Magnolia Chapter 10 — Beefcake! Beefcake!

K3

  I suspect after this chapter, Sui is going to gain some new fans.  I didn’t expect to see a different side of Sui, so this chapter was a happy surprise and I heap praise upon Naked Ape for developing Sui this way. Oh!  And thanks to Ichigo Stars for help with the title page! Links to Magnolia Chapter 10:  (Zip) (PDF) Spoiler Alert!  Spoilers Ahead! My Thoughts on this Chapter: Sui…oh my…so, can we also have the side series “Sui” or maybe just a short omake?  So…why can Ayato abdicate so Sui can be king?  What’s going on with … Continue reading Magnolia Chapter 10 — Beefcake!

Akagami no Shirayukihime Chapter 24

K3

This was supposed to come out a little over a week ago, but sometimes life takes unexpected and sad turns, and people have to stop everything to observe the passing of a life.  It’s difficult to take the passing of someone your own age.  I didn’t know the deceased well, but her death did cause me to pause and assess my own mortality.  All I have to say is life is fragile, so make everyday your best :). Anyhow…here’s Akagami no Shirayukihime chapter 24.  This chapter taunted and teased me the whole time.  It really fought against get done.  Hahaha!  … Continue reading Akagami no Shirayukihime Chapter 24

Pika Ichi Update!

K3

I have “Pika Ichi” chapter 10 and based on the content, we will resume the series!  Chapter 8 has been sent to the cleaners.  May is already set, so the resumption of series will happen sometime after May.  I will have to look at the schedule and reassess the priority of releases.  This is really hard, because there are a lot of one-shots I’m very in love with.  We’ll figure it out though.

Furou Kyoudai, The Scarecrow of Oz1 Comment

"Scarecrow of Oz" and "Furou Kyoudai" Update

K3

The “Scarecrow of Oz” compilation book is scheduled to go on sale on June 20th.  There’s no listing yet, but since “Furou Kyoudai” came out after, then the compilation should go on sale sometime in July.  This means we can start “The Scarecrow of Oz” in July and then “Furou Kyoudai” will start in August.  I’m very happy about this!  It means we can deliver a high quality version of these short series with out killing ourselves.  When the books do come out, I will, of course, post links so you can purchase your own copies :).

Please Do Not Upload Omari’s Sister’s Projects

K3

Do not force me to do something draconian! I can’t believe I have to say this again x2.  Please do not upload our projects to ANY of the manga aggregation websites.  Do not strip the credits pages from our work and upload them.  Do not claim that the work comes from another group and upload them. It is not fair to have a manga aggregation website profit from work they didn’t do.  They don’t share their profits with the original artist or the group that did the translation.

Ouran High School Host Club Volume 18 Extras

K3

First of all, let me encourage you to buy this volume in Japanese, whether you can read it or not (you should have the translation already), in order to directly support Hatori-sensei.  Here are some links to online stores: Amazon Japan Yes Asia ($7.99 + $3.99 shipping!) And now onto the good stuff.  Like somebody else commented in the teaser post, these extras should give most everyone a satisfying end to the “Ouran High School Host Club” series.  I still want more Kyouya…but I’ll live, I suppose.  Also…I shouldn’t complain too much since I did get this (as written in … Continue reading Ouran High School Host Club Volume 18 Extras

Ouran Volume 18 Extras Teaser

K3

It’s coming soon *SQUEE*!!!!  There are actually several extra pages interspersed throughout the volume and most of it is in Hatori-sensei’s barely legible chicken scratch kanjis.  I will start working on it tomorrow.  I think I’ll get the omake and the thank you pages out tomorrow and then release the other extra pages day by day while I finish up AnS Chp 24 and “3-Hearts”.The extra pages between the chapters show all the Ouran main characters and a few of the secondary characters grown up.  These pages are definitely squeal worthy and I want to give them the time they … Continue reading Ouran Volume 18 Extras Teaser
