Planning for 2014 — Thanks for your Input

Thanks to everyone who gave us feedback through the survey and especially to those who took the time to write thoughtful comments.  We understand that the readers of this blog want more josei, while not neglecting shoujo. We understand that you come to this blog to read something different than the typical middle school and high school shoujos.  And we got the message loud and clear that you like oneshots and short series. First of all, we still have some typical shoujos in the pipeline.  We will complete these projects and then move on. These projects include: “Ore to Atashi … Continue reading Planning for 2014 — Thanks for your Input

Planning for 2014 — Your Feedback is Wanted

NOTE:  WE AREN’T DROPPING ANY SERIES. WE ARE DILIGENTLY WORKING ON UNFINISHED SERIES. THEY WILL GET DONE.  2013 is winding down, so it’s time to start planning for 2014! This year we started making an effort to only take on short series and more oneshots. This summer we started exploring josei. We will continue the transition to short series and more oneshots in 2014. As a translator, I’ve found working on long-form oneshots to be very fulfilling.

Retired — New Series: "Shingeki to Kyojin — The Birth of Levi" Chapter 0 (Prologue)

As promised, we will be translating the “Attack on Titan” Levi spinoff.  What better way than this to kick off our special fall releases!  This is a short prologue to the series.  The actual series will begin at the end of November.  This project will be our top priority, and we will do our best to release the chapters within a week of Aria arriving in the mail.  I typically get Aria the day of or the day after release in Japan. A big thank to Ichigo Stars for helping me with the redraws (and repaints). It’s pretty amazing that … Continue reading Retired — New Series: "Shingeki to Kyojin — The Birth of Levi" Chapter 0 (Prologue)

Welcome to Crimson Flower!

Update:  For those of you who subscribe to our RSS feed, the new URL is: http://feeds.feedburner.com/CrimsonFlower– The Subscribe to RSS Links have also been updated! Please let me know if it’s not working for you.————————————– I’m sorry for the abrupt change.  Omari’s Sister has always been a joke between me and my brother.  The joke has run on for far too long and… apparently there’s something going on with an Omari on some reality television show that’s causing occasional namespace collisions.  Omari asked me to change the name, so in keeping with his wishes, we are now “Crimson Flower”.  I … Continue reading Welcome to Crimson Flower!
