I’ve decided to finish “Kimi ni XOXO.” The second chapter is pretty good and according to the preview, chapter 3 is the climax of the story meaning that this series will end very soon. My guess is that there will be 4 chapters and a forthcoming one-shot about something else. We’ll have to wait and see. Given that the story is cute and the commitment is light, I’ll go ahead and finish this series. Continue reading I’m Going to Finish "Kimi ni XOXO"

First of all:DAMN YOU, JOSHUA!!!! He’s definitely earned the “boo-boo” face from me ;p. I honestly never though Joshua could be so despicable. Yet, he’s so pathetic that I can’t completely hate him. It’s like, “There, there little monkey. What happened? Not enough hugs?” And, yet, I want to leap into the pages and beat Joshua senseless when I think about poor Johanne who is now imprisoned in a comfy jail awaiting execution or rescue or the perfect time to escape in order to, perhaps, finish what he started at the end of chapter 14. (I’m having popcorn while translating … Continue reading New Poll: What to do with Joshua?
Here are some pictures of the loot in Lala issue 8/2010. If you want some loot, go buy a magazine and enjoy the lovely “Vampire Knight” cover illustration (that bullet is very lucky): “Gakuen Babysitters” stickers! Nyanko-Sensei pens! These pens are super cute, but in reality they are only 4-inch long.

Here are the reference pages explaining the “Host Club” final party project. The section that reads “Present” are just descriptions of the prizes available from the raffle associated with each part of the project. I don’t expect anyone who reads this blog entry to try to enter the contests, but I went ahead and translated most of it because I felt it was a nice retrospective on the series. Also, some of you may want to go through the motions of the contest activities, but not actually enter. Here is the front page (Click on the image to see a … Continue reading Ouran High School Host Club Final Party Project
I decided to break up the previews and the project announcement into two separate postings. The project posting won’t be finished until tomorrow because it requires a lot of detailed work. Anyhow, here are the previews from Lala magazine. Update 7/28/2010 — the only Ouran freebie I can confirm is the drama CD that is coming with Lala 10. —————————————————– It looks like there will be at least 3 (including chapter 81) more chapters and with each chapter starting at issue 10 there will be a special Ouran freebie included inside Lala magazine. The first freebie will be a CD … Continue reading Ouran High School Host Club Chp 81 Previews
Here’s the latest Hana-Kimi Extra story from one of the May 2010 issues of Hana to Yume. Link to the Hana-Kimi May 2010 Extra story (Retired) I did this quite hastily and I apologize for any typos, misspellings, or grammatical errors you may come across. I also apologize for not taking the time to thoroughly clean the images. I figured that a proportional effort was all that was required for a story that I plan to post only for a short time. I have no idea whether this is the last planned extra story. Quite personally, the only other extra … Continue reading Hana-Kimi May 2010 Extra Story
