Dear Fans, Before you Criticize a Scanlation Group…
I need to get this off my chest because I cannot believe the level of entitlement some fans exhibit. So if you are a “fan” and you are angry that your favorite series isn’t being released at your beckon call, keep these three points in mind. You are getting translated manga for free. For Omari’s Sister, the average single chapter of a series or oneshot requires 40 man-hours of work. 40 HOURS! This is not something that gets done in an afternoon. And the people who do this work are highly skilled artists and translators that could be using these … Continue reading Dear Fans, Before you Criticize a Scanlation Group…
Detarame Mousouryoku Opera Chapters 1 – 3 (end)
Phew! I am so glad to have this series behind me now! Yeah, I bitched and moaned at every step, but it’s a very good short series and I’m glad I went through the aggravation. Like “Seigi no Mikata,” this feels like it was only the beginning of a longer story. I would like to see that longer story, but not if I have to translate it. (It’s my hope that Viz will continue to publish English versions of Bisco Hatori’s works. Honestly, Hatori-sensei’s works need to be professionally translated because her writing is a difficult read.) And with this, … Continue reading Detarame Mousouryoku Opera Chapters 1 – 3 (end)
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
Looking Forward to 2013 at Omari’s Sister
Happy New Year! I hope you all had a safe and fun holiday season. I’ve been taking a short break from OS since finishing “Ojousama no Untenshu.” I played and beat Torchlight II and watched some movies with hubby. I recommend “Cabin in the Woods.” It was a very clever play on horror movie tropes. “Ted”…well…my husband liked it a lot more than I did. I felt that it was too much of a “man movie” for me. If you can marathon “Family Guy,” then you’ll love “Ted.” Me…I’m sorta a “Family Guy” in the background kind of person. I … Continue reading Looking Forward to 2013 at Omari’s Sister

Ojousama no Untenshu Chapter 9 (Final)
At last! The final chapter! It’s always bittersweet to finish a series. It’s nice to tick a project off my to-do list, but at the same time I’m going to miss theses characters. Overall, I’m pleased with the way this series ends. I like the way Sayaka sticks up for herself in the end against her father. There are two short omakes after this (LINK) Onto the release!Link to “Ojousama no Untenshu” Chapter 9: (Zip) (PDF) Please do not upload EITHER of these files to another website or a manga aggregator. I hate them. Next up will be “Pochamani” Chapter … Continue reading Ojousama no Untenshu Chapter 9 (Final)
Ojousama no Untenshu Chapter 8
Updated 3/7/2013: I corrected a couple of typos.———————————————-First some business:Omari’s Sister is recruiting Japanese to English translators and image editors (cleaning and redrawing). If you are interested in volunteering, please email me Kuroneko003 at omarissister@gmail.com.———————————————– We’re coming down to the last two chapters of “Ojousama no Untenshu.” I think chapter 8 goes against my expectation of how the story was going to proceed after the kiss in chapter 7. I like the way Sayaka thinks the situation through and how both Sayaka and Narutaki arrive at their decision at the end. We are very much reminded above all that Narutaki … Continue reading Ojousama no Untenshu Chapter 8
