Magnolia Chapter 5

K3

One agonizing wait is over only to begin another.  The mental well being of a Magnolia fan is never good.  Hahaha!  We finally get the answer to how Ayato’s Dad reacts to Ayato dressed as a woman.  The reaction, in general, is as I expected, but I didn’t anticipate the extent of the reaction.  Needless to say, I was quite pleased by the whole scene.  Thank you Naked Ape for exceeding my expectations! Links to Magnolia Chp 5:  (Zip) (PDF) I made a small update to “Magnolia” chapter 2 that has some impact to the story.  I think there was … Continue reading Magnolia Chapter 5

Junketsu + Kareshi Chp 5

K3

Here is “Junketsu + Kareshi” Chapter 5!  The cliffhanger from chapter 4 is resolved very unexpectedly, and now it makes me wonder what direction this story is taking.  I like that I was surprised in this manner, though, because what happened took courage to do.  It’s definitely not cliched :).

December at Omari’s Sister

K3

November went better than expected :).  We managed to put out some great releases and spent a lot time spinning our wheels on Pika Ichi. Onto December!  Our wonderful cleaner Silver Lunar is taking a break, so I decided to recruit some more people to fill in and to help out in the future.  I’ve decided to stretch my project management skills by taking on more people so we can get the work planned done.  We’ll see how this goes…I pray my head doesn’t explode. There is too much good stuff out there and it frustrates me because we can’t … Continue reading December at Omari’s Sister
