New Series: Kaicho-san no Koneko — Coming Soon

K3

Update 4/8/2010:  The mini-series includes three chapter of Kaicho-san no Koneko, one side story, a one-shot called “Gakuran Ouji” (“Gakuran Prince” — a “gakuran” is a boy’s school uniform that has a long jacket with a stand-up collar and loose pants), and a very short KNK extra story.  “Gakuran Ouji” has already been translated into English, so we will skip it, but will scanlate the rest.  I’ve translated about 60% of the first chapter and it’s a good mix of humor and sweetness — very much along the lines of “Orange Chocolate.” Cleaning this manga isn’t a lot of work, … Continue reading New Series: Kaicho-san no Koneko — Coming Soon

Orange Chocolate Chapter 8

K3

Thanks to everyone who volunteered to help proofread!  I now have a nice pool of proofreaders, so, hopefully, I won’t have any emergencies soon.  Recruitment, though is still open.  I also need a back-up translator, so if you know a fair amount of Japanese and want to help, sent me an e-mail (link). And now onto why your here, Orange Chocolate chapter 8! Link to “Orange Chocolate” Chapter 8 I like this chapter because Chiro’s reaction to recent events are uniquely “Chiro” and quite funny.  She has her own strange view of the world ;p. It looks like I’ve got … Continue reading Orange Chocolate Chapter 8

Orange Chocolate Chapter 8 Preview

K3

We are working hard to get Orange Chocolate chapter 8 out by Thursday (33% edited, 60% cleaned).  A few happy “distractions” have come up for me on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, so I’m not sure whether release on the 8th is possible. But I’m not going to update the schedule until I know for sure.  As usual, cleaning Orange Chocolate is challenge, so it’s taking a while.  Anyhow, here’s a little preview wet your appetite: What happens before this and after is quite funny because Chiro’s reaction is completely unexpected, but in hindsight, very Chiro.  Ritsu, usual, is a calm … Continue reading Orange Chocolate Chapter 8 Preview
