Whoo-hoo! It’s “Magnolia” Chapter 8! But first I must make a sales pitch for the first volume of “Magnolia” which goes on sale in Japan on March 7th.
Links to purchase “Magnolia” Volume 1:
- Amazon Japan, through Naked Ape’s Amazon Storefront
- Yes Asia (Available March 19th, $3.99 shipping — a nice option for those of us outside of Japan)
If you love the series “Magnolia”, then plunk down a few bucks and show Naked Ape some love so they can continue this wonderful series for us :). I’ve already ordered my copy of Magnolia and the other Aria series we translate and I will share what the books are like when they arrive next week (They should arrive at my door on the 8th or 9th).
Now back to the chapter. This is another short chapter, but it’s an important one. Our poor little lamb Nagi, suffers some more and we get more of a sense of Hollier Clive.

Warning: Spoilers Ahead!
My thoughts on the Chapter:
Hollier Clive isn’t exactly an original character, but she’s funny nonetheless. I wonder if this is the last we will see of her or will she be a pesky fangirl annoyance that pops up once in a while like Renge did in “Ouran”.
Nagi: My poor, poor, agonizing little lamb! He’s in such an unenviable position. Should he choose to go back to Ayato side, he has to fight himself off as well as everyone else off of Ayato. Plus, he has the question of whether any of what he feels for Ayato is real or just the effects of the Magnolia smell. I can’t imagine Nagi abandoning Ayato now that he understands the situation. Above duty, isn’t Ayato Nagi’s best friend? I wonder, though, is Nagi going to fully explain the situation to Ayato and whether he will tell Yugo about it to convince Yugo that he’s under an intoxicating spell in order to drive Yugo away.
Yugo: *GRINZ* I adore Yugo even more. He looks so smitten with Ayato in this chapter and the bear-huggles moment is so perfect! :3 Yes, yes, I definitely approve. Bear-hugs are the best! It seemed at the end of the chapter, judging from their expressions, that Yugo and Ayato had come to some realization. I’m anxious for chapter 9 to learn what they have to say to each other. I also want to see what happens when Nagi comes back and finds them together.
There’s no follow-up to Lily’s situation with Saiga in this chapter. I wonder if that’s going to be mostly covered in the next chapter of “Lily” due out at the end of June.
And now the anxiety builds again as we all wait a month for chapter 9…sigh…

If it is necessary to admit that the image
Of the chapter it calls muchisimo the attention
wow! that was great!
i approve of both yugo&nagi hehehe(;
gosh this story is addicting!
thanks for your hardwork ❤
Thank you for scanlating this chapter. The work that you do to release it is really appreciated.
thank you so much for all your hard work!!♥
First and for most: Thank you! ^_^
Now.. FIGHT Ayato, FIGHT!!! Rah! He's giving into Yugo too easily. Yes, I will admit the “bear-hug” was cute and “D'aww…” but.. fight, man/woman, fight!
Poor Nagi. ::huggles him:: I'm surprised that the king's brother was the one to tell the story and not the King himself. Hmm.
Hollier (Holly.. whatever), I'm not sure I'm going to like her. She's kinda starting to get on my nerves.. >_>
I'm starting to like Yugo more…
I just hope that Ayato starts to assert himself a bit more. I wont do for him to continue being dragged around like a piece of meat…
But the Magnolia pheromones at least complicate things…
I cannot wait.
Thank you all for the new chapter!
I'm surprised I didn't die of nosebleed after finishing (I think I understand Hollier's pain…)
The last page announcing the serialization has me a bit perplexed since it shows Sui/Yugo/Nagi looming (somewhat ominously) above Ayato @_@…
thank you!!
hahaa i love this series even more. and i agree, the bear-hug moment is perfect!! ♥♥
Poor Nagi just looks so confused.
Ayato needs to get in better shape…
There is a big attraction between Ayato and Yugo…really liking this pairing. Poor Ayato he needs to toughen up. He is a mess around people.
I can do without Holly though. She is very irritating. Hopefully she has some other purpose
Thank you so mcuh for the new chapter
Thanks for always getting the chapters up fast awesome job
thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!!!!!!
thanks for the chapter!
