"Kemono Kingdom: Zoo" Chapter 13

K3

There are now three chapters left! In this chapter we finally meet Lion’s family and Tiger. Looking back, I now wonder whether those other lions were Lion’s mother and sisters all along.  Haha! Anyhow…tiger…yeah…he’s a bit troublesome. The way he’s described reminds me of actually trying to see a tiger at the San Diego Zoo or Safari Park. In my many visits to both places, I have yet to see a tiger. They are always well hidden from visitors’ eyes. I wonder if this is the case at other zoos. Anyhow, things continue to go sideways in this chapter T_T.  … Continue reading "Kemono Kingdom: Zoo" Chapter 13

"Kemono Kingdom: Zoo" Chapter 12

K3

Marching down the chapters! There are now 4 more left (and a short prologue). I don’t want to say much about this chapter because toward the end it gets very different than the series has been.  When I picked up the series, I didn’t expect this kind of change, but it’s a very nice, emotional, and thought provoking final arc. And here’s the release!Links to “Kemono Kingdom: Zoo” Chapter 12: (Zip) (PDF) Next up will be chapter 13 tomorrow or Saturday. Continue reading "Kemono Kingdom: Zoo" Chapter 12

"Kemono Kingdom: Zoo" Chapter 11

K3

We begin again our sequential release of “Kemono Kingdom: Zoo”.  All of the chapters have been translated, so the series will be completely released by the end of next week, barring any disasters on my end. If you understand the subtext of what’s going on in the chapter, it’s a very raunchy chapter. I was laughing so hard while translating this chapter. There is one particular joke in this chapter that’s based on a silly stereotype.  Please don’t get offended by this joke because it’s meant to be fun. This chapter also is the beginning of the final story arc. … Continue reading "Kemono Kingdom: Zoo" Chapter 11

Thank you for Taking the Oneshot Survey!

K3

Thanks to all of you who gave us your input on your favorite mangaka. It looks like my instincts are on track and we are well on the way to preparing a nice selection of oneshots for the 4th anniversary of Omari’s Sister and the rest of 2013. Our plan is to release complete collections of oneshots from our favorite mangaka. This means we will do our own versions of oneshots that may have already been released along with some that have never been released in English. I know some of you don’t like that, and I invite you not … Continue reading Thank you for Taking the Oneshot Survey!

JManga/JManga7 is Shutting Down

K3

I imagine this is irrelevant news to most of you since JManga didn’t really serve this blog’s demographic well.  But just so you know, JManga/JManga7 is closing. If you were a user, please make sure to read the info on this webpage to make sure whatever money you have sitting in JManga gets returned to you: http://www.jmanga.com/urgent-message I browsed JManga only a little. Until recently, there weren’t any titles I wanted to read. They kept promising an iOS app, so I held off on purchases waiting for that promised iOS app.  Sorry, but I don’t pay money just to keep … Continue reading JManga/JManga7 is Shutting Down

"Kemono Kingdom" Chapter 9

K3

First of all, thanks to all of the supporters of this series. Your encouragement fuels me :3. I will do my best to finish this series with care. Marching down the chapters, here’s chapter 9 of “Kemono Kingdom: Zoo”. This chapter centers around Barbary Sheep’s tween anxiety. Barbary Sheep is adorable and I wouldn’t mind having a BSheep doll or plushy. Underlying this whole story is a discussion of Eagle and Lion’s relationship, which will continue into chapter 10.  After chapter 10 we finally move into a story arc and things turn very dramatic (but still with humor). We are … Continue reading "Kemono Kingdom" Chapter 9

Please Boycott MangaFox and Other Manga Aggregators

K3

Update 3/08/2013 — Mangafox was cooperating with us, but this week, Mangafox still won’t remove our releases after 2 requests this week… My only beef is that I nicely asked MF to remove our work. If any mangaka asked us to stop translating their work, we would stop. It’s common courtesy. All they have to do is stop uploading our work and remove our work when we ask. MF has plenty of “contributors” that willingly upload their own work. They don’t need our work.————————————–MangaFox has shut the part of their forum that allows scanlation groups to request takedowns of their … Continue reading Please Boycott MangaFox and Other Manga Aggregators
