Orange Chocolate Chp 1 Scanlation

K3

Here is Chapter 1 of “Orange Chocolate,” our newest project.  Sapphire Pyro wrote a great introduction to the series on Hyper Parfait. Many thanks to Pyro! Just a warning, the main female character, Chihiro, does refer to herself in the third person.  I wouldn’t interpret this as she’s being narcissistic, so much as in her head she is still 4-yrs old.  I think we’ve all seen quite a few manga and anime series in which little kids refer to themselves in the 3rd person.  For me it was a bit off-putting at first, but now I see that it’s just … Continue reading Orange Chocolate Chp 1 Scanlation

Ouran High School Host Club Chapter 78 Final Version

K3

There were a lot more errors in my translation than I expected :(.  Fortunately, though, Natirein did a complete translation too.  This final translation is a my original translation cleaned up using Natirein’s translation as a reference.  All hail the greatness of Natirein!!!  I really am grateful she joined the team!  Anyhow…here’s Ouran 78. Link to Ouran High School Host Club Chp 78 Final Version (retired) “Orange Chocolate” Chapter 1 is up next.  The Japanese in that series is no where near as complicated as Ouran fortunately, though, I did get some help with some of the slang 🙂  ETA … Continue reading Ouran High School Host Club Chapter 78 Final Version

"Orange Chocolate" is a GO!!!

K3

I thought from the first chapter that “Orange Chocolate” was going to be a well done, but cliched series, until I read ahead to chapters 2 and 3.  Well, folks, there’s a BIG twist that comes at the beginning of the second chapter.  From what I’ve read so far of this series, it has a good mix of humor, drama, and heart — lots of heart actually.  This is a genuine “feel good” series, with gorgeous drawings and I’m so happy to be able to bring it into English :). I expect the first chapter be be released on Friday … Continue reading "Orange Chocolate" is a GO!!!

Ouran Chp 78 Translation

K3

Thanks to Natirein, page 26 is fixed!!!  Drastic changes were made and hopefully, this part of the chapter makes a lot more sense.  Beyond the changes made to page 26, I don’t expect there to be any more “drastic” changes to the current translation.  Regardless, we are currently checking the rest of the translation and, hopefully, we will release the final edit early next week. Because this is not the final edit, I ask that you refrain from uploaded this file to any of the manga aggregator sites.  I will upload the file myself, when I think I’m ready too.  … Continue reading Ouran Chp 78 Translation

"Orange Chocolate" Manga Series Teaser

K3

I’ve begun working on “Orange Chocolate” and I think I have a winner for the last series we will be taking on for the near term.  Here are the first few pages.  Let me know what you think?  Do you like it? Or should I move on?         This first chapter is 52 pages long, so it will take me a while to get through it.  I anticipate that it will be released in its entirety around the 5th or 6th of February.  It would be sooner, but Ouran chp 78 is coming out any minute and … Continue reading "Orange Chocolate" Manga Series Teaser
