Orange Chocolate Chapters 18 and 19

K3

First of all, I want to apologize to all the “Orange Chocolate” fans for the long delay since chapter 17.  From now on, there will be at least one chapter of “Orange Chocolate” released each month (unless the we’re caught up and the mangaka takes a break).  And now here are chapters 18 and 19 of Orange Chocolate.  Finally, we’re getting back to the main story.  I think chapter 19 is a beautiful little gem of a chapter and probably my favorite chapter of this series so far.

Teaser: Orange Chocolate Chapters 18 and 19

K3

Here’s a little teaser to get you ready for the double release of “Orange Chocolate” chapters 18 and 19.  I decided to do a double release because these two chapters go together well and it would be cruel to keep you all waiting in between chapters.  Also, I didn’t want to break the emotional momentum that builds in chapter 18. We’re aiming for the release of both chapters on the 10th and it looks like we are going to be able to deliver :). Continue reading Teaser: Orange Chocolate Chapters 18 and 19

November 2010 at Omari’s Sister

Yikes!  This post is late!  It kept slipping my mind because I was so excited about “Junketsu + Kareshi” and “Magnolia.” October was quite a productive month!  Officially we got out 10 releases, but we did manage to get J+K out about an hour before the end of the month for a total of 11 releases!  I don’t think we be able to be that productive again, especially as we head into the holiday season.  With the passing of October, we say goodbye to one of our cleaners Tedhi.  I’m sorry to see her go, but when real life calls, … Continue reading November 2010 at Omari’s Sister

Magnolia Chapter 4

K3

I weep no more for the ending of “Zettai Heiwa Daisakusen” because another has come to walk in Johanne’s shoes.  Bless you Naked Ape for giving us Yugo! Links to “Magnolia Chapter 4”  (Zip) (PDF) Note:  A slight change to the translation was made to a flash back to chapter 2.  Chapter 2 has been updated accordingly. Chapter 5 can’t come soon enough!  AUGH!!!  I’m suffering!!!!  I hope we find out who Lily’s guy is soon.  Is he royalty, military, a gigolo or some random party crasher? Next up is a double release of “Orange Chocolate” because chapter 18 and … Continue reading Magnolia Chapter 4

Happy Halloween: Junketsu + Kareshi Chapter 4

K3

I can’t believe we finished this before the end of Halloween night!  It was such a joy translating and editing the images in the chapter :).  I love handling beautiful drawings!  I couldn’t redraw the intro color 2-page spread, but I did redraw/extrapolate the gap between the pages of a very important scene.  All hail the mighty PhotoShop Pen Tool! Anyhow Happy Halloween! Links to “Junketsu + Kareshi” chapter 4 (Zip) (PDF) — Retired I don’t know what to make of the ending, but I’m guessing this is the end of the “prologue” and now we get into the meat … Continue reading Happy Halloween: Junketsu + Kareshi Chapter 4
