"Magnolia": The Black Twins Special Chapter

Here it is on the 30th, just as promise.  This is a cute short chapter with lots of laughs.  It takes place directly after Robert comes back from talking to Sui.  It’s still not clear to me whether Robert is actually “Roberta,”… I kinda hope so because it makes the Black Twins far more interesting. Anyhow, the twins seem very close like Sui and Ayato and I like that. Onto the release! Link to the Black Twins Special Chapter: (PDF) Next up…I don’t know. December is shaping up to be a big unknown. I’m currently working on “Butakai Ouji to … Continue reading "Magnolia": The Black Twins Special Chapter

"Magnolia" Chapter 26

I need to take care of a couple of bits of business first. “Magnolia” Volume 5 is available for purchase. Lily is on the cover and the volume includes Chapters 22 – 16, “Lily” chapter 4 and the Black Twins special chapter. (Amazon JP) (YesAsia) We need proofreaders and QCers. Releases are now being delayed because of the lack of proofreaders/QCers.  If you have time, are fluent in English, knowledgeable about English grammar, and interested in volunteering, please send me an email (omarissister@gmail.com) To see highlights of the stuff in the manga magazines I enjoy, please see the Omari’s Sister … Continue reading "Magnolia" Chapter 26

"Magnolia" Chp 25

First of all a bit of business.  The Omari’s Sister end-of-summer sale is going on now.  There are still lots of great items and books left to buy.  Please check it out here (Link). A big thanks to those of you who have already made purchases. With the money raised this round, Omari’s Sister is self sustaining for another 4 months!  Hooray!!!  Just as an interesting side note: this time around about 75% of the purchases were made by folks outside of the US. Hello, worldly people!  I’m glad to make your acquaintance! Yes, I do ship Internationally, and as … Continue reading "Magnolia" Chp 25

"Magnolia" Chapter 24

Oh Nagi, what evil pills has Vincent given to you?! No don’t take them!!! Nagi!!! This is a very short chapter and most of it is flashback. It seems that Naked Ape is going to get the most out of Queen Angela’s letter.  But I understand…they’re busy.  They’ve got two series running in Zero-Sum magazine and private works they offer through their own website. Anyhow…enjoy the 30-seconds of pleasure!Link to “Magnolia” chapter 24: (PDF) Next up…I don’t know.  We are currently working on “Servamp” chapter 3, “The Day I Kissed a Whale”, “Summer Blue,” and the “Pochama ni” prequel one-shot. Continue reading "Magnolia" Chapter 24

"Lily" Chapter 4

I have the sinking feeling that this chapter is going to piss a lot of people off. It’s well worn shoujo territory and there are lots of folk who read OS who are opposed to student/teacher relationships, including myself. Unfortunately, this is part of the “Magnolia” story, so I can’t just not translate it. That would be weird. I had to set a lot of my brain aside to accept this chapter. First I had to set aside my hatred for student/teacher relationship fantasies, then I had to set aside my hatred for age gap fantasies, and finally I had … Continue reading "Lily" Chapter 4

Magnolia Chapter 23

For those of you who hate Hugo, this chapter is going to suck. I love Hugo, so I thought this was a very romantic chapter. Hahaha! Unfortunately, we are left at the end with a nasty cliff hanger and the cruel news that the mangaka are skipping the next issue in order to collect material to continue the series.  But! Lily chapter 4 is coming out in Itan on the 25th, so we will have a Magnolia related chapter in July!  Hooray! That should ease the pain of waiting. On to the release! Link to “Magnolia” Chapter 23:  (PDF) OS … Continue reading Magnolia Chapter 23

"Magnolia" Chp 22

Update:  If you are having problems viewing this file, please upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader (version 8 or above).  Just this once, I have re-crunched the file so it is compatible with version 6 and above.  If you are using some other PDF reader, all bets are off moving forward. This is the last time I will crunch a file to be viewed by an ancient version of Acrobat. This seems like a bridge chapter to the next story arc.  Not much new is revealed in this chapter, but it’s necessary to cement some of the … Continue reading "Magnolia" Chp 22

"Magnolia" Chapter 21

At last we make a big move in the story! And Nagi’s suffering intensifies. Poor, poor Nagi.  Hmm…what’s Vincent up to? I haven’t decided whether he’s suspicious or not. So far he seems like a really nice but tragic figure. Thanks to Ichi for some great redraws 🙂 And now onto the links!Link to “Magnolia” Chp 21:  (PDF) Next up is a special Spring one-shot.  This one-shot kinda goes against the kind of story we like to do at Omari’s Sister, but I couldn’t past up the story and the art. Oh! And please support Omari’s Sister by purchasing some … Continue reading "Magnolia" Chapter 21
