowed down to Ayato and Hugo with Nagi as the suffering third wheel. Well, here you go! This is definitely are reverse harem, though it seemed to me a few pages in, Minato and one particular guy had already paired off. Actually, if you look carefully at the title page, you can see one of the guys has already staked his claim. This is a super-cute one-shot from the … Continue reading Water-Themed One-Shot: "Shima x Dan: My Life with Boys on a Island"

I like to thank Silver Lunar for … Continue reading Water-Themed One-Shot: "Over the Blue" by Yumi Kiiro
Water-Themed One-Shot: "Kaizokuhime" ("Pirate Princess") by Yuki Shiwasu
Before we get to the one-shot, I need to do some advertising. We need an experienced advanced-level Japanese to English translator for “Akagami no Shirayukihime.” We will be working from the tankoubon from now on, however, if the translator wishes, he or she may translate from the magazine so as not to be bombarded with multiple chapters at once. Also, the translator can work on other OS projects at their own leisure. We are also recruiting Cleaners and Redraw Artists. Please see our recruitment page for more details.—————————— Now onto the one-shot! You may recognize the name of the mangaka, … Continue reading Water-Themed One-Shot: "Kaizokuhime" ("Pirate Princess") by Yuki Shiwasu
