Update: “Barajou no Kisu” has just been added to JManga’s directory. Link Aya Shouto has written on her blog that she thinks her works could get licensed and published in English if all overseas scanlation stops. It is never my intention to harm the original author, so per Aya Shouto’s wishes, I will remove “Junketsu + Kareshi” from this blog. Continue reading Retiring "Junketsu + Kareshi"
Here’s a preview of our newest series, “Fushigi no Maria-kun”! This is a 9 chapter series by Shiina Dai, the same artist who brought us “World End Garden“, which is my favorite one-shot of all time! Like “World End Garden” is series has a good range of emotions (though it doesn’t reach the gloomy depths of WEG) and a richly complex relationship between to the two main characters. I’m really looking forward to releasing the first chapter. So, to get you ready for what’s in store, here’s a preview of the first chapter! (Please forgive any errors you may find. … Continue reading Fushigi no Maria-Kun Preview!
Like “Ouran”, to commemorate their television drama, Hana Kimi is also releasing special chapters. This set of special chapters is call “Hana Kimi After Stories” and it’s currently running in Hana to Yume magazine. Each chapter will focus of the after graduation stories of the popular characters from Hana Kimi. I don’t know how many chapters there will be, but I imagine the stories will be very short like this one. This first story covers Nanba and I liken who he ends up with to the surprise of Mei and Kasanoda ending up together. It’s surprising, but ultimately … Continue reading "Hana Kimi After Stories" — Nanba
Here’s “The Scarecrow of Oz” chapter 4. As the story continues we learn that the power witch’s name is “Crane Rouge” and she’s very evil. Her familiar “Kumo” the Cloud Lion is ADORABLE!!! I want a stuffed version! If you are feeling creative, please make an adorable Kumo banner for the release of the final chapter next month. Kumo!!! かわいい！！！Other than Kumo, I think the most enjoyable things about this chapter are the interactions between Kurou and Chelvy. In many ways they seems like an old married couple. Here are the links! Links to “The Scarecrow of Oz” chapter … Continue reading "The Scarecrow of Oz" Chapter 4
This chapter bids a final farewell to Kyariko, raises questions about Leon’s true natural and status, and deals with Sekka’s emotions around Kyariko’s passing. It’s a nice transition to next ghost’s arc and as usual, the story thoughtfully and delicately deals with Sekka. He’s such a sweet boy. Onto the link!Link to “The Ghost Apartment Manager” chapter 7: (PDF) My Thoughts on the Chapter: I love that mangaka manages to make Sekka a full fledged emotional character without making him effeminate or super-aggressive. I completely understand why he became at shut-in. It can happen to sensitive people. Anyhow, Sekka is … Continue reading "The Ghost Apartment Manager" Chapter 7
I got LalaDX yesterday and AnS chapter 26 is the end of the “Tanburn Arc” of the story. After that the series will move to Lala magazine, which means the series will potentially be a monthly series beginning with chpater 27. I talked matters over with TZA and it seems to us that it would be best to let Omari’s Sister finish out the Tanburn Arc and then transition the project entirely over to TZA and Neteru Mouse when it moves to Lala. We’ll work on chapters 25 and 26 concurrently with our other projects. We will release chapter 25 … Continue reading Announcement: We’re Gonna Finish Akagami no Shirayukihime Chp 25 & 26

We finally got a translator for “Pika Ichi” so now we can continue the series on a monthly release schedule. Hooray for Amrai! Let’s thank her for doing an excellent job on the translation. Let’s see…this is chapter 9…ah…and we begin with the WTH moment of Hanako is Dougen’s arms. That Dougen is a sly d***…There’s something seriously wrong with that guy’s brain and personally, when dealing with people like him I go by the words of an old song by Poe — “Can’t talk to a psycho like a normal human being”. If only dear Hanako understood that concept … Continue reading Pika Ichi Chapter 9
